I don't know what is important to you.  If the water slides, etc. do not interest you, you might want to give them a try.  We are.

 

I can't answer your question now, but will be able to answer from my perspective after Thanksgiving. 

Thanks Davy. The bells and whistles of slides, race tracks, laser tag etc are  not important to us. We're more into good food, great service, nightly shows and relaxation. Ill watch for your review after thanksgiving.

A number of former Norwegian staff members are currently serving in the HAL fleet.

I've heard! Was hoping I might get lucky and find some of them. I've missed the feeling of "family" NCL use to have.

We've done 30 plus NCL cruises and consider ourselves "loyalists."  We've also had a couple of lackluster, to say the least, cruises on the Bliss in the last 6 months that has us considering HAL.  Would really appreciate feedback for those of you who've experienced HAL. Anything/everything would be helpful. I know it's all subjective but I have been able to trust the posters I've read here. How does NCL compare with HAL? Service, food, dining experience, entertainment, general milieu, etc. Eagerly awaiting your thoughts!

Thank you very much sand and sea!

If you are looking for all the recent Bliss menus you can find them here: https://profcruise.com/ncl-menus/

Thank you standardized. Anyone know the platinum plus price cap is now?

It's not freshly made. I believe they use high quality boxed pasta.

Do you have a list of officers? 

Enjoyed your notes

Anyone have list of officers on Breakaway? Would really appreciate it!

Thanks everyone for the information

Also beware of jellyfish. We've been there when we were told not to go in because of them.

Thanks Hallux. Wonder why the addition. We've gotten so accustomed to things being taken away that it makes me suspicious 😁

Wow! Thanks so much. 

Making excursions reservations today and saw that it appears that a port was added. Puerto Rico seems to be added to our original itinerary.  I've never had this happen and think it may be in error.  Called NCL and no one had an answer. No excursions available for it (PR); NCL said they were all probably sold sold out....hmmmm...). Posted on roll call too. No emails received either. Will try and get a hold of TA tomorrow but hoping someone here may know something or had this happen. 

Are the non-alcoholic beverages listed included in the Free At Sea beverage package? Some look really good and I've never heard of them so hoping to try!

How far back can we obtain photos? Are they archived for a specific amount of time?

Thank you!  Ill plan on after noon as you suggested

What's the earliest flight time I should consider out of LAX? Let's say I could be off cruise ship at about 8a or so. I'm not sure how long drive is from port but I usually like to get to airport 2 hours prior to flight time. Thanks for any thoughts!

Looking for thoughts, advice, information, etc. on some NCL excursions I'm thinking about doing. Have looked elsewhere, on web, etc. but not finding enough to make a decision yet.

1 - Puerta Vallarta - "Tequila, Tiles, and Shopping" - anyone do this and have an opinion? I really want to do the Las Caletas Hideaway but it's not being offered on our April cruise for some reason (disappointed!).

2 - Matzalan - "Shrimp Fest" - we love the idea of fresh shrimp but it's costly (119$ each). Are there restaurants near port that sell fresh shrimp that'd be a better choice?

                       "Stone Island Beach Getaway" - is this beach swimmable? I was a bit concerned that we'd be using some sort of cart tractor to be brought there. Is the food good?

3 - Cabo San Lucas - "Adults Only Beach Resort" - anyone know which resort that's used? We went to a resort experience several years back and it was a bad experience  so hoping to avoid a repeat.

thank you in advance!!

Thanks so much!!! All very helpful!

I've tried to find an answer to the following questions on other threads to no avail.

(big thank you to those who post menus as it's helped me make dining choices!)

"Free at Sea" - are we allowed to choose more than one appetizer? (La Cucina and Los Lobos has so many).

"Free at Sea" - can we go to the Brewhouse just for a drink at the bar using the promo? How about ordering in the restaurants? (Terms and Conditions makes it see like we can't order in restaurants but I swear my friends did it in the past).

Any enlightenment on "surprises" (good or bad) on the Free at Sea dining (3 meal package) and/or the drink package would be appreciated!

I'm getting so excited now that I have these suggestions. Is the price limit $15?

Thanks so much for the ideas! I'm starting a list based on everyone's recommendations!!

It's our first time getting the "free at sea" beverage option. We are not big drinkers so looking for opinions on cocktails we should try. Any advice?

I don't want to post this in the cabin information thread bc it indicates no questions allowed. I can't seem to search on that thread. I don't see a compilation of ships/cabin info. Help! I'm trying to get opinions re room 11409 on Bliss. Thanks in advance
