This set of pics and the happiness of it, gave me goosebumps. Thank you!

 

Me, too, @BirdTravels!  What an amazing thing for NCL to do. I'm sure that we'll all feel like it's Christmas, the 4th of July and our birthday once we're on that ship!  Thank you so much for your fabulous posts.

Had a thought. When those of us in the next couple months board the ship, a full ship will be getting off. I suspect this will influence the Covid testing and boarding. Hoping NCL learns from experience and streamlines things for us. Again, BirdTravels, thanks for your most excellent reporting. Mary

Hope they have that holiday buffet for our sailing next week! Looks like so much fun!

Nothing from the cruise line. The COVID testing center said that they were testing 2700 passenger.  I will investigate more. 

That seems to be closer to 2/3rds capacity than 60%.

Have you seen the painting classes being available?

Breakfast takeaway from Starbucks

But for the comeback, the first two Starbucks are on the cruise line.

The Bird is Extremely disappointed that Canvas By U is not offered on this sailing. They said maybe on a future sailing. For those who have followed the Bird’s live posts in the last, Canvas by U is a mandatory activity on a cruise.

For my husband too, he even packed his Bob Ross wig.

Many thanks for all the menus pics. If you happen to get the chance could you post the one from Maltings Whiskey Bar?

There will be more videos. Today is Valentine’s Day, Christmas, New Years Day, Independence Day, and all of the Birthdays not celebrated on NCL ships due to the pandemic. 

I LOVE THIS

Need some mommy and daddy time on the cruise? Send the kids down to the Entourage Teen Club on Deck 5. (This is a fully vaccinated cruise, so there are no guppies or Splash Academy members onboard). remember to register and attend the first night where friendships

are made. 

 

12 year olds can be fully vaccinated and thus allowed on the ship. Are they going to be allowed into Entourage or are they out of luck because the Splash Academy is closed? My daughter is cruising with her grandparents later this fall.

When I talked to the teen club folks, they said 13+. Grand can talk to them Onboard. By then they will have it figured out…. Maybe.

Thanks for update. We are better off knowing this issue before getting on the ship and being surprised. I'll talk to the kiddo and the grands. Hopefully it gets figured out sooner rather than later!

With this thread, NCL doesn't need any further advertising.  I predict a landslide of new AK bookings.
