NCL cruised out of Baltimore about 10 years ago.  Not sure if another cruise line was also sailing at that time.  Their new cruises started 09/2023.

Before then the parking situation was Carnival on one side of the terminal and Royal on the other.  That’s how it was on our last cruise in March.  
 

When we asked about NCL, no one was sure how it would work.  Guess we will find out next month.

Does Royal still have the GOING, GOING, GONE sales?  Haven’t cruised since 2019 and need a cruise now. 😎

Thanks to all.

If at all possible, could you please post bar menus with the new sustainable and other drinks from the Metropolitan and Belvidere Bars would be greatly appreciated.  Have seen all of the various food menus but zero bar menus so far.   Link to food menus.

I bought it for our last cruise and didn’t get a copy thag I can recall. 
 

i did find a document on it because I read it over before purchasing and also there was a point I thought we would cancel. 
 

Any price info for 7-night cruise @ $2000.00

Think they want more updated answers from the initial info.

December 5 sailing was 1,800 / 85% capacity. 

We thought dining room at 7pm was way too crowded.

I noticed on my Thanksgiving cruise, there was a $0.00 "Drinks On Us" Line item on my invoice in the Hub App, that may be a way to confirm Drinks on Us without having to wait for the Casino boss.

Thanks for the info.

On our December cruise, drinks are from day one.  Best to check with casino host near cashier~~they have a list with qualified names.

Getting a drink on that cruise took a lot of patience.  Finally, we went to casino bar.  They did take our order but didn't look too happy.

Very very disappointed in Carnival bringing back smoking in casino again. Did not see any drop in casino attendance with no smoking rules. It was so refreshing to be able to breathe while playing and not to have your clothes stink. Also had access to all slot machines. May need to find a no smoking casino line.

Sailed NCL Bliss right before Covid and they have a totally enclosed area for smokers.  Very nice not to smell like smoke.

Regular junior suite:

What a great review.  Thanks for all the details and photos.  Couldn't believe how much we missed and still had a great time.  Can't wait to sail Legend again based on your info. 

Happy Sailings!

Caribbean Colada from the Red Frog Rum Bar. It is supposed to have coconut, banana, and pineapple, but I could not taste the banana and can only assume the bartender made a regular pina colada instead.

 

 

Carnival has moved on from the paper straws and is now using the Sorbos edible straws. Sadly, these are better in concept that in execution. While they hold their shape, they develop a slightly sticky or slimy outer texture and are NOT a flavor or texture you actually want to consume. The closest thing I can compare it to is chewing on dense cardboard. If you want a better straw, I recommend bringing your own. 

The straws are definitely slimy and disgusting.

And in just a matter of minutes, the weather has changed and the clouds have opened up on us. Decks 10 and 11, as well as 9 Forward, are now closed off due to high winds. 

 

 

The forward pool is now empty, but the mid-ship domed pool still has several swimmers. I think it is time to head down to the Follies Theatre for Game of Thrones Trivia at 1:45. 

 

 

Sure was a lot of trivia.  Our trivia days are over.  They really need some better daytime activities.

In terms of "how full is the ship?," it isn't sold out, but I would guess we are somewhere around 75-80% this week. At 1:00 PM on the first sea day, the hot tubs are full, nearly every table in the Lido buffet is occupied, and I count 19 people in the pool under the dome.  

 

MarineTraffic shows the ship just south of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and the air temperature is 71 degrees. If the sun would come out from behind the clouds, it would be a truly beautiful day at sea! 

We were also on this cruise and were told 80% full.  This made me a bit anxious.  In September, it was only 60% on the Pride~much better.  But, had a wonderful time.

Not likely if it would impact casino revenue. As I suspect it would.

Maryland has 5 casinos and all are non-smoking and revenues are higher than ever.

Do I upload my vax card when I fill out this form or just bring it to check in for them to look at?

When we sailed in September, you had to show the original before security and maybe again at check in.

There was no place to upload.  Just questions.

Ah Dang nabit!!  In my haste to want to believe it was true, I misread this yesterday.  I can now clearly see and admit that it does indeed address specifically those cruisers who have booked a suite and are also diamond or platinum.   Grumble, grumble, grumble...must not partake in at home Cheers package before reading important things.

Been there, done that.  Happy Thanksgiving.

One letter was to VIFP PLATINUM AND DIAMOND SUITE GUESTS (we are sailing the Pride).

The 2nd letter was to Platinum and Diamond Guests.

So the update is no changes? Did I miss something? Same as it's being done?

 

Maybe too many complained about stuff not being in the cabins as before so they are sending out a email for those who dont read cc. I ran into someone livid with their cabin steward for not knowing where they could get their loyalty rewards. 

Sailed the Pride in September and no one knew anything.  Wasted time trying to track down what was going on.  So email is appreciated.

Thanks for the great photos and info.  Cruising Legend next month.  😁 🛳️
