Do you prefer sailing on newer or older NCL ships?
AKR2011 replied to asouthey1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I love both. Smaller ships have always had a different show the the theater each night with no reservations needed, while bigger ships had fancier shows and also other venues with different entertainment and other bells and whistles. However, now there are cutbacks and entertainment on smaller ships seems to be going down. I don't want my nightly show to be a movie or game show, but that seems to be the direction that NCL is going. And bigger ships seem to be pulling the nicer shows, which makes the other venues get flooded with people. While I am excited for a bigger ship on my next cruise, I worry that the crowds may make ne turn away from NCL completely. It's really sad as I love the product and always have had a great cruise, but other lines are looking pretty nice. To answer your question though, both are great. It all depends on where they are going. -
Welcome back! I'm excited to follow along on another one of your adventures. I also refuse to buy groceries for about a week before vacation. By the night before we're running around trying to tackle that to do list and usually grab pizza when we run out for last minute essentials. By that point we're sick of eating weird food. I love that your son looks for hpy hour specials for you. You will definitely be making some lovely memories together this week! Safe travels ❤️⚓️

Live from the Breakaway March 17-31, 2024
AKR2011 replied to YVRteacher's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It sounds like you enjoyed your excursion. I did that exact one years ago and remember the bus ride being so long. I took a very long nap on the way ba k to the port. However, the spice farm was a big highlight. Ruins were meh to me, only because I had seen amazing ones the day before in Costa Maya. -

Howl at the Moon was one of the biggest reasons we booked The Breakaway for our next cruise. We had so much fun with them on The Escape years ago. With a lot of entertainment dwindling on NCL, I'm glad that we can count on Howl at the Moon for a few nights at least. -

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I always pack seasick pills just in case. I would never expect them to be provided. I guess it's a nice gesture, but I throw them in my suitcase along with other "just in case" meds like Excedrin, Pepto Bismol, Emergen-C packs, and some kind of cold meds. Anyone else do the same?- 290 replies

I can't believe people entering a school can be so insensitive in this day and age when everyone seems to be on the DEI train. Your poor student and aide! They are lucky to have you standing up for them, but like others have said, this absolutely never should have happened. -

That's the rebellious fish! It's a yummy drink that used to be a drink of the day. You can usually find a bartender that will make it or you. -

TxTeach79's Norwegian Sun Spring Break Shorty LIVE - 3/13/24
AKR2011 replied to TxTeach79's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Welcome back! DH and I sailed on The Sun 10 years ago, and it is an all time favorite of ours. I know times have changed, but she is a nice little ship. The crew back then was our absolute favorite, and there were some fun venues for such a small ship. Happy sails ❤️⚓️ -

I took a road trip a couple years ago and stopped at Uranus. Not a ton to see, but yes, the fudge was delicious! We enjoyed exploring the Rte. 66 bus there. -

I'm looking forward to following along. A few years ago DH won a lot of on board credit playing Deal or No Deal, and we spent it going to all these classes. They were fabulous! Have an amazing cruise ❤️⚓️ -

Breakaway: 2/4 on the Breakawy: a wordy brief review.
AKR2011 replied to FitchburgWIFamily's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Thank you for the review! The Breakaway is my next ship...639 days away! 😆 You handled The Waterfront issue just fine. DH and I are always playing games. Some are quiet, some are louder. But we don't play any games in quiet spaces. The Waterfront is NOT a quiet space and is meant for socializing. Props to the crew for supporting you ❤️⚓️ -
I work way too much to keep up with CC, but this was another fabulous Live, Megan! Thank you so much for taking us along ❤️⚓️
