I was on the same cruise as you! This was a trip for my husband's birthday so we were disappointed we didn't get to go the eastern Caribbean but it was still exciting going to the Caribbean at all! We tried to do some research online to see what there was to do in Jamaica and Cozumel since we'd never been before. We didn't end up getting to do a whole lot of research since every minute was costing us $$. Kind of glad we didn't go down to the shore excursion desk.. Too much craziness! The first time I heard grumbling about the port changes was in Falmouth. There was an irate couple, mostly the husband actually, who went on a rant about how he hated Jamaica and how he was going to demand that NCL give him all this stuff for free. We were really glad they changed course though, crew/passenger safety is the #1 priority and going straight into a hurricane is downright dangerous.Maybe I should write a review about the cruise and I can elaborate on my experiences on the ship and in the port. Mostly about the crazy day in Jamaica... Anyway, I loved reading your review and it reminds me of our fun times on the Getaway! Sounds like you and your family had an awesome time! We are hooked on cruising and can't wait to go again!
