Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 18, 2016 Author #29 Share Posted March 18, 2016 A few more pictures at Bamboo Beach. The one below is of the more expensive area. We elected to go with the cheaper day at Bamboo Beach for around $60pp. The expensive area was closer to $100pp. As I understand it, the only difference between the two was the comfortable loungers pictured below. Other than that, both groups had the same free access to food and booze. jT2] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 18, 2016 Author #33 Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) Some more ship pictures Shanghai's. We never did eat there although we tried. It was very popular. The location of Shanghai's is right beside the casino. Odd spot for a restaurant I'd say. Bliss Edited March 18, 2016 by nbsjcruiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 19, 2016 Author #34 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Sorry I was away for a bit there - I guess I have to work at least once in a while. Next up Grand Cayman. The day was nice up until shortly after lunch and then some clouds rolled in. I think that's the Regal Princess to the left- we're sailing on her in December! To the left is a Solstice Class ship - the prettiest looking cruise ship sailing today IMO. Of course the Getaway is no slouch in the pretty department either.

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 19, 2016 Author #35 Share Posted March 19, 2016 So we spent the day at Calico Jack's. As I mentioned previously, it was more expensive than I remember but it was still a nice beach day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cocod08 Posted March 20, 2016 #41 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Pre-cruise: We stayed at La Quinta in Deerfield which was ok. We flew in a few days early so we could enjoy a couple of days on the beach pre-cruise. While it was a bit cool, there wasn't a cloud in the sky and so we had two really nice days. One day we spent on FLL Beach and the other on Hollywood Beach. Of course we managed to get to Port Everglades for an afternoon of viewing cruise ships as they sailed out. There will be a few pictures of cruise ships of course. Did you rent a car to get around and get to the port? I'm sailing on the Getaway in December and thinking of staying Fort Lauderdale the night before. Did you take a shuttle to the port? Thanks Colleen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 20, 2016 Author #42 Share Posted March 20, 2016 As we were leaving Grand Cayman, I was amazed at the calm seas we experienced. It was like a mirror [YOUTUBE]ND1Xj9whCOA[/YOUTUBE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 20, 2016 Author #43 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Our next stop was Cozumel. I didn't take many pictures this day due to the rain. While it was ok in the morning, it rained most of the afternoon sadly which meant no beach time for Cozumel. We spent the latter part of the afternoon in the Spa relaxing.

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 20, 2016 Author #44 Share Posted March 20, 2016 That's about it for Coz. Next up a few ship pictures as the next day was a day at sea and I did some exploring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 20, 2016 Author #45 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Did you rent a car to get around and get to the port? I'm sailing on the Getaway in December and thinking of staying Fort Lauderdale the night before. Did you take a shuttle to the port? Thanks Colleen Yes, we rented a car - its the only way to go if you're going to stay in the South Florida area for a couple of days. Its cheaper and much more flexible than cabs or shuttles. We rented with Hertz and dropped the car off at the downtown Miami location and they shuttled us over to the port for no charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 20, 2016 Author #47 Share Posted March 20, 2016 The next few pictures is from the area down by guest services, just below O'Sheehans. I thought this was an odd place for a large screen like they have there. If someone is at Guest Services getting some questions answered, many times you have to yell to be heard and listening is a strain because of the noise. Odd place for this. There's a coffee bar over in the corner there - you have to pay for your coffee here but its quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nbsjcruiser Posted March 20, 2016 Author #50 Share Posted March 20, 2016 A quiet night in the Garden Cafe. Food in the buffet was quite good all week and I liked the fact they have toasters there. You can make your own toast and have it hot and ready to eat instead of warm stale bread that many cruiselines mistakenly call toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
