az-cruiser Posted July 6, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 6, 2014 We decided on the Getaway instead of the Pearl. I just couldn't get over how the Getaway had so much more for the kids ( Boys ages 10 & 11) ...thanks for all the input too! Now..what do I need to know? Any tips for sailing on the Getaway? What do I need to know to make this as enjoyable as possible? We have cruised, Princess, Carnival, Holland America, and are NCL first timers. I need the lowdown on NCL and all the Getaway's secrets..lol Can't wait!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkincc Posted July 9, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 9, 2014 (edited) I you like Mojitos, try the cucumber/jalapeno mojito in the mojito bar. :pThis is the single best new drink I have had in quite a long time, but not for the faint of heart! My other fav was the pineapple cocoanut mojito. We went to the outdoor Mojito Bar on the Waterfront for sailaway. Not many people there. Say Hi to Bong for us if he's there. One of the best and funniest bartenders NCL has. Look for the Mojito tasting in the dailies. A lot of fun as are the other tastings. Don't miss Cagneys. Filet is fantastic.
