I will add my name to that list!

I see from the dailies that you did Cozumel first and then Costa Maya. When did you find out about this switch?

snow bunny

I'm also seeing two rates, one rate for OBC and another for everything else, neither of which are as good as your rates. Also, there's some odd ones like the rate for the 3 meal dining package.

 

More alarmingly, this change done something to my December cruise, I had booked with Canada at Par & completed payment. Now as of today, the fare prices have gone up, and the site now claims that I have not completed payment due to the differing fares.

 

Has anyone else seen this?

 

I'll be calling NCL later to sort this out.

Please come back to let me know if they sorted it out. I might have to call in to see if they can switch the rate back! I really want the spa pass but not at this new rate! If I buy OBC and they are not available on the ship, will NCL give me back my OBC??

14 days from now DH and I will be on the seas sailing on the Getway!

We took packaged snacks for our son's Gf as she has a severe tree nut allergy, this kept her from having to read all ingredients for having a snack while in port. Helpful if English is not the predominant language!

Has anyone had issues with your original booking rate not being used for all amenities? I have a cruise in two weeks that some of the items are at the booking rate of $1.111 and some are at the current rate of $1.306!

There are some here for the Getaway, missing one page of Day 3.

Hi snow bunny,

How much was the shuttle service to the port?

I am going to say $10-15 per person. It was a large van that picked up at the three hotels on this street. You would just sign up at the hotel desk. We chose this hotel as we were travelling as a family and they have a suite with 4 queen sized beds which accommodated all of us. They will also shuttle you using their own shuttle over to the mall that is close by, we just walked.

Check under the North American Departures and search Tampa. We have twice stayed at the Courtyard and while they have a free shuttle from the airport, they have a pay shuttle to the port. Worked fine both stays.

Mine are showing at $12.95 a day. So I should probably prepay them then.

That is the price I prepaid mine at. Of course being at $1.111 for the exchange made it a no brainer! Right now if I go to buy USD I have to pay about $1.36 per dollar!:eek:

I have hard copies that I can scan. Is uploading a PDF to this site possible? Any limitations?

You certainly can post a PDF. I am looking for Day 3 in particular as another post had everything but that!

Thanks in advance!

They are posted.

Thanks again for posting these. There is one day where the hourly page is missing, Day 3. Do you still have it and if so, what was the evening event at Spice H2O? DH and I dance, Latin and ballroom so have I have recorded all of the lessons and evening events so as to not miss anything and to try to figure out dining. I am aware that these may change for our sailing but at least I know what to be on the lookout for! The second night for our sailing is Halloween so I don't know if they will switch up the "formal" night with one of the other themed nights.

White Hot Party became the GLOW Party several months ago, maybe even over a year. I met many who expected a white party thought.

When DD and I sailed on the Getaway in 2014, it was the GLOW party then although many wore white to it.

Sorry, I will backtrack to find them.

Did you figure out how to post the dailies? Would love to see them before our cruise at the end of the month!

snow bunny

I would dream of that!! By the way, what does DD and DH stand for? I keep seeing this throughout.

DD is darling daughter and DH is darling husband. You will see many abbreviations on here, some easier to decipher than others,

My DD and I purchased the spa passes for the week. I loved it but not so much for her. Then again, I tend to choose Celebrity spa rooms when I can! Am hoping for an upgrade to the Haven Spa room on my next Getaway cruise with DH for his birthday surprise!

snow bunny

Someone very wise once told me, you can always make more money but you cannot make more memories! Enjoy this trip with your family!

snow bunny

We received the email today for our cruise on the Getaway for Halloween. I have put a minimum bid in for a Spa Haven room. Okay if I don't get it but it would be an amazing surprise for my DH for his 55th Birthday!! He is not aware that i have upgraded us to a Mini Suite but Haven Spa would be over the top!

snow bunny

Do you recall what parties were held at night? Trying to figure out which ones to pack "costumes" for!

snow bunny

I too have purchased a water bottle with a filter but DH said no thanks. We will see how much he wants of my drink while we are on shore!

snow bunny

Might try this for a drink and key lime pie! Will miss the grill and had hoped it would stay long enough for DH to try.

snow bunny

Would you recommend using Pesos or US $? We are Canadian so therefore need to exchange funds one way or the other!

1) What does the site say about cancellation policy?

2) If paid by cc, you can always dispute the charges if they don't refund and you don't go.

3) If you do cancel, then look into something like Beachers or Bananarama which do include transportation in their costs and have other amenities as well.

Club Natale is another possibility, but not sure if there's transportation included.

 

Reviews of both on this board.

Do you happen to know what the snorkelling is like at Club Natale?

Is it still the Ruffino Pino Grigio? If it is you can buy it in many grocery stores in the US Eg CVS. Retails for around $10 US. If it is, it's the one I drink if I'm on the UBP. Not as good as a good Marlboro Sav Blanc, but still better than the house Sav Blanc.

No, it is now a wine by Banfi.
