  • The Getaway has arrived at Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. Our visit here this morning is all about one event: The Damajagua Waterfalls. Our booked excursion will have us jumping and sliding down several cascades. One of my personal all time favorite excursions! Join me!

    We stayed at a resort in Puerto Plata. We did the waterfalls excursion thinking it was a hike up and hike down. We told them 2 of us couldn't swim and they assured us we didn't have to worry. When we got to the top they laughed and said jump in. Luckily there was a ladder to climb down but the whole experience was terrifying. We're going on this same cruise next year and I don't even think I'll get off the ship for that port lol glad you enjoyed.

      Some people in our group were complaining about the hike up not beeing "leisurely". And although I had no problem doing it, I agree with them too. This vlog works both as a recommendation for some and as a warning for others. My goal exactly! And in case it would kill you, you signed away any liability 🤣

    Another video!! 🥳 greetings from Canada and thank you for taking us with you on your cruising adventures!
    You are my favourite vlogger - your editing, humour, authenticity, content and calming voice are fantastic.
    We’re taking our first NCL cruise this October on the Getaway, so it’s been awesome to live vicariously through you until we can experience it ourselves!

Cagneys and Bistro are a tie for me. So pick according to your mood, I guess. I'm super happy to hear my vlogs helped you out and I am confident you will have an amazing vacation!

      Megan’s Bay beach in St. Thomas. It’s considered to be one of the top 10 beaches in the world for a good reason. The beach is tucked in surrounded by mountains. The sand is silky and the water is clear and calm. I love San Juan for the history. I recommend taking a tour of the city. You definitely have to visit the famous umbrella street and taste their empanadas. Hope this helps.

I was to be going on the Inaugural sailing 08/17- 08/25 Amsterdam to Reykjavik but it got CX’d and my wife couldn’t switch her vacation for 2 weeks later. Got our money plus 25% off and booked a Haven for 5 of us with all perks and tips on the Getaway 20-27. With the discounts we had we paid only $263 more than the Prima. The Prima is going to be an incredible experience. Can’t wait to see the videos you create for it.
