  1. OP never responded. We did a Ring Road trip last month and got to see puffins at Borgarfjarðarhöfn (east coast) and also during a whale watching boat excursion from Husavik. If OP answers we might be able to really answer their question, if it's a smaller expedition cruise for instance the chances are higher with the ship hugging the coast or at anchor at some of the smaller ports.
  2. "Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites - Waterpark, an IHG Hotel", 20 minutes from Orlando international.
  3. Per NCL.com the Epic for example still has a Freestyle Sun Deck listed, deck 19 (all the way forward), do we have someone on board live'ing at the boards? They gotta earn those Rare CC badges...
  4. Nice! I am pleased to see that they went for different designs/bow art!
  5. What is recently? During covid the opposite happened, cruise lines postponing refurbishments..

  7. There is a casino, probably not showing up on the deck plans yet?
  8. https://store.emed.com/s/product/detail/01t8c00000M7G8yAAF this 6 pack?
  9. It might be the foodtruck for inside the food hall? edit: although that cover, which seems to be the same size looks like one of those at home back yard jaccuzi covers?!
  10. From last week in Trieste: 289573732_161442349714239_801510581582426287_n.mp4
  11. The view down on to Ocean Boulevard, any guesses which cabin approx? 10000000_5357342570955756_7471803189697576566_n.mp4
  12. Deck 16 deck plan got updated with the Spa and Fitness center reveal, also showing the actual slides at the aft. Some interesting balconies, which to me still do not reflect the real sizes? Besides deck 8 the other deck plans are not updated.
  13. Both are 10%, that is why percentages are percentages and not just hard numbers. With cruise only rates, packages, differences in OBC, refundable, non refundable, free this, free that.. the best thing to do is make your own notes. Write it down in a spreadsheet, a notebook and run the numbers. We book with one US based travel agent most of the time because they are cheaper and have better conditions. We've booked through Dutch, British and US based companies over the years. We now stick to one company/TA, we book through their website and one of the familiar names of their team will get in touch. The one thing I haven't found yet is that wonderfull travel agent that is the cheapest, gives a ton of onboard credit and who keeps an eye on pricedrops, calls me up about those (rather not due to timezones LOL ) and gets me an upper suite for the price of an guarantee inside, with a big flower arrangement and the captain carrying my luggage. I know they excists! Because people rave about them, although in smaller ways then above of course. What I don't believe is that such a personal TA is the cheapest at the bottom line. I tend to think I am a Smart cruiser, by booking not with a too big or too small company, which gives me enough credit showed up front, has a user friendly site and good response to requests. The prices match the cruise line websites rates but with extra credit. After booking I check a few times for a price drop through a mock booking and request a change to the booking, depending on the conditions. That is my best practice experience.
