I just was on the Escape and booked a 12:34 flight.  I disembarked right after the "walk-offs" (with your luggage). I believe it was the yellow tags.   Customs was a breeze.  Made it to the airport about 10:20-10:30ish and had plenty of time before my flight.

Happy sailing!

Thank you for all your responses.

I wasn't sure if the devastation in the Dominican played a factor in their decision.

I just saw this online in regards to Hurricane Fiona.  Has anyone heard anything from NCL  - and if so, was there a timeline on how far out they will continue to make this change to the itinerary?  Thank you!

Norwegian Cruise Line

Norwegian has modified its Caribbean itineraries to now sail the Western Caribbean. Voyages out of Miami that called in Puerto Plata, St. Thomas; Road Town, Tortola; and Great Stirrup Cay, Bahamas, will now have a new itinerary that will include Costa Maya, Mexico; Roatan, Honduras; Harvest Caye, Norwegian's private island in Belize; and Cozumel.

Does anyone know if the stereo/surround sound in the suites connects to blue tooth? 

Also, on the Sky, is it just Cagney's for breakfast/dinner that is available to suite guests or are there any other "Haven-Like" options inside/outside (i.e., private pool, hot tub, bar area, etc?)

First time in a suite on the Sky and looking for any tips, options, ideas, etc.

Thank you!

I'll get them and post them.  I'm excited for Key West as well!

It has been on my bucket list (not from a cruise), so this is a nice bonus.  I'm waiting to see if NCL posts an excursion for the trolley.  It will be more than purchasing it online, but you would get a $50 on board credit.  If not, the trolley ticket is cheaper online (so I've read).

Almost 3 weeks to go!  So excited (and packed.... LOL!)

Thank you Stormy!  Our itinerary just changed.  We are now doing:  GSC, Nassau, Grand Bahamas and Key West.  Is this what you did?

Roll call created - join in!  Once I receive the dailies for this cruise (thank you StormyNow), I will post for everyone.

Hi AshDawn -  I'm cruising solo as well.  I'm going to try to set up a roll call for our sailing.  I keep you posted.  Only 27 more days!!!!

Hello!  I'm so glad someone will be cruising with me! :)  I'm looking forward to feedback and dailies as well.  But it is a cruise, so you know it will all be good!

So I originally booked an inside for $378.00 and only had one perk (the free drink package). 

When the balcony dropped to $798, I cancelled my bid I had placed on a balcony room (I would have only gotten the free drink package if my bid was accepted).  I paid the difference of $420 and got a BC balcony instead of a BB balcony (priced at $878 - my "credit" for the price drop), all the perks, a $50 OBC, and I booked 2 excursions, so I get $100 back on that.  So basically it was only an additional $270!  Cheaper than my bid and I was able to get all the perks!  Headache yet?? LOL

30 more days!  I hope they fly by! 

Good Morning Stormy - 

Yes, I am from the Chicago area.  It truly is such a beautiful city. 

LOL - All we need is sunshine to join our post, and we have all the weather conditions covered! :)  

Thank you so very much for offering to email me the dailies.   I love planning ahead and getting excited about what to look forward to on the cruise.

It would be awesome if CC could pin a topic to the top of each cruise line thread where people could post the latest dailies from each ship.  I know I had mine from my last cruise and tried to upload them in my trip report, but it made them too hard for people to find.

GA Dave, that would be such a great forum to start!

I'm departing on 11/16.  No roll call for my ship yet.  First time for that.  Also, it looks like there are a lot of cabins left. 

I noticed a recent drop in prices on your sailing.  I hope you got a good price or upgrade!

Good Morning Stormynow - I am booked for November.  So, if you have the opportunity and time to do so, I would love to hear how you enjoyed the cruise, tips, must dos, etc.

Enjoy your cruise and thank you!!

Does anyone have the Sky dailies for the five day cruise from Miami to GSC (stop twice) and Nassau (no Key West) that they can post?

Thank you so much,

From an extreme over-planner :)

Are GTY rooms (not upgrade bid) assigned last minute as well?  31 days out and haven't received my GTY Balcony assignment.

Thanks for the tip valleyvillage!  I'll be on the lookout for Martin.

When I was on the Escape they all were only on the rocks only as well.  Though I would take one of those watermelon margaritas on the rocks all day long!

Thank you for your help pizza 123!

On the Star, can you have lunch at 5 O'clock Somewhere or does it just serve drinks?  On other ships it is under "specialty dining" on NCL's website, but on the Star, it is not listed.  Thank you!

I really don't know? I didn't see a lot of information about the ship itself in the Forums when I searched for the Star.  I wanted to see if the specialty restaurants offer outdoor dining but came up with nothing.   I did this itinerary on the Getaway on my very first cruise.  It was wonderful.  Looking forward to doing it again!

Thank you Mike, I appreciate your help!

I will be on the Norwegian Star for her Eastern Caribbean voyage (St. Thomas, Tortola, Bahamas) and was wondering is this the first time the Star will be doing this itinerary? Looking for the dailies, reviews, information, etc.  Looked around the CC site and was unable to find anything. Thank you for your help!

That is correct. The Swizzle Inn by the Crystal Caves.

Thanks again for your quick response!

About 30 to 40 minutes depending on which bus route (1, 3, 10, 11) you end up taking. Routes 10 and 11 are typically faster than 1 and 3 because they take a more direct route to Hamilton.
