Creator's Key Takeaways

this vacation certainly got off to a great start with a flight aboard my favorite type of airplane a Boeing 787 Dreamliner

we were completely unaffected by it because for this cruise we are staying in the Haven which meant we got to bypass all the lines and have a VIP boarding experience

one of the best things about the Norwegian getaway is the fantastic thermal suite within the spa

specialty dining is another one of my favorite things about NCL we had some really great dinners during our cruise

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay at the Holiday Inn at the Port of Miami for easy access to the port and Bayside Mall.
Bring cash or credit cards for food and drink at Harvest Caye, as it's not covered by dining packages.

YouTube Video Description

There are a lot of great things about the Norwegian Getaway cruise ship, and in this video I take the time to highlight as many of those things as I can. We did a 7-day Western Caribbean cruise on the Getaway in mid-December, 2018... visiting Roatan, Belize, Costa Maya, and Cozumel. I'll show you a few highlights from those ports, and zero in on some specific things that I love about the Norwegian Getaway. Specifically, we take a look at specialty dining, the thermal suite in the spa, and The Haven... among other things.
