Hi folks,
Well, I thought I'd start a thread about our upcoming Caribbrean cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines ship Getaway. This is obviously not a Disney related trip but I figured some might be interested anyway.
This will be our very first time on a cruise ship. To be honest, I'm a bit apprehensive about stuff like sea-sickness and norovirus and all that. But hey, I figure we at least have to try cruising once to see if we are "cruisers" or not.
So, we'll be hitting Miami port on April 12th and getting onboard this fine ship:
The cruise will be in the Eastern Caribbean and we'll be hitting the ports of St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Nassau.
I'm also a bit concerned that we are flying to Florida the day we are to sail as most advice I've read suggests flying the day before. But flights were WAY more expensive if we were to do that. Don't you just love the crazy pricing of airline tickets?
So, our flight is scheduled to get into Fort Lauderdale at 11:30 am. and the ship sails at 4:00 pm. We've arranged for ground transfers with the cruise line so hopefully nothing will get delayed.
Anyhow, I'll post some pics in this thread eventually once we get underway. I may not be able to do much posting during the actual trip since I understand internet access on a cruise ship is both expensive and very slow.
Would be interested to hear any advice from experienced cruisers for first timers like us!
