my dad is from Cuba. Havana to the core. He sounds like Ricky Ricardo. My mom is as deep Texas as it gets. She sounds like Paula Deen with twang. Somehow, they canceled out on me…. But get me around my people…

"Lucy, y'all have some splainin' to do!"

 

"Well bless your heart, Ricky!"

What's up....looks like you didn't spend much time on the island at the beach....that water looked so beautiful.....but so doesn't an empty ship!

got my fix in, about three hours, half of that happily floating like a cork…. Restful afternoon onboard = perfect combo

Really pushing that Muppet watch

When I saw the first pics you posted of GSC, I thought "wow that looks like Coco Cay when we visited in 2008, before the big waterpark".  Then you posted the big waterpark pic. It is the same island!😄

so the first pic is CocoCay… second is GSC (which is waaaaay larger)… and the third is the tiny gap between the two

Menu looks pretty good tonight. Hmmm. I have La Cucina scheduled, but….

Bliss is showing a movie to no one. No need to even click full screen I guess

GSC is gorgeous. Does the drink package work on the island?

Yes

Henry did his thing 

 

 

these definitely feel spring break targeted

Just took an incredible shower. The bathroom is probably the smallest cruise ship bathroom I’ve had (not counting studios obvi), but the water pressure is fantastic and it’s instantly at temp.

Good to hear....with the time difference between us it  only seemed like 30 minutes for you!

We are taking our first post-COVID NCL cruise next month. Is housekeeping down to once a day now?  MSC is still doing twice a day, but I thought I read that NCL had changed. Curious as to your experience. Thank you. 
 

BTW, we did the NCL Star to Alaska years ago. Is the Sun the same class of ship?

 

Enjoying your review!

Housekeeping is once per day, sometime between 8 and 5

Thanks to everyone who’s following along! I know it’s a shorty and it’s not the most exciting thing, but I truly appreciate it!

As long as B appreciates it. 😆

Just put a $40 ticket n a slot and it vanished. Waiting on service now. 

I hate when that happens. Rather lose it the slower way, one spin at a time.

Tripple pop! Hope they treated you nice!

thanks!! Housekeeping is once a day like Carnival. Princess still does twice a day service as of a few months ago, but that’s rarer these days. 
 

Star is a Jewel class ship, newer and a little larger than Sun. Sun and Sky (former Pride of Aloha) are the only two in the class. Sky was a Costa hull that went unfinished and NCL bought it and finished it (and built the Sun later)

Still mad they tore down the Orange bowl to put that thing there...

There are only 4 Jewel Class ships (Jewel, Gem, Jade and Pearl).

true, I just tend to lump the Dawn/Libra class in with them in my head since they’re so similar.

Just so happens that the Jewel Class ships are my favs. Been on the Gem(8), Pearl(4), Jade(4) and Jewel once. Don't like Star after one TA and have no intention of getting on the Dawn. Don't think they are similar in that the latter 2 don't have a Great Outdoors which is my fav hangout spot on Jewel Class ships. I had a good time on the Sun for 22 days repositioning from San Antonio, Chile to San Francisco a couple of years before COVID-19.

I love the Jewel class too. Been on Jewel and Jade, Pearl this summer. I enjoyed the Dawn quite a bit, never sailed on Star. Great Outdoors is really the only difference, but I really love Great Outdoors so that definitely matters if everything else is equal. 
 

man, that Sun itinerary sounds AMAZING! I’d love to do something like that someday.

Very sportsy evening for me. May try and do a little streaming at some point, see where the night takes me
