MikeyA53 Posted January 28, 2017 Author #401 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Very much enjoying your review and can't wait to see how the Getaway compares to your Vista experience. We have booked Vista and Getaway for June 2018' date=' but will cancel one of them. We're having trouble deciding between the two. The itinerary on Vista wins, but we enjoy NCL's Freestyle cruising and their excellent spa facilities. Choices, choices...either one will be great I'm sure! Thanks again for the great review, look forward to each update. Sent from my iPad using Forums Thanks Ron, you are right, either way you'll enjoy whichever one you pick. They both have their Pros and Cons. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyA53 Posted January 28, 2017 Author #402 Share Posted January 28, 2017 . Tracy and I were careless and touched a fire coral, Tracy got it on her thigh I got it on my stomach and hands. It really burns and looks like a burn. Even after 7 weeks it’s still not all gone. After snorkeling we continued with the island tour. Gotomeer, when translated is Goto Lake, a well-known area to view flamingoes . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyA53 Posted January 28, 2017 Author #403 Share Posted January 28, 2017 . Flamingoes in the distance, apparently there are over 15,000 flamingoes on the island. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was our first time on NCL and freestyle cruising, and loved it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyA53 Posted January 28, 2017 Author #406 Share Posted January 28, 2017 . Our next stop was the Cadushy Distillery in the town of Rincon, I love visiting distilleries and collecting new bottles of liquors and liqueurs. I guess it’s a hobby of mine that I started 11 years ago. After this trip I’m now up to 149 different bottles of liquors and liqueurs. Tracy and I are not big drinkers; we usually open the bar when we have visitors at the house otherwise we probably have a couple/few cocktails about once a month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyA53 Posted January 28, 2017 Author #407 Share Posted January 28, 2017 . I purchased the green bottle, Cadushy of Bonaire. The six bottles represent the 6 Dutch Islands. Here’s a quote from the Cadushy website. The Dutch Caribbean Islands are full of Heritage and History. This sparked the creativity of the Cadushy Distilling team. The team made a unique Liqueur for every Dutch Caribbean Island based on the Traditions of these Islands: Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao, Sint Eustatius (AKA Statia) and Saba… Only for Sint Maarten they did not find traditions they could use. So… they took a great Dutch tradition that was ready to be renewed and made a Royal Orange of Orange Liqueur for the Kingdom of The Netherlands.

lovestocruise19 Posted January 28, 2017 #411 Share Posted January 28, 2017 . Checking out our digital photos . I LOVE that Ellie the Elephant is holding an elephant! So cute! I missed Ellie on my cruise last week. :( Loving your review! Thinking of booking the Vista next January before she moves to Texas. Quick question: Did you play the bowling? Was it worth the $3?

JaniceB Posted January 28, 2017 #416 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Your underwater photos are amazing. The ones with the turtle reminded me of Crush. Sorry you guys got burned by the Fire Coral.
