Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Looks like the Joy left Bermuda and is on its way to NY
  2. Thank you, Yvonne, for taking us on this awesome ride! I thoroughly enjoyed reading your review and looking at your pictures every day. Good luck on your new job and looking forward to your next review. Best wishes to your dad too.
  3. When we were on the Escape last month, my bathroom had a horrible urine smell. The room attendant tried everything to make it go away but nothing helped. I finally started to leave a towel completely over the vent behind the toilet bowl and it helped immensely. Try it.
  4. Syd's may be great but they only accommodate very few people. What are the rest of the people supposed to do? Their best entertainment is in their smallest venue.
  5. I am so happy to be following along on another of your cruises. My cruise is over and normally would not be on cruise critic until I have another one planned, but I find myself still coming on every day to read about your adventures. Have a wonderful time and safe travels!!
  6. They changed the hours though. Instead of 10am-6pm the new hours with the change are 6am-2:30pm.
  7. Enjoying another one of your adventures with your dad, have a wonderful trip!
  8. I just came off the Escape last week and found that even though the daily said breakfast was until 9:30, they had one side open longer for breakfast. NCL is really trying to push room service to make a little extra money with their limited buffet hours but who wants to order room service and then have dirty smelly dishes stacked in your room for hours and hours because they also cut room cleaning down to once a day, so your dishes just sit. The lines and wait are ridiculous at O'Sheehans plus the staff is cranky because they are dealing with a bunch of drunks that normally would have grabbed a slice of pizza or hot dog and fries at the buffet but are now forced to sit down and wait a long time for food to be served. Another big problem we found is there were no bars open after midnight. It was ridiculous. Yes, the drink package was not limited to the number of drinks you could have but you were basically cut off at midnight. Maybe a little longer if you were at a show but as soon as the show was over, the bar closed. I have to say, the cruising experience has really changed with NCL and I'm not liking it much anymore.
  9. I just wanted to update this thread as we recently went on this excursion. We boarded a 2 level boat, the top was open air and the bottom was air conditioned and sailed to St John's. During the scenic ride, we were given commentary on what we were seeing. When we got to the island groups were separated and we went with our tour guide who was a very nice young man. After signing a document, we walked up a tall staircase and began our hike to Honeymoon Beach. There is a long (felt like more than a mile) walk uphill and then downhill a rocky, uneven pathway. There are times you are precariously stepping up and down on huge rocks, avoiding tree limbs and donkey poop and a few times when there is a smooth walkway. There are trees on both sides of you with nothing to see and it is a good thing because you really cannot take your eyes off the ground or you will trip and fall. At the end of the trail, it opens up to an absolutely gorgeous beach where you will spend about one hour at. We saw sea turtles, a stingray and a fish through the crystal clear water. After, the hour is up, you take the same walk back. I do not regret taking this excursion but would not do it again. The heat and humidity were intense and jumping in the cool ocean was much needed. Sneakers are a MUST and the walk can be difficult if you are not in shape and or do not have on the right footwear. There were a few lounge chairs scattered and supposedly a bar, food and bathroom a little further down the beach but there really was not enough time to explore them. Everyone just enjoyed the beach.
  10. I wonder what it will actually take for you to not be a NCL cheerleader. I know you get a bunch of perks for being that person but come on, sometimes you just have to admit NCL is not infallible.
