Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. According to something I saw from NCL directly, it has to do with the licensing of the songs. They can only have a certain amount of seating to stay legit and legal with the material
  2. We are on that cruise with you… May I ask where you saw the itinerary change? I noticed this same change on a port schedule website back in July, but didn’t know how accurate it was. I’m curious if NCL is now reflecting the change
  3. Thank you so much for the feedback! This was very helpful. Though this last sentence is a bit concerning. Did the staff do nothing to control the boarding process?
  4. Considering purchasing the priority access pass for our March 22 Encore Cruise. Can someone whose used it in Miami explain how the priority boarding works in this port? Any separate lines or waiting areas? In what order will you board? Are you just put in with the people that had early check in times and are in general boarding group 1 (after Haven and Handicap)? Or do you board in between Haven and group 1? We plan to purchase a couples spa treatment on one of our port days, so the spa credit will be utilized for sure. We also have a tender port to Great Stirrup Cay, so early tender would be nice. Just weighing out if the early boarding is worth it.
  5. The thing I hate that others love: the pool deck along with all its group activities. There are just WAY too many people around the pool for me. You’ll find me in the Vibe or on my balcony or some other quiet space where there are no crowds The thing I love that others hate: Dressing up for dinner! I love getting all dolled up and feeling like a million bucks, taking the time to pose with the ship photographers. Then having a swanky cocktail at a nice bar before having dinner at a specialty restaurant. It makes me feel like my husband and I are back to our pre-marriage dating days when your heart skipped a beat when you saw each other for the first time for the evening. Even now just typing about it makes me feel all dreamy
  6. Crazy stuff? As in you need to be physically able to do crazy stuff? I have bad knees, so I would be very disappointed to find I couldn’t solve it for lack of being able to crawl around on the floor. I was planning on doing this activity for sure as I love solving puzzles. Maybe I need to rethink?
  7. We booked the angled balcony cabin directly next to the club balcony with large balcony suite. The balcony for our cabin fits a large table with two chairs and two loungers
  8. Thanks to those who already responded! We booked this cabin for the large balcony (and bonus larger bathroom). I think the perk question I truly have is in regards to the wine and snacks. I’ve heard it would be canapés twice in the evening. I’ve heard a boring snack delivered once. I’ve heard chocolate covered strawberries. I’m curious what people have had delivered and how often. Is it completely discretionary to the cabin steward or is there a standard?
  9. We are booked in a Club Balcony Suite on the Encore. For those who have recently stayed in a Club Balcony Suite, can you share what perks/benefits you receieved? What I’ve read on NCL and what agents have told me and what my TA heard from NCL are slightly conflicting. I‘d love to hear first hand experience.
  10. The concept will be rolled out across the entire fleet over the course of 2023. I’m super curious to see the Prima’s MDR menu next month. We sail on the Encore in March and since there’s a decent chance the MDR menu will have been updated to a static menu, seeing the menu will determine how many specialty restaurants we book that week.
  11. I thought it was just me, lol. We haven’t cruised in several years, but prior we were very active on our roll calls and have hosted the Meet and Greets on board. We had well over 50 active and participating posters on my last cruise roll call. This time I had to create the roll call both here and on FB. One has two members (me being one of them) and the other has 7. So even the social media ones, though more active than CC, are iffy at best. Sad. I always enjoyed them. It helped pass the time to chat with others that were equally as excited to travel (and kept our family and friends from being driven nuts by my constant babbling and glee over our upcoming adventure, lol)
  12. The escape room the OP is referring to is a digital/virtual reality escape room located in the Galaxy Pavilion. Sorry, OP, I cannot answer your question, but I also want to do this when aboard in March
  13. Can anyone tell me if this plus package includes the gratuities for the beverage package upgrade at the $50pp per day rate? Or is there an additional 20% added on top?
  14. I’ve watched several videos of walks around the Taino Bay Cruise Port. Many showed walled off areas saying “Phase Two coming 2022”, but other than a single article from a travel blog stating there would eventually be a water park, zip lines and lazy River, I can’t find any info. Anyone know if construction is ongoing and what is being added in “phase 2”? We are making this port of call in late March and trying to decide if we just want to stay around Taino or venture off further.
