Review summary

Norwegian Get away is big new ship (expected 4500 passengers or more) but well organized, not much chaos as I imagined. Clean nice ships but everything is in OK to good (food, service, staffs....) NOT SUPER GREAT but NOT BAD as all like other reviews. Personally I think the food is too salty, not enough entertainments (shows or activities) so for the price of the cruise, overall I have OK to good experience, not super fantastic but nothing for me to complain, except the waiting time in the morning when we waiting to get out in St. Peterburgs port, it was long and no one announce anything that make us nervous and worry about our tour. Also when the ship docked at Rostock, we had no idea because we thought it would dock at Warnumende as our original itinenarry when we booked the cruise. No really a big deal but we wish the captain or cruise director doing a better job to make sure we are not confusing or well prepared.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

food is very salty for my taste. Didn't try specialty restaurants but buffets and regular dining restaurants has variety of choice, good in general but nothing special or excellent.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Not much things going around. It is just ok but nothing special.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Not much shows to enjoy for 9 days cruise. Few shows needed to pay to see. Except Burn the floor is a great group of entertaining dancers. Funky Duo is a great couple that we enjoyed most of her songs and her voice.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Our kids love Splash Academy.
