Norwegian Getaway - Reviews

Good (OK) cruise at a great price. Drink package was great to have.

good experience, just the very sonsa food and the very bad and expensive shopping

Enjoyed the sports of call. My room was good and I got a great price. However, they do nickle and dime you for everything. The drink gratuity is a joke!

This cruise was fantastic. Getting a sea day at the end was a bonus because we could rest up for the long trip home.

The mini suite was nice, although the balcony was tiny. The walking area on 16 was fair, there was no full ship walking area on 7 or 8. The smoking area on 15 was inhuman, the cigar lounge stuffy and over lit. Cruise director was nonexistent. All complementary dining very weak.

This is our first Norwegian cruise and found out it is a huge ship. Enjoy the entertainment on board. Our 250 min internet access is a joke, slow. Also, signing out is needed every time. I thought I signed out one time, but it didn't. So it consumed the rest of my minutes in 3 hours. It should intelligent enough to sign off when your smartphone phone went to sleep.

Overall, this trip met or exceeded our expectations and since we were planning it for more than two-years, that's a really good thing!

We had very bad experience from the tie time we booked the cruise. The waiting time for call to be answered was minimum 40 minutes, and even when some one pick up, you cannot be sure that the agent will be there to complete your request. We were two families, We called the shore excursion agent to book the excursion. We booked the same excursions for us and our brother-in-law. Traditional History and City Highlights fo Helsinki. They booked the wrong one for our brother-in-law, and goofed by booked them for Helsinki by land & sea. Then even that ticket was not in the cabin. We had to go back to the shore excursion desk and have it changed. The clerk was kind enough to get us accommodated on a nearly full bus

It was my first cruise and I was pleasantly surprised. I felt a sense of community and the energy/vibe was so positive. The amount of activities offered made it easy for anyone to find things they enjoy and there was enough space on the boat for people to find spots of solitude. The food, company, activities, and organization exceeded my expectations. I will cruise again:).

Great ports. Million Dollar Quartet was excellent. The beverage package is good if included. If not, it is outrageously expensive. Pay by the drink if you are not on it unless you drink all day and all night.

Food not impressive...good meal at Ocean Blue and Le Bistro...very loud ship . Very nice room decorations for our 50th anniversary ....lovely cakes for our anniversary

Needless to say this was not one of our favorite cruises. Not sure whether it is Norwegians problem or the captains but we are very dissatisfied with the company

Enjoyed almost every moment. Smooth sailing, nice to have light til late in the evening. Food was fabulous, employees friendly and helpful. Enjoyed our balcony.

This was our 8th cruise and our first cruise with Norwegian. We wanted to see the Baltic cities and chose this cruise as we though it was good value for the 9 nights and we did not want to go on a 11 or 13 night cruise. We did not like the Freestyle dining. I much prefer a set dining and show time. Even though it is Freestyle, you have to reserve your seating ahead of time and the same with the 3 main shows. The shows were adequate. Norwegian staff did not do much to make sure people obeyed rules (kids in the Adult hot tub, people sitting in stairwells, drunks in the spa). We did not use Norwegian shore excursions because they were unbelievably expensive. We used TJ Travel. Many outdoor activities were closed during our sailing due to weather, but the weather was not stormy -- it was just overcast and cool. The highlights: our balcony cabin was worth the extra money, our cabin steward was good, and the food was not bad. Overall, I much prefer Disney or Carnival for the service, things to do, shows, and amenities, but these were not offered in the Baltic.

It was an excellent cruise, however, if you don’t like crowds and cold weather, you should think about other ships.

Overall it’s a great trip. The cruise line has great customer service and station room cleaning staff. Need improve communication about port address and provide bus or free shuttle information.

Great to see several countries to help you decide which ones you want to visit again for more thorough exploration.

Great cruise, great ports, great staff, great food. Room 10449 not great if you like to sleep.

Never paid for a drink with the adult liquor package (base brands included Tito's, J.Walker, Tangueray and many others). Internet was bad in the room (download 1MB per minute). Less than half were Americans on board. Older crowd.

We loved the NCL Getaway and the friendly, kind staff! This is a LARGE ship, and thus there are plenty of things to do, especially during the days at sea such as the casino, trivia games, and shows...we loved the food/meal options, and tried them all. The excursions were a bit pricey, but very, very good!
