Review summary

The food was not great! The ship was beautifully designed. Long waits for food and activities were lacking. The use crowd control methods by ending theme parties early. Rumors and Junkd was the only worthwhile entertainment shows worth watching.

I traveled from 13-20 Aug 2022 on NCL Getaway and it was phenomenal. They ensured we were safe, we got to every port on time, the Freestyle Daily provides an array of things to do on the ship for EVERYONE and EVERY AGE GROUP. Amazing. It's a lot of behind the scenes work involved at this magnitude of people (3000 or more) on the cruise. Extremely organized, staff very polite and helpful, and assorted complimentary places to eat where food comes with your ticket on the cruise. I loved every morning having breakfast at the Garden Cafe. Food is ALWAYS fresh and delicious and NEVER lines. One of the servers would get my coffee and water for me every morning. Just so kind to me and I traveled Solo. This was a phenomenal cruise and I loved visiting the different ports with an open mind and heart to appreciate the culture and love from the people. I will definitely travel again with NCL Getaway or any NCL ship. Thanks for taking great care of us and getting us safely to four different Eastern Carribean locations and we will soon be home in the morning. I just watched a great show, Burn the Floor. Loved every minute and the food from Specialty Restaurants were delicious from Cagney Steakhouse and The Ocean Blue. I prepaid for these 2 meals deal that was offered. Delicious!!! Thanks for EVERYTHING and for a job well done. Note: my stateroom was cleaned daily and beds made. Thanks
