Rare Huntingdon1701 Posted March 23, 2018 #28 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Thanks for the review and extra pictures. It's really helping to get a sense of the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmecruise1962 Posted March 23, 2018 #29 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Your review was great! And thanks for responding to my laundry question Now I know to wait and keep an eye out for the deal...rather than spring for a more expensive option. Also, I haven't even sailed and I agree about feeling nickel and dimed...if I'm "paying" for the drinks package, I should be able to get water and good coffee!

dexddd Posted March 23, 2018 #30 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Did you eat at any of the specialty restaurants? Booked let bistro, Cagney's and hoping to get the tappanyaki once onboard. Was it difficult getting booked into this onboard if you did? The Italian which seems to be part of the buffet doesn't appeal to me! Thanks again Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Forums mobile app Teppanyaki on Spirit is small, maybe only one table?? but you also can't book it ahead of time you have to book once on board.

rsachek Posted March 24, 2018 Author #31 Share Posted March 24, 2018 Continuing with the photos... The fitness center and Galaxy lounge are right next to each other. The gym was small but never got too crowded. There was always a treadmill or elliptical machine available. Inside the Galaxy lounge is a very unique feature, a bridge viewing room. In my photo, the shades are down to preserve night vision on the bridge. But during the day, you can watch the officers operate the ship. The bridge viewing room also has photos from the construction of the ship and memorabilia from inaugural calls at many ports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pens fan Posted March 24, 2018 #34 Share Posted March 24, 2018 What beautiful pictures! I'll admit we are kind of old school when it comes to cruise ship tastes, and the Spirit looks terrific. Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, just one table. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsachek Posted March 27, 2018 Author #36 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Love the rest of your photos. How was the food on the ship? We only ate in the two main dining rooms and I though the meals were good, not great. The presentation is attractive. They do the best they can, but the ingredients are definitely economical which I guess is par for the course with the advent of specialty restaurants. Most MDR meat is sliced from roasts and fish is very thin farm raised varieties. The most luxurious entrée is probably the strip steak that is on the "available anytime" menu. Lunch in raffles was typical buffet fare. I think we only ate 2 lunches onboard because we were out all day except for the sea days, of course. After returning from port at 4-5pm, we usually popped into Blue Lagoon for some chicken wings to tide us over until a late dinner. Speaking of main dining rooms... Windows Garden Room (sorry, took these with my old iPhone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsachek Posted March 30, 2018 Author #37 Share Posted March 30, 2018 (edited) Almost finished! Here is the aft bar/dining area outside Raffles buffet. And the Bier Garten. Edited March 30, 2018 by rsachek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsachek Posted March 30, 2018 Author #38 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Here is a random collection of the Spirit's hallways and stair towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsachek Posted March 30, 2018 Author #39 Share Posted March 30, 2018 And last but not least, our inside cabin, number 9589. If you read my review, you know we had some issues with our cabin to be sure! But overall, it was adequate for such a port intensive itinerary.

hladygirl Posted May 18, 2018 #43 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Funny, the sprit looks exactly like it did in 2010 last time I sailed her. Still my favorite ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poohdreaming Posted May 18, 2018 #44 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks for sharing these lovely pictures. I do not think I would be on the NCL Spirit, but it is great to see another cruise ship in detailed photos. I am amazed by how you woke up so early to take pictures and barely any people in these pictures. Usually the casino would be full of people?

Rare Von & John Posted May 18, 2018 #45 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Thanks for the pic's & memories... We sailed on the Spirit from Barcelona to Malta, Portugal, the Canary Islands & Morocco over Valentine's Day 2015. Cheers -- Von Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manxcruiser Posted May 18, 2018 #47 Share Posted May 18, 2018 This will be our 2nd time on Spirit. We were on her 2yrs ago this week for my 50th birthday! We went from Venice to Barcelona. Can't wait for the 7th of June! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted May 18, 2018 #48 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Funny, the sprit looks exactly like it did in 2010 last time I sailed her. Still my favorite ship. Unlike most other ships of that age, the Spirit hasn't had a refurb. It looks the same as it did in 2010 because it is basically the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinarei Posted May 19, 2018 #49 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Thanks for posting and letting me walk down memory lane... we were on the Spirit in July '15 and she's definitely our favorite ship! ;) Those were great pictures! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
