This splash zone is pirate themed, and offers a great place for parents to take their kids on a day at sea! This area also has shallow pools for children to play in. “Feel the rush of The Whip, two racing, side-by-side twister slides that are wet and wild. Or try the fun family slide, if that’s more your speed. Or take a break from the action and relax in a lounger alongside the pool,” says Norwegian Cruise Line about this area of the Getaway. Passengers can be assured that there is plenty to do onboard, and that Sea Days will be occupied by fun and exciting activities at every turn.
Sugarcane Mojito Bar
The third main dining room is the largest, and offers the most seating. This space also features a large dance floor and stage where it appears there is sometimes entertainment during meals. We ate dinner here on the 6th day of our sailing, and there was music playing overhead, but no live entertainment during the meal. Just as with Savor and Taste, the menu in The Tropicana Room has the same food on offer as the other main dining rooms. I have to say, the Norwegian Getaway really impressed me as far as food and dining goes.
Shanghai’s Noodle Bar
The crew member assigned to open up the comedy show and introduce the main act was himself a professional comedian. And instead of doing a one-minute introduction and then getting off the stage, he did a good 10 minute comedy routine to open up the show and warm up the crowd. At the first comedy show we attended, I thought he was the main act! Imagine my surprise after ten minutes or so when he introduced the main act and headed off the stage. I thought it was a really great way to get the show started.
Onboard Shopping
In the (very unlikely) event the ship hits some rough seas, you don't want water sloshing out of the tub and in to your cabin. The Norwegian Getaway has an an aqua park featuring five multi-story water slides, two swimming pools (one for adults only), and four hot tubs. Something to note, the crew members did seem the most stressed during embarkation and disembarkation day. This makes sense as these are very busy days for the crew.
It's a private sundeck with a swimming pool, two Jacuzzis, and lots of comfortable loungers and day beds. I have to start by saying that the Norwegian Getaway has got some amazing features that make it stand out as one of the best cruise ships in the world, in my opinion. The Norwegian Getaway cruise ship also offered some paid shows including Wine Lovers the musical & the Illusionarium Magic Show.
On Carnival, they think comedy is best presented in a small comedy club. I've seen John Heald, Carnival's Senior Cruise Director, discuss this subject in his blog. The small comedy clubs on Carnival always fill up and it becomes impossible to get a seat. Guests complain that the shows should be held in the main theater, so that there would be ample seating. But on Carnival, their philosophy is that a comedian gives a better performance in a small room that's literally standing room only.
This space offers plenty of comfortable lounge chairs to take in the relaxing and beautiful ocean views. Guests can tour the Thermal Spa on the first day of their cruise for free. After the first day, guests must purchase an access pass to the Thermal Spa, on our voyage this pass was a $300 additional charge. The access pass once purchased, is valid for the entirety of the sailing.

Each room is accompanied with a spacious balcony to enjoy private ocean views. Norwegian Cruise Line offers its guests several types of staterooms onboard their vessels. There are staterooms for nearly every taste and budget onboard, and the Norwegian Getaway is no different.
And just a taste of the fun that would unfold during the show ahead. The other strange thing about Carnival, as far as waterslides are concerned, is how they took one of only two ships with a vertical-drop slide and sent it to Australia. So, as far as us Americans are concerned, there's only one remaining Carnival ship with a decent waterslide on it.
Each night of the cruise, stateroom stewards deliver the ‘Freestyle Daily’, the daily itinerary to each stateroom onboard. These pamphlets are important, as they tell guests in detail, what activities will be hosted onboard, and their locations and times for the following day. Located on Deck 15 through Deck 17, the Aqua Park offers both relaxation and thrill to passengers. In this area, guests can find multiple swimming pools, hot tubs, and multi-level water slides. NCL currently boasts the fastest water slide at sea, the Free Fall.
Personally, I love not having to plan when I am going to eat. The Norwegian Getaway offers guests a wonderful vacation. Full of endless possibilities for activities, entertainment, and relaxation.
To check on the latest requirements to sail with NCL look here. After locating our ship, we needed to park our car, because on this trip we chose to drive to Port Canaveral. At the cruise port, there is plenty of parking, both covered and uncovered. Currently parking at this terminal costs $18 per day. If you are driving to Port Canaveral, remember to factor in this cost to your cruise trip budget. Ahead of time, we were not told which terminal the Getaway would be docked at.
