I often travel solo and when booking restaurants, sometimes to get the times I want I have to book tables for 2, 4 and even 6. Once on board, it's easy to change all to one.

Charry (not "Cherry") is assistant concierge to David Newball on Escape. Deepak and Nomita are GM/assistant GM on Encore, Alvin is currently CD on Escape and as most know, Papi passed away from Covid.

When I was deciding on what excursions to take on my upcoming cruise, I found it so helpful to read the reviews on NCL's website. Some excursions that sounded great had some terrible reviews and others enlightened me that it might be an hour catamaran ride followed by a 45 minute bus ride to get to a particular place (something I wouldn't be interested in). One thing I did notice is that most excursions only had a few reviews (maybe a few had 10 or more but that was the minority). Considering the thousands of people who take excursions, I was surprised that there weren't more reviews. To those who post them, thank you. And if you do take a ship-sponsored trip, I would love to read about your experience. It really helps especially with the high cost involved for most of them. Tracy
