Is M'Ville free for all on embarkation day or just Haven guests? It would be a nice option for all.......

I believe it's only for Haven guests and only the first day.

It's Margaritaville until 3 on embarkation day. Your beverage plan takes care of the drinks there which are great and I always like going the first day instead of the Haven since I tend to fall back on that the rest of the cruise. Enjoy!!

The only time that I didn't get the perks was when I did an upsell. I have always upgraded to a Haven so I pay the complete difference between what my comp cabin is and the Haven suite that I want. I then get all 4-5 perks that's being offered. In fact, my upcoming cruise is a CAS cruise. I was being offered a balcony and I chose to upgrade to the Haven. I'm getting all the perks of the Haven.

Ditto. Upgraded to Haven and got all perks that come with it usually.

I would book it in a heartbeat. I'd even pay more to be able to have a kid free option!

You got a few hours of internet free. Probably not enough for 13 days of blogging.

Actually I got probably double what you're assuming and I have a great data deal through my company. If I'm willing to pay for it, don't worry about it. Although I do thank you for your response

Hi! I'm going to be on the repositioning of the Epic starting out of Barcelona on October 30th for 13 days. I'm going solo but am outgoing and love to meet all sorts of people and try just about everything. Since I'll be staying in the Haven spa suite by myself I got the Internet included. Before I just go ahead and do it I thought I'd test the waters and see if anyone would like to read something like that?

This will be my seventh NCL cruise but first on Epic and first TA.

Any thoughts?

Where does everyone stay in Miami. We were looking to fly in a ay early for our cruise on the Escape. Does anyone have any suggestions?

 

Thank You in advance.

I've stayed at 4 and I'll never stay at a fifth. The 4th was the Doubletree by Hilton Biscayne Bay. Perfect!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!

I'm worried about not meeting any solos on this cruise as I'm not staying in the studios. I've never seen another solo in The Haven so just thought I'd try to find some other solos in my age range (I turned 37 2 weeks ago).

I'd like to do an excursion and I have credit for excursions but don't want to go alone.

So, anyone else traveling solo?

Thanks!

Thank you all SO much!! We are headed over now so fingers crossed this will go as well as possible:)

The security at the door of the terminal will direct you to the security desk right inside for verification of your reservation. No problem.

 

Lost bag and 2 sea days before your next port is problematic.

Thank you! Luckily it was just a smaller bag but of course had the paperwork in it. It was the luggage tags that really worried me since I've always just dropped the bags off ASAP.

Hi All,

We sail today (yay!) on the Escape and have hit a snag! The bag with our edocs and luggage tags didn't make it to Miami from Toronto and I can't access them online to reprint....anyone know what to do? Huge thanks in advance.

I LOVE smoking on vacation! I can't wait to be on the ESCAPE with my 1st drink and lightning up a cigarette!

So have all the way up and forward it is, will also try to get VIBE and hope one can smoke at the bar there as well!

I hate to tell you but you can't at the bar in Vibe anymore either. (It's why I bought the passes last time and was pissed so thought you should know)

The only smoking area in the Haven is on deck 19 all the way forward. Plenty of ashtrays available.

 

FYI, you can also smoke at the upper pool bar, Spice H2O and the casino in addition to the cigar room.

Thanks so much Tracy, really appreciate the info!

I know from my last time on the ship the Waterfront is no smoking just the tiny cigar/smoke room but I did hear that in the Haven there was a place to smoke. I wasn't in The Haven so didn't apply but this trip on June 11th I actually will be in a Haven Spa Suite so now I'm wondering if that was true. Can anyone confirm please?

You won't get your points until after the cruise so unless it's a b2b you won't get the points until you disembark.

Well I sort of figured but a girl can dream...just not on NCL!! lol

I'm a the bottom, soon to be second last! Yay! Just wondering, the night that happens do they acknowledge it and is it effective immediately?

I suppose I don't HAVE to,but I prefer an adults only area like H2O. I think I've decided that if I can get to H2O early enough on sea days, that I don't have to go insane trying to get Vibe passes. Would anyone agree with that? Never been on NCL so any insight is much appreciated.

Took the words right out of my mouth, I'm traveling alone to relax and have a good time. Depending on the ship and when you're leaving I can tell you what I would do..

But I think that position was received 5 hours ago. When I hover over the ship, that's what it says. Status is underway using engine but that was received 5 hours, 35 minutes ago. Although the Gem appears to be slightly ahead of the Escape and her last position was apparently 5 hours, 46 minutes ago.

Is there a way (or person here on CC that would be able to sort this out?) something about that the time it said that it was sailing seems off to me. Anyone know one of those members on here who can always sort out where the sips are and the weather?

The upsell number is 800-625-4309

 

Upsell and upgrade are usually just that,,, moving up for a small additional charge. Moving up to the Havens is usually a not-small additional charge (but cheaper than paying full price).

Anyone know the upset number that can be reached from Canada?

That one didn't work.

According to marinetraffic, the ship is on its way to Nassau and due to arrive on Friday as it should.

Is there a chance it was another ship in St. Thomas because she insists they're not heading to Nassau...🤔

Interesting, thank you. I guess she was FOS...

Yes it's Tortola first, then St. Thomas and then Nassau last. They're skipping Nassau and overnighting in St. Thomas. I'm wondering why? I heard it was weather.

Sorry guys, it's St. Thomas Tuesday, Tortola today (maybe they went back to st. Thomas) and Nassau Friday.

Not sure. Just took a quick look on accuweather and it seems fine. Mid to high 70s, winds capping out at 12 mph over the next few days.....so now I'd love to know why they're skipping it too. How'd you hear about it?

Person on my roll call, her husbands daughter or something? She's on board currently so maybe there's bad weather in the forecast for the way to Nassau, that would've been bad enough to make this with doing. They should have left Tortola at 3 pm and then arriving in Nassau at noon on Friday..???

:D I don't know what the weather will be like but I am with you on a sleepover in St Thomas. That would mean I could actually camp out in St John!

That's all I want to do, go to St. John's!!! Never enough time when I'm there...

Yes but they wouldn't have hit Nassau yet, I don't think, right? But they should have already left St Thomas and been in Tortola I think.......
