Creator's Key Takeaways

I think they intentionally make the free food or the complimentary food options okay because they want you to go to their specialty dining areas.

I don't think I have very high expectations and they were definitely exceeded my expectations were definitely exceeded by that. It was kind of a Broadway style show.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you have trouble with the Norwegian app, contact your travel agent as soon as possible to get it resolved.
On embarkation day, head to the card room or library near the Illusionarium to find a quiet place to wait.
If you want a quieter environment, head down to the waterfront area.

YouTube Video Description

We tried Norwegian Cruise Line for the first time — and WOW… it was a very different cruise experience than we expected! #norwegiangetaway #nclcruise #norwegiancruiseline In this video, we share our first impressions of the **Norwegian Getaway** and what it was actually like sailing with NCL for the first time. From our embarkation experience to the food, entertainment, crowds, and overall atmosphere onboard, we're taking an honest look at what we loved, what surprised us, and what didn't work for us. *Watch Next* https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLALhKMnYM7hA The Getaway was definitely a lively ship, and our sailing had a very strong party atmosphere. We also found ourselves dealing with some serious crowds, had a less-than-great embarkation experience, and weren't particularly impressed with much of the food. But was it all bad? Not at all. We're sharing our honest first impressions so you can get a better idea of what to expect if you're considering a **Norwegian Getaway cruise** or trying **NCL for the first time**.
