  1. Sailed on the Gem in a mini-suite in 2017. I was surprised there was such a small tv in the cabin plus the cabin looked dated. I preferred the Escape and Breakaway ships over the older ships.
  2. Don’t forget the Haven restaurant‼️
  3. I have a NCL BofA card that I received in 2016. Read on CC some people have more than one card so I recently applied for a second card and was approved. I have excellent credit and haven’t applied for any new credit cards for several months might be an approval factor. Some credit cards offered $200 cash rewards if you spend $1000 in three months after receipt of new card; but, don’t apply for new credit cards from different banks back to back…they check credit reports. 😆
  4. Amen 🙏. Tomorrow isn’t promised and you can’t take it with you. Don’t want to say ifa, shoulda, coulda, woulda. Enjoy life while you can. God bless!
  5. A friend arrived in Cairo, Egypt yesterday for 10 days to include 4 day cruise (attached photo). She said it’s a once in a lifetime trip!!! Life is too short so she plans a major vacation once a year. I would like to travel more but most friends I know are still working and I don’t like going solo. NCL Haven from Manhattan have become so expensive but I’m paying the high cost to be comfortable. I prefer quality to quantity. I wish I was more flexible like you. Enjoy your many ventures…
  6. I bid for the first time on a Haven courtyard penthouse and won a suite back in 2019. As a result I can’t cruise any other way…I have reservations for Haven in 5/2024 on the Joy which would be my second cruise in the Haven; and, I look forward to checking out the Haven Horizon Lounge. What I loved the most was the Haven restaurant, Back in 2019 I didn’t know how to take advantage all the benefits the Haven offered especially the dining conveniences. I will have two FAS specialty dinners but all my other meals will be in the Haven restaurant. I plan to have lobster tails and filet mignon as often as possible 😎 🍷
  7. OMG😱 How did you get all those wonderful meal pics❓Did you try everything⁉️
  8. Which cabins are best to be in when sailing from New York City to Bermuda on the Joy (port or starboard)? The Joy will be undergoing dry dock in January and adding additional balcony cabins by reducing the Observation Lounge. I have reservations for May 2024 and was hoping for cabin price reductions. I imagine now many cabins will probably have price increases in 2024. Do anyone have any information concerning changes to the Joy in 2024? Also, which cabins do you prefer on cruise ships (Port or Starboard)? Thanks.
  9. Wow…Iucky you! I don’t mind purchasing water if I’m guaranteed to get Acqua Panna.
  10. I agree about the plastic taste too. If you pour the water into a glass or water bottle it tastes better even Acqua Panna and Fiji water.
  11. I hope I can order a box of Acqua Panna on NCL Joy…I would pay $34-39 for a box.
  12. Everything seems to taste better in a glass. I stopped drinking can sodas when I founded bottled sodas tasted better.
  13. I was hoping the Flow water would be okay since my Latitudes rewards indicates I would receive one carton of water 😟. Now I don’t care if they deliver it or not!
  14. I was afraid the Flow water would not be too pleasing. I was introduced to Acqua Panna water on one of my NCL cruises between 2016-2019 and was surprised it tasted so refreshing. I use to drink Poland Spring & Deer Park until I discovered Acqua Panna and Fiji water…I drink more water now besides wine 🍷 & champagne 🥂. I’m also sorry NCL switched from Pepsi to Coke Cola. I don’t like Coke Cola so I will be drinking Ginger Ale/Sprite when I want a soda. Wow…$6.50 a bottle is too much. I’ve paid $2.50 for 1.5 liter Fiji water in local supermarkets. Can you get Acqua Panna at the bar in the Haven for free?
  15. Is Aqua Panna or Fiji water available on NCL Joy? It appears Flow water is the only type of water shown in cabin videos & pics. I’ve never tried Flow water and was wondering if it had a clean taste. Do anyone know if Flow water have as satisfying clean taste as Aqua Panna or Fiji water? Thanks
  16. Wow…what a list!!! I figured I would trust what bartenders recommended; but, I like your idea of trying a little of everything. Thanks for the list and suggestions.
  17. I enjoy wine and champagne but never know brand names other than Moët & Dom Perignon. I was wondering what brands of wine and champagne is available on NCL Joy. Thanks.
  18. In the past Cagney’s would be my first choice since I am a steak lover; and, Teppanyaki was my second choice. I enjoyed both restaurants backed in 2018 & 2019 on NCL Escape. I reserved a cruise on the Joy in 2024 and might try Ocean Blue plus Le Bistro for a change since both restaurants are getting good reviews.
  19. I’ve been to Bermuda 2016, 2018 & 2019 and felt very safe…there’s safety in numbers. Also checked out Bahamas in 2017 which was very busy. It seems 7 day cruises ends too fast so 10 days might be more satisfying. I’m hoping for a price drop so I will wait and see if it comes about. Thanks for your responses.
