Additional details
This is a review of the June 7th sailing of the Getaway. We are a family of 3, myself and husband (early 40’s) and son 12. I noticed from reading these reviews that there are all types of preferences when it comes to cruising. I would describe us a casual and laid back and not high maintenance. Our experience cruising was last year on the Pearl to Alaska. We have only cruised NCL and enjoy the Freestyle experience.
We arranged for SAS to pick us up at our hotel and take us to cruise port. They arrived on time at 11:00 a.m. and we were at port of Miami within 30-40 minutes.
There was a short line at security. We probably waited about 5 minutes. We had 2 bottles of wine and they showed us to the table where they gave us a receipt for the corkage fee ($15.00 each) and put stickers on each bottle. No problems at check in and was giving boarding group 5. They took the embarkation picture on the way to the lounge. Waited about 5 minutes and our group was called to board.
Cabin Review
Our room 8124, M6 Mini-Suite – Large Balcony, we loved our room and the location. I was concerned that since we were near the front we might feel the boat more. No concerns. We had a table, 2 chairs and 1 lounger on the balcony and still had room to move around. The only complaint is we did get trash, etc. from others above and if you are out by the railing people above can see you. There were also white bits that appeared over the course of the cruise. The people next to us were smoking cigars so I don’t know if that was it or not. As people have said before, plenty of storage available in the cabin. Bed was very comfortable no issues. Loved the size of the bathroom, did not feel cramped. Shower was large with multiple options for water spray.
