Review summary

We will not be cruising on Norwegian again. Cruises are supposed to be special and grand. This cruise was just plain and ordinary. Overcrowded with very rude kids, food was similar to cafeteria food, overall our cruise was disappointing.

Honestly, I’ve got to agree with you when it comes to the Getaway. I felt like it was ‘just a cruise’ and nothing really special. Not that I had a horrible time on the Getaway, but I also didn’t feel like it was the best cruise ever. It was just average to me, but when I go cruising, I want it to be an experience.

We enjoyed the Getaway very much, but that was in 2014 when it was brand new. Still gets very good reviews though.
