Review summary

Cruise was fair, but the rerouting was inconvenient and since no significant time was spent in Nassau (only there fro 9PM to 2:45AM!!!) what was the point in wasting all that food and fuel? Our travel agent with United airlines cruise(Ms June Cook) was no help at all in resolving this mess. she only babbled on about the cruise line could change itineraries as stated in documents that we never received. All in all I could not recommend NCL for cruising as based on our recent experience. Ship's wifi could only accommodate Apple phones.One of our friends who was minding our cat has an android and we could not reach her. WHY IS THIS??????

Cabin / Stateroom

If we had known that we are not going to Bermuda would have picked a different cabin.

Ship tip

Don’t go on the Getaway, it’s old and equipment is not working, food is mediocre even the specialty restaurant s might as well eat the buffet food, might get something good accidentally.

Thanks for the honest review. Some other people who went on this same cruise expressed their dissatisfaction a little harsher. Your review was more factual, so thanks for that. NCL gets worse and worse, apparently.

Every cruise company states that they may change itinerary for any reason and if you are dealing with a travel agent that never sent you travel documents, you need to find another travel agent.

Cruise itineraries are changed many times for various reasons, including weather, mechanical issues with the ship, political, unrest, etc. The cruise contract that everyone agrees to when booking indicates the itinerary is not guaranteed, and no compensation is required, although it is sometimes offered. If a particular port is of extreme importance, you should probably book a trip there rather than depending on the cruise ship to get you there.
