[DJCRUISIN]

Hi Shoreguy,

 

Can you tell me what the price of Domestic beer is and if they are offering any bucket or helmet specials. Always enjoy reading your updates. Thanks

Hi Shoreguy,

We cruised on NCL Star Feb 2 and a bucket of domestic was $19.75. Not bad, but we remember when they had 11-midnight specials of buy one and get one free a couple years ago in the Star Bar. Miss those days.

For those people leaving tomorrow, HAVE A GREAT CRUISE!!!. We've been home from our NCL Star cruise for two weeks, and I am already itchy to book another cruise.

 

I'd rather be on the Dawn will engine problems than stuck home this time of year. At least we did have temps around 50 today in the northeast. Spring has to be around the corner. At least our DD will arrive home from the Dawn without snow on the ground. I hate to give her back her puppy. She has been a delight.

 

Welcome home Shoreguy! Won't be long until you see the coastline lights and the Verrazano Bridge. Glad you liked LaTrattoria. First thing I ate when we got home two weeks ago was Italian food--seafood second night.

The 3/1 Dawn cruise WILL be in Samana from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. The information I received was through an e-mail directly from NCL. If I could figure out a way to copy the darn pdf I'd do it -- or attach it...:rolleyes:

 

Great news then! I was worried that you mis-read the 1 for a 7 as it the font was hard to read. I just didn't want you disappointed.

 

Have a great trip & check in now and then if you can and let us know how it's going, I'm on the next sailing.

165 miles from NYC - rolling along at 18.5 knots - plan is for VIP disembarkation to be around 10:30 am.

 

Bonus day today - 60 F this morning many got a last shot at the pools and hot tubs.

 

Buckets of beers are back by 5 get one free. $18.50 Domestic. Better deal buy one get one free in the casino after midnight some nights.

 

Wine special or lack of special - by 8 get one free on the 10 day cruises . Buy 10 get one free on the 11 day cruises :(

Thanks for all the informative posts. Hope you kept the ship clean for us. Sounds like you had a great cruise...

[shoreguy]

Picked up the pilot at exactly 8 am. Just off Sandy Hook and headed for the piers. My guess we should be docked in about an hour. Ravi brings our last meal at 9 am. Should be on our way home around 11am :(

[Smellytoes]

Welcome home! Now I only have to wait 6 weeks. This wait is killing me.

[SailAways]

Should be on our way home around 11am :(

One month from today we will be on the dawn! Maybe or maybe not the same itinerary!

 

Welcome Home to all the 1/18 cruisers!

[judyf]

That should have read 2/18 cruisers!!! I read the topic line.

[kimdave68]

But why is everyone saying 1/18? DST2007 affects the clock by one hour not one month. :D

It's the title of the thread, threw me off. I looked up and that's what I saw so that's what I put. I realized it after the fact!!:D :rolleyes: :eek:

My bad - :D

[smeyer418]

You know we all knew it was off but no one said anything because it was an "in" thing to know it was 2/18. We could have easliy asked Cecilia to change it but didn't...the bad is on the one who outed it.

What is your impression (no pun intended) of the menus compared to last February? Were the Dawn menus comparable to the Pearl menus?

 

How many evenings did you dine at Impressions?

 

Isn't the atmosphere even lovelier (at Impressions) with those screens/room dividers removed? A great improvement:)

I know I am not Shoreguy, I was on the 2/8 Dawn. I ate in Impressions seven out of the 10 nights. The menu was the best that I had on any NCL cruise and I have been on 9 now on 4 different ships. Among the new things I learned was the Impressions was originally intended to be the Bistro...
