Creator's Key Takeaways

we got to the terminal in New Orleans and the first thing that we thought was this is chaos but actually it really wasn't that bad

the bed is firm it's firm it's it's very firm and I kind of noticed that when I first even took a seat on the bed earlier in the day

the air conditioning doesn't stay on it stays on for about 10 minutes then it turns off and resets back to off

more at Sea more at Sea yes so when we got onto the ship yesterday we went down to the restaurant reservations area

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to the sailaway party early due to limited space on the deck
Bring magnetic hooks for the cabin as walls are metal
Request a mattress topper if the bed is too firm
Use a travel fan if the air conditioning cycles off

YouTube Video Description

Welcome aboard the Norwegian Getaway! ⚓ In this video, we share our first impressions and a sneak peek into our first 24 hours on NCL Getaway cruise ship in 2025. We were one of the first sailings ever to introduce More at Sea, so we share a few insights about the changes at the end of our 24 hour preview. From the moment I stepped on board, I knew we were on a Breakaway-class ship from NCL. Like her "cousin" NCL Encore, the Getaway has many familiar features I love. It was also a great chance to introduce Rocky to a newer cruise ship experience from Norwegian Cruise Line as his first exposure to the brand via NCL Sky was maybe not the best preview... Join us as we explore: ⏰ New Orleans and NCL Getaway Boarding Process 🚢 Our stateroom and NCL Getaway features 🍴 What we ate (our first meal was a surprise!) 🎉 Entertainment highlights So how does Norwegian Getaway compare to Norwegian Encore? Did Rocky's views on Norwegian Cruise Line change in 24 hours? What's NOT included in More at Sea? We answer these and many other questions in our Norwegian Getaway 2025 First Impressions video!
