Agree - keep in mind it's not NCL making the cakes on behalf of Carlo's. It's Carlo's making the cakes and stocking them on the ship. They need time to make sure they make all the cakes and the treats to accommodate 4,000 people at least a few weeks before sailing. Don't worry - I'm sure they make extra cakes in case people who didn't order ahead of time decide they want to buy a cake while on board. I'm sure you will still get your cake. Have a great trip!
I highly doubt that - any more than Zakarian making the meals at Blue! :rolleyes:
-
Ha! Thanks everyone.
One question - while I'm thinking about it - if you don't mind. Which side was the Statue of Liberty most visable from - during sail away?? Thanks!

Hey friends! As I mentioned a few days ago, I’ve been nominated for Crew Member of the Month on Carnival Cruise Line’s Facebook page. Carnival posted my nomination today, and voting takes place tomorrow (Monday, April 15). I’m up against some very admirable competition, so I hope to have your support! Here’s what to do:
(1) Wait until Monday for voting to begin.
(2) On Monday, visit this link to place your vote:
https://www.facebook.com/Carnival/app_138610296262637
You cannot vote today (Sunday), and “liking” the post and commenting on it do not count as votes (although you’re free to do either or both!). Remember, voting will take place on Monday, and not before then. Thanks! Please spread the word!
Here is the a link to what is posted on Carnival's page:

I sailed with Ben on the Liberty in Dec, he was a blast. He is pretty young, but very enthusiastic, and a great entertainer. I am THRILLED he is going to be on the Breeze, and am looking forward to hanging out in the PB in Aug.
OH, he just ended his Liberty contract last month, that's why he isn't on the list anywhere.
Thanks!!

Yay!! I heard yesterday that John Heald would post this today. :D
So...Ben Gentry is he new....returning to the rotation.....or currently placed on another ship. I may have missed it - but I don't see him curently on the list.
He's got quite the job following Ron on the Breeze!! ;)
-
Michael Dardis is heading to the Legend. I'm badgering John Heald for info since he stole Mike away from us fall Breezers. Hoping to have some info soon.
Hope so! I will keep watching.... ;)
-
I'm also cruising on the Liberty in April and I think the piano bar entertainer is going to be a HUGE disappointment. It would seem that I'm going from the best entertainer when I was on the Breeze in December (Ron Pass was fantastic!) to the worst entertainer (Peter Brenner).
Check out this link video and I'm sure you'll agree. :eek:
WOW...if that is a typical performace for Brenner - it would be VERY disappointing after enjoying Pass!! :o
-
Ok...who can tell me about MIKE DARDIS???
According to the post he put on Ron Pass' fb page - be will be taking over for Ron on the Breeze June 2 through November 17th.
So now I know who will be there when we sail the Breeze again in August!! ;)
So...now I hear Dardis is NOT going to the Breeze to replace Ron. Anyone know that for sure?? Any idea who it might be - if its not Mike Dardis?? :confused:
-
Looks like it! There are photos of 8428 for the Victory - on cruise line rooms dot com.
Enjoy!

As Joanne posted Russell Villarin, "fresh" off his second stranded at sea engagement, is heading to the Sensation next week. If he waits until it home ports it will be 2/21 that he boards. So that will be my assumption.

When might we know who will be on the Breeze in August??
Absolutely LOVED Ron and Sylivia when we cruised the Breeze week before last and just yesterday we just booked our "Breeze...again" cruise for August 11. ;)

Probably. 8 Day menus are usually 7 day menus plus menu 15 stuffed in the middle somewhere. I think they are about to change the menus, anyway.
Switching elegant nights around does not necessarily mean they switch menus around. Perhaps just clothes.
I would wait until on the ship and ask the maire d' what the order is and/or make reservations for a couple of nights at the steakhouse and cancel whichever one you don't want.
Sorry.
One other question - if you don't mind....
Are all of the menus available on the TV when you board - or do they still post them one day at a time? :confused: I can't remember.... :o

Sarge -
Is there a "typical" order to the Breeze 8 - day MDR menus?? I know the can be in any order - but is there a regular cycle?? :confused:
I know that they have moved Elegant night to Monday on our sailing to accommodate the Super Bowl. Does that mean that day 2 and 3 just flip flop - or does that kind of change effect the entire weeks cycle??
We are trying to figure out which evening we want to do the Steakhouse and we usually base that on the MDR offerings. So that is why I am trying to figure this out.
Thanks!

Okay
LOL...now THAT is the perfect ending!! ;) :D

I was reading on John Heald's FB page that they are experimenting with opening the Punchliner Brunch an hour early. That should help some with those who object to the later opening and also shift the rush away from a more civilized hour when I might show up. :p
{I should add - on Carnival Breeze - but it sounds like a hit}
I saw that too....
So - do you recommend the Brunch?? What was your experience?? I was really looking forward to it - but then I've seen so many mixed reviews - now not I'm not sure. :cool: :confused:
As ALWAYS love your reviews - and pictures - and look forward to whatever is up next! ;) :D

NCL couldn't make this more confusing. I believe I am safely booked in a haven aft facing penthouse. I am on the 12 deck and for what it cost it better be or I'll be oe unhappy camper! Looking at everything I think that the square footage I posted is right for the aft facing penthouse suite but I couldn't swear what the layout will be or which cabins are actually the suites and which are not. NCL really has not done a good job with the information on their site dealing with this cabin. They still have not even posted a floodplain for it.
I think if your cabin is on the "corner" - you're good! ;)
Evidently the floor plan doesn't exist yet :o....according to my PCC. She promises to send it to me as soon as she gets one :rolleyes:
-
I was looking at the Beakaway site (thanks for the link!) and I didnt see an aft NON-Haven penthouse Suite. Did they make all the aft penthouses all Haven (with the accompanying higher price)?:confused:
Just to clarify.....I think the Breakaway link we have all been looking at is not correct when it states that all aft facing cabins are "Haven Aft Facing Penthouse Suites" S6 cabins. :eek:
The problem seems to be just with the block of cabins on 9 - between the corners - that does not give the correct information when you click on them. If you go and try to book 9322 on the NCL site - it is NOT and S6. It is a B1.... a "regular" Aft Facing Balcony cabin. NOT a suite and is not included in the Haven. :o
It made me wonder - when the site says there are only 8 Haven Aft Facing Penthouse Suites available - how all those across the back could be in that category. So I did some research and some mock bookings.
I could be wrong - but it looks to me like each of the corners on 9, 10, 11, 12 and 13 are the only S6 - Aft Facing Penthouse Suites with Balcony cabins. 2 on each deck means there are actually 10 available - so that is a second mistake on that site :cool:.
Sure hope no one has booked those aft cabins on 9 - between the corners - based on the information on the website that says they are Haven suites :eek:
-
I keep hoping for some aft photos too!
We are in a wrap on 6 and would like to see some "real" photos. Love the pictures that Heald/Carnival have posted - but I'd like to see some of the ship and the cabins from regular cruisers too.
*fingers crossed* that we start to see some soon! ;) :D
-
Anyone else feel that they just read a post by Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory? :D
Good review. Thanks.
Now that's funny. Since there were 4 of them, I suppose the other 3 were Leonard, Howard, and Raj.Looking forward to trying the Epic food in August.
Ha!
Now...I don't care who you are - THAT is funny!! ;) :D
menu for carlos bakery on breakaway
in Norwegian Cruise Line
Posted
Yes! Thank makes MUCH more sense.
We can get cakes "from Carlos's Bakery" here in one of our local supermarket chains - so he's already trusting is recipes to those outside 'his" bake shop! ;)
