Creator's Key Takeaways

We have spent the last week on board and we have experienced everything the drinks the food the entertainment

The spaghetti Pesca was honestly one of the best dinner items I have had in a long time

The ice glasses that they gave us there was a selection of four different drinks you could get three of them alcoholic such a cool space

We hated how this was hosted we went back to the restaurant where it was hosted in we got to see some of the officers as we entered and then we were served different cheeses saltine crackers

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

We kicked off 2025 on board Norwegian Getaway! We wanted to check out NCL's new More at Sea inclusions program and so we booked the first sailing of the year on NCL Getaway. In the full review, we share everything that we loved, some things that we didn't love, and a couple of big things that we hated about our time on board. The Norwegian Getaway is a Breakaway-class ship from Norwegian. She launched in 2013 and just underwent drydock last year in 2024. We checked out the food, drinks, entertainment, and all of the public spaces across the ship so that we could share our complete thoughts on the ship. The NCL Getaway is a "little sister" to the Norwegian Encore which I sailed solo back in October of 2023. After a couple Breakaway-class ships, Norwegian made some serious design changes and launched the Breakaway Plus-class of cruise ships. While similar in many ways, there are some BIG changes. Check out our Norwegian Encore full review to see our complete thoughts on the ship. https://youtu.be/XLBGo6UFTps We're also working on a comparative video between Breakaway and Breakaway Plus to help you decide on the right ship for you. Have you sailed on Norwegian Getaway? What did you think about the ship? Let us know in the comments below! And, as always, if you have any questions or thoughts from the review, post those in the comments, too!
