On the drink menu it shows you can purchase wine by the glass or purchase a bottle. If you buy a bottle do you have to pay the cork fee and the gratuity?

i have paid corkage fee a few times, but even though its $15 a bottle I know its wine i enjoy. I don't always enjoy the wines on board, I a semi dry person and I found them either too oakey or too sweet and even with the corking fee I'm still paying less for the wine they sell on board. I found a moscato that I enjoy during the jazz brunch, its $49 a bottle, the same one local is $11.99 add the corking fee I'm still spending less. Just food for thought. cheers

What is the name of the $49 Moscato wine that they carry on board?

I just finished reading your total review of the Getaway. It was so enjoyable and helpful. Loved the pictures. We will be on the Getaway April 25. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. It was wonderful!!!

Go Shuttle for transportation. We have used them twice with a private car. $80 to a Miami hotel and that includes the tip.

 

On Friday I used a popular Hotel bidding site to reserve a Downtown Miami Hotel. I bid $105 for a 4 star hotel. This is the second time we have won the Hyatt Regency Miami for this rate. Nice hotel. Easy to walk to the mall that is close and to the bay. Last time it was a $14 cab ride to the ship.

 

To return from the ship to FLL, we will use SAS transportation. $15 pp. I don't mind a shared van when getting back to the aipport, they fill up fast enough. We have had issues with a shared van leaving the airports. We once spent nearly an hour riding around LAX looking for two people to fill our van.

What Hotel bidding site did you use to get the Hyatt?

Yes. This cabin has an angled balcony located at the end of the bumpout that offers a bit more space.

This larger balcony does not affect the interior sqft of the cabin.

The bed is by the balcony.

With this cabin being close to the exit for the interior cabins, did you experience a lot of noise from people passing by?

Thanks for the great visual directions--just what I needed.

I am going on the Epic at the end of the month. I have no balance in my left ear. Haven't had any dizzy spells for a couple of months. Do you think ginger root would help me on the ship? Never had a problem with seasickness while cruising before.

Did anyone ever get back something they left behind on an NCL ship? If so how? Thanks.

When we sailed on the Pride of America, we left a piece of luggage. They called me on my cell phone to tell us. We were staying at the Hyatt and the hotel took my husband to the ship,waited for him and took him back to the hotel at no charge. GREAT customer service Hyatt!
