Hey Wang Posted March 10, 2014 #326 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Thanks for your help Ashley. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clem Kadiddlehopper Posted March 10, 2014 #327 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Hmmm...I wonder if you could call down to the front desk from your cabin instead of standing in line. The line also might not be too bad if you go on the first day when everyone else is having lunch. Side note: I see you're a Flyers fan. Did you catch the game today? It was a good one! I have arranged for ADA assistance to embark/disembark. That combined with the fact that we will arrive at the port by 10:00 or so has me feeling a lot more comfortable about things... Either way, we will have a fantastic cruise... GO FLYERS! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Wang Posted March 10, 2014 #330 Share Posted March 10, 2014 (edited) Does anybody know what side of the ship the fireworks are shot off of on the Getaway? Which side is the best view from a balcony room? Thanks Edited March 10, 2014 by Hey Wang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO FLYERS! :) Clem, you will probably be able to board first, even before group 1. On our Getaway cruise in February, our DS had a hairline fracture of the leg and was using crutches. He and his wife were seated near the doors to the boarding ramp with others who had a mobility impairment. We were all allowed to board a few minutes before they called group 1, so you have an excellent chance to hoof it to Guest Services to get your pass.

There will be three of us in the group. I will most likely have my son go to the GSD and get the Vibe passes. I really want to make this a special cruise for my wife. She was recently diagnosed with Huntington's Disease and this may well be our last family event before she can't do things like this any more.

KonaKenny Posted March 10, 2014 #334 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Do you happen to know if the fireworks display is directed more towards the port or starboard side of the ship? Also, which side provides the greatest scenic viewing while under way (port or starboard)? Mahalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonaKenny Posted March 10, 2014 #335 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Awesome photos and feedback on the Humidor cigar lounge. Mahalo. Can you let me know if they allow cigarette smoking in the cigar lounge (I hope not...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpecorari Posted March 12, 2014 #341 Share Posted March 12, 2014 When I was on the Breakaway there were not a table and chairs in the cabins, Balcony or Mini suites. This was a little strange for us when we ordered room service and was the only NCL cruise ship that this was the case. Anyone know if the Getaway has put a little table and two chairs in the cabin? It sure does make eating our room service food easier! Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabins that are balcony or higher will have two chairs and a table outside, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a table, I guess you could use the balcony table (really tiny) and the stool under the desk.

craig-n-carol Posted March 26, 2014 #348 Share Posted March 26, 2014 How much in USD is authorized on your credit card for the Getaway to secure your onboard account? For my past sailings it has been $300 on other ships in the fleet. I am just curious to know if it is the same on the Getaway. I have a fairly large amount of pre purchased OBC certificates for my May 31st sailing, and will probably not exceed what I've already purchased.

Winchester Ranger Posted March 26, 2014 #349 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) There's also a TV and a cigar case in the corner, near the door that leads out into the Sunset Bar. Fun note: The man sitting at the table is David Le Batard, the artist who created Getaway's hull design. He was definitely smoking something when he designed that hull art - but it was no cigar.....

angelamarie81 Posted March 30, 2014 #350 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Is the Ultimate Beverage Package available on the Getaway? We purchased this package when we were on the Epic and it was worth every penny for us ... I'd like to make sure it's going to be available in October when we board the Getaway :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
