Is the Amazing Race excursion in Cozumel "safe"??
EPTCB replied to SRQMom's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
No guarantees in life but 36 reviews: 35 "5" star and 1 "1" star. I would tend to ignore the outlier. Nobody reports the murder or assault of a loved one..... https://www.tripadvisor.com/AttractionProductReview-g150809-d11451419-Amazing_Cozumel_Race_Small_Group_Tour_and_Scavenger_Hunt-Cozumel_Yucatan_Peninsula.html -

Specialty Dining Confirmation Problem
EPTCB replied to MarkieMarkNYC's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It won't be a problem. I have four included specialty dinners on my upcoming cruise; two are listed as a la carte on confirmation e mail. -
Can you link to the video? Wonder if they were using a Latitudes platinum and above dinner coupon (which limits number of courses) as opposed to specialty dining package.....

"Onda - ....The amount of food you get with the credit is almost too much. You get 2 choices out of the appetizers, pasta or pizza plus 1 entrée and 1 dessert."

We checked in for a cruise last week: there was a one or two day delay between completing on-line check-in and receiving notification that e docs were ready to print.
-
Understand, just posted best picture I could find of the area and its relationship to the slide. As UKstages says different people will have different priorities, but I would personally look for a different cabin.
-
Believe this is the area in question. Tube might not bother me that much but location so close to where folks are exiting the slide probably would.
-
Depends on your feelings about nearby slide. https://boards.cruisecritic.com.au/topic/2879224-beware-ncl-prima-slides-obstructing-balcony-views-including-haven-rooms/

Suggestions for Ranigiroa, Fakarava and Huahine please
EPTCB replied to Piaa's topic in Pacific Islands, All
We can second this recommendation for anybody who might be interested in a small group private tour / shore excursion in Huahine. We spent two full days with Janou this year while visiting on the Paul Gauguin cruise ship; once in early June and again in late September. As Dbld777 says, the great thing about Janou's tour is that it can be structured in any way that you like with a wide variety of possible options provided on her website. She is quick to respond to requests and questions and is also happy to make changes to tour outline on the day of the tour if needed or desired. -
Same price on our 7 day Prima trip out of Galveston January 2024.

Diving with Manta Rays- other Favorite dives?
EPTCB replied to ltdemptynest's topic in Paul Gauguin Cruises
Have had quite good luck with manta rays while snorkeling in Bora Bora. -
Sixthman, owned by NCL, runs the themed cruises on the Pearl. I've done over a dozen of their charters and they have a great product: shows run on time with good sound and visuals. On the cruises I've done they cover the main pool so that people can stand in front of the main stage but on the Broadway site I saw a picture showing main pool is uncovered. Spa runs as usual. Latitude perks are mostly in effect although a few are not. Food is same but often close Le Bistro and the smaller main dining room for use by artists and crew. https://www.sixthman.net/latitudes

NCL Prima - Observation Lounge closed for the entire cruise
EPTCB replied to robinium's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Never said there was only one acceptable response, just said what ours would be. In our case, next stop would be the heated loungers with a view in the thermal spa area. -
NCL Prima - Observation Lounge closed for the entire cruise
EPTCB replied to robinium's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Responses will obviously vary person to person. Our response upon finding that the observation lounge was closed for the entirety of a cruise would be something along the lines of muttering "That's a bummer" and then wandering off to enjoy the rest of the cruise. -
another laundry question - never did it before on cruise
EPTCB replied to drpclarke's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It happens. -
Drift snorkeling Tahaa, should I do it?
EPTCB replied to jatinandayesha's topic in Paul Gauguin Cruises
I also vote yes. -
Guess you could try calling the ship directly and ask to be connected to shore excursion desk (+47 2367-8858 or +47 2367 8859). Although I've never tried it, my level of confidence that you would be successful and get on an excursion waitlist before boarding the ship is pretty low.

a funny thing happened on my prima transatlantic...
EPTCB replied to UKstages's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You were able to make it through 95% more than I could! -
What are your favorite drinks on an NCL cruise?
EPTCB replied to djpk2003's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We have a match. I'll make a note to see if I can find one on the Prima. -
How to get from PPT to Moorea Hilton, then back to cruise ship?
EPTCB replied to 1sttimerrt's topic in Paul Gauguin Cruises
Taxi or private transfer from Papeete airport to downtown ferry terminal. Kon Tiki Boutique Hotel across street from Papeete ferry terminal if need to spend the night in Papeete. Terevau (or Aramiti) ferry to Moorea: both companies operate in same terminal but one schedule may fit your schedule better than the other. Rental car in Moorea across from ferry terminal (if desire). Moorea fun. Ferry back to Papeete. Very short walk from ferry terminal to Paul Gauguin. -
Different strokes for different folks but it sounds like the pizza described in a recent Prima review by OrangeCatRamblers: "We had a quick buffet snack of focaccia pizza. Do not miss this! It's only available at lunch and it's an A+++ pizza."
