Two Wheels Only

Do you have the invoice that shows the FAS promo and 20% service charge? Did the rep cancel/rebook without adding the FAS promo or was it never there to begin with? If you had it before and paid for it, you don't need to pay it again. (If the promo is not listed originally, it correctly wouldn't be added automatically) Promo status wouldn't change in that case. If they were there originally and paid with the original booking, they should still be there. If they were never there and want to be added, the approx. $350 would correctly be added.

Yes.

Yacht Club...easy choice. The experience will be very different as far as crowds and service.

Relationships never work when one is too clingy. 🤭

These used to also be included but not anymore. However, if your butler is in a good mood, he/she might bring you either one (or both) without charge. You might get lucky (especially if you have children) based on our experience.

It used to be included but not anymore. I did it several times on Seaside when it was included. I also cruise with my young children. They like Yacht Club more than NCL Haven but they will gladly sail either cruise line.

Thank you for the review. The beach that your tablemates mentioned was probably Bimini Beach. There are cabanas for rent over there, too. Doing a "full lap" around the ship is something that is disappearing from modern cruise ships. I blame Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. Even in the Yacht Club, access to the forward-most part of the sundeck is limited....no "King of the world..... I'm flying..." moments there, either.

All of my cruises with MSC have been great. Even when sailing Carnival, RCCL, or NCL, I didn't have a "bad cruise". Sure, some are better than others and no cruise is really 100% perfect but I've never had a cruise that made me say "never again" to any cruise line. Sorry that MSC didn't work for you.

I'm really not liking the location of those Duplex Suites...😔

My previous Yacht Club cruises (including Seashore) were great, too. I’ll be back on Seashore in a few weeks so I’ll see if my experience is like my previous experience or if it’s like the OP’s.

Thanks. Would you happen to have photos of those 2?

That won't be an issue when lunch is served at Ocean House instead of in the Yacht Club restaurant.

There's sometimes a combo deal such as a ship model, hat, and backpack (or something like that) for just a little bit more than the ship by itself. I always use OBC so I don't really pay attention to the prices. However, once you see what people are selling the models for on eBay, you're more likely to pay the price on the ship.

When Seashore info first started coming in (before the ship was built), MSC had "sleeps 5" listed for the RS and OS. Many sites copied this info but even back then, MSC only allowed booking for up to 4. The info above is correct. Even if a Royal Suite is available, it cannot be booked for 5 but if the number of passengers is changed to 4, you can book it.

I've stayed overnight. March 2024, Seashore will be there overnight on the 3rd to the 4th.

The reservation is just a number. If you are a couple and reserve for 4, the restaurant will hold 4 seats together. Even if you get into a fight with the other couple and decide to bring 2 random people instead, the restaurant will seat you and the strangers together.....making new friends thanks to NCL. 😁

Be careful when viewing another ship in the class. In addition to stateroom numbers that might be different, bed location doesn't always match. In most cases, things match but not always.

Both are bed near balcony. 11310 has a slightly wider (not deeper) balcony. The slanted wall on the side is extra space in addition to the standard balcony. Other than that, both are basically the same as other "sleeps 4" standard side balconies on the Breakaway Plus ships.

Aqua isn't completed so nobody can give a review of that ship. The 2 previous ships (Prima and Viva) are slightly smaller versions but there are some differences compared to Aqua. The previous ships each had a go-kart track while Aqua does not. Aqua has something totally new (The Aqua Slidecoaster) which no one has ever tried. There are still details that are unknown with Aqua but information is dripping in and being covered in the following thread....

There are differences in balcony depth (by deck) and in balcony width for the aft-facing balconies on the Breakaway Plus ships (Escape/Joy/Bliss/Encore). The stateroom configurations and bed locations (near closet vs. near balcony) also vary. All 4 ships have matching sizes and stateroom configurations for aft-facing balconies although the stateroom numbers can be slightly different from ship to ship. If you have any questions as far as bed location and balcony size for a particular stateroom, feel free to ask.

The position of the lifeboats is the problem for Escape.... vs. the 3 other ships in the class...

I thought that the changes were to accommodate the World Class ships.

It can vary by ship. The OP is considering Divina which has the YC restaurant (Le Muse) on the opposite end of the ship.

Part of the answer will depend on lifeboat capacity. If your section is at capacity (even if your stateroom can hold more people), adding more people will not be possible.... Offer is capacity controlled and can be withdrawn at anytime. - Terms & Conditions Call NCL and see if you can add 2 people.

So am I but so far (based on what I've read), I'm glad that I didn't take the chance and book Explora I. Maybe after the wrinkles are ironed out.....
