here is day 7

Here are the dailies I kept from my 7 day Alaska cruise on the NCL Jewel. I only kept the back pages with the schedules.

Do not miss Le Cirque! According to the cruise staff, this cruise they debuted a revamped show and we were very impressed. Coming from Vegas we have seen all of the Cirque shows here, and their version was very good!

This is my first time posting pics, so bear with me...

Day 6

Traditional scoop ice cream is available at the buffet during meal times, and at O'Sheehans and main dining rooms. Soft serve is available all day at the buffet as well, closes at midnight. After midnight O'sheehans is your spot.

I've been on the Getaway twice within the last year and never had a problem with flip flops in the main dining rooms. My mom wore her teva-like sandals to the specialty restaurants with no problem as well.

Roatan - Maya Key through NCL; beach plus more! they had a little "zoo" to walk through, ruins exhibit/museum, designated snorkel dock with a "path" to the reef

Belize - cavetubing.bz ; cavetubing and zip-lining package with nice lunch and drinks included. I don't recall close-toed shoes being required necessarily, however it was a bit of a walk through the jungle to get to the cave. My sister and I were very glad to have water shoes like these. Others in our group with the flimsy water shoes commented on the trail being a bit rough. A fanny pack is what we used to hold our stuff and it worked perfectly.

Costa Maya - The Mayan Experience through Native Tours, would highly recommend for a unique experience. https://www.thenativechoice.com/tours/mayan-experience-tour

Cozumel - skip the city highlights tour. We really enjoyed the Amazing Secret River through NCL.

I have used the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TS20 for all of our NCL cruises and it's great! Literally indestructible and takes pictures comparable to basic pics on my sister's DSLR. Not sure the exact model is still available, but I have seen many others on cruises with the same/similar camera.

We always do the self walk-out disembarkation, like the option of pretty much getting off when we want to. This most recent trip on the Getaway we actually went straight from the ship through customs with no line! This was around 9:00.

I just got off of the getaway and for all of the ports the gangway was on deck 4. The atrium is on deck 6 and is the most central location as that's where guest services and such are
