Look at the terms and conditions. The only limitation is one entree. Servers will try to tell you that you get one appetizer and one dessert, but if you look at/print out the terms and conditions it spells out the limitations. We always bring a print out with us on the cruise just in case.

In the past, they have had diet Sierra Mist in cans, but those are difficult to come by. So difficult, in fact, that we had all of them in our DOS on the Dawn a few years ago. Halfway through the week my husband would ask for one at a bar and they didn't have any. We ended up bringing the ones from our cabin. There is a possible solution here, but it is not the simplest thing to do. You can call the special needs department and let them know you need sugar free ginger ale because you are a diabetic (which is true for me) that gets seasick (also true). If they grant you a liquid exemption you are able to carry on what you'd like. Of course, this is once you fight security about it. 😁 We did this for several cruises. It's not ideal, but it is something to consider.

On a Breakaway review it was mentioned that mini golf was removed to expand the ropes course. I'm assuming the same thing was done on the Getaway.

So glad to see you back and reviewing. I was actually wondering about you a few days ago...thinking about the "regular" reviewers here that I hadn't seen in a while. I'm looking forward to your trip report.

We've always used our OBC for Cruise Next. I'm assuming that it is not refundable -- it is from NCL. We've had $600 in OBC for our last five or so bookings. It just magically appears when we book a cruise. That's often what we end up spending at least some of it on -- it depends how much we spend in the spa. To the OP -- spa is a good way to spend a chunk of change. Another spend is a picture package. We did this once and truthfully got some great photos from it. You can also spend little bits of it by purchasing the a la carte food/drinks (Starbucks, ice cream, etc.).

I always print out the terms and conditions of the dining package from the website and take those with me just in case. You will occasionally get server that tell you 1/1/1, but according to the T&C, that the only limit is one entree (as KeithJenner pointed out).
