Review summary

NORWEGIAN GETAWAY WAS PERFECT FOR MY HUSBAND AND ME. IT WASN'T TOO LITTLE OR TOO MUCH TO DO. WE WANTED TO BE ABLE TO RELAX, NO RUSH, NO MILLION THINGS TO RUN TO... AND THAT IS EXACTLY HOW IT WENT. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOAT AND ITINERARY. THE TWO EXTRA DAYS AT SEA DAYS WERE THE PERFECT BLEND TO THE DAYS OF TOURING. I LIKED IT SOO MUCH, I WOULD DO THIS SAME CRUISE ALL OVER AGAIN.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
THERE WERE DIFFERENT OPTIONS OF ACTIVITIES. WE DID GAME ROOM, BOWLING, DARTS, CASINO, TRIVIA, ETC. SOME HAD AN EXTRA COST NONETHELESS HAD A GREAT TIME.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
THERE WERE NOT MANY OPTIONS FOR FREE SHOWS, ONLY ABOUT 2 AND ALL OTHERS REQUIRED TO PAY EXTRA TO SEE. THE MAIN FREE SHOW, BURN THE FLOOR, WAS EXCELLENT AND HIGHLY RECOMMEND. THE DJ'S AND SHOW WERE OK AND ENJOYABLE.

Children's Programs

DID NOT BRING CHILDREN

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
STAFF WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND, ESPECIALLY OUR ROOM STEWARD AND THE HOSTESSES FROM THE TASTE RESTUARANT. THEY WENT OUT OF THIER WAY EVERYDAY TO ACCOMMODATE US AND GIVE US THE BEST POSSIBLE DINNER.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
CLEANLINESS WAS FINE BUT THE SHIP'S DESIGN IS A BIT AWKWARD. THE MAIN PART OF THE SHIP WAS THE ATRIUM WHICH WAS VERY BLAND AND NOT AS GRAND AS OTHER CRUISE LINE SHIPS BUT WHAT MADE IT AWKWARD WAS THAT IT WAS THE PLACE WHERE ALL THE MAIN EVENTS WERE HELD BUT IT IS SURROUNDED BY A CAFE, ONE LARGE BAR, ONE SMALL BAR, GUEST SERVICES DESK, INTERNET DESK, AND OTHER CRUISE DESKS SO ALL THE NOISE FROM ALL THESE OTHER THINGS DID NOT ALLOW FOR THE EVENTS TO BE HEARD WITHOUT NAUSIANCE OF THE EXTRERNAL NOISES. ALSO, THE CASINO IS NOT CONFINED IN ONE AREA, IT IS SPREAD OUT IN THE HALLS ALONG THE BOAT OF ONE OF THE FLOORS WHICH MAKES THAT SPECIFIC HALL VERY BUSY AND ALL THE SMOKE FROM THE CASINO COULD BE SMELLED THROUGH OUT THE SHIP.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
CABIN WAS EXCELLENT SIZE, SUPER COMFORTABLE AND VERY CLEAN. I LOVED THE SIZE OF THE BATHROOM AS WELL AND THE BALCONY WAS AMAZING.

Ship tip

JUST RELAX AND ENJOY WITHOUT FEELING YOU HAVE TO DO EVERYTHING!!!! THE BEST THING ABOUT NORWEGIAN CRUISE SHIPS IS THE FREE STYLE DINNING!! LOVED IT BECUASE WE WERE NOT HELD UP BY TIMES.
