That would be cruise Terminal 10. It is right next to Disney’s terminal. It is actually Port Canaveral’s smallest terminal which can offer some challenges to larger ships with so many people but NCL usually has their stuff together. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeMammy Posted August 20, 2022 #13 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Hey Brad We've done the Getaway twice and love it. We're going again for a Thanksgiving 10 day out of Port Canaveral. We have a Haven Aft Penthouse. I've seen mixed reports about Silver Cove on GSC providing access to Haven guests. Some say you must have a cabana reserved to get in. Are you going to check it out? TIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drumexpert510 Posted August 20, 2022 Author #15 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Check in was smooth and easy. We are in the Haven but even looking at standard check in it flowed very fast. Make sure to have your docs, vax cards, passports and negative tests handy to show multiple times! It seems Inspire is set up to do Covid tests on site if needed (see photo) 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SILVER COVE VILLAS, and cabanas (not in Silver Cove!) must be purchased through the Shore Excursion desk (Pre-cruise or onboard). It definitely helps to know the difference between VILLA in Silver Cove, as apposed to cabanas in the middle of the island! This link displays both (with generalized pricing): https://www.ncl.com/shore-excursions/search?sort=searchWeight&perPage=12&destination=Bahamas+%26+Florida+Cruises&port=NPI&priceRange=300+2000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare drumexpert510 Posted August 20, 2022 Author #23 Share Posted August 20, 2022 (edited) As we sail into our first night aboard this beautiful ship…. We have smooth seas and clear weather. Looking forward to a great sunset and then tonight (in about 30 min) we will be having dinner in the Haven restaurant. Pictures or dishes and menus to follow! ***Don’t forget to send in questions or comments and I will do everything I can to answer them!*** Edited August 20, 2022 by drumexpert510 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixiedust777 Posted August 21, 2022 #24 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Following along. we are booked for the end of September. we love the Breakaway so hoping the Getaway being a sister ship will be very similar. If possible could you see if the spa has day pass pricing. I really do not want to purchase a pass for the entire cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare drumexpert510 Posted August 21, 2022 Author #25 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Wow, the dinner in the Haven Restaurant was amazing. I will go on record and say it rivaled Cagney’s. The Delmonico steak and the butterscotch cheesecake were to die for! Without a doubt was better then a MDR in terms of quality which would hopefully be expected. Photos attached from our groups meal (no they are all not mine) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
