My broken femur was due to a car accident way back in 1972. A couple of years ago I just stood and it rebooked.   Didn’t heal properly and broke again almost exactly a year later so steel rods and titanium hip.   Hence I rent a scooter to travel around on the ship use a cane to go in the dining rooms I am travelling solo so it makes me much more independent.    Won’t see me much in the buffet (not my thing). But will be everywhere else.  I had a good response to LCR so going to try one in the brew house sept 11 4:30

looking forward to seeing Kivanc I have sailed with him 3 times

i will try an update for our activities

This sailing would be our 3rd of its kind, sailing the NE/Canada route this season ... thus far, haven't seen or read any posts and comments of happenings onboard, maybe no news is good news ... things running smoothly as a whole.  We've visited Halifax/NS twice back in the 80's and 90's via the overnight "ferry" - love that city & gone back since again as getting extended vacation time off then wasn't easy.  Norwegian Sea and RCI's Voyager of The Seas, then the largest cruise ship at over 130,000 tons carrying up to 40,000 pax ... had since taken us back to these ports some 20 years ago.  

 

Still have no idea who's up on this ship's bridge, not that it matter or who's running Haven ops (butler/concierge, etc. ... some / others do, I know)  Deepak Punia was HD then in 2019 (when we had an official outbreak of norovirus onboard - yike, we made it thru that 14 days cruise & back safely) and I believe he is onboard as the GM, not sure about the rest of his team from those days.  No idea who is the CD onboard, Alvin O. was then.  Will most likely skip the BTS tour this time around but going to sign up for Dine With Officers ... won't mind chatting with the iCafe manager is s/he is part of the team to host these to pursue one of my favorite subject area - WiFi & satellite signals on high seas and evolving tech, ask questions about the status of Starlink deployment among NCL vessels.  

 

Calling card w names & direct extensions distributed back in 2019 at the M&G then - just for reference, where are they these days ... let's find out.  I did put out a friendly request to this week's "better" organized roll call and M&G to post any details, however - watch is still "on" & results pending.   @www3traveler - I know she sometimes has the insider's intel & perhaps ... she has an update that I somehow missed on that "2023 who's where 😉  

 

Weather forecast for nearly all the ports at this point - looking fine & great, seasonally warm, mix of long & short sleeve, fleece vest/jacket for layering, windbreaker/hoodie or light jacket should suffice - hats, gloves & scarf not needed yet.  

 

Not sure if others onboard this sailing are planning to post and do live reviews, add their comments & observations, etc. - welcome to add here, impossible to cover it all ... i.e. alcohol & drink packages as we do not.   Please do not feel that one is barging in and/or should be posting their own.  Constructive & helpful and useful additions and viewpoints are always appreciated ... agree to disagree, friendly differences of opinions are recognized here, and opinions on food are always highly subjective & personal in nature, our own "biases" shall be expected.  

 

 

 

Please find out where Kivanc Ucar

the food and beverage director is now    He was a sweetie.  I wonder does he have children now as he told us they wanted.   Is there a way to check what ship he may be on now?

I too will be staying on the ship at the tender ports.  And will be sitting in the wheelchair assisted area.   It’s hard to say whether I will go off at some of the other ports as I am using a scooter for the trip.  I look forward to meeting others like your in laws to pass the time.   I have the game LCR with me and will be attending the meet and greets.   You meet great people on a ship

lol I know and that's why I rethought my first response and posted again in post number 14.

to get a table for 11 go to the dining room earlier in the day and make a reservation for 11 at a certain time. they will do that. we travelled in a group of 10 and each day someone reserved our table.. but I think you have to do each day you want it

On our cruise we would usually have early dinner then just before the main dining room closed we would go back and order a Sunday to go. They were real tasty and you could go relax in a corner and enjoy
