Just off Breakaway and no problem with gluten free meals. I am new to this diet, had breakfast in the pub most mornings and ate 6 of the 7 nights in specialty restaurants. I never ordered ahead. Only had issues two times. Italian restaurant waiter said he wasn't sure if he could get me gf pasta but did and the only time we had breakfast in one of the dining rooms. I think it was Taste but I think they just forgot about us and tried to use the gf as an excuse. Long story.

You won't recognize it. It is awesome and all the money Hershey Park brings in goes back to the school. My cousin/ best friend went there.

Check out Knobles. Much better than Hershey.

Just off Breakaway on Sunday and our bill at the end was $135.00. We did have the drink and dining package as well as purchasing additional dining before the cruise. You will have a great relaxing cruise not having to worry.

Hi Ann. Glad to hear you booked Anthem. She may be our next ship also. Glad you did not book Breakaway as the smoke last week was really bad. As a former smoker I am the one that defends peoples right to smoke. All ship that I have been on allow smoking in a few designated areas but this ship has way too many. And it reeks. Usually it doesn't bother me but even on deck at H20 it was real bad. Our favorite bar last time was Maultings. This time it was just way smokier. Even in the hallways and yes, even on our balcony. Even found a butt on my balcony someone threw on the third day. Maybe we just had a huge amount of smokers.

No longer any up charge items on the menu. I had the whole lobster in OB and it was OK. Only place we saw it on the menu.

Thanks for your helpful review! Every review I have read mentions the long disembarkation no matter if they do self-assist or not. Not looking forward to that for our BA cruise.

We were also on this cruise. Set alarm for 7, crawled out of bed about 7:05, out of room about 7:25 in cab by 7:50, Grand Central Station by 8:00.

Just off Breakaway today. Clam shells are now 39$. Definitely reserve at excursion desk, when we boarded the app would not allow us to reserve and the on board screen did not work either. Went down at for priority tendering at 9:10 am and was on the tender by 930. People that got off the ship after 12 had trouble finding chairs.

We too love CCL and RCCL. Just enjoy NCL as a very different cruise experience. It is different and we can't wait to do our second cruise with them tomorrow.

Do the splash academy and plan a nice dinner in a specialty restaurant. And have fun.

Love NCL scrapbook supplies.

I have a hard time just keeping up with the cruise line/ ship currently booked on. Feel like I have abandoned my RCCL friends.

On Breakaway in 2 days and yes, I had hoped to get these passes. Then I explained to hubby why I wanted to be in NY by 8:30 and he thought we don't need them. We have the large balcony. So you all make me feel better about not stressing and running for these. Thank you.

Please no! I absolutely hated those envelopes & always felt some of the staff were somewhat embarrassed (humiliated?) by the process. Besides, with the changes in dining you'd have to carry cash to tip at every meal. And what do you do at the buffet? Tip the people who put something on your plate?

As someone who worked in the service industry for many years they are are not embarrassed, they are grateful to receive the envelopes. I do take cash and tip each meal as well as bartenders. I worry the way it is done now they took a huge cut in tip pay.

This is one funny thread. When first married, I talked and consoled and begged my husband not to pack a whole extra outfit in his carry on luggage....how silly, I said, etc etc. and.he gave in finally. Guess what. The airlines lost his luggage.

Now that is funny. Did he ever listen to you again? :'):'):')

Just under 5'4" and that is one small balcony. Going to enjoy a large balcony in 3 days.

3 :'):'):')

i didn't see shanghai noodle bar. this is comp? is this near the casino? do you know what time buffet closes. tx

We love this. Although it was an extra charge our last time on BA it is free now.

Check the price and try to get a large balcony deck 9 forward or the mini suites under them on deck 8 (large mini) We were able to upgrade for only 30$ pp. Can't see you all on that small balcony.

Yes, bring your own. We had a great day there. Have fun.

As I mentioned, I did call and got a sort of confirmation that all is well, hence the nervousness

I would call again and if you get the same rep hang up and call again. You will feel better talking to someone more professional. Good luck.

I was allowed on the Bridge of The Pearl coming oout of Miami once. While we were still in the tidal basin, a sailing sloop crossed just in front of the bow. there was a lot aof swearing going on in several languages- non probably repeatable or translatable. The Harbor Pilot was on the radio to the Coast Guard with the registration number of the craft.

Would have loved to have witnessed that.

As long as you are there. Now if your parents took your Children on the cruise without you then they would need the consent.

Went to alaska with just carry on. Bought so many souvenirs that we had to wear all our heavy stuff home...to NYC during an August heatwave!!

Safe sailing

While mailing post cards at a post office in Alaska we witnessed several ladies buying those boxes 5$ anything you can fit. They were mailing home their dirty laundry so they had room for all the stuff they bought. You can fit a good amount of stuff in those boxes.

You can roll all of your cloths really tightly, stuff them in a large back pack, (internal frame pack). Once on the ship send everything out to be pressed.
