    Steam Room and Sauna on the Pearl

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Well I was (very) concerned about these amenities. Were they free? Was I going to have to pay $10 a day to use these facilites that we got free on the Magica and the Valor?

     

    Short answer: Steam Room and Sauna on the Pearl are apparently FREE according to the rep at NCL I just spoke with.

     

    So I am one happy camper!!!

     

    24 hours of fish and chips in the Blue Lagoon and Steam Room, Shower and Sauna FREE!

     

    me = happy!!!!

     

    Never trust someone who has never been on the ship -- the sauna is inside the Spa and part of the facilities you gain access to for the daily or cruise long fee. :eek: :(

    Best cabins on Deck 11 of Jewel?

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    We're booked in 11012 & 11014 adjoining AB/AF that are under the library but right by the elevators...has anyone been in the cabins up by the front elevators and was there any noise problem from them?

     

    Also, looking at the floorplan and the ship pictures I think these are the 1st cabins on the front of the ship that do not have the closed in balcony - we really want the open balcony...

     

    I'm still not sure why they didn't put any AB's on the back/aft of the ship or front with larger balconys - the placement of these great cabins in the mid front of the ship is not up to par with the actual cabins...

     

    All the ABs and AFs have open balconies. The closed area you see is ship's officers housing.

     

    They put them on the side because they are all about the inside space. What a waste of valuable aft space for a bathroom window. This way they can sell aft and forward penthouses and still have a very desirable penthouse that is not aft or forward facing. :)

    Thanks Shoreguy.

    But as we spend so little time in the cabin we do not care fantastic cruise and fantastic staff I can not fault it in any way.

     

    Thanks for your helpful comments:)

     

    The biggest risk in my mind is the neighbors:D

     

    Nothing worse then the all night fighting couple

     

    I had the "hacker" sat out all night on the adjoining balcony coughing up a lung :eek:

     

    The party hardy crew with the boom box :rolleyes:

     

    I have had them all but never took a cruise I did not like. Have a great cruise.

    I do not want to be contradictory to Shoreguy who is so knowledgeable but the aft cabins were available for the 20 and 27 med on the Jewel well at least two on deck 11 because with the extension of mama to the outside and lunch and breakfast ther noise does exist.

     

    We were advised NOT to move to it last week but stay forward and juding form what here on board made the right decision!!

     

    I'm confused if you are taking about the aft port facing AF/AGs I understand the Mama issue since like 11630 - 11639 are under the overhang.

     

    If you look at the deck plans the facing cabins are perhaps 60 feet from the back of Mama's. As posted they are under the Great Outdoors and breakfast and lunch is served from the buffet that is not above the cabins.

     

    No bands, no parties at night, no kitchen crew cleaning and or cooking overhead. One other point if you can hear people talking above over the sound of the wake I need to borrow your ears :D :)

     

    I spoke with 3 couples who were in those cabins on the transatlantic. I was in an AE aft. No complaints of any noise. All those that have posted here in the last year had no issues with noise.

     

    If you passed on one of a few special cabins because of potential noise in my view a mistake. Somebody will enjoy that cabin. No matter what cabin your are in I am sure you will have a great time in the Med.

    Garden Villa price?

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Here's a question I always wondered. Will NCL negotiate on the Garden Villa price? In other words, if at a month out the Garden Villa is still available is it possible to offer them and get it for $20,000 instead of $30,000?

     

    Sure - The Garden villas on my cruise Sunday have been booked for over 6 months. The next cruise on the 23rd still has one open and the current special pricing is 7902 cruise fare for the first two passengers and 395 for 3+. Normal noncom and taxes apply.

     

    So in this case you could pick it up for 16K all in for 2 plus about 700 per each additional passenger.

    Leeward? Where is she

    Sailed on the Leeward in 1996, wonderful small ship! Sailed on the bow suite, with a picture of George and Barbara Bush. Whatever happened to this ship?

     

    SILJA OPERA Collision

    November 13: SILJA OPERA (ex SALLY ALBATROSS, LEEWARD, SUPERSTAR TAURUS) collided with a Yermak icebreaker stationed at the exit of St. Petersburg port yesterday. SILJA OPERA's lifeboats were damaged, as was the icebreaker's lifeboat deck. There were no casualties reported. SILJA OPERA continued her journey to Helsinki. (She collided with several ships and a crane at the same port on September 19, 2003).
