Suppose your shower had a floor-to-ceiling glass wall that exposed your ablutions to the entire world? Imagine that every time you looked up from shaving you were in a different place.

What if the twice-daily chore of brushing your teeth became a journey into the unknown?

Would you be disoriented or delighted?

We’re guessing it’s the latter for passengers in the two deluxe owner’s suites on Norwegian Getaway, NCL’s newest ship.

Because when they’re not relaxing in their 932-square-foot living quarters or catching a sea breeze on the private wraparound balcony of one of Getaway’s largest and most luxurious staterooms they can retreat to this spacious sanctuary to enjoy an ever-changing Caribbean seascape.

The placement of mirrors and glass make the vista visible from the shower stall, double sinks or at the vanity. But we think its best appreciated with a glass of bubbly in hand while steeping in the whirlpool tub.
