Howdy yall, me and my friend will be taking our first ever cruise out of Miami on the Aqua in Nov and was curious about a few things

1. For disembarking the last day in Port Miami, we have a miami airport flight at 1pm, are we okay to wait till the final kickoff time or at least late into it to catch a cab or Uber to the airport? Or will it be more bottlenecked and stuck at the port by then and cutting it too close with traffic? In port on a sunday.

2. This is a Caribbean cruise and we will take oir passports but saw you just need a photo id for the ports, we are planning our DLs but does anyone know if a standard DL works or if it has to be the updated real ID version? We are from NJ so not everyone has fully swapped yet so wasnt sure if my buddy would need to use his passport or could use the non realid dl.

3. For the last night of the cruise we will be in GSC till 6, are there any recommendations for the final dinner? Will the mdr and buffet(i know the buffet is tiny) be chaos and should we try and snag a specialty? Or does it not matter as much on the last night?

Any help on any of these is greatly appreciated, have been digging through the guide but didnt see much on these three topics in these details.

Hello my first time going on Norwegian trip. I’ve traveled in the years prior on carnival. How is the food in this cruise ? I have not booked yet. The travel rep recommended paying for the specialty restaurants Steak house
Seafood. Is the crowd older or mixed ? This is for my husband and I. We’re both in our 40s.

Anyone have any experience with Halloween on NCL any ship or specifically the Getaway?

Do folks dress up? just the day of Halloween or throughout the cruise?

Are there restrictions on costumes (not too sexy, scary, masks, etc)

Amy costume contests?

Imaginarium special events for Halloween?

Setting sail-on the Norwegian Encore out of Los Angeles on Nov 29
We have the free at sea plus and a club balcony suite
Any tips / suggestions for best specialty dining options etc ?
We’re a couple in our late 50s from 🇨🇦
Cheers 🍻
