The Getaway felt really laid-back compared to most of the other cruises I’ve taken.
There’s plenty of space to relax on the Getaway, and I relished the flexibility onboard. Lauren Mack
Norwegian ships operate under the concept of freestyle cruising, so when I took an eight-day cruise aboard the Norwegian Getaway, I had the flexibility to design my vacation on my own terms.
I didn’t have to follow a strict onboard itinerary, adhere to assigned dining times, or worry about any formal dress codes like I’ve had to do on most other cruises. I participated in activities of my choosing and attended any evening entertainment I liked.
The Getaway offered most shows and activities more than once, so I didn’t have FOMO like I’ve had while sailing with Disney Cruise Line and Royal Caribbean Cruises, where my entertainment options were often tied to my dinner plans.
Plus, if I really enjoyed something on the Getaway, like a comedy show, I could go twice.
You can always show up and try to get a seat since many shows are first come, first served. But even though you have the option to wing it, which I did, I recommend planning ahead and booking your seats in advance, especially if watching the shows is really important to you and your cruise is sailing at or near capacity.
