SeekingKillerWhales!

I was on the Sun in August, so not a Breakaway class ship, but I will never do the 5th floor again. Very loud engine noise. We like low as possible for motion sickness avoidance, but I will never book without cabins both below and above me. It was unrelenting. Still a great cruise, but that was the one mar.

It does, but I just booked a solo balcony on the 10th deck, same as my friends in the studios. Very excited! Of course, according to my account on NCL, I have only 533 days to go!! Grrrr. 😄 Thank you!

I forget how picky Dali can be about storing pics. Anyway, this was in response to the comment about not seeing bears and raccoons in thongs in the nationals parks. Hopefully this picture sticks, because it was one of my better AI efforts. 🙂

Is there any chance you are travel in one of the "solo" cabins? If so, you have access to the Studio Lounge which has an espresso machine and makes things like cappuccinos. (No idea of quality.) All included with solo rooms. That's what I'm doing because I can't drink $13 worth of coffee per day, and I'm pretty much a non-drinker at this point. If I decide I need Starbucks or a Mudslide or a soda, I'll just buy them, but most of my coffee needs, and thus most of my needs, are met. (Another benefit to being single and not willing to share with others. :D) Have a blast!

Thank you DorothyB!

Did my picture turn into text for everyone, or just me?

Hi Everyone: There is a group of us singletons planning a trip on the Getaway, and right now we have 5 studio cabins booked. However, the solo balcony is a really good deal and I am tempted to book one instead. But would I still have access to be with my friends in the studio lounge? I.e. would my card allow me in the lounge? I've read conflicting reports, so I thought I'd bring it to the experts! All advice/knowledge gratefully accepted. Susan

Not what I've heard....

Thanks for another great review. Can you add a link here when you post about the Christmas cruise? Love reading your detailed posts! And wave if you are ever in Aberdeen! (Or passing through to the beach.)

Looking forward to it.

Sorry about your loss and the missing of the cruise. 😞

How does the complimentary ice cream work? Well, the first day it doesn't seem like it does. The second day you realize it is hard at work when it takes a little more effort to get your pants buttoned. By day four it is hard at work expanding your lower stomach and equalizing that increase through your hips. And finally, in an extreme burst of productivity, it settles into the space below your chin where it lingers for weeks after you return home. It continues its hard work, until you massively step up your workload. A very efficient worker bee that doesn't "cost" you a dime. 😉

Wait, y'all have access to all the M&Ms you want and you waste your requests on steak???? Pfft. 😄

Ahh, bummer. (Well, yay for the fish.) But now we have photoshop....

If you stay at the Edgewater you can fish out of your room. Just like those four long-haired Brits did back in the 60's.
