Review summary
I just got back from my 10 day cruise aboard the NCL Getaway, sailing from New York City to Puerto Plata, San Juan, St. Thomas and Tortola from February 6-10 2024. The ship was beautiful and had incredible dining, great bars, fantastic entertainment and a best-in-it’s-class staff! I’m seeing some negative reviews out there, but I really don’t understand how those people could possibly see anything negative, unless they are just plainly delusional or unhappy people. This cruise was absolutely phenomenal! To point out some specific people and things that really stood out: Kevin at the Vibe Beach Club - such an awesome guy who took really great care of us. Super attentive, personable, and really made sure that we were having the best vacation we could! Thanks Kevin! Christopher and Leo (Leonard) at the Meridian Bar - I’ve worked in hospitality, food and bar service for over twenty years, and I’ve never seen bartenders with such precise mixology. Their cocktails were the best I’ve ever had, they worked so fast - nobody at their bar ever waited for a second drink, and they were just really stellar hosts at their bar. Every single person sitting at that beautiful bar felt as though they were Chris and Leo’s centre of attention. I really cannot say enough good things about these two. Just the BEST bartenders and hosts I think I’ve ever had the pleasure of joining. AMAZING work, and thank you for all the incredible and tasty cocktails guys! Special mention to Romel and Kirk too! Cagney’s Steakhouse was next-level wonderful! The food was comparable to a 5 star steakhouse in the heart of Chicago or New York City. The service was A+ and that of a fine-dining restaurant in Europe. Specific shout outs to Mary and Michael- the best servers on the ship! And to Joshua who paired us with the perfect wine to compliment this outstanding meal. Josh became a part of our experience quickly and was a great addition! Thank you to the whole team! Adrian at the Sail & Sustain bar, outside the Mojito Bar on the Waterfront - another absolute gem of a bartender who made some of the best cocktails I’ve ever tasted, and was just a wonderful host who took extra good care of us and genuinely wanted to give his best. What a great guy and top-notch service! Entertainment was incredible! Burn The Floor and Million Dollar Quartet were Broadway-calibre shows with top production value and immense talent displayed! Headliners Comedy Club had legitimate standup comedy with real pros on the microphone. Aside from oblivious drunkards bringing loud and badly behaved kids to these shows and sitting front row and letting these kids do whatever they wanted, the comedians were all on-point and able to make sure to keep the laughs and good times coming! Overall, the NCL Getaway experience was a 10/10, 5 stars, A+ for my entire group. But what really stood out to us was the incredible staff of this boat. Servers, bartenders, room attendants - they were all above-and-beyond what I’ve ever seen even at the most exclusive and top-rated all-inclusive resorts. Thank you to everyone on this amazing team!Embarkation
