Is there a place on the CC website for this info? Or do I search the boards for the info?

 

Thank you!

Yup, you have to search here and other websites too. That would be great if CC had one spot to post pictures!

May I ask a silly question? (I'm new here!) :o

 

I think all these differently named/themed suites are great (i.e. Gemini, Shanghai), but how do you know what you are booking? The NCL website only states the category (i.e. AC) and shows a generic picture. How do I know what I'm getting when I book a suite?

 

Thanks for the clarification!

The name is not provided on the website and if you call directly to NCL I doubt anyone will be able to tell you the name. The NCL site is good at telling you what amenities are in the penthouse. The best place for the names or actual pictures is here on Cruise Critic. Also, don't think of themed suites, they're really just named. If you find a picture of your level of suite but it is not the exact stateroom number, you can expect yours to be very, very similar. Here's an example, on The Star the AE suites on the back of the ship are the same in layout and size. However, they were slightly different with regards to pictures on the walls, or bedspreads, little stuff like that. But then, the AE suites don't have names at all, but the AB's do.

We just booked our very first suite and are very excited! We booked 10008 on the Spirit. I've done searches so that I can read everything I can find about the suites.

 

One picture I saw said it was a picture of the TV cabinet in the bedroom. Is there a TV in the bedroom in addition to the living room?

 

Any info or tips will be appreciated. I'm really enjoying anticipating this cabin and love reading everything about the suites!

 

Thanks.

On our Jewel cruise last Mar we were in 11150 AFT and LOVED it! No noise at all from above. Very quiet because not much foot traffic back there so you don't get the late-night loud talkers heading back to their cabins' date=' or the kids running around knocking on doors. Plus, the view could not be more perfect. Looks just like those posted by Shoreguy. Pure bliss. Once you experience it, you'll want it again. My Mar 07 B2B cruises on the Pearl are also AFT mini suites. :D[/quote']

 

Well, hey Stillfloatin - I guess we need to start the 11150 Club. Did you enjoy the layout of this cabin as much as we did?

We were in 11150 AFT Mini-Suite just a few weeks ago. Absolutely no noise. And, the layout of this Mini-Suite is fantastic and not standard to the other Mini-Suites. The difference being is that the bed and couch are flip flopped from the standard. What this creates is a large "living area" and better yet, you don't have to squeeze through the end of the bed and wall to get to the living area. Then, where the bed is creates about 2 feet plus some between the end of the bed and wall. Another difference to note is there is no curtain to divide the bed from the living area but this was no big deal for us. We would book this room again without a second thought.

Both my husband and I start with a bowl of sliced bananas with cream and sprinkle on at least two packets of raw sugar. Oh my, it is so good. We try making it at home but it is never the same. That is just for starters...

After DW reminded me to check that the passports were prepared the night before our departure (check! all set!), I proceeded to leave them AT HOME the next morning when we headed to the airport. When we got to the airline checkin counter and they asked for IDs, my stomach dropped to the floor. Of course, we could get on the plane with our drivers' licenses, but the ship would be another story. So DW & our 2 kids flew down from BOS to FLL, I drove home to NH to fetch the documents, then back to Boston, where I caught the next flight down. Where I sat in first class! :p

Now that's a happy ending!

I forgot my slip so when we arrived in St. Lucia, we managed to find our way to a "department" store. This was an experience all by itself of trying to ask the natives of where we could buy one. We finally found our way and ended up in an area of no tourists, at all. Got into the store to find a very, very small section of lingerie in which I was able to pick out what resembled a slip. It turned out to be a really funny thing with legs in it and such...very weird to say the least but I thought it would do the job. So I go to pay for it and they don't take credit cards. They direct us to a bank to exchange some money and they are closed for lunch. So we wait around for it to reopen while we are getting stared at excessively. Bank opens, we exchange the money, back to the store and bought the slip. Never again!
