I've been absent from The Tribe for way too long, and this thread reminds me how much I miss you all...and Sid of course! Now the bigger challenge, how many followers can we get for him? You all know he wants as many as possible.  So if you haven't hit that button, I encourage you to do that!

There’s no way he reads this lol

Oh, he will read it all. Guaranteed. We will all get reactions from him next week. One thing about Sid, he's incredibly appreciative of his fans ❤️

I will set the line at one and half and go under

I'm going under as well. This is a new cruise. Fresh start!

Day 2... Today is the day for Sid to hit 15. I believe he's got this!

I'm so sorry for your loss, Paul. Such a bittersweet trip. I hope you are able to enjoy yourself and honor his love of the sea. I'm looking forward to following along with you again as always. Safe travels! ❤️⚓️

Welcome back, Sid! I'm happy to hear that you're taking some time for yourself and reviewing mostly Jeff & Patti style. Have an amazing cruise, and I look forward to read when you get back ❤️⚓️

Sending belated hugs to your family 💗

I always pack some cold meds, Excedrin for headaches, Pepto for any nausea from alcohol/food, and Emergen-C. Also sea bands for my husband in case he gets motion sickness. And a mini first aid kit just in case too.

Thank you for taking us along on your vacation and sharing your experiences. I'm hoping that The Getaway is in my future.  She seems like a great ship ❤️⚓️

Thank you for sharing another review with us. I was hoping you would have a better experience after you had such a more positive experience on The Breakaway. These cuts are getting to be too much. I really hope that NCL listens to comments like yours. I have a ways to go before I cruise again, and I'm hopeful that things improve by then. My husband has had a lot of complaints tge past two cruises, so we'll be switching lines after that if he's still unhappy. I'm really easy going, but I've definitely not been too happy with a lot of the changes either.

Wishing Patti a speedy recovery! ❤️⚓️

Nice report! thanks for sharing with us ❤️⚓️

Happy Graduation! 🎓 I'm looking forward to following along and wish you safe travels ❤️⚓️

Great review as always! Enjoy your summer and I'll be back to follow along again in September ❤️⚓️

Welcome back, Megan! I'm happily along for the ride as usual. Like your kids, I always tune into Titanic. It's just a beautiful movie. The musical is pretty great too!

❤️⚓️ Ashley

Thank you for another wonderful review! I'm looking forward to seeing where you end up in August and will head to your blog for that one. Karl seems so sweet. Hopefully he can make your next trip as well and have a more positive diving experience. Thanks again, Kim! ❤️⚓️

I absolutely love your reviews!  Thank you for taking us along on another adventure with you ❤️⚓️

Welcome back! I absolutely love following your reviews and am looking forward to this one. Just a bit sad that it may be your last. Good luck as you interview for a new role at work ❤️⚓️

The problem with that is that for a little bit more I can take two shorter, (3, 4, 5 day), cruises for the cost of one 7/8 day cruise 🤷

You're still better off with a longer cruise for the reasons I said and others are saying. Better ports on longer cruises too.

They don't usually release them this far in advance anymore. Prior to the pandemic, the itineraries would come out about 2 years prior, but in the past few years they've had to alter a lot of itineraries, so now they wait longer. NCL also used to give you extra Latitudes Points for booking one year in advance. Sadly, that has gone away too ☹️ I've had tonlearn to be more patient with my bookings now. Difficult since I only get to cruise every two years.

I love sea days and longer cruises, but both these are too short for my liking. Both will likely be filled with lots of kids and younger people partying. I would suggest looking at at least a 7-day. The price per day is often better when cruises are longer, and then you can do a better comparison of ports and cruiselines. 

Happy Belated Birthday, Yvonne! 🎉🎂 I don't get the chance to get on here every day, but I'm loving your review as usual. Do you have another trip to Alaska planned so you can reschedule the whale watching trip?

Welcome back, Michelle! I remember your last review well, so I'm really happy that you were able to get a do-over on The Elation! I'm really looking forward to following along again ❤️⚓️

Welcome back, Matthew and Susan! I'm excited to follow along again. Did you finish your last review? I think I missed the conclusion. I love The Sun, and I love that Brian Walters is still running the ship. Love Harry as well! I can't remember if it was The Sun or The Dawn that I last caught him on ❤️⚓️
