NCL recently sent a similar email about six weeks ago. A search of CC should help you find it.

No.

Actually, I'm a steerage kind of guy. Plus, I'm too frugal/cheap/miserly to do the Haven. As I've said before, the whole ship is going to the same places. No need to spend more than is necessary to get there.

I wish I could like this post 100 times.

Chocolate Cowboy sure gets around.

Oh, no...the horror! When NCL goes under/bankrupt, what will become of the CC NCL page? There goes my social life.

Which one? If the timing's right, maybe we'll join you. Would probably have to be in 2026, though, since we're pretty much booked up until then. And it looks like the CC group cruise will not be happening.

We're Cheeseheads...but we're not too picky. As long as there is cheese of any kind, we're generally good with it.

We were on the Jade in February and we tried to leave it nice and clean for you. We loved the Jade, probably more than any other NCL ship we've been on. Take the ashtrays out of the bathrooms and the "No smoking in bed" signs and it's close to perfection. Oh yeah, de-smoke the casino and it would be even closer to perfection.

I'm just hoping they don't pull the plug on it on the Escape before September.

Who doesn't?

Looks like you captured his good side...

Well, if it was from Cagney's it may have been overcooked.

So,,,now it was a MINI-bus. There goes any sympathy I initially felt. It's not like it was an actual bus. Maybe he'd get more sympathy if he said he was hit by a MICKEY-bus. That story is just plain Goofy.

The hair dryers are Mrs. Schmoopie approved.

We have neighbors from Croatia. They always talk about how beautiful it is and that we really need to go. After seeing your pictures, I feel like I need to Split and get there ASAP.

That would just be sa-wrong...

This could be taken a couple of different ways...

Something tells me they'd still want him to wear pants. Otherwise, he'd REALLY be @graphicguy

What about self-debark??? Never saw that not listed before.

Actually, for us, it will be a twice in a lifetime experience. 😜 See you on board...

I agree. We've gotten off track a bit. Music is nice, but it's not even close to the top reason we cruise. I like the idea of @cruiseny4lifeto compile serious (or even semi-serious) folks to get the ball rolling. Of course, finding a cruise/ship/itinerary/length/departure port, etc., that the majority would like could be a daunting task. But it's been done before...

Now you've done it. Created serious Deja Vu (not the Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young kind) with this picture. When on the Jade in February, we parked our butts on the two end seats (by the green part of the bar) every night at 4:15 for 14 nights. Our favorite bartender would have our drinks (Cosmo with a lime and Bulliet on the rocks) practically waiting for us. Yes, I know it's a different ship, but the layouts are identical...especially in Bar City. Great memories...

It would probably be our last NCL cruise. We're doing NCL for the Mediterranean in a couple of months and the Panama Canal in 2015. We would like to try other cruise lines to spread our wings, as it were.

I believe it was actually chocolate, rather then espresso. But chocolate martinis also have an upcharge. She asked the bartender how much extra it would be. He said something to the effect of, "Don't worry about it." She put her card on the bar, he brought the drink, and walked away. After she finished it, he came back and said, "I see you liked it. Want a refill?" Naturally, being the chocolate lover she is, she said yes. She kept her card in plain sight, he brought the refill, set it down and walked away. Just one of the benefits of tipping your bartenders well, I guess.
