Norwegian Getaway

8 Night Bahamas: Great Stirrup Cay & Florida (New York Roundtrip)

Sail date: February 18, 2023

Ship: Norwegian Getaway

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 1 year ago

Review summary

It’s my first cruise with NCL and will be my last. Change of itinerary multiple times before sail day, then cancelled Bermuda last minutes and took us to Miami! Delayed on our first day to Florida too. So at the end this terrible 8 day trip became 3 days in Florida, half day in Bahamas and 4.5 SEA DAYs. If I want to go to Florida it would be better to just fly. There were way too many people on the ship, had to wait a long time for anything. No reservation available anywhere. Activities extremely boring and the pool was filled with people and terrible music. It was a 8 day suffer for my friends, nobody seems happy at the end. I will NEVER give NCL my money. This is a total rip off.

Sorry to hear you had a bad first experience. The Norwegian Getaway was our favorite cruise out of the 13 cruises that we've been on together. We had an absolute blast! Maybe it's changed.

I just got off also.I had a blast personally yes it was packed with pax.I heard 4,900.It was school vacation week.I love Bermuda but it would've been chilly.

It's not the Master of the Vessel to blame. Weather can have a lot to do with it. Also, they took Bermuda away because of during the pandemic people had to get coded shots and show their proof 48 hours before they boarded

Yes, was there bad weather and what was your original itinerary?

Were the changes due to weather? Did they at least offer compensation?
