Must've been a cache issue or just bad timing, but I have the option now..

yes

not sure what I'm missing.. but not seeing that..

same.. cancelled and re booked a few items...

One thing you'll find about NCL vs Royal is the prices are what they are for internet, beverages etc etc.. Dont have to wait for deals or watch for sales, or wonder how much they will decide to charge.. 🙂 Have a cruise planned for a friends 50th next year on royal and drives me batty that you have to try to guess when the best prices for drinks packages are.

Best part IMO is I do it in just a calm relaxed way lol.. Don't yell at them, dont get in their face... That really makes them mad.. I dunno, guess my entertainment has changed over the years.

Yes you can as long as it says "up to 4 guests" As long as you are all good with being in the area and the Epic's "unique" bathroom design..

Yea, I guess it used to bother me if I felt like I hurt someone's feelings by pointing out their rudeness.. Now I grab their feelings, jump all over them, hit them with a hammer, set them on fire, dunk them in the toilet a few times and smile the whole time.. (their feelings of course, I wouldn't actually set a person on fire).. 😄

I've gotten to the point where I dont put up with much anymore so I'm sure I'm getting to the point where people consider me rude.. Now, I dont play the "I'm the most important person" type rude.. I play the I dont sugar coat anything anymore game. I just done put with with idiots anymore lol.

We've only done the Escape.. Loved it.. Small, you really got to know the people that were there.. We were looking at another ship and probably would have still gotten it, but was afraid it would be too big, and therefore kinda lose the whole idea behind the vibe..

There are also I guess you'd call them "double loungers" / "cabana beds" without the cabanas on the Escape that are 1st come 1st served.. They are up against a wall and think they still have the umbrella

Our escape cruise isnt til feb 1, 2025 and I purchased ours Feb 4, 2024... If you wait til 120 days before, they very well may be sold out at that point if a smaller vibe like I think the escape has.

The mini fridge we used on the Escape kept stuff perfectly cold. /shrug

Or hear me out. Maybe just pour me a glass of cold out of the fridge. But thanks for letting me know ice makes stuff cooler.

We didnt have to worry about the vibe on one of our sea days as it was closed due to high winds (one of the risks you take). The other sea day was fine.. Embarkation day was probably the 'busiest' it ever was and saying it was busy isn't really fair as I dont think more than 1/2 the loungers were ever taken any day I was up there. Now I wasnt there 100% of the time of course. Normally had server come along before I was ready for another so got my order in, but even when I was a little quicker on finishing my previous, never had to wait for a drink more than a minute or two.. Basically for them to finish the order before mine. edit: oh this was Escape (one of the smaller vibes) Dec 2023, and we had 2 bartenders.

I know the escape had pitchers of cold white and choco milk in the buffet.. Probably cost them as much in milk as I did in booze :D. Glad you didnt mind the hot milk, but was not what I was expecting nor looking for lol..

I'm an early riser and would be there in the 5 am hour most mornings.. I love my chocolate milk.. dont judge.. Apparently at that time in the AM they must think people want it hot or warm.. I was surprised when I had to ask for COLD choc milk.. Their solution? Ice cubes... lol.. I know it has nothing to do with answering the OP's question but wanted to share lol..

Probably depends on how strict the port people feel like being that day, and maybe to an extent how hungry they are... 😄

How dare you toy with my emotions like that! I don't know if I can trust @schmoopie17 ever again..

No, larger shower with this awesome sprays.. different toilet config / where it sits just much more comfortable. edit: this was the escape I'm talking about

I'm being 100% serious.. During my day to day I admit, I should wash my hands more than I do, but man, once I go somewhere, ie: hotel, vacations, anywhere like that, I don't have fingerprints left from washing so much lol. I've watched people do the little dance to avoid the washy washy people, they walk right by the sinks at the buffet.. I've seen many people say "well they have their own sanitizer" or "they just washed their hands" etc etc.. Maybe so, but how did you make it there without any touching of any other high contact surface.. just let them squirt your hands again so then we know..

They aren't but if they didnt list them, people would ask if they had a fridge or TV in the room.. Why they dont say "other room amenities" or something.. ask NCL...

It's called people that have more important things to do on a cruise this.. They ain't got time to wash their hands..
