Not related to minors but the chat iteself. We've used it several times on various ships and sometimes it's slow sending messages or not worked at all. Usually if we power down the phone and and turn it back on it will work again. Just an fyi in case you encounter issues.

I really need to second Rthyms of the Night. It's fabulous. I know you're more a beach person from reading your previous reviews but it's basically like Cirque de Soliel but oriented to Mexico.. But definitely book it thru the ship because we'll all be waiting for that excursion to return in the evening so we can depart. We've done the Mexican Riviera itinerary numerous times including just this last NYE.

We were on this cruise also and watched several movies on Lido bundled up and I was still cold. Re: embarkation, we've cruised out of Long Beach multiple times and I've never seen it as crowded as it was this time but as someone mentioned the king tides contributed to part of the delay and it was a full ship so it took longer than normal.

I think there was an issue last year with the colors of the luggage tags and they all printed in red which is not what they are all supposed to be. It appears they have finally fixed it and the multiple colors are now back how they used to be.

I just got off the Panorama on Sunday and on day 1 the steward asked if I wanted morning or evening service. I said evening and that's what he did. Hope this answers your question.

The reason they don't have trash cans is because for environmental reasons all of the trash has to be sorted into various groups such as paper, plastic, food etc. So it's easier for the crew to pick up items from the tables or wherever and sort it themselves rather than having to dig through trash to sort it.

On the Celebration you can go to the MDR free of course but also one visit to each of Cucina and ChiBang. Not just the first night but one visit per cruise free. If you decide to go to Cucina or ChiBang a 2nd or additional time then it's $8 pp. We really enjoy Bonsai Teppanyaki for the food and the show so we always book it in advance because it does sell out.

Just one thing to consider for January in Galveston, it does tend to have issues with fog that time of year and sometimes they are delayed from being able to dock.

I think there was a glitch in one of the maintenance system upgrades a few months ago and suddenly all of the luggage tags were switched to red by accident. Now it appears they've fixed the issue and multiple colors are back.

Sorry to burst everyone's bubble but here's how the single supplement with travel insurance works. Passenger 1 that can't go because of the medical reason has to cancel in order for them to file insurance claim. They should review their insurance policy to determine what they need as to documentation of their insurance claim. Passenger 2 that still wants to go now has to pay the single supplement. If they also have travel insurance usually they cover the single supplement so they'll have to review their policy to determine what documentation they will need in order to file a claim for the single supplement. Yes I know that NCL has already been paid in full and that the single supplement is additional monies to NCL but if you have travel insurance that's the only way as far as I know for them to get refunded the various costs.

I love the Teppanyaki and I order the same thing you do, Terriyaki chicken and steak. I eat so much fried rice I have a hard time finishing my entree

The deckplans are also in the Carnival app.

Don't remember how much the tickets were because my husband bought them.

We were just on the Horizon in July and they had 3 brand new movies at the IMAX. The new Oppenheimer, Mission Impossible, and Indiana Jones. We went to 2 of the 3 and there was a good sized crowd for both.

If you are flying out of Miami even without FTTF a 12:30 flight should be fine under normal circumstances, The airport is only about a 20-30 minute taxi ride or so. If you are flying out of Fort Lauderdale that is about a 45 minute ride from the Miami port so it would probably still be an ok flight time.
