wifi calling never works onboard the ship, the ship blocks it. you dont need to turn off wifi calling, it can remain on wifi calling does not use any cellular service, it uses whatever wifi it is connected to do the calling and texting. if you are in the port with decent wifi, you can use wifi calling for text and calling. make sure the phone is still in airplane mode when making calls

there is no shuttle between the terminals

Depending on the cruise director sometimes they might do their own thing with the fun squad. I don't like what marcq does in this show

you only really really need a passport if you are doing an excursion that goes into Canada like some of the white pass railroads or Yukon trips

every city/state and sometimes county does spring break on different dates . here in NYC, president day week is called mid winter break and spring break is in middle of April

it is also why cruise lines is investing a ton of money in their private islands or private port areas. carnival is building up a new area near freeport for their behemoths ships

that's because it is too early your sailing. you will need to wait until the first week of may for their system to populate. they only have sailings from now till the end of April

port of Miami has a calendar: https://wwwx.miamidade.gov/Apps/Seaport/dailydock/Default.aspx put in your sail date and select cruise the location column is the terminal. terminals are A, B, C, D,E,F,G and V for a may sailing, the website should have it a week or two prior to sail date

the last time i went on a cruise that tender ports, your tender ticket is coded to your room key. on the breakaway class ships you use the kiosk or your room tv to book a tender time slot

other cruise lines have no issue going full speed between NYC and Puerto Plata. It seems like Norwegian is trying to spin this into a fuel saving thing by not running the ship at 22-24 knots. a lot of fuel can be saved by going around 16-18 knots

they also have other monstrosity doing 3-4 day cruises out of Florida

there is also no self service laundry facilities on the Venezia/Firenze class ships

most likely the prima class lifeboats can not be used as tenders like what the breakaway class has

i wonder where these mega monsters ships can go. They will be too big for ports that need to under a bridge like NYC and some ports is starting to come out with passenger caps like Bar Harbor, Juneau and other European ports Unfortunately it seems like Norwegian wants to complete with Royal Icon class ships

Royal also sails out of Tampa too

us department of state website, the same agency that issues passports says your passport must be valid at the time of entry of going to bermuda: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Bermuda.html

Moderno and Teppanyaki needs to be booked first before the a la carte

they should be doors so that you can access the forward elevators from the pool area

MDR reservations is not needed nor required. you can just show up whenever you want onboard the ship

They are going to provision the ship in Port Canaveral for the long TA crossing instead of doing it in New York.. This is very common

no, the ship sails empty with no passengers. it is a crew only sail and the crew will get a much needed days off it is very very common for ships to sail passenger-less between Florida and New York. that is the quickest way to reposition a ship

For those on the breakaway Canada/new England cruises in the fall and want to go down the rabbit hole of itinerary changes and port time adjustment, you should check out the governmental site of St John and Halifax for their ship schedule St John: https://www.sjport.com/cruise-schedule Halifax: https://portcontrol.portofhalifax.ca/ ( click on the globe icon and then the calendar icon) Compare the port times that is on these sites to the norwegian website. most of the times on the norwegian website is incorrect. I am on the October 13 Breakaway sailing. Norwegian website shows the port time for St John to be 8am to 4pm, St John ship schedule shows 10am to 10pm. Norwegian website shows the port time for Halifax to be 10am to 8pm, Halifax ship schedule shows 3pm to 11pm. the excursions that are currently available for St John all have a 1045/11am start time and for Halifax all of the excursions have a 330/4pm start time. Clearly someone at Norwegian is aware of the port time difference. Why is Norwegian not notifying guests currently booked on this sailing about this changes and why is the website not updated with these changes? Which port time is correct? Most likely i think Norwegian is waiting until June when final payment is due and then send out of the itinerary changes notifications your convenience so you can not switch sail dates or make changes to the booking. this is what norwegian usually does from what i noticed

2025 schedule seems like placeholder like Norwegian is reservation specific dates for their ships on those dates. Its too early to tell what will happen eventfully happen. the full schedule for 2025 will not be released until this time next year. It was around late February when i noticed the portcall website had dates for 2024 and when i noticed most of all the breakaway October cruises were missing I wonder how long it will take for me to get the official itinerary change notice about the October 13 sailing

NY is my homeport. on all of the cruise lines i sailed out of the terminal, no one checked or enforce the check in time what i do see most of the times is for better or worse, they just put everyone in one big long line and ignore whatever signs they put on. most likely that on time line was closed somewhere so they directed everyone to the other line

This seems like the official ship schedule: https://maine.portcall.com/#!?tab=2&port=Bar Harbor it was found on https://www.barharbormaine.gov/190/Cruise-Ship-Information
