You are welcome!! I’ll post some more along the way 😁

Thank you! I will give these to him. He’s already contacted corporate after he was told if he didn’t like what they were doing he could get off the ship. Not @hey we are sorry for what you’ve gone through and the inconvenience”. He has valid issues, and their responses are wrong and sad. The immediate issues are resolved thankfully but he was treated very poorly. there are some exceptional NCL team members who’ve made things better. Thank goodness for them.

Another passenger is having issues too, Much worse issues. he woke up this morning with multiple bites all over his body. NCL staff checked his room and there were bed bugs and signs of them in the drop down bed he wasn’t using, so they’ve been there a while. They are moving his room and doing cleaning his clothes… but only after he had to fight with customer service. Originally they said HE had to pay for the clothes to be cleaned, then tried to offer him a discount for cleaning but still have him pay part of it until finally relenting. That’s just not acceptable. And apparently this just escalated to a stupid and beyond unacceptable level. I’m encouraging him to go to the customer service director so we will see how it goes. Problems happen, it’s how they are addressed that lives in memories.

Breakfast and lunch menus and food. great service and great food 👏 the orange chocolate mousse dessert was awesome.

This is a Mango Madness. It is soooooo good.

Our Great Stirrup cay stop was lovely. A group of 5 solos shared a cabana and it was a great way to spend the day. The weather was perfect and the water gorgeous. dinner 2 in the mdr was very nice, good food and great service. There was some passenger driven drama so hoping tonight will be a perfect dinner 😅🤷🏼‍♀️ Patrick is the NCL assistant cruise director for the solo/single group this cruise. He’s amazing, so fun and helpful. This is the last cruise of his contact so he’ll be going home when we do. He said he’ll be on the Encore next

I bought the spa package for the cruise, I have back and leg issues and the jet therapy pool and stone loungers are so nice to relax and enjoy. the co Ed jet pool was not working yesterday but hopefully will be fixed today.

Other solos are going later in the week so hopefully have better experiences. The dining packages on board are not less than they were online. I definitely plan to try Jasmine on the cruise 😁

It was after. They were announcing just the buffet and o’sheehans were open. I checked anyway but neither were open

Awesome, I’ll have a look 😁👍

Howdy! I do have the unlimited wifi package but already had some connectivity issues so will see how the live goes. I’ve cruised many times, this is my 5th NCL cruise. I’ve cruised mostly on Princess (26ish times) and a few times on Carnival as well. I cruised on the Jade in 2012 in the Mediterranean. I like the action packed ships but also the small ship ambiance sometimes. I’m cruising NCL, Carnival and Princess this year so looking forward to seeing the differences and what I like about each. This is my first time sailing from Orlando. Prior to the cruise I was in Houston for a week for work and then Orlando for a few days. I had the opportunity to go to Epcot and then spend the night in Cocoa Beach the night prior to boarding the ship. I was planning to Uber from the hotel to the ship but another Cruiser I met at the hotel told me about Cocoa Beach transfer so I called them and booked a shuttle from the hotel to the pier. They told me that they were charged $10 each, however I was charge $20 as a solo, even though the transfer was already coming to pick them up at the same hotel. 😑 I Arrived to the port around 1030 and checked in. I got boarding group 12 and they began boarding around 1130 I think. Once on board, I found that there were no dining rooms open for lunch (I went and checked both) so I eat at O’Sheehans. muster was easy, a quick check in at my station and all done ! I booked the thermal spa package for the cruise which I enjoy. For the first several Cruises I went on, I never got the thermal spa package. I didn’t think I would be interested. However, once I did, I was 💯hooked 😅🤷🏼‍♀️. In 2020 I was on the NCL Pearl and their spa area was beautiful. I prefer the layout of the Pearl versus this ship but it’s still a very nice area to enjoy. Before sailaway there was a rocket launch and we had a great view!!! So very cool and not something I’d ever seen. Lots of excited cruisers on deck watching and enjoying. I was up on deck dancing for the sailaway party. I Always love going to those and dancing my cares away as my vacation begins. The single and solo meet up with at 6 PM so I didn’t leave much time to get cleaned up. We had about 15 people at a solo meet up and a group of us are going to share a cabana tomorrow at great stirrup cay. I feel like I’m new to Norwegian, because so much has changed since last time I saw it in 2020. I’m learning the app and where to find things, and still have some things left to figure out. With my free at sea, I booked Cagneys for tonight at 8 PM. I found out once I was onboard that I didn’t really have to do that and I could’ve booked while I was here. Unfortunately I did not have a great experience at Cagneys. I was very much looking forward to it but the experience just wasn’t what I was hoping for. I’d hope that it wasn’t because I was there solo, but the service level was not what it should’ve been. It took 15 minutes after I was seated to even be acknowledged. The other large tables near me received great service. I’m Not the type to be demanding or aggressive but I was getting pretty frustrated as waiters walked by me repeatedly with no acknowledgment for so long. I was seated in a high traffic area across from large tables but Couples came in after me and got window seats and were being acknowledged and served right away. Frankly I was starting to think about just leaving. A bit later the head waiter came over and apologize for the delay. That was very much appreciated as I understand things happen, however that wasn’t the only issue with the dinner service. I left very frustrated with the service level I received versus what other customers did. If they were busy and everyone had the same delays and others issues I’d 💯 understand. I was thinking about buying a dining package but I’ll pass. The food was good but not amazing. The dessert (cheesecake) wasn’t good and was actually warm. The cheesecakes I’ve had have been cool or cold, so not sure if thats how it should be, but I ate 2 bites. I know I could have asked for a different dessert but I was just done. I hope others have a great experience there, the filet mignon was very good. I have an inside cabin this cruise, I LOVE the glass shower enclosure I. NCL ships, so much better than the clingy fabric ones 👏 I have to meet at 7:15 am tomorrow 😬 to tender to the private island so early to bed. I’m looking forward to some beach time 🏖️

In the evening I took the trolley tour. Our whole group had planned to go but the youngest in our party was having a hard time with her medical issues and her parents needed to stay onboard as well. We had rented her a wheelchair at the zoo hoping that would allow her to feel well enough for the trolley. sadly that wasn’t the case. She had a rough time at the zoo and some tears, mostly frustration but pain too. She loves flamingos so I’ll use 🦩 when referring to her 😉 the tour was ok, they were about 20 mins late. The night light views were nice but I think i would have preferred a day tour to be able to see more. we were out for a few hours seeing the city. Do you see that bridge though? I hate bridges anyway but I’ll be happy to never go on that one again 😅it’s long and we were on the edge with a low barrier and all I could think was we were in this trolley vehicle with no seat belts and a plastic flap keeping us in. I know I’m dramatic 😅but I hate going on bridges I was so sad 🦩wasn’t feeling well and couldn’t come but the tour guide mentioned there was a French bakery in one area we stopped and 🦩LOVES macaroons. I decided to get her some so she could have something she could enjoy. I knew it would cheer her up and I got multiple flavors with visions of enjoying them all together with our full group of 8. I texted her a picture and she was sooo happy to see what I was bringing to her. she’s had such hard path the last few years and it means a lot to see her have joy. My friends planned to be on the balcony waving as I was coming back and we planned to take photos of each other. I was happily walking through the port terminal carrying Them… and did not realize it wasn’t a sealed box. The inner box slid out of the outer box and all but 2 macarons fell to the ground. My heart sank. I know it probably sounds like something small but she’s had such. Hard time and seeing them on the ground just hurt. I got onboard and went up and told them what happened 😞and gave her the two I still had. this story doesn’t end there though… and it turns into something beautiful

The San Diego zoo was a quick and easy ride from the port. We took Uber and had to walk about 1/2 block to meet it, or it’s easy to catch a cab just outside the gate.

Have fun and great to see your name ❤️
