When you're nude, every port is tender....

I'll take Wedge Salad, Cheeseburger, and Creme Caramel? For $500 Alex. Well, darn. Someone forget to refresh for new posts, and now can't delete. 😄 Sorry! But at least I was right!

There is always (in my limited experience) a dining room open, although the crew may say there is not, and herd you towards the buffet. But our arrival tradition is get on early and go relax with a nice lunch in the main dining room. We grab a nice cocktail or soda on our way in, and enjoy! When you get on ask "Which is serving lunch - Savor, Taste, or the Manhattan Room?"

No way!

Yes, but remember you have to finish the drink before you disembark. They will not allow you to carry a drink off.

I was on the Sun in August, so not a Breakaway class ship, but I will never do the 5th floor again. Very loud engine noise. We like low as possible for motion sickness avoidance, but I will never book without cabins both below and above me. It was unrelenting. Still a great cruise, but that was the one mar.

It does, but I just booked a solo balcony on the 10th deck, same as my friends in the studios. Very excited! Of course, according to my account on NCL, I have only 533 days to go!! Grrrr. 😄 Thank you!

I forget how picky Dali can be about storing pics. Anyway, this was in response to the comment about not seeing bears and raccoons in thongs in the nationals parks. Hopefully this picture sticks, because it was one of my better AI efforts. 🙂

Is there any chance you are travel in one of the "solo" cabins? If so, you have access to the Studio Lounge which has an espresso machine and makes things like cappuccinos. (No idea of quality.) All included with solo rooms. That's what I'm doing because I can't drink $13 worth of coffee per day, and I'm pretty much a non-drinker at this point. If I decide I need Starbucks or a Mudslide or a soda, I'll just buy them, but most of my coffee needs, and thus most of my needs, are met. (Another benefit to being single and not willing to share with others. :D) Have a blast!

Thank you DorothyB!

Did my picture turn into text for everyone, or just me?

Hi Everyone: There is a group of us singletons planning a trip on the Getaway, and right now we have 5 studio cabins booked. However, the solo balcony is a really good deal and I am tempted to book one instead. But would I still have access to be with my friends in the studio lounge? I.e. would my card allow me in the lounge? I've read conflicting reports, so I thought I'd bring it to the experts! All advice/knowledge gratefully accepted. Susan

Not what I've heard....

Thanks for another great review. Can you add a link here when you post about the Christmas cruise? Love reading your detailed posts! And wave if you are ever in Aberdeen! (Or passing through to the beach.)

Looking forward to it.
