TOMTOMRN331 Posted January 28, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Good Morning fellow Cruise Critics As I type this we are getting ready for our next adventure. A western Caribbean sailing on the NCL Getaway. This is our first time on this ship and this itinerary. We are staying in a H7 Forward Facing Penthouse (first time in The Haven, but not the suite life). We hail from Tucson, AZ and arrived yesterday via American Airlines to Miami. We are staying at the Sheraton Miami Airport (older hotel, recently renovated). I usually write up a small review after our cruises but thought this time I would try a pseudo live review. This will be my first time so be patient :). Ask away! We should arrived to the port around 11:00 AM or so.

TOMTOMRN331 Posted January 28, 2018 Author #3 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Made it to the Port. The Miami marathon was this morning so the streets around downtown were still closed. Our driver took the tunnel which made the drive around the port super quick. Porters were quick and friendly. We boarded through terminal C. There is a small Haven check in right after security were you get keycards. From there you are escorted to the second floor embarkation lounge with a TINY priority lounge. They announced boarding will start around 11:30 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMTOMRN331 Posted January 28, 2018 Author #7 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Having lunch. Attached a file for The Haven Lunch menu. Boarding was chaotic but organized to the main elevators to be whisked away to The Haven elevators. https://files.acrobat.com/a/preview/06495b3e-28d6-4573-ac7c-0a1d40ad5eb8 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMTOMRN331 Posted January 28, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Was the option to dine in Margaritaville for lunch on embarkation day no longer available? Yes it is - we just chose to dine in Haven. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldgoat61 Posted January 28, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Because you were in the Haven, were you able to board first?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMTOMRN331 Posted January 28, 2018 Author #12 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I was worried the Getaway would feel “too big” but I have not felt getting from aft to forward and vice versa is difficult. Loving the Forward Penthouse - will post pictures later. Here are some of us around exploring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shidah Posted January 28, 2018 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks great! We are staying in the Haven as well. Pictures of the courtyard and Haven Bar would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevnick0814 Posted January 29, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Following. On the Getaway 6/3/18 Since you're in the Haven you may not know but, any idea how long it took for the Vibe tix to sell out? We are only 'Bronze' on NCL. If they are all sold to priority boarders I would rather not rush to try & get on the ship early just to find out they are all gone. Thanks & have a great time.

Shidah Posted January 29, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Did you purchase Vibe passes? If so did you get them from the concierge or go to guest services? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMTOMRN331 Posted January 29, 2018 Author #25 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Good Monday Morning I am amazed how smooth this ship feels, even in choppy waters like we had last night. I am sitting at breakfast and don’t have the sensation we are moving Overcast today, but should clear by the afternoon. Today we are doing Wine Lovers Musical and the Cirque show tonight for dinner. I think I will post more and reply once we are in Belize and have access to better WiFi. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
