Following along, have a wonderful cruise, you deserve it!

There is no longer a fixed fare from Port to Airport, I read they stopped this late last year

Thank you for the heads up. We usually take the cruise transfers from port to airport and will now make alternate plans, I have read about this problem more than once.

When we cruised last year on the Encore there was no mention of activity cards, nor did I see anyone with one. I can't recall if anyone got a prize at the trivia events, but I did get a t-shirt when I participated in the Male vs Female competition.

We are late June, please report back how you liked the excursion.

I do not think that NCL will ever go back to 2 times a day service and personally I do not need it BUT I do hope they give their stewards less cabins to clean so rooms are done earlier than the 4pm-6pm time I have been reading about. We always go back to our room about 3pm and relax and I would like to have my room taken care of by then so I am not woken up and/or disturbed and need to leave my room so it can be serviced. They should at the very least give the option of morning or afternoon service like Carnival does instead of going in order down the hall way and the end of the hall always has late service and the beginning has early service. I have 2 cabins and 1 cabin needs to have the beds separated into 2 bed and I dread having to try to deal with having the beds separated on day one when no one will be servicing our cabin at night.

It should have read NCL has not docked in Bermuda for 2 months. The last time NCL docked in Bermuda was January 18th. IF it docks tomorrow, it will have been a full 2 months and 7 straight cruises that NCL has not docked in Bermuda.

Thank you! Google did not help me on this one.

3 months and every single cruise has not been able to dock there because of weather?! I find that a little unrealistic.

It reads continental breakfast menu but the word "complimentary" is not there

What do you mean by MCT? If you mean time zone (which would be MST) NYC is on ET

Wow! I love not having the in-person muster drill but I do check to make sure there are 2 adult life jackets in both our cabins and I make my family go to the location of their life boats so we know where to actually go in an emergency. I can be a bit of a nervous nelly when it comes to my family's safety, they make fun of me but I don't care, lol.

Why were you asked for your vaccination card? As of November 22, vaccine requirements and covid testing were dropped.

Wow! I will have to follow this closely, we have a NCL excursion booked here

I am along for the ride and looking forward to another of your great reviews! I will miss your dad though, he always cracks me up.

There is a Publix a few blocks away that sells wine. Concierge can give you directions. We always ate at Perricone's but they moved a few blocks further than they were and have not read any reviews here yet if they are still good, but they had great Italian food.

From what I remember, there is a taxi stand of taxi's lined up and a person assigning taxis based on number of people and luggage.

Thank you for the replies! I am not a fan of metered taxi's. Our first cruise out of Miami we took a taxi from the hotel to the port and the driver took the extra-long way and the fare came out to 3 times the amount it should have been. Is it easy to get an Uber/Lyft from the port?

Is there a fixed rate for taxis that go from the Miami Port to MIA? If so, how much? Do you recommend taking a taxi or using Uber/Lyft to get to the airport from the port?

Thank you for this thread!! We always stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites and have dinner at Perricone's, now that Perricone's has moved to its new location, is the food still as good as it was before?

I would call to purchase the dining package for her, you will have to pay right away vs at final payment.

Did NCL book the Miami Airport Hotel for you? I do not recommend that hotel at all.

Thank you!!!

But before they got gratuities for 8 cabins and now, they get gratuities for 16 cabins. Yes, it is a little hairier for them to get the work done and they work a few more hours but they should be getting double the gratuities now to make up for it. Many of us work 8-10 hour days with only a 1/2 hour-1 hour lunch break.

I know Carnival asks when you do online check in but unless something has changed since July, NCL does not ask. Hopefully it gets added on to their check in since we probably will not see the steward the first day.
