Embarkation was very organized and fast. As long as you have your passport and credit card ready for adding money to your account - you are good to go!

The food on Norwegian Cruise-Ship: Getaway IS Awesome! The Tropicana Room is the best - you get a wonderful dinner with a live show.

Good food. You will see the same foods everyday... so it’s a stable place to get some good food.

Always a problem with any O’Sheehan’s on any Norwegian Cruise Ship... just ugh :-/ Poor Service. Lots of racial profiling.

Shanghai's Noodle Bar

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

Spice H2O - Adult pool was a fabulous way to keep cool away from kids running all over... The fitness center was pretty big and spacious.

Pulse Fitness Center

4 out of 5

Good sized fitness center with plenty of equipment and a separate weight room on the other side of the hall

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Norwegian will ‘Nickle and Dime’ you for every little show and event. Almost 70-75% of their onboard events cost money - so be prepared (tickets range Adults $49. To $79. Per person per show)

Spice H2O

5 out of 5

Excellent Chill Space for ADULTS! No kids, children, babies ... no more needs to be said. The drinks are great too

Getaway Theater

4 out of 5

Nice size theatre... no small tables for your drinks or your bingo cards. Plenty of leg room

Children's Programs

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

The ship staff are great!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

The Getaway ship was clean and tidy... lots of cleaning carts and vacuums left in the narrow hallways and corridors.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Surprisingly spacious! We had plenty of space and was far enough from the main walkway to not hear lots of commotion. :-)

Ship tip

Have lots of cash and/or credit ready for paying for events.

The best excursion ever... semi-submarine ! You are driven to different areas of Roatan and then see the Coral Reefs - the world’s 2nd largest! Fantastic time!
