so glad to hear a positive review. I am looking forward to it

This is hilarious. Looks like closing on the ship is going to be more of a venture for me than exploring the Mediterranean ...thanks for the laugh !

greetings.

Cruising with friends on June 21st epic Mediteranean cruise from Rome.

This was a last minute decision so we Have a guaranteed mini suite and my friend guarantee balcony..... has anyone ever done this on the epic ?I'm just curious what it's like to have a guaranteed room we've never done that before.i usually plan in advance so I'm able to pick my room .also, anyone have any insight regarding this particular cruise. any tips excursions , transfers from the airport , what to do and what not to do. The ship.. etc..this is the first European cruise for me and feeling a little anxious ..I'm more a Caribbean girl ...your responses are greatly appreciated

been on breakaway 3 x. yes, the restaurants do get crowded. Book before you board... Food is pretty good in 2 free restaurants. savor & taste. Main dining ok, they have live music nightly, its ok ...2 shows are good. make reservations in advance.hope this helps

Im leaving for breakaway on 21/. what is use of UBP?

this is a great idea. tx

Sailing in Feb. Interested in Breakaway thermal spa. Do they have day passes and do they have promotions for the pass on board?. TX

thanks for the info. Now I will enjoy the cruise

thanks for your response. we will be in 8766. we usually book a rm dead center, mid ship. How did you find the stability? your rm was more forward than ours.

This is our 3rd cruise on the Breakaway. Great ship!. We usually book a cabin on 10,11th deck. This time we have one on the 8th(mid ship,balcony) deck. This floor has some clubs & restaurants and I"m concerned with ambient noise.I would like your opinion if you have stayed deck 8.. TY

hbe, ship sails from nyc

thanks for your response

April42749,sounds like you had a pleasant trip....we are taking this cruise 9/24.. never been on this type of cruise. Usually, we head straight to the beach.. Someone mentioned the pool is heated on the ship, is this true?.. cruise sounds like good photo trip...this info was very helpful

heading up north from NYC on the gem.. Canada on 9/24 .. How are the 2 night clubs Spinnaker & Bliss?..Do they have good Music & what time does it start.... your feedback is appreciated.

thanks easyboy.. seems like most of the tours are geared toward photography. It is in the eye of the person taking the pictures...

jm485.. thanks for your input this was helpful in making a decision.

disneygirl, I did pre-book. thanks for letting me know about the complimentary body scrub. I can smell the Lavender already....

thanks, I did see that tour I will look into it

I am interested in booking an excursion while in St John/ Bay of Fundy. NCL is offering the "Bay of Fundy Coastal Photography tour ". The guide is a ]photographer. Has anyone taken this tour?.... My plan for this cruise was to take some beautiful pictures and this one seems perfect.

Also, any suggestions for other excursions while visiting Canada & the New England states are welcome

Aldeye,I saw a u-tube post of the Gem spa on this website. go to forum NCL Gem it is posted there

NCL is offering unlimited use of thermal spa for $129 (pre-booked)... If anyone has used this service I would like to know if it's worth it.

this is good new regarding the weather.... when I"m on vacation, I do not want to pack winter boots. I am taking my camera, sounds like I will be coming home with beautiful pictures. ty

yes, I also needed a change. Have a great time

Sounds like you have been there. Great info!, did not know the pool was heated. you just made my day

Thanks Cole, I"m hoping for high 70's.. I won't be using the pool this time around. Have wonderful cruise!
