How much did you tip the Butler and concierge? Seems like you used them quiet a bit...trying to find out what is appropriate and what not...

Thanks

Children are allowed in the Haven. The sundeck is 16 years-old and older.

So Kids under 16 can basicly only stay in the courtyard? So even deck 17 inside?

And some people are wondering why they run around there...no other place to be...

You can get a steak. 

 

Post #84 on the link below has the Getaway Ocean Blue menu. Other menus from the Getaway are on this thread. 

 

DO NOT randomly google menus since the Ocean Blue menu varies significantly between ships. 

 

 

 

 

Is that the new menu? Or the old?

On our last cruise the cruise next guy said they have some details to sort out right now. He said to check in february. That's when ncl will release lots of new itineraries..he said...we will see...

love your review!

thank you so much!

So what is this?

See attached screenshot

Is it for everyone Or just haven (just haven seems to be too good)

So bartenders and Restaurant dining staff and room steward don't get their part of the DSC in Haven? I mean it's 3 bucks more than non haven?

I know Butler and comcierge don't...but the 3 mentioned above...so for what do I pay 3 bucks more?

Not even close......  if you have to BUY the package for 2 people for 7 days it is approx $1,680 total ($99 per person plus 20% per day).... If only ONE person is drinking then they must drink 112 beverages at the max benefit allowance of $15 over the 7 days which is 16 per day.  If their beverage of choice is less than $15 then they must drink more. 

As a perk

As I understand those are $40...so 4 normal cocktails and your over...or roughly 6 Miller Lite...

chip in some soda and you are easily over very fast

My DW does not drink alcohol...but soda and virgin cocktails (5.4) and even for her it's a good deal...

If we could choose a cabin and pay less.....well that might change things...but since you either have the option to choose the perk and select your cabin or no perk and no cabin choosing...its easy for us

They recommend not to.  The whole ship is RFID.  We just had Lanie find us some plastic sleeves.  You never have to take your card out of the sleeves now.

Lets go Dbacks!

So disappointed Goldy is gone but that's life.

Love your report!!!

Thank you

Had them on my last cruise with the BA, but noone wanted to take them onboard

10% while in spanisch ports

It's been reported that Cagney's has removed Ribeye from their menu. That was my favorite meal on the ship.

Is it gone on all ships?

I would go with Cagney's again.

In fact, on our upcoming 10 night cruise we plan on going to Cagney's 6 times!

WE are looking at a 11 day cruise next year with the Jade.

Did anyone upgrade from the 250min package to social media flat on a longer cruise?

Thx

So can I use the hottub in the epic Haven with My 4 year old Or Not?

If Not than I can book a mini Suite...

Thx

anyone know if ncl still accepts them?

Thx

Love your live blog

Will be on the BA myself in Mid August...just can't wait for it.

Could you please post some of the specialty restaurants menus like cagneys and ocean blue...would highly appreciate it

Thank you and have a wonderful time!!

Can I use WhatsApp With the package?

On the NCL website I did not read something...

Also is IT good for videos too, Or text only?

Thx

Do I need a Visa if I stay onboard?

We were on the 12/29 NYE cruise caught in the storm . Just received an e-mail from NCL. They are giving us 25% off the cost of a future cruise. We have 1 year to use it. No worries we are going on the Gem next Christmas/NYE [emoji3]

Got nothing so far...

1 year for the cruise to depart or to just use it for a new one lets say sometime 2019?...

2018 we are pretty much set...

Thanks for the great trip report!

Regarding the SDP...I guess I have to bring the terms with me on my breakaway cruise in a little bit over a week from now...there is still no limit listed...will be interesting if they try to enforce it...

It is 1 entree and as many sides and apps as you want...

I just emailed NCL and I will print it out and take it with me...just in case...

Well...I tracked a few cruises...and most of them the new just cruise prize is more or almost the same (10-20 cheaper) than the X Cabin b4...so you basicly pay the same or sometimes even more (100 on one cruise) and you dont have the UBP included anymore...

As far as I see it...no reason to book just cruise...I rather book with my USTA...get to choose the cabin...will still check b4 every cruise...

And not to forget they increased the service charge from 18 to 20...

I could have understood just cruise if they dropped the prices ... but it is an increase...

Btw on all my tracked cruises they raised prices for the normal cabins...

Wow

Hope they still have lobster for the new years cruise on the BA...we plan on using one of our SDP meals there...

Yes. Only place on the ship that does.

Thx

Guess we will use on of our SDP meals there in that case
