I'm curious why you had to pay in the specialty restaurant. Our Haven stay on the BA in March included free dining at all restaurants except Ocean Blu which was worth every penny, I think it was 25pp.

Vacations are a personal choice, where one goes and what they choose to spend. We all have different ideas what a good value is.

The Haven suites are worth every penny for us. It's all about what your comfortable spending on your vacation.

I am listed as platinum. But if you look at the tier benefits, the platinum awards are grayed out like it does not apply to my status.

I guess it's all a bit confusing.

I am aware that the Latitudes Points program has changed.

We just received Platinum status on our last cruise, 05/01/16. When I look at the website the one page states I have 77 points but the graph, if you will, shows us still at Bronze because of the points change system.

So my question is, are we grandfathered into the new system if we are already platinum?

Thanks in advance and I apologize if this subject has already been beaten to death.

Has the menu changed for the Chef's Table? Going on the BA in 4 days and if the menu has changed we may seriously consider it.

Thanks

We have done Chef's table twice and only received a photo of the group. I never heard of gifts. One was on the Jewel and the other the Breakaway.

Great review, thank you.

I vape in the privacy of my cabin and will continue to do so

Having a cruise in the future puts a little giddy up in my step everyday.:D

I suggest using this for inspiration...

I need to unsee this

So if you have the UDP, why wouldn't they let you bring your own wine on board free of charge? What have they to loose?

We are doing the BA to Bermuda the first week in May. We are going mostly for the golf, not really beach folks. From the research I have done, the water is usually chilly and the jelly fish are prevalent. I can let you know when we return how the weather was and if I get near the water, I'll stick my toe in and let you know that as well..

It apparently isn't the most popular time go since 30 days out there are still 18 Haven suites available.

Spa pass, H2o is a great place to enjoy the sun.

The spa on the BA has everything you would normally see in a spa of this type. The ceramic lounge chairs looking over the bow are wonderful. The pool is refreshing and relaxing. There is a sauna, a salt room and lounge chairs are all wonderful. I can not think of one negative.

I would choose a pass to the spa for the week over a massage if I had to choose between the two. We are booked in May on the BA and purchased our spa pass with the discount already. It's really what you make of it like anything else.

I dare say the possibilities are endless.

We have enjoyed the chefs table twice, once on the Gem and the other on the BA. Same menu both times. It's a really great experience and if you have never done it on NCL I would recommend it. Going on BA again in May and will not do it, (unfortunately) due to the menu being the same. But if you've never done it, I would highly reccommend it. Veal is one of the courses along with sea bass. Just my thoughts.

You mean you want your butler to have unlimited access to the gummie bears?

Instead of ship art, my husband and I love to purchase a piece of art in port. That way we have a souvenir that is a genuine piece of art, or piece of jewelry. We have some beautiful pieces from Canada to Tortola. It's all how you want to spend your money.

We've done it twice, same menu. It's one of the more memorable experiences on our cruise. We just may do it again on the BA in May.

Thanks.

Does anyone know if the Chef's table menu has changed fleet wide along with the restaurants? We did the Chef's table on the BA in April of last year and we are returning for a May 1st sailing. Wondering if the menu has changed.

Does anyone know if the Chef's table menu has changed as well?

Hi Folks, We will be in Bermuda the first week in May-2016. We plan on at least 1 day of golf.

My question is, since you can not rent cars what is the best way to get yourself and golf clubs to courses?

Is there a course that is more cruise passenger friendly than another?

What course would you recommend?

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

We are doing our first Bermuda cruise the first week in May. Our plan is to golf and don some site seeing. Has anyone else gone the first cruise of the season?

I don't agree with this. There is a misconception that if someone isn't in the Haven, they can't afford it. That's simply not true. There are lots of people for whom the Haven doesn't appeal for a variety of reasons.

 

However, there are plenty of Haven guests who consider themselves to be above everyone else, and you can spot them on this forum, but especially on the ship. It's important to their self worth to be sure as many people as possible know they are in the Haven. These folks are in the minority, thankfully.

I'm thinking you just made a broad assessment not really knowing what you are talking about. The beauty of cruising is the ability to choose your accommodations. Haven guests, like myself enjoy every perk granted to us, we pay extra for this and if you think we are elitist and snobs then so be it. I'm sure if you were offered a Haven suite you wouldn't hesitate to accept it, of course if you could afford it. There in lies your problem.

If you have a balcony, the balcony door has to be closed in order for the AC to work. Our steward informed us of that in April, he was correct.
