Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Slim pickin's if you are looking for a bargain right now. But they keep building big ass ships and that sooner or later creates lots of great deals down the road. Hi ho.
  2. This won't be popular....... The best way is to ignore the Haven. Do yourself a favor and buy a balcony or mini suite of your choice, purchase admittance to the adult vibe beach club. You've save thousands, will have a nice area without kids (The haven is kid packed every time I've been there), and the bar service will be better than the Haven. Nomex applied......
  3. Food republic has emerged as my favorite restaurant on NCL. Small plate concept, so flavorful, and if you are using a latitudes food vouchers I've fed four with two vouchers. Never had a bad dish at any Food Republic. Look forward to going again.
  4. And save the cost of the liquor poured...... The New NCL.
  5. I noticed there were many nights when Teppanyaki had an amazing amount of table/grills that weren't being used when I was on the Breakaway. Never seen that before.
  6. I was on the same cruise and echo many of your thoughts. The food in the main dining rooms was disappointing in so many ways. The shore excursions were a mess at many of the ports. On the flipside, I thought the entertainment was really good and had no problem seeing any of it other than the Syd bar show. Service in my stateroom was just ok. Like you, I paid very little so I guess I got what I paid for.
  7. If you look at NCL ships in general in the review section you will notice a many, many of bad reviews in the last few months. Where there is smoke, there is usually fire. That said, some of my favorite cruises I've been on were on the Star. Hope it is a good voyage for you!
  8. The platinum wine tastings I have attended were sad. I tried on 2 different ships and frankly it wasn't worth my time. Poor wine, no fun. The Beverage managers couldn't wait to get us out of there. Our experiences were on Encore and Escape. Hope it was better for others.
  9. If it is one way to Iceland, the starboard side will give you a better chance at seeing the northern lights to the north. Otherwise, I concur with the above. I took this journey a few years ago in the fall and we had one night where we say the lights for a couple of hours.
  10. Returned from the Encore on the September 25th and tested positive the next day. Could have been the ship, could have been the airplane or anything inbetween. Who knows. The illness itself was akin to a cold. Life moves on......
