Just returned from a NCL Cruise on The Getaway. NCL has really gone downhill. The food was mediocre at best in the dining rooms and awful at the buffet. E did enjoy the teppanyaki restaurant though. NCL charges additional taxes on drinks etc on day 1 of the cruise...this is outrageous as we paid quite a bit for the allinclusive drink package. Although, not an adult only cruise, there were areas like the adult only hot tubs and the casino bar..no one stopped children from running wild in these areas. The wait staff and the bartenders all had an attitude problem and acted as if they were doing us a favor by waiting on us. Sadky, we use to love NCL but will definitely not return

Best vacation we ever had. Never walked around NY before, so I was blown away with infrastructure and people in general were very polite and helpful.

The mini cruise to see the Statue of Liberty was very exciting, knowledgeable and relaxing. The 50 minutes tour was perfect time. The weather was great and I took lots of pictures. The tour guide explained the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridge The World Trade Center and other surrounding buildings. We passed Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty which was very pleasant see. I recommend this mini cruise.
