Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. As per title, on the Joy transatlantic UK to Miami. How does passport/immigration work for non US citizens? Do we just line up in a different line to US residents after disembarking the ship?
  2. I went up to the Spa today and asked. They said they have a "whirlpool" holding up to 8 people. No other pool. It will be open in time for its first cruise from Miami. Word has it that it might be open before the end of this TA.
  3. Ponta Delgada unscheduled stop 5am.
  4. Still 1.8 wherever I go, not to worry, fine for browsing. Separately, the ship is diverting (slightly) to Ponta Delgada, due to a medical emergency. Lucky for said passenger that we're already more south then planned due to weather patterns. It docks at 5am and we've been told not to set clocks back as planned tonight so as to keep ship time in line with our stop.
  5. I'll do a few ship wise tests. When upgrading to unlimited today (day 3 so used my 150 latitude minutes first to save when upgrading) the internet manager said not to expect any faster speeds if I went premium. As I didn't need streaming I just went basic at $169 (upgrade price for 8 remaining days). Captain said slowing down this afternoon for some ship tests (not sure if he meant lifeboats or something else). Otherwise, our more southerly route as a result of his diversion due to low pressure weather has resulted in nice sunny skies and a little bit of warmth. And the best battered fish I've had in years, in the Garden Cafe!
  6. I asked the internet manager why the slow speeds, he said they had had 40 Mbps the day before (I was getting just under 2) and that the main reason was the cloud/fog/middle of Atlantic. I have no idea whether this is plausible but presume some on here will have a view. Edit: no fog this morning, nice and sunny. Getting 0.8
  7. I hadn't been in her before, but had been on the Encore. From what it seems, the seating areas in the walkway port side are gone, whereas remain on the starboard side. But all the observation windows are still there as far as I can see. Ship has a new feel to it for things like carpets and general appearance.
  8. Onboard Joy. 1.8 Mbps download is best I've got so far. Less than 1 Mbps a lot. Ok for basic surfing just about but your 150 minutes would be wasted quick loading stuff so you'd really need unlimited.
  9. They sent is an email saying it wouldn't be for the TA
  10. On the Joy. Internet manager confirmed Starlink operational.
  11. Ahh, forgot about the webcam, might catch it leaving soon! I see right now there are ropes attached to the bow that weren't there yesterday.
  12. So, the Norwegian Joy is in dry dock in Rotterdam, sailing on the TA back to Miami on Tuesday 13th Feb. It sailed from Miami about 3 weeks ago I think. Where do all the staff/musicians/etc. etc. go for that 3 weeks?
  13. No, it was before the Joy sailed from Miami to Southampton. It's in dry dock now.
  14. I have no experience with the flights with NCL. But on this subject, just curious. How did the original BOGO air work? Let's say, hypothetically, there were 10 passengers going from the same location previously, and direct flights available, would NCL have purchased all 10 direct, even if the last 5 doubled in price? Or would they have booked 5 direct and told 5 others sorry, indirect for you? Is this new "offer" a way of ensuring you will get the "first 5" whereas previously it might have been a lottery? If so, it could be argued the original BOGO offer has slightly reduced in value? Sorry if I'm talking nonsense here, but it seems necessary to know how it originally worked ie who got the 8 direct seats before this new 300 offer?
