Ok just figured out you’re leaving today. Forgot to mention that Norse will do upgrades to Premium during boarding for as little as 40$ though more importantly for the red eye in the other direction. In terms of food: smoked salmon bagel was plentiful in terms of salmon even giving the other half of bagel. Cookies are available in the ice cream section by request like a secret handshake. Our cruise director was Richard Matic who is a ball of energy with his daily rainbow collection of sparkly blazers. I know him from years ago from the Dawn. He is subbing from the Bliss. safe travels.

Hello Just off the Escape. Some glitches primary in Shore Ex but overall a good cruise. I am catching up on your excellent semi live as I get ready or my flight home after 3 days in Rome First embarkation was delayed by 3 hours as well due to provisioning in Port Canaveral. We ignored the changed time showed up at 11am and was in Osheehans eating at 12:30 we also took Norse Air in October BOS to Gatwick for the Getaway TA. It was one of the best flights ever. I was very concerned about cancellations which was their MO. We actually upgraded to Premium the day of the flight for about $200 more making our 1 way flight to England for about 400 for an international first class experience.

Cruise has been fantastic. In Bermuda now with perfect 70 degrees. Using my husbands hot spot as he got the Verizon month long.i got cookies yesterday at 3:30 by asking for it.. they gave me 4 choco chip but only took 2 maybe i will be sorry.No hash browns just cold country potato’s at breakfast. Food is relatively good

Ah the Prima! We are scheduled to depart at 7pm. The late check in has passengers a little flustered given Mondays eclipse. So rather than enjoying itgr eclipse with drink in hand most will be trying to check onto the windowless Port of Manhattan. Perhaps later check ins may be a new norm who knows. Safe travels to you and to the Prima and prob read your review after my cruise.

How ya doing Henry? Which TA are you on ? Are you doing another semi live?

Didn’t consider that option. Thanks.

Wonder why the passenger less Escape is arriving later on Monday, a couple of theories: 1)they are going slower to save on fuel. 2) they need a ship fix 3) skip 1st passenger lunch to save money 4) crew doesn’t want to end their eclipse party 5) because they just feel like it. Any other ideas?

Although Cadillac Mountain is beautiful, you are not missing much in Bar Harbour. It is an overpriced tourist trap. They want tourists on day trips so that you can pay their parking fees. The entire town is metered so you have to pay to park even for five minutes to get a cup of coffee. Boston is a much better choice unless you are from there.

I always order 2 salmon bagels and make it one sandwich. They have been serving 1/2 bagels for a while and salmon has been decreasing in size.

I remember how the Cayman Island full day NCL excursion was like an hour late with everyone cheering as 40 of us boarded. I wonder if our delay helped other late comers. Anything with an element of risk of being unable to get back to the ship on our own I will take a ship sponsored excursion. If I do independent I make sure I have my credit cards contact lense stuff and - one day meds just in case. I am finding ship excursions are not that much cheaper now with FAS but certainly less people.

Totally agree about limited Indian food. One entre along w white rice. Would have loved a second entre even an appetizer kind samoas. Same thing with Chinese - one vegetable entre with two types of rice. Where is the beef . I’m someone that doesn’t like to mix types of food I.

The Family SJ suites on the Dawn for me was the most cost effective nicest option. Though no Haven we had suite perks plus breakfast and lunch in Moderno. My first Club Balcony did not impress and for now staying with my standard balcony

Hi I will be on the sailing. Deserts in the main dining room and specialties are very good. For some reason I don’t like the buffet deserts as much. They are too gelatinous for me. Sometimes I see the deserts from the main dining room the following day in the buffet. The soft serve in the buffet is excellent. There is also hard ice cream in the buffet.

This is my Saphire cruise and was wondering if they serve wine at the Dinner with the Officers. I don't have the Beverage Package as DH is not a drinker so I was wondering if the wine would be gratis? If so would my husband be able to get soda?

No but I am sure folks would pay a high price after a week of no cookies in the buffet. I suppose one could do a clandestine operation with secret codes in dark alleys or hallways.
