general rule of thumb...if school's out theres gonna be a lot of kids

um...dunno...its 24 hours since the last one...but already looking fr the next one

we left on Caribbean princess and there was a liquor store in the terminal that was after both bag check and check in...so yes we bought a couple bottles and took them on...nobody inspects bags after that point so I cant imagine who would have taken them if they were inside the carry ons.

book

we usually dont take much but what we do take with us goes in a camera bag...you can take a DL...no need for the larger passport

at least they are still going to the Caribbean...they have abanodoned Mex all together...which is really easy for us since we are right here

still can't get over how odd NCL Epic looks

69...but we leave for that vacation 7 days before that:D

Now that beats all manner of blackwater piping, lagged hot water pipes, mooring lines coiled on bright green spools

freezer lockers, grunge disposal rooms, crew-only companionways

- and everything else ever shown on this somewhat mundane thread!

 

agreed;)

my wife uses a clutch when on board and just puts the couple things she needs on shore in a camera bag

many of the posts you see complaining about RC food are those from people who have taken many many cruises with RC...if you take multiple with them per year then yes things will start to taste bland and get boring. We cruised on Radiance in April...it was our first RC cruise in about a year and a half and the food was as good as I have remembered

colors in this shot are amazing!!!!!

where was that pic of Sapphire taken from?

age aside...yes there are rude pax on just about every ship...but I think the typical old vs. young thing makes you notice the other group even more

Really great shot!!!!

generally speaking the times when the ships have the most cruises are the times when school is out. Also...b/c of the cost the longer cruises tend to also have less children

many people have limited schedules so summer becomes popular...yes it may be hot and humid but if its when you can go then just go and have fun...

just for clarification...its not a king...much closer to a queen

a couple of the larger/nicer ones that we have seen were on X Equinox and Liberty of the Seas

wow!!!

we have always found better deals into FLL. Even by the time you pay for a ride to POM it still works out better most of the time

cash has always been easier

we did the one in Cabo. Its more deserty than many of the others and there are quite a few climbing and rapelling sections but it was a lot of fun. One of the drawbacks is that its 45 minutes or more from the port so can take all day if the port time is short

I usually try to get to the port around noon. Plenty of time to get on, go to lunch, look around and relax before muster and sailaway

in my pocket while on the ship and in the camera bag while on shore
