Ivan's is gone. Tried to post a pic but can't do it....

Edited: I've long thought that the two deck 10 non suite aft balcony cabins were probably the best value on the Dawn. They seem to book very fast!!

I say infamous because I've found quite a few posts, this one included, about aft balconies on 10 being a great deal. Who doesn't love a nice aft??

I followed your Escape review before my April 2016 sailing & I was so excited to come back to CC and find a DougOut review of the Dawn! I booked the Dawn a few weeks ago for a Feb 2019 sailing out of San Juan.

My question is in regard to your upsell.We're booked in the infamous 10230 aft balcony. I really liked your Family Suite/balcony. What were you originally booked in & how much for the upsell? I'm thinking the aft balcony is going to be tight for 3 (2 adults, 1 child) & I'm debating on booking bigger now or waiting until closer to sail time.

Thanks for a great weekend read Doug! I'm glad I found it on a Fri night. I had the whole weekend to read!

:cool::cool::cool:- there's your missing sunglasses

I'm going to email them because don't see departure time and return times on website.

I'm pretty sure it's 10-4ish.

We're doing a full day sail/snorkel to St. John with New Horizons. $75 pp and good reviews on here & Trip Advisor.

Just talked to NCL and was told they are canceling some of the shows and moving times around. We are on the April 16 Escape sailing. Was also told to keep checking my NCL for the booking times and dates to reappear, and if not booked there can try to book onboard...which I was trying hard to avoid[emoji53]. Did check for up sells while I was on the phone and managed to get a balcony guarantee for a great price..so not all bad today!

Congrats on the upsell! We're on that sailing as well. Was it an upsell or an upgrade? I thought upsells were 2-3 weeks before cruising? Must've been your lucky day!

What dining options are available for lunch on embarkation day? I'm looking for opinions on what the best options out there. Specialty? Buffet? MDR? Any embarkation lunch menus available? Thanks in advance!

Just my luck. I'm 90 days and want to make my reservations!

Anyone else experiencing log in problems for My NCL?

Mini suite gty 8114. Any info is appreciated!

Being able to choose a stateroom ahead of time is not what a guarantee is. The guarantee is that you'll be placed by NCL in any mini suite (or possibly better) anywhere on board and the actual assignment could happen weeks before your sailing or even the day before you sail. Read the paragraph on NCL.com that states what a mini suite MX entails and it will confirm what I am stating.

I booked my gty mini suite yesterday. My confirmation email had my assigned cabin listed, 8114. Was that cabin number given because it is a "token" MX cabin and my actual cabin might differ or that's my assigned cabin and it won't change?

I too switched to an MX cabin after the price drop, except from an MA to an MX. It is my understanding there are two MX cabins, 8114 and 8714.

 

It's the same as the other Large Balcony Mini-Suite Cabins on Deck 8 from what I have read, the only difference is it is all the way forward. The cabin mini-suite next to it is basically identical but is $300 cheaper a person.

 

I believe it has loungers and a table and chairs.

Sweet! or should I say Suite lol

I just booked 8114 (MX). Same large balcony?! I've got my fingers crossed.

I upgraded from a balcony (BE) to guarantee mini suite (MX) today due to the price drop. I kept my UBP & SDP and getting refund of $95. My reservation confirmation lists cabin 8114. I thought cabin assignments would come later?! Is this a large balcony where you can fit a lounger? Anyone see any posts regarding this cabin? Thanks in advance :)

I didn't even think of daylight savings time! Phew. I didn't want to be pressed for time. Thank you :)

Cruising on the Escape in April and we're in St Thomas 8-6. I assume this is ship time. I've booked a day sail with New Horizons, leaving out of Sapphire Marina at 10 (st thomas time), returning at 4. I emailed New Horizons and they said I shouldn't have a problem getting to the marina on time. I'd like to prearrange transport to and from the ship. If we're in port at 8 (9 STT time) will we be off the ship by 930 for pickup?

If you click on "make a payment", your balance due is correct. Mine was...

I'm cruising in April. I booked a fly, snooze & cruise package through goportcanaveral.com. Airport to hotel transfer, hotel to port transfer, port to airport transfer & 1 night at Stay Bridge Suites for 4 people. Total $256. Transportation is through Travelynx. Seems like a good deal to me. Anyone have any experience with goportcanaveral.com?
