Norwegian Getaway Adventure
This mini cruise was especially for travel agents across Europe to experience what cruising was like during and post Covid and was an introduction to Norwegian Cruise Line's return to cruise programme. We experienced all the health & safety protocols from the moment we arrived at the cruise port to when we returned. Initially I did feel a little apprehensive about travelling as we come out of a pandemic however as I was fully vaccinated and all the protocols that were required to travel with both the airline and the cruise company, I must say I felt very comfortable and at ease travelling.
I flew from Dublin to Ciampino Airport Italy and after arriving, a 1 hour 15 minutes transfer took us to Civitavecchia Cruise Port where our ship Norwegian Getaway was waiting us. Once we checked in, we were free to go to our balcony cabin or explore the ship. We spent 4 nights at sea after departing Civitavecchia with a night at sea, a stop off at Palma, Majorca to explore this beautiful city, another night at sea and back again to Civitavecchia for our flight home.
Norwegian Getaway has some magnificent amenities to offer, complimented with unforgettable destinations such as the countries across the Mediterranean. The Waterfront, an innovative, industry-first open-air promenade designed to connect guests with the ocean gives you some spectacular views while you dine in one of the 20 dining options on board including speciality dining. There is lots to keep you occupied while on board for everyone of all ages from experiencing the thrill of five water slides, and three levels of action-packed activities in the sports complex. The excitement and entertainment continue with Broadway musical Million Dollar Quartet which I must say was a fantastic show along with the many music and comedy shows throughout the ship.
This ship with its Miami influence was built for socialising, with most of the action taking place around 678 Ocean Place, the three-deck open space around which many of Getaway's bars are located. Have dinner in Le Bistro on Deck 6, catch a Second City improv comedy show across the way at Headliners, and then climb the stairs to hit the Casino on Deck 7 before finishing the night at Sugarcane Mojito Bar on Deck 8 without missing a beat.
If you fancy some seclusion or a break from other guests, the Vibe Beach Club and the Thermal Suite spa lounge provide sanctuary and are the places to go to, but you pay an additional fee for the privilege. If you are looking for some luxury why not book a room in the Haven, Norwegian's ship-within-a-ship enclave, which has a small pool, restaurant, and lounge exclusively for Haven suite residents.
I would highly recommend a cruise holiday with Norwegian Cruise Lines for both couples and families alike. A cruise holiday on board a Norwegian Cruise will allow you to explore the white sand beaches and deep-blue waters on a Mediterranean or Caribbean Cruise, explore history up close in Europe, or just relax at sea on a Transatlantic cruise. There is so much to see and do that you would be pressed to do everything during your trip.
