Unsupervised, disruptive children and teens on the sailing led to a decline in my experience on the Norwegian Getaway this time around. The indifference of their parents affected the overall experience. The quality of the food and drinks also went down versus the time I first sailed on the ship the except at La Cucina. One thing for sure, the wi-fi worked great. Steer clear of school holidays!

Food and Dining

Options in the buffet and the main dining room were not impressive, but there were a few standout dishes that were very good. La Cucina is consistently excellent.

Ship Quality

Very easy to navigate without getting lost.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
Cabin was fine although I had to wipe the salt and sand off the balcony railing. Note it is directly above the Waterfront so our view of the ocean was partially obstructed. Not a dealbreaker, however I didn't know this in advance.
Ship tip
Embark, disembark and eat early to avoid the crowds.
Bermuda’s port, dominated by stony fortresses rather than palm trees, often disappoints with poor weather during my visits. Yet, it offers a handy pharmacy and convenient transport to Hamilton and St. George.
Took the excursion to Maho Beach which was great for planespotting. It is near the Sunset Bar & Grill where you have to pay a $1 to go to the restroom and there is no place to wash sand off your feet.
I did self-assist and a lot of people had the same idea as me. When areas became jam packed the crew was wonderful in opening up other passages for guests to disembark.
