From all the media reports I have seen, NO ONE was seriously hurt or needed off ship medical attention.

YEAH!! Good for Security.

At the very bottom of the Access Desk Form there is a section that specifically deals with food issues. I would fill out the form so that your information can be tagged into your room key card. Every time you present your card at a restaurant, your information will show up on their computer and printed out for the waiter. Enjoy your cruise. What a wonderful adventure.

I travel solo all the time. Rarely do I make reservations. I usually show up at the posted opening time and can be seated as a solo within a few minutes including Cagney's. I would not worry about it.

Thank You Chief As you well know, working onboard any ship not just a cruise ship is NOT easy especially if you are young and this is your first time away from home.

May I suggest talking with the General Manager and the Executive Housekeeper.

I was just saying to a cruise friend that being a crew member takes a very special type of person. Over the years, I have seen so many crew members not surviving the first few weeks of a contract.

Jewel Class ships do not require reservations. Theater doors open 30 minutes prior to the stated show times. Shows are usually 7:30 and 9:00 or 9:30. The second show is a repeat of the first one.

Have a safe journey home. When is your next grand adventure?

Keith, it is being reported that a couple got left behind in a port a couple of days ago and re-joined the ship in Palma. What have you heard? When is you next adventure? BIG BIG BIG BIG HUG Love and prayers always, Mandy

The Sun left Seattle, WA yesterday on Her first Alaskan cruise of the season yesterday evening.

Have you sat down with the Restaurant Manager Noel Chaves about the food labeling? Ask, maybe he can fix it for you or see how to make ingredients more clearly.

As of today, Southampton, UK to Boston, MA--Sea Days all the way. Like the Getaway in 2014-Southampton, UK to New York City. Only difference, The Getaway left Southampton in mid January arriving in NYC to act as a hotel for the Super Bowl.

Prayers and Best Wishes

The POA is the ONLY ship in the Norwegian fleet that is incorporated in the US (Honolulu) rather than in the Bahamas, hence most of Her staff have to come from the US. She has a lot more rules and regulations (environmental and employment for two) to follow than other NCL ships. Which is why cruises on the POA are so expensive. The POA is small enough to dock or tender in Hawaiian ports. Not sure but I think the Prima class ships would be too big to service most if not all of the POA's ports of call.
