Jenjer Posted December 5, 2013 #129 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just booked her for May 31 sailing. So looking forward to it. I was surprised the prices were so reasonable. Since we did Allure last year we wanted something new and you can not get newer than The Getaway. Any idea about the menus and prices for the specialty dinning options?

The only comment is I booked a B6 for the 1/16 TA. No better suite in my opinion. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boeckli Posted December 6, 2013 #134 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) Getaway left Bremerhaven on Thursday and is currently riding out the massive storm "Xaver" in the North Sea. As Bremerhaven was expecting very high tides, it was apparently not deemed safe for the ship to remain docked, so they took her out to sea (with around 600 crew and 200 workers from the shipyard). See story in German newspaper http://www.nwzonline.de/wirtschaft/weser-ems/kreuzfahrtschiff-fluechtet-vor-orkantief_a_10,4,3631576368.html Edited December 6, 2013 by boeckli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on your 2-22 sailing, but in an M6. Maybe you'll be looking down onto our balcony:). Can't wait till the first live reports and pictures start coming in!

david_sobe Posted December 6, 2013 #137 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am excited to see the pictures that (hopefully) will be coming out soon. While Breakaway and Getaway are sister ships, it appears there are going to be dramatic differences in colors, theme restaurants, etc. Plus the addition of the Grammy experience and magic show. I think while the structures of the ships will be almost identical, it will be a difference to see New York vs Miami. Other sister ships like Jewel and Pearl had almost identical color choices for décor, rugs, art, etc. So I am looking forward to dissect each tiny detail. (hey give me a break, I have to have something to do and look forward to until 2015) :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's just too, too slow, I'll have them teed up to post while we wait at Newark on the 26th. I'm also thinking there will be a lot of pics posted before we even board 1/16…I hope!:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medtech2 Posted December 26, 2013 Author #143 Share Posted December 26, 2013 ---- Prices have dropped so that we have moved from an inside IC to a bumpout balcony BD for the same price... I was very surprised to see the bumpouts not already taken! Now not sure if we will get Spa passes, which was the original plan with the inside, since they have priced them so high...if they would only go back to giving a couple's discount, hint, hint... I saw that the ship rode out a storm? Anyone know how it went? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLE_1 Posted December 26, 2013 #148 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Hi Everyone! This will be our first cruise with Norweigian. My first question is for past Norwegian cruisers and your experience with their debarkation process. First, is it usually timely? The itinerary shows the ship arrives back in Miami at 8 a.m., and debarkation takes place within 2 hours. Next, we're looking at flights out of Fort Lauderdale and would like advice on the earliest time we can book. Any help you can provide would be most appreciated. Thanks, Barb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Barb Hi Barb I would not book any flight from FTL earlier than noon. FTL airport is about 45 minutes from the port of Miami. That is with NO traffic. So allow some time for issues with traffic or unnecessary delays in disembarkation. The ideal flight would be 1pm or 1:30. I have sailed Epic but both times in a suite with priority disembarkation. So I cant comment on how fast the entire ship is empty. But I imagine everyone is off within 2 hours. Allow yourself another 30 minutes to get a cab once off the ship. Sometimes there is a long line to fetch a cab at the port. Edited December 27, 2013 by david_sobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruisewoman79 Posted December 27, 2013 #150 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I agree! And Saturday departures out of FLL are many with long lines for checkin and security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
