Ahhh. . .The Thalassotherapy pool is inviting in the Thermal Spa The heated loungers look comforting I don’t think I’m cut out for the Salt Room There are plenty of passenger loungers This whole area is right above Norwegian Getaway Bridge .

MandyMommyof2 Posted October 23, 2015 #152 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Wow! Thanks so much for your live review!! I feel like I have relived our cruise this past July. We fell in love with the Getaway, everything about her! The itinerary wasn't our favorite, but we had one of the best family vacations we have ever had. One thing I regret not doing is eating at Cagney's. This is on my list for next year. We got back in early July and with in one week, had rebooked the Getaway for July 2016. It's her new route too!! Our room steward was Ryan. By far the best room attendant we have ever had take care of us. He told us he was moving to the Escape. Thanks again for your review!!!

emilyreid09 Posted October 23, 2015 #153 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi there, I have been reading your review (and loving it!) and am dying to ask a question. Is there a space opposite the vibe on deck 16/17 that has the nicer lounge beds and stuff? Or was that a thing of the past.. Thanks so much and great review!

watchdiva Posted October 23, 2015 #154 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi Radio...we're in an H5 on Deck 16 and wonder if the balcony will hold a lounger? DH loves to snooze on the balcony.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gschwartz001 Posted October 23, 2015 #155 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Hi Radio, Quick question - we are back on Getaway in December after sailing on her in July as well. When we were last there Shanghais was only open for dinner and it was insanely crowded - is it now open for lunch too? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted October 24, 2015 Author #156 Share Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Hello everyone . . . Norwegian Getaway arrived in Nassau at about 11:45 with clear sunny skies and very warm temps. It really has been a great weather week for cruising. Just a shower or two during sea days, but overall the weather has been beautiful. With 4 ships in port today, the crowds were heavy. The worst part was entering the port facility, and leaving the marketplace. Nassau really has a lot of attractions, with many things to do for all age groups. I decide however just to do some shopping, look around a bit, and have a final relaxing day on board, I was successful. We will be in Miami early tomorrow, and I am thinking that there are probably 4000 Cruise Passengers who are planning what they will do when they board this lovely ship tomorrow morning. There are only about 20 passengers that will be on a B2B. I wish one of them was me. I’m sure that I will be cruising again very soon, and my memories about Norwegian Getaway will last a long time. I have a lot of photos to post that have been missed this week . . . I also have a lot of scans. I will be posting these items over the next several days. I will be driving up to Sanford, Florida tomorrow morning to catch AutoTrain at 2:30. I should be posting again from the train. Thanks for the nice comments, and thanks for tuning in . . . Radio Norwegian Getaway sailed past the iconic Lighthouse about 11:30AM as we approached Nassau Carnival Pride, and Carnival Victory are already in port. . .Carnival Sensation will arrive soon With 4 ships in port today, Nassau was a madhouse The live band was very good at the shopping area OK . . . It’s time to go back to my home for just one more night The best thing about Nassau is Norwegian Getaway at the pier .

Polomom Posted October 24, 2015 #163 Share Posted October 24, 2015 Radio- I would like your thoughts on the auto train accommodations. We have traveled in the regular reserved seats but have often thought of getting a "roomette" if the price was ever right. Have you ever traveled in one- what do you think? Do you have any pictures? Thanks and have a great ride home! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted October 25, 2015 Author #172 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Hello everyone. . . Welcome to Day 8 of “LIVE” from Norwegian Getaway. (a little later than normal) Norwegian Getaway pulled into the Port of Miami area about 545AM. She then headed west to the turning basin, and then docked about 6:45AM. The ship was cleared for debarkation at 7:25. I was through customs and in the parking lot by 7:40. . . It was very smooth and very fast. I had to carry my own luggage (No porter available), but that was Ok as I needed to beat feet up the Florida Turnpike to arrive at Amtrak in Sanford at 2PM. I actually arrived early at 1PM, and AutoTrain 52 headed north at 345PM. The train is much light heading north (about half of the SB Train 53) and we are scheduled to arrive in Lorton, VA at 9AM. Dinner tonight was very good (Not Cagney’s, but still good) I should be hitting the rack early tonight to catch up on my sleep a little. Here are a few pics from today . . . thanks for tuning in. Radio A very early view (3AM) of the Main Pool We were still out at seas heading to the Pier at 5AM We have arrived at Terminal B/C I arrive at AutoTrain station On time ! Nice sunny weather while my car is being loaded So long Florida . . . see you again soon ! . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
