We have been on 2 partial charters. First was a bunch of swingers.. very interesting t shirts and more. They where fine for the most part. The second was a bunch of rappers and those guests where very disrespectful. It was the worst cruise... I mean we made the best of it but the crowd was horrible

thanks...

I'm a newbie to NCL anyone have any suggestions of where to go and what to order. I have the 4 meal package

Well we rebooked. Moved to a 5 day out of Orlando on the Valor. It will work out but still not happy. The compensation was a joke. Even our PVP said so. He said he has never seen a ship become charted in less than a years notice.

I love Guys burger!!! I'm gonna miss the taco joint though. I'm a huge fan of them. I eat the breakfast burrito just about every morning back on my balcony. So it will be missed. I agree I want to wish winter away but I enjoy my summers.

Question.... am I missing reviews? I have yet to find any on the boards. I was hoping for a detailed review on here. I do see some on the review section but not the forums. Am I missing them??

Thanks... I think this is what we will be booking. I'm excited it's getting Guys and the new bars. I wish it was getting waterworks for the grands as it will he there first cruise. Kinda weird it's getting Guys but no Taco bar Or maybe it's normal to have one and not the other??

I can't find on John's Heald's Facebook page where they talk about whats going on with the Valor. Our cruise just got cancelled due to a charter so looking to possibly book her but I want to know what she is getting so I can compare ships as we look to rebook

Just put up a Jade review from my Jan 2 cruise. I think it's a pretty balanced assessment of the Jade.

THANKS I will be looking for it today

I'm glad we found out now vs sooner. It's just very stressful trying to replan for a party of 8 when I had things bought and booked as it was a Christmas gift. I know anything can and will happen. The $25 OBC is major salt in the wound if you ask me. All the work I already did and will have to redo and I'm not comming out ahead. I already had OBC banked. We will have a wonderful time no matter what. Just stinks when we had so much planned and paid in advance.

Too close for me as I booked other stuff already and this was a gift.

I'm looking now. It was just perfect we could spend 2 days pre cruise exploring Nola. Already booked rooms for $75 a night - killer deal! Then cruise for 4 days. All of this and my son misses 1 day of school. Now everything we find he misses 2 or more.

25 per person OBC. Lame!!! I had that much already banked from sales.

Just got a letter from CCL saying our cruise is canceled due it being now Chartered. This is horrible news for is as we have so much already booked and now back to the drawing board. It's super hard to find a time where my youngest does not miss a bunch of school and this was the perfect fit. Top it off this was our Christmas gift to my oldest and his family. I'm so very sad

I think your right about the first 24 hours but I may of been asking if I felt that strongly at the time.

OH MY... sure sounds like a "memorable" cruise. I hope you get this resolved to your satisfaction.

I'm not sure how I would feel in this situation. While I understand anything can and will happen.... and I would still be grateful to on vacation vs at work but...

~ I would be very upset if my family was moved when we expected to be next door especially in attached balconies.

~ I would be upset that my room flooded and I had fan everywhere.

~ I would be LIVID to find my door left open with no one tending to my room.

All this move your stuff to your dads room is not up to my satisfaction either. What a pain that would be.

You could invoke your vacation guarantee and we asked to be removed off the ship?? I really hope you where able to make lemonade out of these lemons!!! I do understand where your upset!

We own that cot and love it. Our 4 year old uses it all the time, at Grandparents house, camping at hotels.

 

We just returned from a cruise and I packed the cot, but we ended up not using it. I thought that the 2 year old would sleep in the pac n play and the 4 year old on the cot and that we would have more room.

 

But, we actually pulled the sofa bed out and they both LOVED sleeping on it and they slept very well together. Even for naps!

I was hoping our rooms had a sofa bed then we would put the kids there for sure. But no sofa on our room. We are thinking the 3.5 year old "may" be OK in the upper but the 18month old will not be.

We are just trying to think of all options.

I'm so sad its almost over! I always love your reviews.

I'm taking my little grandsons on the Big Boat this Oct. They will be 18 month and 3.5. Please give me your best advice so I can pass it on to there mom and dad. I'm super excited to be doing a family cruise yet nervous about how it will go with the kids being so young.

Our next cruise is on NCL this March too.. would love to be sailing with you for a few High Five's. Do let us know over here when your review is posted incase we forget to check over there!

Drury Inn - can't beat the perks at this chain. Breakfast, quasi-dinner (bar food), 3 drinks at happy hour, free long distance and wifi all included. Plus this particular location is in a stunning building.

We love the Drury it's our go to each time in town. I love the perks they give you. I don't love the prices keep going up. 5 years ago we paid less than $100 now it's close to $200 per night. Everything goes up and up these days :(

We have talked about pulling the mattress as well. I just though the cot would take up less room. I also don't want to see the steward having to deal with moving the mattress over and over. To me that's out of his job discription.

I found this travel cot at Walmart today. I was thinking it might be ideal for the grandkids as they may not fair well in the uppers and better than the floor. I also figured if mom and dad could train them now to sleep in it doing so on vacation might not be such a shock???? Thoughts

cruisedeckplans.com may help you.....;)

Thanks.. I think this was what I was looking for. Off to investigate.

There used to be a site where I could go find info on each cruise ship (besides GoCCL as we can no longer access) such as which stateroom are connecting, which balconies open to the next, where the laundry is etc. I swear I had it booked marked but low and behold I cant find it.

Any ideas where I can go look?

within 5 mins I received my price protection form. My cruise cost went up a tad but still came out ahead with the OBC. I debated sending in the form at all as I was not sure how it would work.

Now to just wait for the prices to go down so I can get back what I lost and keep my OBC!!

Just booked the Hyatt rengency for $74 a night via LMT CLUB

Not sure about putting personal info on here. Bye for now.

you can email me at ( take out spaces) partywithheather @ outlook ( hope its OK to share here and I'm not breaking the rules) Make sure to put something in the subject line so I can find it if it goes to junk.
