Cool Cruiser (2/15)

I was on the NCL Joy in January 2023 and did the Panama Canal Experience. I was very glad I did, as I got to experience going through the old locks in the small tourist boat. The next day, the Joy transited the canal using the new locks. So it was very interesting to get to experience both sets of locks (on the Pacific side, anyway).

I'm also a fan of the Jewel class ships. Have been on the Jade twice, the Jewel one, and am about to go the the Gem. I love, love, love the Great Outdoors and am also a fan of the Spinnaker Lounge. O/P, I've also been on the SS Norway! What a wonderful ship she was 🙂

I'm finding this amusing, so thought I'd share. My husband and I have cruised Carnival before. Right now, we have an NCL cruise coming up really soon (January 2nd). A few days ago, my husband got a notification from the Carnival HUB app that the water shuttle would be leaving soon. And just now he sent me a screen shot of a HUB notice reminding him tonight is Cruise Elegant night! "Let's be fancy!" I'm not sure which cruise the app thinks he's on right now. Not planning leaving the house tonight, but maybe we'll dress up, lol. Maybe Carnival is jealous we'll going with NCL this time? 🙂

To dive or not to dive...Puerto Vallarta & Acapulco
jazzydiver replied to jazzydiver's topic in Scuba and Snorkeling
Was scrolling through the scuba threads and noticed I never followed up as promised. We used Swiss Divers in Acapulco and had an extremely positive experience with them - I highly recommend them. The diving itself was somewhat murky and not a huge variety of life (lots of pufferfish though, and a couple turtles and a seahorse), but the absolute best part was hearing humpback whale song for over 20 minutes!! We were very glad to have dove there. -
I sailed on the Dawn a few years ago and enjoyed it. Yes, it's smaller and older, but I liked the ship. If you are the kind of person who likes to explore odd corners of a ship, be sure to visit the lounge overlooking the atrium on deck 9. Nothing special about it, just an interesting spot to have a place to sit, and my group used the "secret" side door from the cabin hallway on deck 9 as a shortcut to get to the "fancy" staircase adjacent to the atrium (as we are stair-takers vs elevator users). Depending on where your cabin is, the secret door is pretty useful.

Platinum member Wine Tasting and Behind the Scenes Tour
jazzydiver replied to Scurrent's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I just wanted to add, yes, go to the CruiseNext desk to sign up for wines of the world tasting, but be prepared for an extremely hard sell talk on the CN certs. I still had one remaining CN cert and didn’t want to buy any more at that time, and almost had to resort to being rude to the CN rep to finally get away. Next time I’ll just walk away after saying “no thank you” even if they’re still speaking. -
Thank you for info, everyone. What wound up happening is that I booked Cagney’s online for $0. Then I called customer service regarding making a Moderno rez, and they transferred me to my PCC. He couldn’t help me with getting around paying the fee, but said since he had access to only 30% of the time slots (they only release that many ahead of time) that there should still be plenty of availability if we book right away when we get on board. So we’ll just do that.

Water slides and rope course, woo hoo! Bring ‘em on! Not a deal-breaker for me whether a ship has them, but I definitely make use of them and enjoy them!!

Just to clarify, we don't have the dining package. I am referring solely to the two platinum dinners, which are free. The online booking software apparently doesn't register that we're platinum. We shouldn't have to pay anything at all, and in the past it has shown as $0, regardless of whether it was an ala carte or a flat fee restaurant.
