Here is a good webcam. The dock is by the tallest building behind the train station.

Anyone know what ship Arnie the butler is on. We had him years ago on the Jewel. We are sailing in a suite on the Gem at end of the month and hoping he's sailing with us again .

Arnie is on the NCL Escape.:)

Thank you for the link Foremco, but when I try to select a country, it won't let me. The box is blank. Maybe it's just a bug with the new site? I've tried in Chrome, IE and Firefox with the same results.

 

Smooth Sailing! :) :) :)

First on the box on the left you click on Central and North America. That fills up the center box with choices like Canada. :)

...Knowing that next week at this time we will be on a ship. :):p;):D

If you can't wait for 2016, some of the cuzins are going on the Jewel to Alaska in September. Come and join us!

Thanks Mary, that sounds tempting. :)

It is a great itinerary, they added Bonaire. We are always ready for a group cruise or any cruise for that matter. NCL does a good job with the entertainment schedule on longer cruises.

I also checked prices for the fall 2016 Panama Canal repo on the Pearl and it is almost twice the cost of the Dawn repo.

Maybe after the holidays the cuzins will start planning for 2016. Now that the 2016/2017 itineraries have been released everyone can check their schedules. Always exciting going cruise shopping and more fun than Christmas shopping, especially on the Saturday before Christmas.

Hi Ted,

We love the repos starting or ending in NOLA. Often small price breaks show up closer to sail date. We has so much fun in November it would be nice to do a repeat.

Stay warm, sunny and 70's in SO CA....Pat

The Dawn 2016 fall repo.... Boston to NOLA is 10/28/16 to 11/11/16. Our PCC had the information but it is not yet listed on the NCL website. Pricing was a little high but with the added amenities not too bad. A refreshed Dawn after dry dock would be an added incentive.

Loved Arnie C.

He was the best! Hope to have him again.

I love checking this site out... thanks for posting.

I like it too. :)

Hi, I know there is a website that can tell us how many ships will be in port on a certain day. I tried searching here and can't find anything to answer my question. Will you please tell me where I can find out this information? THXS.

Would Anyone happen to have a 7 day fun times from their Mexican riveria trip ?

I found this with a quick search.:)

I just got off the Carnival Splendor yesterday. It was our third cruise on this ship.

I did not see anything like you described, in fact just the opposite. We spent many a hour on the lido deck playing cards at different times of the day and night and were amazing at the thoroughness of the cleaning that goes on by the crew. Not just superficial wipe downs, but serious cleaning was the norm. The fact that there are 3000 slobs on board makes the cleanliness of the ship even more amazing.

As for the hot chocolate machine, there is no milk in the drink, it is powdered mix combined with hot water, so it is hard for spoiling of a non existent ingredient.

We had great service with You Time Dining, but that depends on your specific waitstaff.

Better luck on your next cruise ship choice!

Great post, we were on the same cruise and the week before. We had two weeks of great service with YTD. I have the extra pounds to prove it.:)

We only have one ship left on the West coast and we don't want to lose it. We would sail on the Splendor next week if we could.

Mike

Grampy....you WIN! Hope you don't mind, but I saved yours and it is now my wallpaper. Love it! Counting down the days til we're there. Thanks.

We both win, we are cruising soon on a great ship.:D

This is the wallpaper on my computer.....note the TX flag to mark our location! We're back on the Miracle, aft balcony again, in a few weeks. Love this ship!

 

Nice, here is mine.:)

Did you guys know that my Pat put the numbers on this picture years ago and it is still going around? We love our aft cabins.:D

Claim Jumper! ;) http://www.claimjumper.com/

Very nice! May I ask what program you used to make the collage? I'd like to do something like that with some of my photos.

Thanks Sherry, my wife uses Photo Elements. It took a long time to learn but well worth it. I just take the pictures.:)

I love your pictures.

This is from our recent Carnival Legend cruise.:)
