sunset from balcony....all most every night
nice cabin right!

Chose NCL Getaway as daughter gave us a deposit as gift & the itinerary sounded well rounded. We had an inside cabin on deck 5 aft and just 2 weeks before sailing I was checking the pricing & saw our cabin code price had gone down a lot, so I called NCL and was given a balcony cabin on deck 11 frwd. Talk about good luck! We also chose the free drink package & it was well worth it. The dining options were so many & the food was awfully good. Social activities were abundant and always something to do. All service personnel were friendly & smiling & offered to help whn needed. Last day at sea, I purchased 4 cruise deposits. As for the excursions, I booked 2: rum tasting in belize which turned out to be a bust as there were 40 in group & only got to taste 4 rums whn tour said at least 21 & tequila tasting in Cozumel that was fabulous, our guide Ricio was so informative. Looking to book Alaska for 2018 but too far out for any itineraries to show on NCL site. All in all, we had an awesome trip & spouse was pleasantly surprised with it all.

Cabin Review

Balcony Stateroom

Cabin BD

good size room with large bathroom and small balcony(enough room for small table & 2 chairs. balcony views were incredible for sunrises & sunsets though can be noisy when moving chairs around & if other cruisers on their balcony. good tv reception for news programs, but NCL needs to get more variety on the movies & tv shows...saw several movies 2x.

Port Reviews

Belize City

Rum Tasting. 40 in tour group, bus drove around belize city before getting to tasting area, which is not the factory just a tasting room and there were several other tour groups there, so the place is small inside & guide passing out little cups filled with tasting and everyone is touching the cups as passed around...Not For Me! Thus I was only able to taste 4 rums and store area very crowed, could not even get bottle to read label...do not book this tour, not worth the $$$$$$

Costa Maya

Again just a shopping area where the hawkers are out in the droves.....did get to see the Palo Valador (pole flying), really cool!

Miami

I live in ft Lauderdale so this cruise was good as it was only 50 miles away, stayed overnight in coconut grove before sailing 9/11/16
