p&lcruisers

We're were on the Getaway in March and we had a great time. Peak hours can get crowded.  When school is off it can get crazy. Getaway was my favorite ship.  Go and have fun ! 

I was on the Getaway this month. They had Vueve in the atrium bar. We had the premium plus package.  You could get as many glasses during the day. You could get bottles at dinner. We had 2 bottles. My husband and I could each get one. Try the Pommery Rose. That was available only in the restaurants. 

We were on the Getaway on March 10. We could pick 4 items each.  We had 4 oysters, 4 clams. The calamari was in a little  dish. I have pictures  I can post.

We were on the Getaway.  I think we were just early into port. We were going slow all night.

I love how people are complaining about their complimentary sparkling wine. Yeah, it isn’t very good, but come on, it’s a little bubbly for sailaway courtesy of the cruise line, and it’s better than what they used to give you—NOTHING.

 

Pop the cork and enjoy, you’re on vacation.

I agree

We were on the Feb 24th sailing. I would give the ship a 9. The only bad part was the rough sea. The cruise line can not control the weather, but it can control how it handles communicating with the passengers . I don't think the Captain kept us up to date on the storms. We had a letter that said tune into channel 22 for update, Nothing was ever put on the channel.

I am booked with a group. I have the same perks. On the NCL site they are still asking us to prepay tips as well. I think you are ok. Enjoy your vacation. Don't worry.

They have coffee, tea and pastries set up outside Maltings. It is outside on the Waterfront.

Hi ! I am on the same sailing. I got Euros for Martinique. Leslie

I just realized you will have them. LOL

O'Sheehans is open. It is on the same deck you board on. It is not usually really busy,

I'm fully paid up and 89 days to go, have made my dining reservations but when i try and book the spa pass it says Please book once onboard. Pre-bookings not accepted.

 

This would be fine but another person on my roll call has booked their spa passes already online

 

any idea why they can and I can't?? I am in UK

I am booked on the same cruise. I just looked and I can not book it.

I have to agree with everyone. We would just like some communication from NCL. I understand they are having problems securing ports, just tell us. Don't send an email saying we will hear from us within two weeks.

We used our SDP and a small upcharge to eat at Ocean Blue. You can order as much as you want from the Raw Bar menu while in the Ocean Blue. The food was amazing there. Do not miss it.

You do not pay sales tax in Bermuda.

Where on the Breakaway can you smoke a cigar?

 

Don

My husband smokes. He could smoke outside the cigar lounge. Which is right outside Maltings. He could also smoke cigars at Spice H2O. There were tables by the bar for him to smoke. Have fun on your cruise. Leslie

I set up a slot pull also. I contacted the Casino manager once we were at sea. One thing I am not sure if a lot of people know, if you hit big, the person that pulled gets the W-2.

We just booked a group . For every 8 cabins you get one fare free. That fare can be divided to the group.

They put a stop to this. You used to be able to smoke cigars in Vibe also, but no more.

 

The only place now is the cigar lounge and the small seating area just outside of the cigar lounge. Supposedly you cannot even sit at the adjacent outside bar with a cigar.

That must be really new. We sailed three weeks ago.

You can also smoke by the tables in Spice H2O. My husband smoked there as well as outside the cigar bar.

I bought one last week. My TA just needed my Lattitudes number to use it

Go to Prime Meridian and ask for Edguardo (Eddy). He made our cruise experience special. Leslie

I just got off the ship on Sunday as well. My experience on the ship was great. The food and service were great. The ship is clean and beautiful. Anyone thinking of going should just go...and enjoy it !!!

Q&A and followup:

 

MARAPRINCE - No, the 3 specials were complimentary with no extra charges or fees that we know of @ OSH. Enjoy - had the prime ribs, roast beef & beef tenderloin in the MDR (3 different nights) and they're fine.

 

Grilled reuben sandwich, Cajun grouper sandwich and Fish & Chips were all good, served hot (not just "warm") - as were the breaded chicken wings, BBQ sauce served on the side as requested.

 

We did overheard the crew telling pax trying to order takeout at OSH that it's not allowed (again ??) not sure if that's another policy change or whatever, maybe those sailing soon on BA can go "explore" - there's enough food on the ship everywhere, unless one is seasick or confined to the stateroom, just make a trip to one of the venue. Light snack is available upstairs in the buffet from 9:30 PM to 11:30 PM, I took a plate back one night.

 

Boned-in Angus Beef Ribeye (18 oz.) had a $20.99 surcharge + 18% in the MDR, also, Surf & Turf (8 oz. Filet Mignon & 1/2 Maine lobster) or Whole Maine lobster, steamed 1.5 to 1.75 lb) both @ $24.99 + 18% ... didn't noticed anyone near us ordering them as we ate in Manhattan and also Taste/Savor.

 

SailBreakaway - we must've missed the runners as we thought everyone was onboard, the last stragglers that lucky got on surely took their sweet time as if they're on a leisurely walk. Longshoremen in orange safety vests drove up right after them & began releasing the ropes & before we knew/felt anything, ship was going/sliding sideway with the thrusters fully on. We didn't sample the OSH Specials, figured the line & wait to get in would be huge ... last year, they had the lamb also (ones in the MDR were just fine)

 

p&lcruisers - we boarded via AFT gangway early as VIP/CAS/Platinum around 11:20 am - took about 10 minutes to actually get onto Deck 7, I didn't noticed the "pots of gold" on the carpet at the elevators but "HazMat" was on scene already doing environmental duties as we walked past. We dropped off our carry-ons, "hello" to our RS Joao before walking back to Savor for lunch, a # of fellow guests were already seated & waiting for the crew to start the service at 12 noon. The tugboat & fueling barge were still portside. Got our iConcierge activated & book LeBistro for 4 @ 6 PM with the App.

 

As for the "possible" changeover of Uptown Grill to Margaritaville, crew/staff working there had no ideas whatsoever and if senior officers onboard knew, they weren't sharing with the rank-n-file in the trenches.

 

julescruisin - yes, DW has her favorite machines, mostly the 4-in-1; and, you can select & play different games on the screen with a single "spin" on the button, also simple to switch from 1 cent to 2 cents to 5 cents, etc. There're lots of "serious" slot players betting the max or close to max play, and we saw hand pays by the attendants nightly ... with the impressions that the pay table were "loosen" up somewhat, until the last 2 or 3 days. But, we managed to recover some of our investments ... still, we left with our contributions onboard and it was all fun & enjoyable, all good & fine.

We were group 2 to get on the ship. We laughed (after clean up) Everyone wanted to go with my husband to the Casino. We can now tell everyone "Stepping in sh##" does not mean good luck. We lost in the casino.

I want to let everyone know our experience on the ship was exceptional. The service was very good. We have been on many cruises and this was the best. We booked for our next cruise today.

There's a service animal onboard, a bit of accidental poo-poo on deck 7 Aft to be cleaned. Lunch is good, a bit slow, coffee & dessert now, time for a quick nap. No cellular signal with Sprint inside Savor but T Mobile 4G LTE is good.
