gatorchinsky Posted March 31, 2022 #1 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Now that the Getaway’s Baltic cruises have been cancelled and she will be cruising the Caribbean from PC, I was just looking at a fall cruise and noticed that the prices were very reasonable. Has anyone else decided to take advantage and cruise the Getaway this fall? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biffire Posted March 31, 2022 #2 Share Posted March 31, 2022 We are going in July, prices seemed reasonable. By the time we fly from NY, pay for transfers from Orlando to Cape Canaveral, get a hotel room the night before, it is adding up higher than we would like. I think there is a lot of demand right now and predict lots of high prices for some time. I usually try to avoid Hurricane season (June to November) but saw the low prices and jumped on it. It will be interesting to see the occupancy level, and if the prices fluctuate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andilynnwright Posted April 1, 2022 #3 Share Posted April 1, 2022 We are going for my 50th birthday in October. We switched from Canada on the Breakaway and saved over $500 for same everything. Looking forward to a warm vacation instead of cold. I think the entertainment is better on the Getaway and it has the Mojito Bar. Should be an awesome trip! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle tavern Posted April 1, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 1, 2022 We moved our July cruise on Breakaway out of Miami to Getaway out of PC as PC is much closer to where we live. We also saved over $800 on the same room. We are 113 days out but no excursions are listed and cannot book dining yet. Since they just moved the ship, I'm assuming excursions well eventually show up and possibly be able to book dining ahead at some point. If not no biggie, we don't usually do excursions (I do want a villa in GSC lol) and I'm sure it will be no trouble making dining reservations once on the ship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatorchinsky Posted April 1, 2022 Author #5 Share Posted April 1, 2022 OP here. We just switched our February 2023 Escape cruise to the Getaway 9 night at the end of September. Price was about the same and we get an extra 2 days. As mentioned above we did notice that no shore excursions are available yet. I’m sure they will start showing up soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dederee Posted April 4, 2022 #6 Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Booked the Getaway today for Bermuda 9/22/22, 5 days. Tremendous value. Looking forward to it after such a long break from cruising. My app is telling me booking for restaurants and excursions is available in May.

According to the Bermuda cruise ship schedule, it shows the Getaway doing various NYC to Bermuda cruises between 8/27 and 9/22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give NCL some time to implement new Bermuda itineraries on site for Aug & Sept. They need to iron out the details ... let's hope Getaway will head straight to Bermuda without stopping in VA. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schevel Posted April 7, 2022 #12 Share Posted April 7, 2022 We just booked the Getaway for the week of 10/8 a few weeks ago. I thought the pricing with all of the perks including paid gratuities was a great deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mking8288 Posted April 7, 2022 #14 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I am thinking - early September thru mid/late October ... NYC and the odds of running to Nor-Easter & hurricane aren't too terrible, not extreme high but not exactly low either. Insured it well and enjoy the trip's ride. If the price is right, we'll get back on the Getaway ourselves too, the crew/staff & officers are great - by then, the ones we've met last week will be back from vacations & leaves for home - unless they are moving to a different ships.

silverlady59 Posted May 2, 2022 #15 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Are the Baltic cruises cancelled? I am booked on the Getaway on the May 27th cruise and haven't heard of any cancellations. I'm from the UK so perhaps that's the difference but I doubt it. I know that the price that I paid is now on offer for less than 50% less. I carried the cruise over from 2021 due to the pandemic cancellations. Feedback would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milolii Posted May 2, 2022 #16 Share Posted May 2, 2022 The Getaway is now scheduled to head back to the US in June. May 27 appears to be a go. Here is the roll call for your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare wolft927 Posted May 2, 2022 #17 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I also took advantage, was originally on the Encore out of Miami in December, but switched to the Getaway for the 9 day September 29th for the same price. We love the Breakaway class ships. We have been lucky enough to win Haven Bids the past 2 cruises, hoping three in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mira28 Posted May 2, 2022 #18 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I booked the 10 day Bermuda/Bahamas cruise leaving on September 12th from NYC. So exciting! Very reasonable price, and I love that they have rooms for solo travelers. Have been on the Breakaway and the Bliss; last cruise was March 8-15th 2020! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't that one in the latitudes special too? We'll be able to take a 10 day cruise someday 😀🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbeamer Posted May 23, 2022 #20 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I booked Getaway 14 day transatlantic NYC to London 2024…..I’m hoping the test for air travel back to US is gone by then. A transatlantic is on my bucket list. This is a nice itinerary with Paris and Brussels included. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
