Oh No. 🤣 Well, Little Miss HBE4 made the trip with me and 2 of her Ranger fan friends that live in Florida met us there. The 3 of them were all to happy to run down to Lobby Bar for me, especially since they were charging their drinks to my room. Lol. 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have only done one NCL cruise and I hate that beverage package that is one of the "Free" choices. They require all in the same cabin to get the same free options, so I had no choice but to get that beverage package and then pay the $200+ gratuity for the "free" choice. It was a girls cruise for my Mom's 80th, so I had to go with what the group was doing. I would have been fine with it if I could get bottled water or soda but those weren't included. 🙄 So NCL will include a drink that might cost them $1.50 but not water or soda that probably cost them a few cents. 😏 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mets07 Posted February 7, 2023 #85232 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Have done 3 NCL cruises. Those cruises were mostly positive. Loved the Waterfront area. We are also big fans of JVD. We did a Royal excursion to JVD. Hope to get back there. Thanks for your feedback, @Momof3gurlz I have posted this pic before.... taken on our way to JVD. And here is to Kenny Chesney. Look up his song It's That Time Of Day - Adios To Jost! . 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received my post cruise survey today. Can’t wait to tell them to look at our account and note that every rum & coke purchased resulted in the rum on the side being wasted. Why not just let him have the soda package instead, we weren’t asking for money back. Dumb business decision that’s hurting them more than the customer. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBMGWM Posted February 7, 2023 #85243 Share Posted February 7, 2023 Hello @Momof3gurlz, I'm sorry that you didn't enjoy your NCL sailing more. I am a little confused about the issue your husband had with the Free at Sea beverage package where he wasn't able to just order a soda without the rum. I was on the NCL Sky in early January and was able to order fountain Coke with the package. I know water was not included, nor were canned sodas, but I had 3 - 4 cokes every day. I wonder if this is a recent change to the package? If so, that doesn't seem very customer friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that too. I’m beginning to think there’s no love lost between the two captains. I know Lee wasn’t happy at all when Sandy fired Camille without running it by him first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have flown Frontier a couple of times. They are a pretty good low frills airline. They don’t fly from my home airport so, I don’t think of them often. They were flying out of Branson airport (currently out of NW Arkansas (Bentonville)) and I used them for a flight to Denver, once you get there you can go pretty much wherever they go, and we flew on to Las Vegas. I like the planes, as they have animals on the tail. 😂 They are fine, better than Allegiant, because they might do a flight or two every day instead of 2 times a week. I have been getting alerts that they are selling unlimited flights this summer for $399. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the pool in the port, I've never understood the attraction.... there are pools with free food on the ship!!! Same with the Margaritaville pool in Falmouth.... why pay money (by buying food/drinks) to go use a pool when you have a free pool on board? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been getting alerts that they are selling unlimited flights this summer for $399. We flew with them about nine or ten years ago, because we could get a direct flight from Cleveland to San Francisco for around $100. What I remember about them was their seats were very hard, didn’t recline, and they had less space between your seat and the one in front. It seems like anywhere we would want to fly now had extremely long layovers. I know you can pay extra for those couple of reclining seats in the first couple rows, but they are comparable to a regular seat on a SW aircraft. Once you add in seat selection fees, carry on fees, bag fees, costs for a soda or a snack, etc., I am not sure you are saving much at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah..she realized after the fact that she hadn't opened the cabinet in the kitchen. She also began to let her faucet drip after she got it defrosted. Interesting and brilliant suggestion about the light bulbs and/or droplight to give off heat. I will definitely pass these suggestions on to all of my daughters!🥰 Living in Michigan my whole life, I know all the tricks! And if the power goes out, putting a candle in a metal/glass baking dish (and removing any flammable objects) will work in the cabinet under each sink, too. Back in the day, we used to use coffee cans for that, but coffee cans are plastic these days!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess count me as one of those who like the pool at Margaritaville in Falmouth, but only because I like the Cuban sandwich there. The last time we were there, we were sitting in the margarita glass shaped hot tub, when my wife looked down and saw some money on the ground under it. $150!!! So I climbed out and went down to retrieve it. I thought, dang, this will pay for all our food and drink today. Then I got the bill for something like $14,000. I guess their $150 doesn’t go as far as ours. 🤣 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
