It literally takes 60 seconds once you're onboard!! Best thing to come from covid!!! Lol!!

We leave tomorrow on NCL Getaway, with a stop in Old San Juan next week. We'll only be there from 7am until 3pm and plan on just walking around. My daughter wants to stop at Barrachina, and we will, but we're also looking for a bar that could be fun around lunchtime. I've heard that the pina colada's are pre-made at Barrachina, so we're looking for a better one. Lol!! Being in close proximity to Barrachina would be a plus. Any suggestions? TIA

Looks awesome!! We leave tomorrow on Getaway for 10 days of Vibe! Can't wait!!

My brain is a little fried getting ready to leave in 2 days on Getaway so please bare with me. Lol! We've done laundry on our last 2 sailings for free because we were in a CBS just to check it out really. This sailing is 10 days and we're definitely going to do some mid cruise. We are Gold too (achieving platinum on this sailing), so is the half off of the $35 or is $35 the price? We have obc, so it doesn't matter much, but I'm curious. TIA

Absolutely! Did it this past July.

Did the rising son sunset cruise this past July and had a great time! In fact, a couple got engaged on our sailing!

I don't care about the cookies too much, but I've alerted my wife and daughter to this major issue and we'll check it out in 7 days when we board Getaway. Lol 😂 It's not that I don't like a good cookie. I do! But I'll be happy to choose whatever is available to me and enjoy it!

That's strange! It was going to be a possible thing to do in less than 2 weeks. I'll keep checking!

Deja Vu

Oh, it's a done deal! We will, 100%, be ordering room service on a 10 day sailing and we'll order a couple of pieces as my daughter loves it too.

Somebody on here is liable to kill me for this, but I don't get the hash brown love. I've had them and they're pretty good, but I also like the country potatoes if they're well done. Now, if they mess with my 7 layer chocolate cake at Cagney's (and maybe room service), blows will be thrown! Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 14 days till Getaway!

I'm considering a cruise in 2027 and was wondering if I could eliminate my future osc now and reserve loungers by the pool? Of course I'll be sharing my drink package with whomever doesn't have one. Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 Clownshow!

I just leased my 6th Honda Accord in a row. A 2024 Sport Hybrid. I really wanted the red with black leather but inventory is still awful where I live, so I settled on the white. The black 19" wheels and spoiler look real good. I will hopefully enjoy my sailing on Getaway in 15 days as much as I've enjoyed every one of my Hondas. Lol 😂

I'm going with Honda!

Loved Howl on Escape and glad to hear that you enjoyed it on Getaway. We'll be on Getaway in 16 days, so maybe it'll be the same trio.

We're sailing Getaway in 17 days with a stop in Taino Bay, so thank you for the great pics and info! Have a great trip! We loved Encore in 2020!

Lol 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 I need video proof of this! And, if this really happened, I hope you said said something.

That's a good idea! We're there until 8pm but we want just a couple of hours of beach time. And buying some stuff, like my wife and daughter are bound to do, would work better on the way back. Thanks.

This is great info! Thanks! My wife, daughter and I are sailing Getaway in 18 days and want something simple for our stop in St. Maarten. We arrive at 12:30PM and were just going to walk to Philipsburg (we'll need the exercise after a few days of gorging ourselves onboard), shop a little and find a spot to park ourselves on the beach. Your idea is better! We can still take our walk over there and then taxi to Divi Little Bay. Do you have any other tips for this DIY excursion? TIA

We're sailing Getaway in 20 days and Howl is one of the things that my family is looking forward to. We also sailed Escape in 2018 and have missed not having it on our last few cruises.

This past July we sailed Joy with the standard unlimited wifi and my wife did a job interview from our cabin on zoom. It worked for the entirety of the 20 minute interview. We also used factime a few times without issue. ymmv

Don't do it. NCL is the worst cruise line and is even worse for solo travelers! Food stinks, service is atrocious and entertainment is non-existent! Carnival is way way way better than NCL! Darn! Just realized April Fools Day is still a few days away. Nevermind!

I was planning on doing a bag on my upcoming 10 day sailing, so bigger is better in this particular instance. Thanks for the info!!

is that because you have the FAS drink package? Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do understand your pov. I also enlisted and also used to feel a little uncomfortable when thanked or when vets were asked to stand up and be recognized. It may be because I enlisted during peace time when so many others had seriously risked their lives. But, I've softened a little in recent years and no longer feel uncomfortable. My daughter is mainly the reason for this and to show me her pride, she nominated me a couple of years ago to be the Military Hero of the game at an Islander game. I was chosen just this past year and my game was the night before Thanksgiving. I was anxious leading up to it and nervous the night of. It ended up being an awesome evening with the entire crowd chanting USA with me on the big screen and with my daughter doing a tribute to me, also on the big screen. I must have had 100's of people thanking me for my service and I had several beers purchased for me by people sitting by me. I thought the best part was going to be that I was being given an authentic Islander jersey with my name from Butch Goring, but it ended up being my wife and daughter watching me get celebrated in front of an almost sold out crowd. I love the discount, but I am looking forward to sailing Getaway in 22 days and attending the reception, hopefully meeting some other veterans and sharing a couple of "quick" stories. BTW the jersey is freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
