Thanks!

Hi!

Super excited going on the Anthem in March.

I was on the Oasis 2 years ago, we are more familiar with NCL we have been on many of there ships.

Few questions:

1. On Oasis they had some things to do with the kids (with the parents) my son won't do the kids club, not sure why but he won't we tried on NCL a few times. When we were on the Oasis he was not potty trained and they wanted to put him in the baby room, so that was not a good idea for us. We did goto a few science type classes with him.. was wondering if that is an option.. if anyone has the kids club/non kids club activity sheets that would be helpful. Just want to see if I need to bring somethings to keep him occupied. 4yo, and he is on the spectrum...

2. Does the Anthem have the character breakfast like Oasis? If so where do you book it? I don't see it on the site anywhere in the planner.

3. Has anyone done the Cabana at CocoBay? We were looking at that.. see we can't book on the site yet, was wondering if anyone has booked on board... is it worth it?

4. All access Tour has anyone done it worth the money?

5. What nights are formal dinner night or Captians night? Do they have a really good menu that night ? Lobster, escargot ? My husband thinks he recalls that happening...

I did try to search the site for some of these, but I could not find much on the kids info.

Thanks in advance for any help!

hi we are thinking of booking this cruise but curious what goes on for Christmas and NYE?

Do they have any special events to make it special for the kids?

We have never sailed the Gem what shows do they have?

We’ve been on Epic, Breakaway, Getaway, and the Escape

Ok I have a question:

I have two rooms booked a Balcony and a Inside Cabin. We are total 4 people I am on a casino comp.

I got the bid, and was going to bid for a haven that has room for 4 people. That way if my bid wins, I will cancel with small fee, the inside cabin and put us all in one room. It is my husband, me, son and friend to help with my son.

I keep re-reading and don't know if I get an accepted offer, that I can add the additional 4th person. I did speak to someone and she said yes, but the room I would cancel I would only get 75% back. But on the website in terms and conditions it states something different. That any changes to the itinerary after the bid is accepted is term. So who is right?

Has anyone changed there room added someone after winning a bid?

Thanks in advance!

I booked right through NCL. Booking from US.

Thank you!

Now does that mean even though I got a special I should call them and say what about this OBC special can I get that?

What is OBC stand for?

I just booked NCL breakaway for November "Free Tax Special" and I have the NCL bliss booked for a few months now (booked it when I was on the Escape).

NCL is offering OBC for balconies & above on many cruises 5 plus days in length. We were able to have $100 OBC added to our Sept 30, 2018 Bliss 5 day Pacific Coastal cruise. There was no change in our cruise fare.

 

OBC amounts are $100 for balcony, $140 for mini suite, $300 to $500 for suites/haven.

I know on the Escape they didn't have baby sitter service.

I am curious if the Breakaway still has baby sitting services.

We are booked August 2018 for Seattle-Alaska!

He won't be able to leave on his own....no worries about that!

 

And it's true....kids in diapers are NOT allowed in any pool. Adults in diapers, either! NO diapers in any pool. I don't know if Getaway has a "splash" area for diapered kids.....

We have been on the Breakaway, Getaway and Escape. First time we are using the kids club. The kids area/kids pool they can be in Swim Ups. Adults go in that pool, but it is a "kids" area designation. My son really just likes the water park area with the guns and slides and stuff. The kiddie area.

Thank you everyone.

Great on the Potty Training. He wears pull ups and is training but I know new element he is not going to ask to go. So I am good with a pager.

We are only planning 2 hours in the AM and 2 hours in the afternoon, so he can get out of the sun and pool and play with some other kids, and do activities. I think it will be great for him.

I did speak to access desk, and they said it all varies on how many kids they have if they would be able to take him because they do not do one on one, which I figured as much. I just need to make sure he can't get out of anywhere. I will check it out and see how comfortable I feel before I do anything. But I hear nothing but great things about it so I would like to see him have fun.

Hi!

We are heading on the Escape and I had some questions for anyone who has used the Youth Program. We never used it before. Thinking my son might like to interact with children for a little bit in structured activities. He does well in that environment.

1. Does anyone have a Daily for the Escape for 3 year old program?

2. Has anyone had there Autistic Child in the program?

3. Do children need to be potty trained to go to the kids program?

If anyone has any other information they would like to provide please let me know.
