Thanks again for your wealth of knowledge.

Extremely helpful.

 

$12.50 p/p one way' date=' total cost $50... :eek: Ouch!

I'm thinking EB is the way ago and absolutely worth it, especially when I can not check-in on line and flights will be full...FLL is a busy hub- intensive cruise port - 7 ships. Plus, we have connecting flights in Atlanta (another busy airport).

Now I just have to convince my DH :rolleyes:;)[/quote']

 

Hello, if possible instead of EB, you can ask a family member or a friend to check you all in online on their computer or phone (if their internet/data is pretty fast) with your confirmation number when it hits the 24 hour early mark. Then you can just go to the airport and print out your boarding passes without the worry.

 

Purchasing EB requires you to purchase it for everyone on the reservation. If you plan on booking Southwest again in the future and you do want to do EB, I suggest having two separate flight reservations. One for one person and the other for the rest of the group. Then for that one person reservation, they can do the EB, go in early and save seats for the others. I see people do that all of the time...saving seats.

Thanks for the responses! We'll probably do the late show and keep the earlier evening hours for sailaway and exploring.

 

I had no idea you could eat at more than one specialty restaurant each evening with the UDP. Thanks for info!!

Yes, like the others said. You can dine in more than one specialty per night. And if you book the restaurants via website, you can reserve as long as there are two hour spaces between your restaurants and shows. Appetizers in one, watch a show or activity, and then a main course/dessert in another. Get your money's worth and double it... Enjoy the experience.

Hello! New to NCL, excited to be cruising on Getaway Feb 2015! Doing the Ultimate Dining Package which includes the Illusionarium show (on Embarkation day only). Two show choices: 5:30 PM and 8:45 PM. Leaning towards 8:45. Anyone have any thoughts on which show you would attend? Any tips? We're not in a suite or Haven, if that matters...

Since you have the UDP, my suggestion would be to book a later show so that you can dine in one of the specialty restaurants first. The Illusionarium is a dinner and show but the food is nothing to write home about. There are no choices. Everyone is given the same items and I thought the food was so so.
