We stayed in cabin 10177. It was a 16 day cruise and the cost for a balcony was so expensive we decided on an inside.  It was fantastic, we were 25 steps to Spice H2O (the bar specifically). This was a sideways inside room and it worked out perfect for us.  I requested the beds separated to give us more room.  I had two future cruises booked in a balcony stateroom and have since changed the bookings to an inside room. 
 

I found a couple of pictures of our room.  One suggestion is to bring metal hooks for the walls.

We will be sailing with NCL next month.  Spending 5 days visiting the various islands.  We have the beverage package, do we get charged taxes on the drinks while in port?  Also, seeing as we are spending 5 days I’m assuming we never get into international waters?  TIA

Can anyone tell me if the Joy has a public bar outside the Vibe Club like they do on the Breakaway? Thanks!

I know I need the premium wifi for a school course.  I believe I will require Teams or Zoom.  Would it be best to upgrade to the premium wifi prior to boarding or do it onboard? Currently guests 1&2 have 150 minutes.

Looks like during our cruise my daughter's college summer online course starts.  Will the regular wifi work or should it be upgraded to premium?  I’m assuming it will be delivered through Teams or Zoom.  Thanks

Can anyone tell me your experience now that NCL is not providing this onboard?  Just something else that is now causing me stress.  We have a 2pm flight to Canada and need a PCR test to fly. From what I have read results will be emailed in 90 minutes at a cost of $95 each. Thanks NCL for making this change so last minute.

Question for Canadians who have recently cruised.  When filling out the ArriveCAN do you list all countries the ship has docked at or only the ports you get off at?  Not sure how to fill this out.  TIA

How much for a 5 day cruise? And where would you purchase them on the Breakaway?  TIA

Yes - we have done that with no problem.  Just call NCL and they will apply them.

Thank you

I will be cruising in January.  I have three more cruises booked for next year. Can I buy future cruise certificates and apply them to those cruises without having to rebook?  TIA

Have been loyal to cruising, specifically NCL.  However with the increase in costs we are now booking land based all inclusive vacations.

Looking at two cruises in 2021.  One is the Gem out of New York, 14 days, the other is 12 days out Tampa on the Jade.  Am I crazy to think about cruising out of New York in January????

We are in port from 3pm to 10pm, which pier will we dock at? We are sailing on the Jade in December. Thank you

Prices doubled. I think some cabins more than doubled. They basically shut people out from booking as it sailed about 60% full.

 

If you want to go, I'd book now. There are lots of us already booked from the day it opened for bookings.

Thank you MaryZ

Wondering if the prices tend to drop on maiden voyages? Really wanting to book on the Encore TA. Did prices drop on the Bliss?

I understand your frustration but it isn't the fault of the construction they ran out of some mixes. We had that happen one time when they ran out of our favorite wine. More than anything this is another reason for not sailing during spring break unless you have to. We try to avoid sailing from the first week in March til a week after Easter.

We were told when a ship is going into dry dock they run supplies down, so them running out early in the cruise IMO has everything to do with it.

We were on the Sun for the March 9th sailing. Construction had already started at that time. One half of deck 12 was completely closed and Champs bar was closed the majority of the cruise. This was a sold out spring break cruise, seating was very hard to come by unless you were out at 7am. There was a lot of noise from the construction, not my idea of a relaxing cruise. The bars were also out of mix to make strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas. Had I known there would have been construction done during my vacation I would have booked something else. Shame on you NCL for the lack of communication.

Sitting in O’Sheehan’s eating breakfast in San Juan after an awesome 11 day cruise. We took advantage of purchasing 4 cruisenext certificates which we used 2 per balcony stateroom on the Bliss December 2018. Anyone have any questions?

Glad you had an awesome vacation. We are leaving on the Dawn Jan 6th out of PR. Did you stay at a hotel prior to boarding, if so which one? Did you have any issues in San Juan?

Just received an email today saying my Embassy Suites reservation for January 6th is cancelled.

Has anyone stayed in this hotel? I know they are accepting reservations. Do they have a restaurant on site or anything in walking distance? Thanks

I just called Embassy Suites and they said my January 6th reservation is still confirmed. Should I be worried?

We are sailing on the Dawn in January and can't see on my docs what pier we are sailing out of in Puerto Rico, can anyone help with that? Much thanks.

Seeing as you do not depart until 9pm, can you check in then get off the ship later to explore SJ?

What pier does NCL use?
