Live, from the Spirit 16 night Alaska to Hawaii

[mscdivina2016]

Finally made it to Vancouver the night before the cruise as Hurricane Ian messed with my airfare as Florida airports near me shut down. Once the storm passed we got rescheduled for Sunday flights. 

Our main home survived the storm but it looks like our summer home at Ft Myers beach may be gone??

 

 

Embarked on 10/6 in Vancouver and it was a little nightmare due to the crowds and the overall layout of the facilities.

 

This is not an NCL issue but a few big ships in a small area.

 

Took one hour to get on which is not really that bad.

Ship is nice, staff is excellent. I must give a shout out to Jerry our cruise director for setting up our meet and mingle. I have interacted with him a few times. 

Entertainment has been fun, shows are good so far.

 

Due to weather we lost Skagway. We now have 6 sea days in a row to Hawaii.

 

 

If you have any questions just ask.

We are on the Spirit 11/14 to 11/26 Tahiti to Hawaii.  Glad to hear she is on the way to start that series of itineraries.  Would love to hear anything about the Thermal Suite.  The food, of course, and the specialty restaurants.  Have a great cruise!

Was on the previous cruise, we lost Skagway as well due to weather.  Spent 2 days in Juneau instead.  Skagway really taking a hit this year.

Ship is nice and refurbished. Can't really comment on the food as we eat in Cagney's for lunch and the specialty ones at night.

All very good so far.

Shows are entertaining.

I'll be following with interest, I'm cruising to New Zealand in January.

A couple of questions come to mind

Is there any entertainment that needs to be booked? (like comedy club)

Are there any dark spots to do some star gazing?

No not on this sailing as we are on 66% full so plenty of seats.

But....I noticed that there are some 1 time showings which is probably because of low passenger count so if you have specialty restaurants booked you could miss the show.

We had a ventriloquist one night, a magician another night as well as a singer and regular production shows.

Good afternoon and thanks for taking us along! Can you please share how many outlets you have in the room?

Also interested in the thermal spa and any other helpful hints you have to share.

Thanks again.

Have not been to the spa.

Thanks for the updates. We will be on next month.  What time are the shows and what are your favorites so far?

There has been a few single shows at 830.  Production shows are two a night.

Comedy, singing, a mentalist couple, and a magician shows.

 

The comedy is our favorite so far.

 

We have 6 sea days in a row and there has been an occasional show in the afternoon.

We have an hour of ballroom in the Spinnaker every afternoon which is now popular.

 

Casino is empty
