Norwegian Getaway Cruise Reviews - Reviews

We got a great price for the cruise. This allowed us to book a Suite for the 1st time. We haven't cruized since Feb 2020. A big plus. I caught Covid on the cruise. A big negative. Many people were coughing heavily by the end of 10 day cruise. Most who are coughing are not wearing masks.

I was not happy at all and also had an issue which wasnt handled properly !!!!!

I don't think I would take another Norwegian cruise. Very disappointed

Great cruise. The embarkation and debarkation do not fun as smoothly as Celebrity Cruises do. It may be something NCL should research and revise. They do not enforce dress codes in the dining rooms like they should.

A mixed bag. Attraction to cruising once was ease of traveling. Now almost as many reasons not to go on a cruise again as there are to go. At some point cuts to services and quality will affect decision to continue cruising. I understand cruise lines are still coming off the effects of pandemic but long term cruisers will eventually say "enough".

Great restaurants, phenomenal entertainment, desserts were average,, entertainment in the Tropicana was too loud could not hear others at our table and adult pool area was very small with 4,000 people on board. Great staff but felt this ship is more geared to servicing the haven (for more $$) and to families with children. Never had a bad cruise, weather can’t be predicted and it was fabulous cruise.

Weather can be an issue in November. Either hot and humid or rainy. One port cancelled due to storms. Pleased with service, food and cabin. Entertainment venues too small for full ship. Theater too loud and annoying flashing lights.

Sad to say this was the worst cruise we have ever taken - and we’ve been on over 20 cruises. The embarkation was slow and confusing. The ship’s design had hundreds of people in the main atrium area with at least 7 different activities going on at the same time. The buffet staff was unprofessional and showed little care for the passengers frequently leaving tables dirty. The communication was terrible - from port information to daily announcements. The balcony floor was covered with paint chips and the walls were filthy. Toilets and phones frequently didn’t work. And the disembarkation was very disorganized with limited explanations on procedures. This was certainly my last NCL cruise. 🤬

Venu is too small did not see many shows venues except theater too small

We enjoyed visiting the many Caribbean Ports and touring a few of the sites. The ship's entertainment was the best. The bartending was great also. We might have enjoyed more excursions at each port but time was very limited for each port call.

Very disappointed from beginning to end. It was apparent that the cruise lacked luster and excitement. Overall boring cruise.

This was the worst cruise on Norwegian line after 4 previous trips with them. Food & entertainment has gone down dramatically. They never pushed jewelry shops on St. Thomas (like Diamonds International) & little time off ship, especially getting dark early. It became very dangerous with stores closing. Some store owners said that they didn’t expect many shoppers considering the time of arrival. I understand that many cruise lines are trying to recover from Covid but that is no excuse for poor food quality & entertainment.

Meh!! It would have been a great cruise if it had not been cold and raining and that combined with rough seas made it quite uncomfortable. When we missed one of the most interesting ports ( Amsterdam ) due to bad weather we ended up spending over 30 hours in a very rough English Channel before returning to Southampton.

The weather was not right for this ship as since most of the days where cold the pool area and the waterfront were useless. The ship felt very crowded because of that reason.

Overall, a very good cruise. The ports could have been better and they need to bring the quality of the food, especially at the buffet, to what it used to be pre-Covid.

Would recommend this as a taste of Europe. Would love to see more like this

The cruise, staff, dining was just great! Excursions were good with only a few issues…

Enjoyed the cruise in spite of the line issues. Needed more time in ports. Need to use professional tenders instead of the super life boats. Could have easily made the Dublin port with professional tenders. I have tendered with much worse waves.

Overall very disappointing and dissatisfied, unfortunately we booked two cruises back to back with NCL, but never after this, all they care is to get your money but not service back, especially the ports letting people out was ridiculously waiting for hours, didn’t open all line’s possible, officers standing and looking at crowd, I had a surgery two months ago, I almost passed out, they just don’t care, not enough personnel for guest services and one person for internet issues for 4000 guests, wasted one day and half to try to solve a problem with the internet, totally ridiculous and disappointing

Great itinerary - horrible management, especially of queues-getting on/off ship and at restaurants even with reservations We are seasoned cruisers (10+) and our fourth (and last) with NCL.
