Lovinglife11 Posted January 4, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 4, 2018 We are booked on the Epic but are considering switching to the Getaway, has anyone been on these ships for Christmas, any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandmarnnurse Posted January 4, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I’ve been on the Getaway and will be back on her in 3 days. Love that ship! I’ve heard bad comments about Epic’s bathroom set up. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare sid_9169 Posted January 4, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I've been on both, and would choose the Getaway over the Epic any day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brookie848 Posted January 4, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 4, 2018 If you are doing a regular cabin, the Getaway. If you are doing the Haven, I would probably do the Epic. We liked the Epic Haven so much better than the Getaway Haven, though I think the Getaway is the better ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BostonGal35 Posted January 4, 2018 #5 Share Posted January 4, 2018 getaway was our least favorite ship. id pick the Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmbhardy Posted January 5, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The Epic Christmas cruise is quite a bit cheaper than the Getaway. We've sailed on both ships and liked both of them. Given the cost difference, I'd go with the Epic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 5, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 5, 2018 We have sailed on the Getaway 3 times and Epic 7 times. We would pick the Getaway,,, hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We liked the Epic Haven so much better than the Getaway Haven, though I think the Getaway is the better ship. We have a balcony cabin (not crazy about the bathroom setup).

Lovinglife11 Posted January 5, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted January 5, 2018 The Epic Christmas cruise is quite a bit cheaper than the Getaway. We've sailed on both ships and liked both of them. Given the cost difference, I'd go with the Epic. The Epic is definitely the better deal cost wise, but I don't know that it's the better ship. My husband loved the Waterfront area on the Breakaway and that is one reason he'd rather go on the Getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would you pick the Getaway? If you've been on the Epic 7 times, it can't be that bad :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We liked the Waterfront and would miss that if we sail on the Epic. Plus, I don't want to sail into Orlando in order to get to the Epic. At least, not without lots of alcohol and/or noise cancelling head phones. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lennydebbie Posted January 7, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I’ve been on the Getaway and will be back on her in 3 days. Love that ship! I’ve heard bad comments about Epic’s bathroom set up. Sent from my iPhone using Forums We just sailed on the Epic the week before Christmas. Have never sailed with NCL before. We had a balcony cabin. Even though the bathroom was a funky set up it was not a big deal for us. But there was just the 2 of us and we’re married. The lighting in the cabin is amazing and there’s TONS of storage. We didn’t care for the content of the complimentary shows, but they were very well done. We absolutely LOVED our time on the Epic. There was so much to do if you wanted. Our itinerary also had 3 days at sea which we thoroughly enjoyed! Some people complained about the pool deck area. It wasn’t ideal but it wasn’t horrible. The pools aren’t very large for the size of the ship. We honestly didn’t use the pools much anyway so we didn’t care. Let us know what you decide!

dans0202 Posted January 7, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I have done the Epic 3 times at Christmas and the Getaway 2 times the same week. Don't think I would do the Epic again for the simple reason that I found traveling out of Port Canaveral to be a disaster. The Getaway is a much nicaer ship in my opinion and I love the waterfront on deck 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
