Getaway fireworks

[Beaver1975]

Are the Getaway's fireworks visible from the starboard side aft balconies?

[Davechipp74]

I've seen it mentioned in a few reviews for the Getaway, and the Breakaway that people were able to watch the fireworks from their balcony.

It's port side on the breakaway.

 

Presume the Getaway is the same.

I was on 12, way back and watched them from port side.

How bout from the actual aft balcony? where is the best place to see the fireworks?

[finnie14]

On the getaway we watched the fireworks from cagneys 8th floor balcony. They had wicker sofa chairs that one of the employees told us to bring them closer to the balcony rail to be able to enjoy the show. It was great and we saw them front and center.i was pleasantly surprised that there were roughly 10-15 ppl there.

As other have said the fireworks are port side. We had aft cabin 9918 and could see part of them by turning and leaning lol!

This sounds promising. There are four of us in a row on deck nine port side midships on the Getaway 2/21. Sounds like a fireworks party is in order!

They are launched to the port side as everyone has stated. They are shot from an area just behind the control booth for Spice H2O so I imagine an aft facing balcony would have issues seeing them, especially if you're center or starboard.

 

Xmas week we just walked up to the deck above the pool and watched them then made out way to Spice.

Just on the Getaway last week. We had the angled balcony 10296 & the shot them off the top deck directly above us on the port side.

[tarps14]

Can somebody tell us what day of the week it was? We're on the Getaway next week.

Musclengrace, We are also sailing on Feb 21st and plan to watch the fireworks outside of Cagneys. We watched them last October from Spice and the crowds and music were much for my wife:eek: but I liked it;) Pink

We have a dinner reservation at 8:45 at Illusionarium on St. Maarten night. Does anyone know how long that dinner show is? Will we miss the Fireworks? Didn't realize that was Fireworks night when we booked it.

[Pappion]

The fireworks were on St Maarten night as others have said and we could see them from our aft balcony perfectly fine but we were port side, 11310.

I had a port side balcony. The fireworks are usually done off the port side but it depends on wind conditions, so it's not a definite. When I asked my cabin steward about the fireworks he said that if conditions were good I would be able to view them from my port balcony. So here is the outcome:

Cabin #9288 right near the aft elevators. This was the Breakaway, by the way, and not the Getaway. But I believe they are identical. They always played pranks on their teachers. LOL

LOL

 

We are on Deck 10, 10236 - the "aft" part of midships lol so I'm guessing, assuming the weather allows port side launching, we shoud be in a good spot!

 

Thanks
