Fun cruise with friends we met on another cruise. This was our third cruise on the Getaway in a year and it was so nice to walk on and have the cruise next couple remember us and call us by name and welcome us back.

Review summary

We booked this cruise with people we met on the Getaway last year. We had so much fun just like last year. This was our third time on the getaway and I have to say the crowd on this cruise was not the usual ncl crowd. At times I felt like I was on a carnival ship. Lots of kids with no parental control. Running up and down hallways and in restaurants. The last sea day there were huge groups of young people that took over the pool and deck around the pool. They were so out of control that they had to position officers around the pool. They were smoking and vaping in the pool. They were doing flips into the pool. They put ten people in The hot tubs. It was crazy.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Very easy. Walked right up to the desk, got my card and walked right onto the ship. To be fair we had priority being sapphire.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Had dinner in four specialty restaurants so we only ate three times in MDR. Food in MDR was not the best but ok.

Le Bistro French Restaurant

5 out of 5

By far our favorite restaurant. Once again they did not disappoint. The service is always five star.

Howl at the Moon

It was hard to believe these three entertainers met each other the first day of the cruise. They were so funny and good. Thoroughly enjoyed every show

Cabin / Stateroom

They need more help to clean cabins. Our steward was working until 5 every day so there were times we had very late service. Not her fault but very annoying.

I’m sailing on the Getaway on this same itinerary in March 2025. It sounds like it was a fun time aside from kids being crazy. I’m looking forward to the specialty dining and entertainment on board! 😊 Thank you for your review!
