supersloane Posted September 11, 2006 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Ok, after attempting twice to get a hold of someone at NCL and failing (I don't have time to spend more than 45 minutes at at time while at work!), I thought perhaps someone here might be able to help me! My husband and I are going on the Oct 7th cruise on the Dawn and he's an insulin dependant diabetic. We've got a balcony stateroom (BB) and wondered if there were fridges in all of the rooms to keep his meds in? If not, is renting one too much to ask? Also, do I need to request one bed as opposed to two (like you would in a hotel) or do they just push the two beds together to make one bed? Silly questions I realize but no one at NCL seems to be answering the phone :) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruizinwithkids Posted September 11, 2006 #2 Share Posted September 11, 2006 Go to the question about the balcony on the POH. There is a link where you can check the cabin. Unfortunately I can't cut and paste or I would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessie68 Posted September 11, 2006 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2006 My mother is insulin dependent. You will love the freestyle dinning. It worked perfectly for us. We were able to eat when she needed to eat and not have to adjust her schedule to accommodate the cruise lines dinning times. We had a refrigerator and yes I do believe all room have them.

Thanks There are fridges in the cabins on the DAWN and just ask the cabin steward when you board to put the beds together for you...Have a great cruise :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smeyer418 Posted September 11, 2006 #5 Share Posted September 11, 2006 all cabins on the Dawn have refridges small nice ones. The BB's are great centrally located (midships 8 and 9 and 10?) balconies...nice rooms...you should have a great time.

seahorse Posted September 12, 2006 #6 Share Posted September 12, 2006 I don`t know if the meds have to be kept at a certain temp (mine did) so I would suggest bringing a small refrig thermometer.....some of them are pretty warm for a fridge.

MSUcruisers Posted September 12, 2006 #9 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Supersloane, below is a site to find out more about individual cabins on cruise ships. We are also going to be one the NCL Dawn on October 7. I hope you will join our roll call. It has been quiet lately. www.cruisedeckplans.com/DP/Main/home1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supersloane Posted September 12, 2006 Author #11 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Oooh thank you for the link! I'll stop by the roll call but since we'll be the typical newlyweds, I doubt we'll be socializing with anyone other than each other once we get on the boat. heh heh.

Luv4dacruise Posted September 12, 2006 #12 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Just got off the Dawn a couple months ago, yes the cabins have fridges. Dad is also on insulin and found the temperature in the fridge to be adaquete for his insulin. Just ask your cabin steward for a sharps container, it is quite a routine thing for them, have no worries! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersloane Posted September 12, 2006 Author #13 Share Posted September 12, 2006 That is wonderful news. Thanks for that! Ok now, since you've all been so helpful, here's another question. We booked our flight on our own and are flying into LaGuardia. We have the option of booking a $30 per person transport fee with NCL. Is that worth it or would taking a cab be a better option? I've never been to NYC so I have no idea how far away (or how long a cab ride) it would be from the airport to the dock/port/whatever it is called. Thanks, supersloane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
