Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. friends just returned from Prima. Donna Summer cancelled, no explanation given
  2. I did a 7 day Getaway gruise Feb. 2022 with my then 18 and 15 year old granddaughters. Cruise was fantastic. They loved the entertainment, going to the buffet for snacks and the general cruise overall. Just returned for the 10 day Getaway in January with the same 2 girls. Even at their ages they noticed the downgrade in services and food. I admit I have spoiled them with cruises, the older one in platinum, close to sapphire and the younger one will be the same when she turns 18 so they know the NCL product well. For the first time cruiser that was going for the destinations and unlimited drinks it was a great cruise. Also port times were terrible. Most of the time we had to be back on the ship by 3 pm. No one wants to go to the beach early in the morning in winter, even if it is the Caribbean, We made the best of it but could tell they were disappinted bit would never say anything to me.
  3. I thought the same way before, but didn't listen to my gut on the Getaway in January this time and ordered the lamb chops. Big disappointment. Left them on the plate. My rib eye on the first visit that trip was delicious!
  4. I enjoy eating in the haven dining room for dinner. I will be on the Joy for 5 days and have 5 specialty dinners. Can I order Food Republic meal to be delivered to the courtyard on a sea day when they are open for lunch?
  5. I was on the Getaway in January. With the upgraded premium wifi had no trouble streaming hulu and prime service. I could not stream my IPTV service most times. I was able to use it on the Escape in September. Both ships had starlink. On Getaway I was trying to use IPTV in my balcony cabin on deck 9, on Escape I streamed no problem when in the haven courtyard, even with the very heavy fog and cloud conditions from hurricane Lee.
  6. not true. I made reservations for every night we didn't have specialty reservations and we were only 3.
  7. we sailed GA 2 weeks ago. Ship was at capacity. I suggest making reservation in the dining rooms. Buffet was a waste of time so dining rooms were packed. 30-40 minute wait without reservations. If you do not go to the reserved time it will just be released after 15 minutes
  8. I just sailed Getaway in February. I could not believe the cutbacks I noticed. No waffles on buffet for breakfast, no cookies. no pretzel rolls, no breadsticks and no fresh veggie nibbles. I had to look at my program to make sure I was on the correct ship! Quite a few other cutbacks in every department. Very disappointing. I sailed Getaway last year in February and it was a totally different experience. I have grandkids that are veggie lovers and salads and veggies were very limited. The whole buffet experience was a let down. I never really eat there, maybe to get soup for lunch, and thought the food options were very limited.
  9. I have 2 teen girls that are not big eaters. If we will be eating at Cagney's (a MUST) on all trips I get a meal package for one of them for however many nights we will eat there and use the included meal plans for me and the other one. Other restaurants supply so much food, they like to share different options. Just tell the server you will be paying for any additional items ordered. For instance, at LaCuchina, they share a pizza as an entree. They cannot eat a whole one each. It works for us this way. Also I am not a big eater, so most times and appetizer and a shared entree will be enough for 2 of us.
  10. I don't know where you were looking. Haven is aft and nowhere near medical center. It also has a separate key card entrance. I never even saw the medical center. The main elevators also were no where near the haven area I was in.
  11. Nowhere near those locations. Was in haven and the clanking and banging all night was unbelievable.
  12. sailed the Prima exactly 1 year ago in a haven penthouse on deck 12. Never knew when we could use elevators or use the lights or TV in our cabin. This happened every day of the cruise. Frequent power failures thru out the ship. Never had this happen on any other of my 27 NCL cruises.
