They give you directions to a place that serves cocktails, since they're a brewery.

Yeah, have heard really good things about Spirit. Unfortunately it's not doing the same itinerary as the Sun for April and September, 2025. It's hard to pull the trigger to book a ship as universally reviled/disliked as the Sun...even for an outstanding itinerary.

So...if your passport picture is a few years old...and in the mean time, you've grown a beard...does that cause you to fail facial recognition?

We were looking at the Sun for a Tahiti to Hawaii cruise next year. However, the reviews of that ship (as well as the sister ships the Sky and the Star) are so horrendous, we'll have to start looking for something else. Unless, the dry dock has produced a miracle.

Wow...yummy-looking Portugese tarts in England. Nice to know you can get them without having to go to Portugal. EDIT: Oh wait...Mrs. Schmoopie just reminded me that Costco has frozen ones...and they're not bad. But I'd still rather get them while on a cruise.

@YVRteacher Haven't seen too much grumpiness in the past couple of days. Things must be going well with Dad. (Good beer, good food, and not getting his hair messed up?) Having said that, I need my fix of Dad grumpiness. I can't be the only grumpy one around here...I need company. And having said all of that...Happy B-Day to Dad. Cool having both of you celebrating birthdays together on the same cruise.

On our upcoming September 10 day cruise we have ZERO sea days. Bummer. A sea day every now and then breaks up the hectic schedule of getting off the ship, doing excursions, etc. Nice to have a relaxing day where you have no deadlines and no place to be.

We have a local brewery that gives you a stroopwafel if you order the Maple Porter.

Here's an odd one. We have an excursion booked and when I go into the Excursion list, that same excursion pops up as an option. When I click on it, it says we already booked it. Why have it show up as an option to book it when we already booked it?

NCL is just being proactive to avoid being blamed by certain people who will get bitten and then complain about it on CC. Usually with the heading... "I'll never cruise with NCL again"..."they didn't protect me from mosquitoes...damn NCL. Not only is that company a bunch of bloodsuckers, they have mosquitoes doing their bidding."

I suppose that it would be a logical assumption that it's sold out. Although, I tried booking one for our upcoming cruise and it didn't tell me it was sold out until I put it in the cart, People also say that if you already booked an excursion for a particular day that you won't see anything offered to you on that day. But that's not necessarily so, as we have an excursion booked and I still see other things coming up for that day.

Wow...that cake in Le Bistro looks awesome. Probably tastes much better (and easier to swallow) than the towel cake.

@mking8288I've been accused of waffling a time or two. However, I really need to get to Belgium to do some serious waffling. Those waffles look fantastic...

I think the Jade is allergic to Key West. It got booted from the itinerary on our cruise in February.
