Following.  I have one booked for the end of January.  Hope the tenders will run. 

I asked this question at the pier before I went in for testing.  The answer I got was "we will figure it out"  Less than helpful.  luckily in my case it did not need to be "figured out".  

Not bad.  Could see saved chairs for hours but with going at 50% it was not a problem

I just have to say what a relief to finally be talking about cruising again. I was on the Gem and it seemed surreal at times.  To be in my “happy place” my balcony was a breath of fresh air.  Let’s get back to the chair hog posts. Lol

How severe were the cases?  Any hospitalizations?  Any deaths?  This is the information that needs to be collected

No masking on the ship.  We did not go to Costa Maya due to Grace.  We instead are in Belize city. Don’t know about tomorrow yet. I am not very computer savvy so I don’t know how to post Dailies

Go into the testing site. Wait to here that your test is cleared. They give you wristband and you go to check in.   We were on the ship in less than an hour. 

On the Gem now. At Harvest Cay.  Weather is great.  Easy getting through testing and on the ship.  
 

I will be on the GEM this Sunday the 15th.  Can't wait to be on a ship again. 

Thanks for the explanation. 

Is it pretty safe to say the Gem will sail on the 15th?

Booked for 8/15 on the Gem and still fully plan on going unless NCL pulls the rug out from under our feet again.

Me too.

I'm waiting for The Beer Drinker Musical......"I love ya man".....BURP !

That would be Choir Of Man (LOL)

I liked it.  I thought it was very funny. I saw it on the Escape. 

When in January are you going.  We are going the last week of January into the first week of February. 

We have booked a suite on the Gem.  We usually go Haven but with the ship going our under booked (first one out of Miami) there did not seem to be much difference in the suite.  We are also booked in a Haven suite on the Escape in January.  Big difference there!

Good news indeed!

You're right.  It will be nice to argue over which ship has the best buffet.  It will be nice on everybody's first cruise to get together at the meet and mingle and share a drink.

Soon,  very soon. 

I am ready to sail.  I will go in August if the ship sails regardless.  I am fully vaccinated and have also had COVID so I am not afraid to catch it.  I believe there will only be a small chance of an outbreak, one that I am willing to make. 

Hello all,

My husband surprised me yesterday and suggested we renew our vows on the Escape this January.   I see NCL has a package for $499.00.  Has anyone done this?  What was your experience?

I said I wouldn't but I am going to.  Book the Gem out of Miami on Aug. 15th.  I sure hope they get the Florida Fiasco over by then. 

I also booked in January of 2022.  On the Escape in the Haven.  We used our FCC to purchase from two cruises. The third we only used deposits and got those back.  So it won't cost that much "more" but we are down two cruises to one. 

Have a cruise booked in August on the Breakaway and January on the Escape.  My husband and I are fully vaccinated and are ready to sail.  Even though I am vaccinated I feel even more safe when cruising with others who are as well.  Much less change for an outbreak to sweep the entire ship.  If there are a few who will come down with COVID there are extended isolation cabins where they will be required to quarantine.  I am so glad NCL is pushing back.  Let the people who feel safe cruise while the people who do not can take land vacations.  Give us the choice back!

Did he win it at the Encore?

Thanks all
