Avila looks right for us.  I messaged on Facebook but the responses are from an AI 🙄

I then followed an email link and asked some questions.  Will see what happens.

We will be in Curaçao two nights…3/11 & 3/12.

Dobiemom…texting iphone to iPhone works on ship?  Without purchasing internet packages?

can you clarify? 

Thanks everyone.

Booked a last minute 9 day Caribbean from Fort Lauderdale 3/8-17.

Cabin C1150

After looking at deck plans it’s not under any music venues.

Fingers crossed!

Thoughts on booking a deck 1 cabin? We’ve never stayed that low before…but that’s all that’s available for Ocean View  last minute Caribbean itineraries.

Anyone stayed on deck 1? 
Pros and cons?

Mature couple…booked in ocean view cabin on Seascape 1/6/2024

We’ve cruised many times with NCL, RCCL, Princess and HAL..always ocean view or balcony.

I’ve spent a few days reading the MSC boards.

I’m interested in reading personal experiences and observations from passengers NOT in the Yacht Club.

Anyone on here in ocean view and inside cabins willing to share?

THANKS 🙂

Ok

got it

thanks everyone

That is not a Roll Call drop down list, it's just a filter tool that searches these forum threads for the particular ship name.  The proximity to the Roll Call link is confusing. 

Ok

thanks

Seascape isn’t on the list though.

Why is Seascape not on the Roll Call drop down list?

I was only able to book all the specialty restaurants for our 6/27 Greek Islands cruise by making a phone call to NCL. Only a couple were showing as available online, but when I called I was able to reserve each one at my choice of day/time...including La Cucina. Soon after the call, all reservations appeared on MyNCL summary.

We have UDP & UBP as free promos.

......to Ambelonas?

Where to get one? How much to expect to pay? We are scheduled at the restaurant/vineyard for a 2-3 hour "lunch experience" at 35 euros per person. Don't really want to spend too much on cab fare :(

We're on the Jade 6/27...Greek Islands.

Looking forward to your insights :)

Have been in contact with Vasiliki at Ambelonas...they are not normally open on Mondays but will accommodate my husband and me for lunch...sent a menu @ 35 euro each and asked for our preferences. They advertise a 2 1/2 hour experience including lunch and a tour of the property. About a 20 min. taxi ride...maybe $20 euro? Hoping to make a deal for a round trip at the cruise terminal.

Any recent info on Ambelonas...which seems to be a farm/vineyard/restaurant?

Anyone have an idea on taxi fare?

Yes

Usually snacks...small sandwiches...fruit...cheese...chips...dessert...never a whole meal...never leftovers from the dining room.

We've never ordered from room service and certainly won't now at $7.95!

Agree with others about the treating us like kinders mentality of these recent rules. These kind of things will make me look more critically before booking again.

We've sailed NCL about 10 times and have a Greek Islands cruise coming up in July. After that, who knows :(

Just my 2 cents...

We have sailed the Sky about 5 times over the last ten years...mature couple...and my parents have been on it twice as much...very mature couple. We've only ever done the 4 night...Monday to Friday. There has never been anything even remotely "booze cruise" or "party boat" about any of our past cruises. We've had our young adult children...20-30 year olds with us for a family event and they definitely did not consider the Sky a party boat :)

I have always thought the 3 dayers over the weekend...for any cruise line...would attract the booze party set.

Bump...interested in all these comments.

Bump...just now looking at options for a Greek Islands cruise with a family meet-up in Dubrovnik and these comments are all very helpful.

Bumping this thread up...any recent experiences to share?

Anyone know if there is an on board bag check location for folks not checking at the curb? We've done this on NCL when we want to unpack and change as soon as staterooms are open rather than play the bag delivery waiting game.

My question about boarding times is related to the specific times and decks listed in the email...from 11:45 - 2:45. If our deck time is 1:45 and we arrive at noon, will we be told to wait until 1:45?

Got the boarding times email today. Really? Do they enforce it or can we arrive at noonish like we do for other lines?

5 night...Cozumel/Belize

Jackets required for men on formal night in MDR? I know there will be a wide range of extremes....but will a dress shirt and trousers be sufficient? Tie?
