So happy for your post cruise review. I would have loved to see your friends reaction when his wife hugged the Uber driver! Priceless, I’m sure. What were the things you liked in Jasmine? We’re on the Jewel in 59 days (yes, I’m counting)…and I’d like to try them one night. We did Jasmine on Jade in 2021 and I wasn’t impressed. Glad you enjoyed the rest of the food and drinks😊. I guess the void is indeed the entertainment. Sounds like WOF for a fee is a big ole BUST (surprise). Thanks for sharing! Now you can get on with your corny humor on CC. Welcome back.

I looked at a few TAs and I am pleasantly surprised that these long sailings are sold out. That’s great for NCL and their financial recovery. Enjoy your upcoming cruises.

Well I guess I’m glad I have my 100 shares😊

Wow, your cruise sounds amazing. Wishing you the perfect cruise…I’m envious…even with a sold out ship.

Here’s a thought. They may have a large number of crew departing in the US for summer Caribbean season and have capped occupancy on your sailing to ensure a workable guest:crew ratio. Selling full capacity on a ship as large as Escape for a 16-day TA doesn’t seem reasonable. Even the absolutely packed spring break cruises have inside cabins available two weeks before sailing.

And MSC coffee is awesome. I even bought two coffee mugs in the gift shop to remind me how good the coffee was.😊

I discovered this secret (kinda) in 2022. It was CC that let me know about the Deck 19 hot tub. Obv it has become more popular. We cruised in November and there was hardly anyone there. Another CC poster cruised over New Years…and it was packed. Timing, I guess is everything.

Oh my! Sad if accidental. Shame if on purpose.

12 and I lived in Florida…lol. However, had I lived close by…who knows. Kids exercised a whole different level of freedom in the ‘60’s-‘70’s. I shock myself sometimes thinking about some of the things I did and the distances I traveled without adult supervision.

You’re under the pool deck. If it is a warm weather cruise you will hear them put out/take up the loungers (but you’re likely out of the cabin in the evening). If it is a cold weather cruise, fewer chairs will be placed out. Also, Port side on Deck 15 is the smoking section. You might smell smoke on your balcony (not confirmed).

Use your imagination🤣

I’ve been watching several Caribbean cruises the last few months for late Feb, early Spring and late spring. What I’ve seen is a couple weeks before sail date the only available cabins have been inside. And, those cabins were no bargain.

@justhappy Belated Happy Birthday 🎂🎉

Lol…agreed. For us it is a little laugh, but I will say the tag/luggage combo does create a more unique bag.

Great tip. I need to redo my name side on my Not Your Bag tag😊 On the cruise after I took someone’s bag, we saw a fellow cruiser with the Not Your Bag tag. To Amazon I went.

If you still work…lol😊

I was a bit too young (not by much) for Woodstock. I did own the albums and could sing along. My Woodstock-esq festival was in 2016 in Indio, CA…which is the site of the annual Coachella. Our 3-day event was called Desert Trip but was known as Oldchella. 🤣 The 3-day event featured Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, Neil Young, The Who, Paul McCartney and Roger Waters. It was crazy seeing these old rockers still playing and jumping around the stage…especially Mick Jagger.

I don’t know who you are, but if I ever need a laugh, you always deliver. Thank you🥰. Really😊

OMG, love Far Niente. We visited Nickel and Nickel (sp?) almost 20 years ago… which is the vintner of Far Niente. When we sailed Bliss in Nov we didn’t have FAS+. I survived on the basic Prosecco, (which I like )…tough, I know.🥰

I did that to a Who concert in the late 80’s. I told my now DH that beyond Pinball Wizard I really didn’t know a lot Who. Well…excuse moi…I sang to every song!!

@zqvol clearly you LUV NCL. Are you paid by the 🤣?

Lol. Perhaps. What’s funny. I said to DH before Donna Summer that I really didn’t know sny Donna Summer songs. And then, after the performance, I was like yeah…I knew most of those songs. I also can say I don’t know alot of Taylor songs…but I bet if I saw her show I would probably know her songs.

You didn’t overact if when you made your final payment The Donna Summer Show was part of the entertainment lineup you were expecting based on the fare you paid. Disappointment, perhaps anger and questioning your purchase decision happens after final payment when NCL modifies your expected entertainment and subsequently your value proposition. You are entitled to your feelings regardless what anyone on CC thinks. that said, Prima is a nice new ship to discover. Wishing you an amazing cruise.

Lol, but at least you know you’d be cutting in if Taylor was sitting on your lap🙃

We loved PV, especially the Malecon. But, I have to say, in November it was soooo hot and humid. I thought I would melt, and my hair was one hot mess. BTW, saw the same KFC and tried yo get a pic for @cruiseny4life. Lol. I introduced a hotel brand in Shanghai in 2008. The difference between Pudong and Puxi sides of the Bund were staggering. The ex-pats living there told me about while Puxi had the most incredible architecture…the banks were still pen and paper 🤷‍♀️. My visit was def eye-opening. Enjoying your Live!
