Just a suggestion but you don't have to get off the ship at every port. Pick one that you really want to see and skip the rest. Relax on a empty ship.

Morning bump for those crazy football fans. :) Bon Voyage!

I drink. My boyfriend does not drink. The package is not worth it for me since I would have to pay for both of us per the rules. I purchage a bottle of rum from bon voyage and bring my wine. That saves me a lot of money even if I buy a drink here or there.

Afternoon bump for those who love thier football.

For those of you who need your football fix. The schedule can be different on the west coast because of another sat feed. Bon Voyage!

Bring a wrist watch and set it to ship time. Make sure you are back on the ship 30 minutes before the ship is scheduled to pull out of port.

ship time may be different from local time.

From what I understand, the feed is from Miami so its what they would be watching. Sorry.

Go, check out the city, it is great! :)

I've been to New York City once on a business trip. My boss was driving and he just did a drive through. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr I did go across the brooklyn bridge 4 times. He kept getting turned around. LOL NYC is on my bucket list for sure. :D

No more last minute deals for airfare. It actually costs more if you book airfare at the last minute.

Thats why I stopped flying to my cruise destination and started driving to port. Yeah. all the way from Michigan. I use the money I would have spent on expensive flights and extend my vacation. I realize not everyone can do this.

For those who need their football fix. And just a reminder, the schedule could be different on the west coast due to different feeds. Bon Voyage! :)

Thank you clarkrock7. I think you answered my question. :)

I've been reading reviews on here for a while. And for some reason, people always comment on their fellow passengers who sail out of NYC being very New Yorkish. Don't know what that means. I've never been there so I can't say for myself. I usually sail out of Florida, New Orleans or San Juan. I like to start my winter vacation WARM. :D

What port did you sail out of? Just curious on my part.

I thought your review was well balanced. I will never understand the pj's and bathrobe thing but if someone wants to walk around with bed head... just sayin.

bump for those who want to know. :)

This is posted on John Heald's facebook page. From what I have been told, the schedule is different on west coast. What your seeing here is the satellite feed from ships sailing from the east coast. For those who need thier football fix. Bon Voyage!

You don't have to do a name change at all. When you get on board, just get extra cabin "key" cards and sleep where you want to. It's done all the time with families.

Sorry I am new to this program. Do both people in your cabin have to get the package?

Yes. all adults 21+ must buy the package. My boyfriend doesn't drink so I just purchase a bottle of rum form Bon Voyage.

there was a thread not too long ago where a lady was in the casino gambling and losing money. She said... I'm going to jump overboard since I am losing so much money. She said.. They locked her in her cabin with a guard outside and put her off the ship the next port of call. True or not.. I would think the ship takes comments like that very seriously.

Ok, that explains a lot. Just an FYI the games you posted from him the week of our cruise was wrong.

 

It hard to post a football schedule when each ship has different TV feeds.

that would make sense for different feeds. which ship out of where?

What about the Thursday games? There will be 3 on Thanksgiving. Are the games shown in the rooms on the Dream? Thanks for the info.

I won't know until John posts them on facebook next week. Will let you know.

Where do you get your info? The thursday night game was never available.

And the Sunday games are subject to where the ship is and what sattelite they can connect to.

directly from John Heald on Facebook. He started posting the schedule starting this year since so many people have been asking.

Afternoon bump for those who want to know.

Probably better for my trip that I don't have to watch the Chargers play the Chiefs this weekend. The past few weeks have been rough =(

Believe me... as a Lions fan I totally understand. Sometimes its just too painful to watch.

Have a great cruise. :)
