There is a special Kids Aqua Park, devoted to the friends at Nick's from the series Bikini Bottom and a lot of entertainment and special shows from the likes of SpongeBob SquarePants and Dora. You can also bring your kids along, especially when they are into the characters of Nickelodeon. Do not worry about the fact if you can eat som,ewhere aboard, there is the staggering amount of 27 dining options available! Here, you can stroll and/or eat outside on one of the terraces. Of course, the ship also offers The Waterfront, a part of the open promenade that is built like a shoreside boulevard with restaurants, shops and cafe's. This because, in this space, several items from the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles are on display. Here, you can really get into the history of the Grammy's and awe at a jacket worn by the late Michael Jackson, for example. Next to this, there is also another venue aboard devoted to the Grammy Awards, where Norwegian Cruise Line is officialy partnered to. If you do not like that too, you can also see the Tony-award nominated musical 'Legally Blonde'. These shows are very Latin-orientated, mainly because of her homeport in the Caribbean. If you do not like magic stuff, you can also choose for the alternative, a highly energetic show by Burn The Floor. This lounge came in place of the Cirque Dream space aboard her earlier sister Norwegian Breakaway. There is a combination of dining entertainment in a place called the 'Illusionarium' that is specially devoted for magical and illusion shows. Norwegian Getaway has several unique features, of course. The name of the building, that is of course situated at the old Holland America Quay, is a direct link to the Rotterdam of 1959. Two newly created masterpieces together, to the right of course is Norwegian Getaway and to the left is the just finished building 'De Rotterdam', created by world-famous Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas. Le Batard is living and raised in Florida, so he was well chosen for the job and he made a splendid design in my opinion. The hull-art was designed by David Le Batard, nicknamed Lebo (which signature can also be seen on the ship, luckily not in Peter Max's size on her sister). The hull-art that was designed for the ship also incorporated the sunny and watery Caribbean, with the main feature being a mermaid who is holding the sun above the waves. This of course is only her administrative homeport, like her sister Norwegian Breakaway that is homeported yearround in New York, Norwegian Getaway will be homeported yearround in the worlds cruise-capital Miami. She flies the flag of the Bahamas, homeport is Nassau.
Norwegian Getaway has a total of 18 decks and her normal service speed is 21,5 knots. Her total passenger capacity is 4500, based on two-oper-cabin the number given is 3969, and her crew capacity is 1600. The ship measures some 145.655 tons and she is 325,70 meters long, 39,7 meters wide and her draft is 8,30 meters. Sio its exactly what a large cruiseliner should be. Getaway, in accordance to NCL, means 'a place where one escapes for relaxation, vacation etc.'. Out of a selection of 230.000 submitted names for her and her earlier sister, a man named Dennis Hultman from Virginia was the lucky chap whose submitted name was chosen. Norwegian Getaway got her name from a competition called 'Norwegian cruising for names', that was organized by NCL together with the USA Today newspaper. What was affected was of course the building shed and the visitors center, that were both evacuated for safety reasons. Nobody was injured because of it and the delivery date was not affected too. During the building of the ship, a fire broke out at the 5th of march 2013. Almost exactly a year later, on the 2nd of november 2013, the ship was floated out and she was completed in the following months.
She was the youngest sister, following Norwegian Breakaway, the name-giver of the class. Meyers's wharf at Papenburg, northern Germany. On the 30th of october 2012, the keel for the Norwegian Getaway was laid in the large building shed of Jos L. Shie visited the greatest port in Europe twice in a few days time, just after she was delivered to Norwegian Cruise Line. But smaller is in this sense not really important, I guess, the new class is still very, very big.Ībove, Norwegian Getaway gets away from Rotterdam at the 13th of january 2014. As a follow up to the Norwegian Epicof 2010, Norwegian Cruise Line launched a new two-ships class after the order for two sisterships of the former ship came to nothing because of problems between the line and the yard. With a tonnage of 145.000, the new ships were somewhat smaller then the Norwegian Epic, that measures some 10.000 tons more.
