  1. Lobster, if available, all have upcharges. No free lobster.
  2. Manhattan Cruise Terminal Pier 88.
  3. Same as hauling your bag to steerage. Your bags have to fit through the x-ray scanner. Haven is more manual X-ray. Steerage is fully automated, so you bag has to fit in the bin. You still have to haul it to waiting area. (For the Haven, you will either have to carry your bags up the stairs to the waiting area or use the elevator… that will slow you down as the mass of people are escorted down the stairs to board).
  4. As a Haven guest, you should receive your luggage tags in the mail about 50 days prior to departure. They will be solid magenta color. If you don't get snail-mail tags, just print your tags in black-n-white. The magenta color only designates that you are on the Prima. And it will be the only ship at that terminal. There are no Haven bag drop areas. Just give your bags to the first porter that approaches you. There is only one entrance to the terminal. BUT,,, there is a special check in outside the doors for Haven guests. They will escort you to the elevators going to the second floor (versus using the escalators with the steerage passengers. There is a dedicated security screening station inside the Haven check-in area. There is one entrance, with a Haven line to the left As you exit the elevator, you will be at the entrance to the Haven check-in Haven Waiting Area Compared to steerage waiting areas below
  5. Yeah, they never put a Entourage on the Prima and Viva.... then ended up using part of the Splash Academy space for teens, cutting down the space for the little ones. Bad design decision from the start.
  6. No real sympathy here. I don't think that 6000 other passengers should have to wait for people who don't get back on time. If people can't tell time, they should take a ship ShoreEx.
  7. Call the general reservation line and ask that they put a "Special Request" into your reservation for "Twin Beds". Get them to re-send the "Guest Confirmation" to you via email. You should see a separate section called "Special Requests" with a notation for "Twin Beds"
  8. The Joy is bit of an odd ball in the fleet. After she was built, they converted about 20 Suites to Haven rooms, essentially adding 25% more rooms for the Haven infrastructure to handle. I have not personally sailing the Joy haven since this conversion. I sailing a suite on the Joy which does not enjoy the same benefits as suites on every other NCL ship with them. So, again, the Joy is an odd ball.
  9. The harbor will be opened long before NCL Sky will call there.
  10. Menu from Seascape last week if it helps
  11. The more important thing is that since it is no longer the Diamond Lounge, diamond members are not allowed in for afternoon happy hour times. You can peak in from the outside like gold and platinum members
  12. First come first serve once the re-route gets into the system and you have the correct days in Cruise Planner.
  13. No. They only send them out to CBS on exception. We always sail in CBS or Haven rooms and only get tags for the Haven sailings. We have an upcoming CBS in a few weeks and did not get any priority tags. We already printed out tags from our eDocs. (We're diamond also)
  14. We never take fixed time dining. MTD gives us the flexibility (with or without reservations) to eat when we want and show up early/late to our "reservation". Fixed time dining is slowly becoming extinct like the dinosaurs and we cant figure out why RCCL hangs on to it.
