This week we present a series of
inside views of Norwegian Getaway by people connected to the ship.
While a cruise ship's facilities are certainly an important part of
the cruise experience, the people who work aboard give the ship its
soul. So one of the ways Beyondships seeks to give a feel for the
various cruise ships it covers is by presenting interviews with the
people who run the ships.
Captain Tommy Stensrud is an
experienced mariner who is in overall command of Norwegian Getaway.
So we turned to him for an assessment of the nautical qualities of
Getaway as well as the big picture view of what the ship is all
about. http://www.beyondships2.com/norwegian-getaway-captain.html
Hotel Director Sean Wurmhoeringer is
in charge of everything that directly impacts the cruise experience
including the food, the beverages, the entertainment and the
accommodations. He is a veteran hotelier who has brought many cruise
ships into service. We spoke with him about the process of breathing
life into the ship as she entered service.

Artist David LEBO Le Batard painted
the lively hull art that adorns Getaway. He speaks about the
concepts that underlie his painting.

Viewers of the popular television show
“Cake Boss” are familiar with master baker Buddy Valastro. Mr.
Valastro talks about his relationship with Norwegian Cruise Line and
about opening a branch of Carlo's Bakery at sea.

Another interview that we did on
Getaway was with Norwegian's CEO Kevin Sheehan. While not specific
to Getaway, Mr. Sheehan's remarks about Norwegian Cruise Line place
its latest ship in perspective.
