This was our video from our Caribbean Bliss cruise this past February 2019.

We are booked on her again for March 2020!

Weekly passes are not available pre-cruise. Do you go to the Spa to purchase them onboard?

Yes go up and get a tour to see if you will use what thermal suite offers, then decide if you want to pay the $250 or so for the week.

We were able to purchase ours pre-cruise for our March 2020 sailing on the Bliss.

I just went back to look and it now says unavailable, check back later or once onboard. 

Just wondering, do they only sell a certain amount of these passes?

I'm really not sure. I can say that the ocean front people did not get the same welcoming as us since they didn't go through the reception building. You are also much closer to the Moet bar & Spa if you are in the lagoon. I only had the option to book an Ocean Front so that is what I picked.

Thanks so much for the photos and great info! Just curious, is the Ocean Front part of Silver Cove?

We are cruising in April and have one of the Ocean Villas booked. There is only one choice for us, Silver Cove Ocean Villa. I do not see 1 or 2 bedrooms.

Same for us. We have one reserved for our March cruise. There was no option to pick and choose. They only thing I can think of is they will assign the villas accordingly once we are onboard.

The LATREW code does not mean that the cruise won't earn Latitudes points in the ordinary way. The disclaimer means that it doesn't confer any extra Latitudes points. It states that the code refers to Latitudes benefits on board for status already earned. (However, if the booking was made with a double points offer, those will be earned.)

LATREW is the promo code for latitudes rewards such as the discount on shore excursions, free internet minutes etc. It is not a booking code for a cruise hence it isn't associated with earning any latitudes points.

Thank you so much for clarifying that!

We are Platinum Plus and even though we will most likely never reach Ambassador level, I still want all my points earned! :)

Yep..that's what I was referring to.. I guess this is something new.

This was on our reservation and I'm just curious if this the same notation that you got on your email confirmation that you are referring to?  If so, I wonder why NCL isn't applying the points?? 

 

I wonder why would NCL deny anyone earned Latitude points? 

Something seems off to me.

I recently made several reservations directly through NCL .. On one of the e-mail confirmations there was a notation that the fare I selected was not eligible for  lattitude points. I'm already Platinum Plus with no expectation of reaching Ambassador. So the additional points mean very little to me..

This was on our reservation and I'm just curious if this the same notation that you got on your email confirmation that you are referring to?  If so, I wonder why NCL isn't applying the points?? 

We got the email invite today for our cruise on the Bliss sailing 3/1/20. We are 110 days out.  

Last cruise we did, it came right at the 80 day mark and the invite was on MyNCL.

Forgive me...I am so confused! I have a Silver Cove Villa booked for April. Does this come with lagoon access or not? It ran us $500 before latitudes discount if that helps determine what we booked. No one on the phone has any idea what I am talking about with the lagoon! Either way I'm happy, just need to know what to tell DH when I tell him what I booked!

You should have beach access based on the description below.

Great thread idea! 

We have a villa reserved at Silver Cove for our upcoming cruise.  When I reserved it there were no options to pick a studio, one bedroom, etc.  -  I just assumed they were all the same. The price was also one rate. 

How would we know which one we are getting?

nice -- where does the 3rd person sleep in this room? 

 

There's single pullout couch right next to the bed. 

Category H5 Suite 17706 - Beautiful Suite!

Drink package works on GSC. 

Awesome…thanks so much for your reply!

I have read that the Villas come with a wait staff for drinks…can we use the drink package perk or do we pay extra for the drinks?

Where can they be rented? And can they be driven on all roads?

We rented them from the Hamilton Princess and yes you can drive them anywhere on the island!

Here's a link with more info for you: https://www.currentvehicles.com

Deck 17 has larger balconies. We were in 17706 this past February.

Check out my video and you will see some shots of our balcony on the Bliss.

Great video! What beat did you go to in Bermuda? Who was your bartender and concierge in the Haven? Any tips? We're doing this cruise in the Haven in April.

 

Thanks!

Thanks! The beach shots in the video were taken at Warwick Long Bay. Our concierge was Patrick and Brunco (sp?) was our favorite Haven Bartender.  This could very well change by the time your cruise gets here.  As for tips…NCL has free ferry that will take you to St George which we highly recommend doing. We did rent a couple of Twizy electric cars for a couple of days. This gave us a lot of freedom to go where ever we wanted. There are 2 charging stations in the dockyard for the electric cars. The Escape is a beautful ship. The Waterfront area is not to be missed! 

Which Haven suite do you have?

I did make a video on our suite if you want to check it out. 

We were in 17706 and thought the location was perfect. Easy access to all entries!

My husband would joke that he loved the location so much because he was less then 100 steps from Haven bar! 

Also the balconies are larger on deck 17.  But honestly I don't think you can go wrong with any of the selections you have circled. Enjoy! 

This was our Super Bowl party on the Escape in 2017!

Thank you both for your answers.

 

I am thinking that going with the GoPro editing software for a newbie should be good. 

 

BTW, Chesneygirl I love watching your videos! Thanks!

Thank you so much for the kind words!

Good luck with your editing. You will get frustrated as it will be a learning curve but don't give up if you get stuck. There are tons and tons of tutorials on Youtube that can help you. I relied heavily and still do on Youtube tutorials. I'd be lost without them!
