The coin pushers are near the Player's Club. Not sure if Flintstones are still there but they were on a wall opposite the Players Club.

Sky overcrowded since kids are back in school?
Coastalbreezes replied to mlbcruiser's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I was on a 7-day Sky cruise at the end of August. We sailed at about 60% capacity. There were no crowds anywhere I went (dining, theater, bars, activities). From what I heard, it's the shorter (3 and 4-night cruises) that tend to be full. -
Help me choose please; Onda vs Ocean Blue
Coastalbreezes replied to Warm-Water Diver's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Since Onda is only on a few ships I'd choose it over Ocean Blue. Both are delicious but lately I have found Ocean Blue to be hit or miss with the food. Onda is consistently excellent. -
Everything... project Leonardo/Prima class!
Coastalbreezes replied to FreestyleNovice's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Prima's scheduled arrival in NY is 7:00 a.m. October 5th not in the evening. -
This is fantastic news! Thanks for sharing it with us.

There are several entrances to the Getaway casino. I suppose you could say the "main" entrance area is near the decks 6-7-8 glass staircases. If you are looking for a meeting spot for your slot pull, depending on how many people you have joining, you could choose a spot near the forward or aft elevators or somewhere near the cashiers or Player's Club.

Premium Plus Beverage Plus Package question
Coastalbreezes replied to pbenjamin's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Remember too that both you and your husband would have to get the P+ upgrade. You can't just get it for one person in the cabin. -
Thanks for a thorough review. I'll be on Sky for the first time next Sunday (7 days) and while I usually cruise the larger ships I do enjoy the smaller ships and am looking forward to this adventure.

Type of drinks w/CAS free drink card?
Coastalbreezes replied to kemarie13's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Note that when ordering drinks in the casino, servers will scan your cabin key card (not your casino drink card) so if you do have the beverage package you'll automatically get drinks up to $15 value or if you have premium plus package you can get anything you want. If you plan on 3-5 drinks per day you might consider getting the package with your booking. Otherwise you'll pay for every drink individually plus a gratuity. -
Parking near Manhatten Cruise Terminal in NYC
Coastalbreezes replied to dawcruiser's topic in East Coast Departures
Parking at the Manhattan Cruise Terminal is $40/night but is the closest and easiest-to-navigate place. There are garages that are less expensive some blocks away but if you are looking for convenience, parking right at the terminal would be your best bet. A Google search of nearby places will show you some other options. -
Sharing suite benefits / connecting rooms

Sharing suite benefits / connecting rooms
Coastalbreezes replied to OriginalBoat's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
To be clear, your experience is NOT the norm. -
Yes there is an enclosed smoking casino on Prima which looks exactly like other ships.

Sharing suite benefits / connecting rooms
Coastalbreezes replied to OriginalBoat's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
In a nutshell, only suite guests are entitled to suite benefits. Just because a family member is in a connecting non-suite does not afford you any extras. That being said you will likely be able to board and disembark together as a family. -
Bermuda Website Error for Getaway
Coastalbreezes replied to smillerholmes's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I'd call Bermuda. I had some issues with the authorization back in June and when I called the person that answered was friendly and helpful and the problem was fixed in minutes. -
Alongside David will be Virginia Brotherton sharing concierge duties for a few months.

Latitudes Specialty Restaurant Vouchers
Coastalbreezes replied to FredZiffle's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It is true across the fleet and I like having additional choices for specialties now. -
Sail & Sustain Mixology Experience
Coastalbreezes replied to Sea saw 56's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You make it sound like they are serving you rotting food. Not the case at all! On many ships a Sail & Sustain Cocktail of the day is offered at various bars and some of them are quite delicious. -
Agree completely -- they should have been banned. At one point after their slanderous video, they posted pictures (on their FB page) and congratulated a couple for hanging handmade "Wanted" posters of Adrian all around the ship for "being mean" to them. Absolutely shameful.
-
Upon check in you will be given a card with a boarding number. After the groups mentioned by Casofilia, then they board by the group numbers.

Quite true and sadly he has left NCL.

Just have to respond to the nasty comments especially about pork rinds. I bring them for my Filipino crew friends. Perhaps I should have clarified (which means make a statement or situation less confused and more clearly comprehensible) to help with your understanding. After 100 cruises, 80 on NCL I've become close with many crew members and tend to sail the same ships again and again. Prior to sailing I reach out and always ask if there's anything I can bring. The answers are usually the same: items they cannot get on board such as Doritos, pistachios etc. Some ask for hair gels or special shampoos, others (believe it or not) ask for feminine products because they are so expensive on board. On holidays I bring gift bags too. Oh the horror! Bottom line is yes cash IS king but the rude and snarky comments are so easy to dispense as many of hide behind an internet veil. There is nothing wrong with kindness towards others and it is how I choose to live my life. As a frequent cruiser I am very aware of how hard crew members work to make my vacation enjoyable and I will continue to bring my gifts and yes, tip well.

On every cruise I bring snacks like Doritos, Cheetos, pork rinds, chocolates etc. Treats like this are always appreciated. I tip at the end too. If you want to bring a small gift bag of goodies go right ahead and don't let the naysayers convince you otherwise.
