Latitude Discount Excursion Heads up
yakcruiser replied to shanefm3's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Is this really that big of issue? I must be more out of touch than I thought. -
NCL Escape: Is this a cruise ship or a floating casino?
yakcruiser replied to albatros1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Hopefully NCL will start enclosing the smoking areas on their smaller ships as they get a chance. Of course, some anti-smoking fanatics will complain about have to visually see the smokers. And in all fairness, there are some smokers that will complain about having to smoke in a glass cage. As someone who smoked for 43 years and has been a non-smoker for five, I have met folks on both sides of the argument who think it's their right to impose their views (or smoke) on everybody else. -
NCL Escape: Is this a cruise ship or a floating casino?
yakcruiser replied to albatros1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Do you really believe that if NCL could make more money by banning smoking in the casino they wouldn't do it? This is the same company that has eliminated hash browns and cookies to save a dime. -
NCL Escape: Is this a cruise ship or a floating casino?
yakcruiser replied to albatros1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I'm sure they have done numerous studies to find out if they could make more money by banning smoking and have determined that smokers spend more money in the casino. Enclosed areas seem like the way to please the most people. Also the casinos are one of the biggest revenue generators on the ship. Why would they want to move it off into a corner somewhere? -
LAX is probably the worst port if you need to get off the ship quick. I definitely would change it.

I went from Motril to Granada on a private tour this time last year. There were many NCL buses doing the same excursion. If their bus (two people) was held up by the rainstorm, why weren't the NCL buses held up?

Now those are lamb chops!

The lamb is very tasty, but you only get one single lonely chop.

NCL dropped a destination weeks before cruising
yakcruiser replied to Ruttrowg's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Not hype. Very relevant. Some folks who do not get to cruise 7 or 8 times a year due to work or financial constraints choose their cruises very carefully and itineraries are very important to them.- 113 replies

NCL dropped a destination weeks before cruising
yakcruiser replied to Ruttrowg's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
On the Joy? I have been looking at that one. They have not been messing with the Panama Canal cruises other than dropping a Central American port or two. I should have added a yet in there somewhere. -
Oh, for the love of Cookies! Say it ain't so...
yakcruiser replied to Birdnutty's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I would eat the yummy looking spread and the chocolate covered strawberries. And just about anything else left in my cabin that didn't belong to the vegetable family. -

yakcruiser replied to Ruttrowg's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Yup! That's why they replaced Costa Rica on a number of cruises with Acapulco. "For Safety" -
Not for me. I wanted to add a trip before long one as B2B. Oh well, at least our rooms should be ready when we board in Tampa.
-
And it looks like it's going to deadhead to Tampa for the 25-day cruise. Yuck!

Goodbye NCL and Possibly Cruising Altogether Rant One

Can't wait to read the review on the State Park website complaining about the bears and raccoons stealing your food and disturbing your solitude.- 233 replies

I know there is a 0% chance of my Sept 2025 cruise stopping at Bar Harbor, but I'm genuinely interested in how long they will continue to market Bar Harbor as a stop.
-
It looks like part of researching future cruises will be going to all port websites and seeing if the particular ship we are looking at is actually scheduled to be there.
-
Not yet. I keep looking. Curious to what they're going to put before the 25-day cruise. My PCC doesn't know either and she says she usually finds out a couple days before they update their website.

Four of us rented a taxi for the day for a $150 I believe. He took us to 4 different sites. It was a good day, but you had to close your eyes while he was driving.

Encore Observation lounge to be redone like the Joy?
yakcruiser replied to justhappy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
The Spinnaker lounges on the Jewel class will be next.
