We had this booked in February and also had it canceled. In the end, we also didn't make it to Ocean Cay, so we weren't sure if the cancellation was because they knew earlier the weather wouldn't be good. They looked fun, we were disappointed we didn't get to try it.

We just sailed a 3-day Magnifica in February. I never found a Daily in advance, and I unfortunately did not keep mine. Only theme night we had was white night. Day time activities included trivia several times, games by the pool, sport games meet-ups. Nighttime included karaoke, silent disco, some game shows (we didn't go so I can't remember which ones), production shows each night, and a late night "rated R" comedian. Let me know if there is anything specific you are looking for or have any questions.

I'm booked on that Gem sailing, but there are no other ones in Feb. I assume it's a $$$ decision, just surprising that Royal, MSC and Carnival all kept the weekend cruises and NCL did not.

Sorry if this has been discussed and I couldn't find it when I searched, but does anyone know why NCL moved away from 3 and 4 night cruises next winter? I know they tended to be a more party-like atmosphere, but they were a nice quick break at times. The other lines are still running them most weekends, so it was surprising to only see Norwegian run them occasionally in winter 2024.

Oh yes I was referring only to rooms 1150 and 1100, not the whole category. We prefer the kids to be in their own beds (not sharing a double), so are leaning towards the ultra spacious option with the bunks, but wanted to see if these were an option for us.

For anyone who has stayed in one of these - do both couches pull out? Thanks!

Not a jackpot for us 😞. The week of 4/14 is our spring break from school so we just had that week. I guess I will wait for the letter to see what our options are. thank you!

Is there still a 4/14 cruise on the Meraviglia? We were on that but it sounds like from your post it’s getting shortened.

Love when we catch a cruise ship when we are at Caste Island - great photos!

I was on Liberty recently and I only remember seeing movie listings for the outdoor screen at night. (The screen was fixed in early March.) Granted I wasn’t looking for movies so I may have missed them. I agree that On Air would be an odd choice for movies.

This happens to me as well whenever I log in and search for a cruise. Calls/emails from a consultant for several days. I always avoid logging in now.

I am looking at this room type for a future cruise, but with 4 adults. I had 2 questions: ~Does the master bed split into 2 like most staterooms? ~I know it doesn't come with 4 chairs, but can you fit 4 on the balcony? Thanks!

We had Welcome Aboard -> Italian -> Caribbean. My full review is above.

I was just in Cococay this weekend with my friend who needs shade- there were PLENTY of umbrellas and shade. We left the ship at 10:30am and went over to South Beach. We were also the only ship in, so I would try to leave on the earlier side if there is another ship, but I still think you will be fine.

Sure! My notes are below - for context, we were four women traveling for a girls' getaway. I work in Food/Beverage, so probably pickier than most - and we all eat out quite a bit. First Day - we had lunch in the Windjammer which wasn't great but as expected. I hate buffets, and I find cruise ship buffets so random. Burgers next to beef stew next to pork schnitzel.. But there wasn't another option without paying for specialty dining which was disappointing on Royal. Dinner - MDR (we only had dinners in the main dining room since it was a short cruise) Escargot was ok - it's usually one of my favorites, and this one was lacking some flavor. No one liked the crab cakes, it had a weird breading on it. Entrees - we all had the Fish and LOVED it! Desserts - each night we tried a few, and nothing ever stood out. All good, just not stars. Second Day - Breakfast in Chops (we were in a Suite) - typical breakfast food - everything was great! Lunch - we had chicken sandwiches and burgers from the South Beach Snack Shack, and they were very good! Dinner - Italian Night - Apps - Carpaccio was under seasoned. Polenta Fries were great. Entrees - I had the Spiced Lamb Kofta and it was one of the best things I ate all cruise. My friends all had the chicken parm and said it was just ok. Third Day - we ordered room service breakfast, and it arrived an hour before we asked for it and it was cold and greasy. Definitely a mistake on our part. We ended up stopping in the Suite Lounge and they had a much more expanded Continental set out than we expected, so that was great. Dinner -Caribbean Night - I had the strip steak - it was fine, and then split the chicken korma - that was excellent. Overall the Indian selections were great- spicy and flavorful! Also, the Pizza was very good in Sorrento's. Every night, it had a crisp crust, hot, and not greasy, very happy with it!
