Wow, just like OLD times. LMAO Sup dude? Just took a 1,500 mile cruise to the north woods of Wisconsin!

Time to start looking around and see who's going where and when.

Honey, you've been neeeding a cruise for as long as I've known you.:p

Happy to see you :)

I have looked everywhere for pictures og an inside quad, U299 on the Sensation, or any Fantasy class ship. Anyone?

I put together a thread a few weeks ago (located in the Carnival forum) which compares suite amenities across a few mainstream lines, including NCL.

 

If anyone is interested in comparing those - have a look HERE! In my signature, you'll also find links to other comparison threads. NCL seems to be near the top of the heap!

 

As far as suite amenities go, my vote goes to NCL - having sailed in several suites on Celebrity and Carnival as well.

 

Tom

Wow, this list makes me even more excited for our first cruise on NCL!! Tom, you eeren't kidding, NCL definitely appreciates their Suite customers.

SWEET SUITE !!!

 

I think you'll love it - just knowing what I do about NCL and (to a lesser extent) the Dawn.

 

Of course, 4237 and 4228 are our GO TO cabins on Spirit class ships - hard not to enjoy those - even without any real perks!!!

 

Tom

Those are the only two cabins we'll book on the Spirit class, were lucky enough to snag one for the canal transit two years ago, what a trip.

That's what I have for the Dawn :D Are you on deck 10 by chance?...I found out those balconies are a bit larger than on the decks below.

Nope, deck nine is where some other friends were at already, and ten only had the suite between other rooms, deck nine we got the outside one.

Well, I did it. Booked an aft Penthouse suite on the Dawn. The sweet young lady that helped me started telling me all the perks and I was just amazed. Thanks again Tom. BTW, we're sailing in 4237 on the Legend in 50 days. :D

Great choice :)

Wouldn't THAT be nice?? :D

 

I have read as much as I can on the NCL boards about what Butlers will do because I have my first suite on NCL next year.

Not one poster has had the butler unpack for them.....I may be the first in history to take advantage of that sweet perk. :p

I hate unpacking!! By the time the luggage arrives I am in the middle of having fun and hate (hatehatehatehate) to stop and go to the cabin to unpack. I don't care WHO sees my underwear. If someone else will unpack for me, I say, THANK YOU VERY MUCH (of course I will tip heavily) :D

Thanks for the comparisons Tom. Am leaning towards booking on the dawn for next November. ;)

Is there a brand or type of coffee that is better to buy and bring back to the states?

I was wondering the same thing. Anyone??

Great review Pete, and awesome pics too. Thanks for sharing.

Can't do it, too many on the books now. Sorry.:( I'm sure you'll have lots of fun though.

Some pirate you would be. ARRRRRRR. :p :D

Yeah right. Hey, where's the vodka? That time errbody.:D

I don't recall cranberry juice being offered in room service either. On a related note, on a past cruise when I really wanted a Bloody Mary, there was no Tomato Juice at the buffet and the bartenders would have had to charge for it. Instead I settled for a Screwdriver instead.

Ahh, but they do have tomato and orange juice on the room service menu. We get a couple of each every morning. :D

Ah yes, but tomato juice is on the room service menu. :D Order a couple of glasses every morning. And a couple of OJ's too.

I actually found the link in another thread on rum runner flasks about a week ago. Did I read where you can only get cranberry juice from room service or the bar?

Hmm, good question. That is DW's drink of choice, vodka and cranberry. I know I haven't seen it at the buffet drink counters.

This had to have been back a few pages. LOL.

 

Anything rum is good.

No kidding.

Nah Rum gives me heartburn, Vodka goes well with the juice on board though. Or the lemonade, or.........

Late seating, less kiddies, more relaxed atmosphere.
