Review summary

We knew we booked during hurricane season, but the weather was exceptionally bad -- which led to outer decks/walks closed sometimes and upper decks/activities closed and canceled most of the trip. BJ's booking was HORRIBLE. Nothing but problems. From the promotions not going thru to room designation being wrong, to nobody answering emails and having to escalate to issues with not making payment to norwegian and ME spending a total of 3 HOURS dealing with it.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Main dining rooms were great! Gluten free options everywhere! Specialty were good, but not sure that I would spend money on them outside of a package.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Most outdoor things were closed most days because of the weather. Main pool was waaaay too small. Ropes Course was fun the limited time it was open.

We love the Getaway. Sorry about the bad weather. We normally sail in the fall and seldom get to use the pool areas due to cool weather.
