This review made the click bait page of my mobile browser. I think that means you’ve reached the pinnacle, my friend.

Lol. We’re staying at the Caribe Hilton, which is also the home of the pina colada.

Is there anything to do around the port area? Hotel checkout is noon (and the crazy discount I got means no late checkout), so we’re going to have about an hour and a half to kill before our 1:45pm checkin time.

I just noticed I quoted the wrong person. Many apologies.

Mine was pretty self-explanatory.

Ugh. I’m sorry you didn’t have a great experience. We’re excited about the Wake and hope yours was a one-off.

That seems reasonable. We’ll plan on watching later shows.

My 45 day window will be opening next month, and I’m making my plans in my head. How much time should I reasonably allow for dinner? What’s a good time slot to reserve so we can also see shows? It looks like most things take place at dinner time. Should we plan on eating before or after shows? I want to be able to coordinate all this so I can log in at midnight and make reservations immediately.

Is it possible to just hop on the bus (or taxi) and visit without being part of an organized tour?

Same.

AA changed my return flight last year- giving me less than a 30 minute layover at CLT. At the time, one of my flighmates was recovering from the ‘Vid and was using supplemental oxygen. Walking was a struggle, running was not an option. Complaining directly did me no good as I’m not an frequent flyer and those miles I’d cashed in weren’t exactly a concern. So… I ranted a little on SM (the bird app). Within a few minutes, I was asked to DM customer service. After explaining my situation, I was given the chance to change my flight to one that hadn’t been published yet. It never hurts to try…

As a non Rock Star, I was allowed to choose 1:45 for boarding in San Juan. Does having DBE grant an earlier embarkation?

Thank you. I realized my typo right away and tried to edit or delete to no avail.

Same here. I didn’t even realize Brilliant was a new build when I booked her. It wasn’t until weeks later when I couldn’t find any ship porn that a figured it out.

I just got moved to VL.

We're booked on her third sailing. LOL. I didn't even realize she was a new build until after I booked and was looking for some good ship porn! If it helps, I plan on taking copious photos and posting.

Thank you. Those pics are just what I needed on this horrible day at work.

Thank you. I'll check it out now.

Thank you!

Of course, this makes total sense! We're doing the Western Caribbean.

I feel like this is probably asked and answered to death, but I promise I went back at least four pages on the search function and didn't see anything. As the title says, I'm a NCL cruiser (Platinum if it matters), and I'm looking to expand my horizons. I'm booked on Radiance of the Seas next year, and I have more questions than I can even think of at the moment. I know she's an older, smaller gal, but those huge mega-ships are a little intimidating for me. I chose "My Time" dining as I'm not keen on dining with strangers. It appears I'm able to make reservations now. (That seems crazy early to me, but I'm not complaining.) Is there any way to know what time evening shows begin, so I can plan accordingly? If I reserve 6:45pm, can I still make shows? Should I aim for entertainment before dinner? Will I know in advance of formal nights? This isn't an issue on NCL. My "cruise" uniform is typically long capris and lightweight, semi-dressy tops. (Think Land's End.) Will I be okay for the most part, or do I need to buy some new items? (We'll probably skip formal night.) For those who have sailed both lines, can you tell me some of the differences between the two? Similarities? Thank you in advance for any help. I'm happy to provide any additional information if it helps.

Can someone tell me which port Virgin will use? TIA!

I'm booked on the fourth sailing of Brilliant Lady, and I've had the app downloaded for almost a year now.

Our itinerary is pretty port intensive, so I don't think we'll be bored. I'm just trying to get a feel for the line. I don't have a problem with eating myself into a nice food coma on a sea day!
