For our first cruise we did a spa club balcony, with vibe pass, did the upgrade for the unllimited inet / extra dining / p+ beverage package. We also planned on spending 99.9% of the time on the ship. Out of all of those things probably the only thing I would do again, is the vibe.. I did really enjoy that when available (of course that's the chance you take) Not saying others would not enjoy the other stuff, but for us, I went to the spa 1 time, it was nice, but just dont think we'd ever use it. Wife never stepped foot into it. As far as the prem plus beverage. Again, others may find that a great value, and I had planned on "experiencing" some "higher end" spirits.. Nope, I found out that I just really, really like my long island iced teas.. They make me happy lol.. The specialty dining, we actually left with one credit unused. Was super disappointed in teppenyaki and also moderno. Cagneys though.. LOVED it. At teppenyaki, somehow the food was just bland.. we watched them put like butter and soy sauce and other stuff on the chicken and steak.. But when it came time.. 😞 Moderno, all the meats just seemed dried out and just not good. Salad bar was nice though. The filet and the special Brazilian meat was good. So on our next cruise, we are focusing on more minimal and just taking advantage of what is included with the FAS and complimentary dining. Except the unlimited internet, I will get that as I like to post way too much stuff lol. Why did I make this post? No clue, just wanted to share how we really enjoyed our first cruise, but dont need all that "stuff" to enjoy it.. What are your thoughts on "going cheap"?

Did the Escape miss GSC again today
D_And_K_gocruising replied to wolft927's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Only going by the information given out lol.. 🙂 Bummer me out because I was looking forward to an empty ship haha. Good news is that going that slow the vibe was open and WONDERFUL to have as the day before they never opened while cruising.. Think our speed plus maybe a headwind = like 40-50 knt winds.. Top 2 decks were closed off. -
Did the Escape miss GSC again today
D_And_K_gocruising replied to wolft927's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Yes, GSC was cancelled. We pulled in, guess they brought a tender boat out, but were looking at the weather and supposedly the seas were supposed to deteriorate thruout the day.. No clue if that happened or not, but person in a FB group said they've missed GSC last 3 cruises they were on.. Very common. They were saying the island manager makes the call. There were also supposed to be TWO ships there that day, and neither stopped. They weren't as concerned about getting people off the ship, but were concerned about getting them back onboard at the end of the day. It didnt "seem" bad, but who knows what currents were doing, what they saw they didnt like. It really doesnt matter, the call was made, and we puttered back to PC about 10 knts. As expected there were some people that threw a fit about their cruise being ruined and how dare they cancel the port the weather was fine blah blah blah.. So from what I can tell, do NOT get your heart set and base your whole cruise around GSC.. -

Just to get you excited, view from our room right now.. deck 15 as we booked a spa club before those “went away” -
On the escape right now and had biscuits and gravy at buffet. Is that what people think biscuits are supposed to taste like? Man I’ve never had biscuits that tasted that….. sour in my life. Maybe I’ve only ever had “fake” ones but if this is what real ones are supposed to taste like. Blech, guess more for everyone else..

We board Saturday!! Started heading south from Ohio this am… -
I thought so, but reason I was asking is I've never gotten any emails reminding me to watch it.. again.. and again.. and again.. I've heard about people getting spammed about it.

This is the video you had to watch during check in? Or is there some other?
