I have my first NCL Cruise this fall after sailing RCL, Carnival and Princess. I’m expecting NCL to be very similar to RCL/Carnival and this thread seems to agree.

Exploding Kittens packs easy and is fun even with two players! I’ve successfully consolidated down Catan to a large ziploc on a previous cruise.

Coral was fabulous September 2016! I’d go on her again in a heartbeat.

Tiramisu is my favorite! Perfect dessert drink after dinner!

I would be so excited if this was true fleet wide! We have the beverage package on the Star in the med in September!

I’ve had great cruises on both lines. The clientele is nearly identical - though some Royal regulars will insist it is not.

Barcelona is a great city and doable on your own with some planning. Research and figure out what you’d most like to do there and have a great day!

The truth often hurts! :p
Not surprising your reaction since you are a dedicated Carnival cruiser. :rolleyes:
Me, I wouldn't take a Carnival cruise even if it was free. Too many of my friends who took their first cruise on Carnival refuse to take another cruise, even with other cruise lines. They were that unimpressed. I trust their judgment.
I’ll take your free cruise any day. Please let me know if you’re offered one.

Legend. First Carnival Cruise. Kind of love the ridiculous decor.

Yes every night. Usually we took pictures after dinner if we ate before 6 pm.

It was warm enough to use the pool one day in September on my Alaska Cruise! You never know!

Games I love for two players that travel well: Jaipur, Morels, smash up, bears versus babies, Loot, Hive, Rage

Champagne fountains
There was one on my Princess Cruise in 2017!
I miss the midnight buffet. I often have trouble finding much other than pizza or a sad burger after 11pm or so on any ship in the last 5 years...

Your review is cracking me up. The family antics are relatable! Great job!

1. Chair hogs

Agree, very minimal differences between Royal and Carnival. We loved the martini class and Chops on Vision!

Bonus points if the itinerary goes to Glacier Bay NP AND College Fjord.
We had a great time on Coral in 2016!

The best parts of Roatan are away from where you dock IMHO. The “immediate area” is a Carnival-ized Caribbean experience.

No; it’s born out of law. It is simply illegal to be in possession of a controlled substance without a prescription. Yes, it’s unlikely anyone will realize you have a controlled substance and challenge if you have it legally. But it’s so simple to carry that medication on a prescription bottle to prove it’s legal. In this day and age of the opioid crisis; you don’t want to be in possession of one without proof it’s yours.

Exactly. Why risk ruining your vacation over something preventable??

If any of your meds are controlled substances bring the original bottles.

My favorite way to see the glaciers is by air! On foot the Mendenhall glacier was child’s play compared to the views of Glacier Bay. Some of the helicopter tours will land on a glacier depending on conditions.

We had a great tour with a local guide in Kotor and are using him again this year! “Tours by Milo” on TripAdvisor has the info.

I wasn’t impressed with this excursion. It was too windy to see anything snorkeling wise. The boat ride was ok. Food on the island wasn’t great. Drinks were watery. Would go to a resort on Cozumel next time.

Nicole, I love your reviews! I’m from Chicago as well :) It seems like you’re 2-3 years ahead of me on cruises...I loved your Med review and remember reading it right before my honeymoon in 2015. I’ve been eying Baltic itineraries for 2019!!

Why NCL?
in Norwegian Cruise Line

I guess in my experience these things aren’t unique to NCL (maybe they were at one time). I’ve had a table for two with no assigned dining time and not dressed up on Carnival and RCL.
