Takoyaki

April 15th

21 days!!!

Cannot wait for a much needed disconnect 

Happy and safe sailing everyone!

Out of curiosity what restaurants or dishes did you have? 

Thanks everyone! 

Bit the bullet and bought the balcony just to be safe and get that view

Looking to book a sort of last minute (3 weeks out) cruise, plan to go either way but prefer a balcony. Have the money now for an ocean view but pending a few things may be able to afford the balcony. Is it possible to book through my PCC then if everything goes through just pay the difference in room prices or are upgrades only bidding? If they are bid only is 3 weeks out too late to get an offer to bid?

TIA

You are only seeing two seaters because there are only two seaters available. The electric cars for rent in Bermuda are limited by law to the two seat minicars and by law to only two occupants. So even if you were a family of three small people it would not be allowed.

Thanks!

I was thinking that may be the case but I saw some 4 seaters for sale and got confused. May just consider renting 2 or a scooter and a mini car then.

Appreciate the help!

Planning to be in Bermuda in April and would absolutely love to rent an electric vehicle to do some sight seeing on our own terms, but we are a family of 3 and all I am seeing is 2 seaters. I am also 6'2'' and a bit chubby if that changes anything. any advice?

TIA

I fell in love with the French 75 on our last cruise. It's basically a Tom Collins with champagne or proseco instead of soda water

Very interesting because sail safe says 12 and over but if you go to book a cruise it still says 5 and over. I understand regulations but at least be consistent 

Good to know. We will have our 4yo daughter but she's calm and LOVES traveling and if she's riled up we can always watch a movie in the room or something 

Thank you everyone this has been so helpful! 

Now it seems like whichever option we pick we will keep the specialty dining perk so we will have more options for dinners.

I've seen a few posts a out the Haven on pearl but still have some questions. 

Do both Haven and S class suites get priority embarkation?

Do Haven get a special dinner option since there isn't a Haven restaurant? 

Have you felt the courtyard was spacious enough?

Is there any sort of food/drink service at all in the Haven courtyard? 

Thanks in advance 

Thanks everyone. Gonna look to sail either before she turns 5 or after vaxxed. Appreciate the answers

5 year olds must be fully vaccinated. 
 

Effective for sailings March 1, 2022 and beyond.

For all cruises departing and/or returning to US ports:

All guests age five and over, as well as all crew, must be fully vaccinated, at least 2 weeks prior to departure, in order to board. While we welcome unvaccinated children ages four and under onboard, it is the responsibility of the guest to be aware of any local protocols and/or travel restrictions in place at the visiting destinations at the time of sailing.

Ok that's what I saw too, I was just curious if anyone had any experience with our birthday situation 

If a child hasn't been 5 long enough to be fully vaxxed is there an exemption

 For example my daughter turns 5 early April so if we sail on the 20th she couldn't possibly be 2 weeks past 2nd dose. Any info would be much appreciated 

I say the Getaway is cursed!

Our trip was plagued by arrival changes and poor communication of that fact (had a blast after the struggles of day 1)

They are screwing over that trans atlantic

now this....

You never know about the weather. It could be quite warm! I'll tell you, my dad wears short sleeves until November sometimes. I'm in Montreal and you never quite know what the weather will be like in September. Sometimes it's warmer than July! You could still wear those things, you just never know. Better to pack with a sweater and sneakers and not need them 😃

we were in Montreal(quite possibly my favorite vacation spot) last September and I sweat so much walking around, had to be high 80s, and 2 years before drove though a snowstorm on the way up around the same time!

I would totally sit on a sundeck with cocktail in hand and be quite happy up that way, granted I like the colder weather

Also curious. Have an issue from my cruise last week I'd like address.

after more digging I found a thread from like 2015 that listed this email

guestrelations@ncl.com

hope its still active

Good luck on your hunt and hopefully you get a swift and happy resolution

When I check the site for an email I get a form to fill out. I would prefer to send an email directly so I have it in my outbox as well and can CC people on it if possible.

Does anyone know what the email address for guest/customer service is?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks everyone. Bought it. I'm the sole planner so she wont see it 🙂

When you purchase it you do it in the name of the person who's birthday it is right?

DIY? Wifes birthday is during our next cruise. She would absolutely love the surprise room decorating. 

Has anyone here paid for it? If so how were the decorations and timing?

I would rather spend the extra and have it work very well but if ncl doesnt do a great job I'll do it on my own.

TIA for any input 🙂

Thank you for the insight!

" check in " begins at noon with " boarding" at 2:00 is a realistic timeframe.

 

Boarding and check in at noon doesn't even make sense, considering  check in always comes first.

 

I agree, TA called again and was now told check in at noon boarding begins around 1.

I see a park with a playground next to the pier, maybe I will just go early and worst case take my daughter to the playground until check in hah.

As an update:

My TA spoke to NCL last night and was told boarding and check in begin at noon

Someone in roll call called this morning and was told ship wont arrive to NY until 2 and boarding begins then.

Last year I sailed on the Escape out of Manhattan. It was arriving empty from Florida. The evening before the cruise, NCL sent out texts and calls telling passengers not to arrive before noon. 

The ship had to wait for the tide to go out to be able to pass under the Verizzano bridge. Being empty, it was riding higher and that affected the clearance.

Interesting!

Tides are low at 6:40am high 12:45 and low again at 6:30pm so let's home they are not going to wait for 6:30pm lol
