Let us know how you make out tjc78. Cruising on the NCLGetaway Jan 2, 2024. Upgraded few years ago on NCL Breakaway to 2 bed, 2 bath.Happy either way with many friends cruising in Club Balconies and balconies on Getaway!

I just looked at the webcam  and the free ferry  that goes to St. Georges is dockside.

I am sailing. on the NCL Getaway on January 2, 2024 and wondering where we will be docking. I thought Taino Bay but see nothing on schedules for either port?

The Super Bowl was everywhere on the Prima last season. They had the theatre split down the middle with Eagles fans on the left and Chiefs on the right. HUGE video screen. It was an incredible experience.

 

I just tried to book thermal pass for the Getaway out of NYC January 2nd, 2024. I called NCL and was told that they were possibly sold out, but to check with spa 28 days prior or on ship. I have never had a problem with getting spa passes?

So you can't have evening service? Only the morning? What about refilling the ice bucket? I usually only asked for once/day anyway, but sometimes I like it in the morning, sometimes in the evening depending on my schedule. Also I'd often not want full service in the morning or evening but just wanted some fresh ice. 

We were just on Prima 2/12/2023 sailing room was usually made up in afternoon. Which worked for us. Sometimes hubby spent some time in room, but always worked out with late lunch. Didn't have ice in room, but didn't need with beverage package.

I agree totally no need for ship tour, so much to see that's walkable, could rent car. Portland is amazing, shops, restaurants, nearby  beach or Casco Bay Ferry mailboat run.

I’m learning too, that perfect day at the spa sounds heavenly

It was heavenly a must do, facial wonderful too!

On the Prima also feb 12-19 and following!

Take the free ferry to St. Georges swim at Tobacco Bay. Check out shops in St. Georges. Go to Horse shoe Bay. Crystal caves good idea. There is swimming with dolphins at Dockyard where ship will be docked. There is a beach there, miniature golf and trampoline area indoors.

You can ask a Porter for bag tags to fill out and put on your suitcase.

What if you don't have a printer? 

Can they print them at the check-in desk?

Thinking of doing same thing. Also info  on Pt. Canaveral to Orlando on return with late flight!

Im in a family balcony on February 12th. Regular balcony was a guarantee. Looking forward to our cruise in 2 weeks. Wanted to be on deck 9. One deck above the infinity pools!

While you were in Bermuda were you able to walk around with just a shirt or did you need a jacket/sweater?

Bring a jacket your never know, think today was 66 degrees. Could be cooler or warmer!

Wondering about this also, thought I saw that you could.

Hi

Can you use a gift card bought from home at the Starbucks on the Gem, or do drinks get charged to your portfolio?

 

Thanks!

I have been to Bermuda in February and it was 70 degrees.  Massages were  50 per cent off on the island. Had massage at Tuckers Point. Lunch at their pool and swam in their pool!

The more bad weather stories I hear the more I'm regretting my Feb. 1st cruise to Bermuda on the Getaway.  Before I booked I read all the forums which said the temp should be in the 60's and pretty comfortable for doing land excursions.  No one mentioned wind and rough seas.  I had just been to the ABC and other islands on a 14 day Princess cruise and had great weather at all ports so I just wanted a short trip out of NY to break up the winter.  I guess I'm just naive and realize that weather can be bad anywhere during the winter. 

I just read on the Royal Gazette, Bermuda's Newspaper that Delta and AA turned around at the airport in Bermuda Saturday. AA circled hoping for clearance and then flew back To Boston, they didn't have the fuel to land in JFK. My daughter, son in law and children live in Bermuda and have mentioned the gale force winds turning planes around in the winter. Flights are not cheap, and many airlines don't fly in the winter. We were just there for the New Year, love Bermuda!

Wonder where they will have the Super Bowl on the Prima?

The Encore is going to Nassau this week in place of GSC. Change was made a week ago. Hopefully they will get in to Amber Cove, that was changed from Taino Bay last week also.

I would try asking for a robe for your room, something else there cutting back on!

Thanks Bird and Wedgie dossn't look to enticing for Pickle ball!
