Review summary

We sailed on this cruise around the Baltics in 2017. It was our first cruise with NCL and we had a fantastic time! I would particularly recommend this itinerary. We have since sailed with NCL again and enjoy the experience every time.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation went very quickly. We arrived at the terminal early and quickly got checked in and boarded!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
There were so many options for eating, all of them very high quality. The buffet had loads of great options and the food in the main dining rooms was tasty every night.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There was so much to do! We enjoyed everything - mini golf, rock climbing wall, water-slides, ropes course etc!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The entertainment on offer was excellent. Burn the Floor and Million Dollar Quartet were great and we really enjoyed the illusionarium.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff were all friendly and happy to help. Special mention must go to Jaephaque, Donny, Alex and Gio from the recreation staff who were all brilliant, they learnt our names and went the extra mile to make our cruise special.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Getaway is a fantastic ship. It's large, but we rarely had any problems with crowds. It's well designed and there's so much to do!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
This was an excellent balcony cabin, which was kept very clean and tidy. It had plenty of space for 3 of us.

Disembarkation

Disembarkation was very quick - we had an organised shore excursion around Copenhagen with NCL, and were able to get off the ship at a good time and quickly.

Thanks for this review. Some people who write bad reviews often forget to mention their personality type. Even a quick note indicating that they are perpetual complainers would help. I can see you true colors shining through with this great review .. thank you
