The ship entertainment, activities, and the food were all pretty awful. This was my first experience with NCL and will be my last because I don’t want to risk another very boring crappy experience. I will stick with Royal Caribbean.
Embarkation
3 out of 5
Online check in glitched and when we got there they had us complete the entire check in all over again
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
1 out of 5
They have several dining rooms, but the menu is the same everywhere. We are not usually picky but the food was awful. It was like they were trying way too hard to make their food fancy and was ruining all of it.
Onboard Activities
1 out of 5
There were very few onboard activities unless you want to go from bar to bar drinking. They had very few shows. We spent most of our time in the room. We cruise a lot and this was truly the worst experience
Entertainment
1 out of 5
There was basically nothing to do
Service and Staff
2 out of 5
Every ship I have gone on (RC and Carnival), the staff is always friendly and helpful. On this cruise they were very abrupt and rude.
Ship Quality
2 out of 5
Over all it was a nice looking ship.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
The bathroom and shower were massive.
Ship tip
I would tell them to do their research and find a different ship. A lot of my friends say they love Norwegian and their experiences were very different than mine. The things I am saying are things that most others on the ship were saying. I would never go on this ship again
Nothing to do in the city area, but if you walk along the water and make your way out, there is a wooded area with a path that goes along the water and it is amazing!!!
I was so excited about berlin but it was a let down. It was so dirty with trash everywhere, graffiti on everything. I thought there would be more history.
We have been on the Getaway numerous times and loved it. It is hard to believe that every port was boring to you. I have been to some of those places and loved them. I’m sorry you had such a bad time.
Wonderful itinerary! We have been on the Getaway and had a great time. The food and service were outstanding. Sorry you were not pleased. Personally, we prefer the dining and drink options on NCL over Royal
