Our last ‘glow party’ was really frustrating because the cruise director basically stayed on stage yelling ‘it’s the glow party!’ THE ENTIRE TIME - just nonstop talking over the music - people were trying to dance, enjoy the vibes on deck, and he was just talk talk talk - I get the intro/welcome but after that just let the DJ do their thing!

I believe every dinner has music in the Manhattan room, but can’t remember if t hey have predetermined times, or just perform for a while, take a break, return,etc. - the dailies may have info on that (see prior posts) - and when the music is - but I’ve never eaten in there and not had music at all. Perhaps the first seating times or last might be silent?

We didn’t do reservations, just used the ability to show up and get a pager - sometimes there were wait times and I’m guessing near the performance time perhaps more so. It’s a huge room, with a stage - so you might be really close (super loud) or perhaps far away. We were very close and honestly could see well but would have preferred to be away from the stage and able to enjoy the music but still talk at our table. There is dancing, but the odds of seeing me on the dance floor are slim to none 🙂. — The comedians when we went were in the main theater several times so we didn’t do comedy in the smaller club. I think it’s first come first served when they’re in the club.

Live from Costa Deliziosa World Cruise 2024
HoosierShipmate replied to At7Seas's topic in Costa Cruises
Thank you @At7Seas for this report - am really enjoying it so far, the descriptions and details and photos are all amazing. I love seeing the places, the drinks and especially the meals during longer cruises and I’m looking forward to all the updates! Kudos and thank you! -
The drink package on NCL unfortunately only works on the ship itself. It’s pay as you go at private island/ports etc. We aren’t big excursion people but will say the snorkeling at Roatan when we did it was amazing. We hired a private driver and went to a resort with snorkeling right off the beach and it was terrific.

A lot of discussion on the whale lot - as of last week, we parked in the whale lot, which was being run by Hilton employees. They do have new fencing up, we’re charging $150 for the week as a flat fee. It’s not covered parking like the garages, but I felt very safe leaving my car there. It may not be ‘official’ by the port, but it’s a real parking option, very easy to access and you can park, take your luggage a very short walk over to the handlers and you’re done. It has easy access to both the ship and the Riverwalk shops.
