Creator's Key Takeaways

I just spent 7 days on the NCL Getaway, and today I'm going to help you decide if this ship is right for you.

Overall, food on the Getaway can be sort of a coin flip. The included dining is just okay, but the specialty restaurants are excellent.

The service on the ship was outstanding. The crew went above and beyond in every area.

I really enjoyed my week on the ship, and I absolutely will be sailing her again.

βœ“Budget for specialty dining if you want the best food experience.

It's part of the Breakaway class, carrying nearly 4,000 passengers with over 28 dining options, a sports complex, and the famous Illusionarium show.

From the dining and entertainment to the ship design, crew service, and overall vibe after its refurbishment.
