Symphony without a second thought. Even through the ship is bigger with more passengers, it doesn't feel crowded. Also more options for entertainment, food, swimming pools, and just an all around nicer (and newer) ship. Only thing I didn't like was the wait time for the elevators (prepare to take more stairs).

When I was in a solo room on Epic in 2016 (so this may have change) there was always cold ice water, soft drinks, hot tea/coffee and snack available in the lounge (bar tender at times). I believe the water and juices were always available. I would book a room closest you can get to the lounge if you think you'll be making mid-night runs.

What is the website that you used to prebook these tickets from Mestre - Trieste?

FYI-MCO just posted they are closing operations as of Wednesday 4pm. Will open back when safe.

Then they should also look/consider Celebrity Summit to Bermuda

I specifically appreciate NCL offering this program to dependents. My military husband does not cruise therefore I could never apply any cruise line’s military discount, as the active member wasn’t in the room. It’s nice to see dependents being recognized as well!

It does not. I’ve been going round and round all morning trying to get it applied to a booking I made back in June for a sailing AFTER 1/1/2023. So you’ll need to cancel and rebook. Seems foolish to have to do it this way. Told terms are for bookings after 11/3. Luckily for me the price went down. If your price went up, May not be worth it (if over 10%). now I can’t rebook until my cruise next Crete are returned to account. Silly.

We’ll no Sh*t. You’re missing the point of my post. Carry on.

I recently played onboard and something dawned on me - it’s all electronically calculated - making it easily manipulated! How does one know the $ value of a case isn’t truly assigned at time the final case is opened? They know how many cards are sold, who holds a card with X amount of matches. Etc. That’s how they tell you how the audience is doing. on this one particular NCL game, the cruise line sold let’s say sold 200 cards at $35 each ($7,000 in sales). They gave back $1.00 from the “winning case”, 4 photos (worth Pennies), and 1 $ $50 winner. Later in the same week, the outcomes from the other games were similar. That’s CrAzY! They are raking in the cash! Same thing with ELECTRONIC bingo. At $50 a pack of bingo cards, Let’s pull some real balls! Who audits these at sea money making scams?!?! Playing odds Similar to the slot machines in the casino I suppose 🤷🏻‍♀️

12. And I’ll agree with the poster above. It was only the first two days, then nothing the rest of the trip. But it was not a vibration one could ignore - it was not light, and pretty concerning. Enough to make it impossible to sleep!

Be aware: the aft of Joy has a HORRIBLE rattle, shake, vibration - call it what you want. for two sea days out to Bermuda my entire room shook like a mini earthquake that kept me up all night long. Hopefully you don’t experience this. Also, it’s a Lonnnng walk from back of ship to front (observation lounge). I wouldn’t pick the back of that ship if I ever cruise her again

I don’t believe there are casinos in Bermuda (you’re good there) and as far as cheap knock- off purses- this isn’t your typical Caribbean port.

I’d like to know this too! There is a great cruise I’d like to book solo for next summer but won’t do so bc of the deposit situation. Non-refundable deposit or pay more for the cruise. Yikes! The cruise is already $3k! I won’t do it, to risky. Would love to know this answer
