C cruise

When is the last day you can make online reservations? is it the day before... or 2 days before? I am trying for an upgrade to a spa room but if I don't get it, will it be too late to just order the thermal spa pass? 

Also love the SUN... enjoyed your report - glad you had a good time!

How much was the dinner show outright (without the dining package credit?)

 

IDK - I paid 24.99 each and I have the dining package however, I don't think it is considered one of my dining specialities

Hi

 

There is never any obligation to go into the water. At the "Stingray City" area very easily see the stingrays from the deck. The water is generally very clear and the water only 3-4 ft. deep. in many areas. There are many pictures online, check You Tube to reassure yourself.

 

hope this helps

have a great trip

thank you for this response -- I will check out the youtube videos 

the shops and casino are closed as are some of the bars - not all bars... but the pool will be delightful...

I really like the speciality restaurants, but I also think the free MDRs are nice too... I have a 3 dining package - booked those and then booked the dinner show .. and will use the MDR and/or the buffet the other nights...

Stingray city can actually be quite challenging if the water is choppy or if the rays get feisty.  I’m only about 5’5” and it was difficult to keep my feet planted firmly at times 

 

I booked stingray city mostly for my husband --- if I think its too much for me, can I stay in the boat?

enjoying your review....

enjoyed your report. were you in the thermal spa? do you know if it was crowded?

I honestly think this is ridiculous.... and those prices -geeze! Is there anyone that is seriously going to pay for this?

I ordered club soda with a slice of lime... 

on the Epic last NYE and they had parties in various places with different themed music in each.... they brought around champagne right before countdown - i was in the atrium at midnight and they dropped balloons from the ceiling... people were mostly dressed up... and we had noisemakers and hats...

I really liked Moderno ... but hated La Cucina- everyone at our table (6 of us) didn't care for it - the only thing we all liked was my appetizer of Pasta Alfredo ... loved Le Bistro - my favorite ... 

you did the right thing and really saved someone (Robert) from a headache over a mix-up! I can't believe NCL didn't reward you in someway... even a promise of choc covered strawberries on your next cruise would have been a nice gesture of appreciation!

Blow dryers are not found in bathrooms due to electrical safety concerns.

We had an inside room and the hair dryer was in the bathroom..

Ok, I want to start a poll. Who would

 

a) be honest and tell NCL about their mistake.

b) fly to Germany and share a cabin with Robert

c) change the guest to my wife and show up in Germany and have a great, although undeserved, good time

d) do nothing and not show up for the cruise

E) contact Robert and see what we could work out ..

I would have to call NCL and see if I could change the "guest" to my spouse..

We went to the Four Seasons and it was fabulous...

thanks for the great and informative review... I am sorry but I laughed so much about the pants...oh you must have been embarrassed but what a good laugh you could have for years to come!

Does anyone know how full our sailing is? 

which ship and sailing are you on?

wow- that person running up the hallway and knocking on doors should have been reported to the staff.... glad your neighbor took care of it! 

Again - really enjoying your report.... when you went to the excursion in Roatan, did you wear your bathing suits or was there a place to change before the snorkling?

I agree with the person that suggested an inside room and a balcony room - they could be across the hall from each other - or 2 inside or OV connecting rooms.... what are the ages of the children?

The way it is set up on the cruise ship, I don't know if the child in a high chair would even be able to see what the chef is doing.. When my kids were that young, they wanted to start eating as soon as they were put in the high chair and get down when they were done - I would have never taken them to this type of meal - you are served in courses and slowly... we watch the chef cook  and then start getting food... If 8 or 10 people are sitting at the community table, I doubt the chef is going to cater to the young child - most of his jokes etc are for adults... and it isn't fair for the chef to try and entertain your child, ignoring the adults at the table that are not part of your family.. It cost too much for this speciality restaurant for that to happen. 

The SUN is my favorite ship... 2 main dining rooms - we ate in 4 Seasons and the food was fabulous.... I didn't find the buffet really small - you just have to keep walking as it turns a corner where you might think it has ended... and there is another part an outside area..the pool and pool area is fabulous - big pool for a small ship... plenty of bars to relax 

No you can't bring water onboard.
