DESTINATIONS — CRUISE
Norwegian Cruise Line upped its entertainment ante with Epic and the rise continues with Breakaway and Getaway. The latter is sailing seven-night cruises from Miami, which is just about enough time to see everything on board, from fast- moving ballroom in Burn the Floor, to musical Legally Blonde and even fireworks under the stars at Spice H2O. Howl at the Moon is a new take on the traditional piano venue, with two pianists battling for attention. There’s jazz and R&B in the Grammy Experience, laughter in the Headliners Comedy Club, and magic with your meal in the Illusionarium. How much? From £479 cruise- only for a seven-night Eastern Caribbean round-trip from Miami on Norwegian Getaway departing April 11.
