Cruisercl

Kathi, Prayers and virtual hugs for you. 🙏🙏🌺

Oh my gosh, the whole mask thing is intertesting on how they are doing it. Thanks for doing this; I have enjoyed your reports. Good to see they have more things to do on board than the NS cruise last Fall. Continued safe sailing and negative testing. 😎

Bon Voyage Rich! Hope your cruise is amazing. I will be following along. Take care and have fun.😊 Safe travels......

A very Happy and Blessed New Year to all here! Also, a huge thank you to everyone who contributes to the wonder and greatness of this thread; especially to the consistent daily contributors. I always enjoy and learn something from the posts. I am a grateful person. 😊 Safe travels ....

Hi Rich, What ship are you on? Did I miss it in the posts here? Not a HAL follower all of the time so don't know this. Have a great time! Appreciate your indulging my lack of kmowledge. 😊 Caron

We loved Priscilla on the Epic, pre-pandemic. We saw it twice, very good talent, IMO. Sad to see it go.

IMO, NCL does have the best entertainment department in comparison to the other cruise lines I have sailed on; this includes Princess, Celebrity, RCCL and HAL. I did sail on a Disney cruise; the production shows were good Disney quality but the adult bar entertainment was weak. The options on NCL entertainment are better quality and more is available to enjoy. The bar entertainments, atrium entertainments and bigger production shows are great with good variety and strong talent, you can certainly tell the difference. I have sailed on the smaller, the medium and the large NCL ships; the entertainment was always good quality. There are different types of entertainment day and evening, lots of choices. Something for everyone. I just recently sailed on the Prima and the Bliss. Hope this helps! Safe sailing!!

Good point but not communicated to the passengers. Is what you state here is what actually happened? Did NCL let you know this? Did you ask them? Not stressing, just stating facts. I did not ask NCL about it.

Nope, this does not make sense and is not reasonable. Just because you express an opinion does not make it true. Happens all of the time here on CC, people spreading false information. Please educate yourself.

We were on the Prima transatlantic (Sept 2022) and did not go to the Orkney islands due to weather, so did not go to the port. We were not refunded the port fees. Is this legal, we were not even told why we did not get a refund? Seems like a money grab. Other NCL cruises I have been on, when we missed a port, we were refunded the port fees.

It was available on the NS Coastal cruise that disembarked in FLL, Oct 8th. Best thing. Does anyone know if it means it is available for all HAL cruises disembarking in FLL? Should we assume it is? Just wondering....thx! 😊

We loved Hudson's! 😊

Prima TA.

Agree. We thought the food was meh to not good. We ordered a variety of dishes, 5 people, and no one thought it was really good. Not much flavor. YMMV.

Just got off HAL NS coastal cruise; disembarked in NYC. Luggage Direct worked like a charm, no issues. Cost was $25, well worth the cost, IMO. 😊

Yesterday was a city trolley ride. Learned alot, the ride was beautiful and included historic places in the city. The weather was beautiful so it was a good walk around day. My TV hasn't worked for 2 days either. They know but haven't seen repairs done yet. Lots of fog when sailing at night. The fog horns have been sounding the last few nights.🙃 Today we must each see immigration before getting permission to go ashore or even if not going ashore.

Yesterday's day at sea was low key again. Spent some time donating to the casino and reading on my balcony. The weather was pleasant enough to read outside and the ship was moving very slowly. Watched line dance lessons on the pool deck, at lunch time. People were very fun to watch. They were quite good.😊 Eating too much....IMHO. 😋

Took the PEI lighthouse and cellar tour with some new friends from the CC roll call. All wonderfully fun and nice people. 🙂 The tour was ok, I liked the lighthouses the best. PEI is more agricultural than I knew, potatoes are their major crop. Who knew? Charlottetown is a beautiful town. Next time hope to spend more time there. Sailaway was lovely, as always.

A sea day, so it was pretty low key for me. Tried the Grand Cafe for the first time, very good option for AM coffee. It was wonderful to meet fellow CC peeps at the M&G. Thank you to Edi for organizing the meet and for putting together the ice breaker. 😀

Saguenay is a beautiful little town. I did not do an excursion so took a walk about. The greeters and entertainment at the port were very good and fun to watch. Visited the beautiful church, lit a candle and said a prayer. Also visited a couple of shops and bought a few souvenirs. I like to buy chocolate at places I visit to check out the differences. The town was quiet and it looked like some things weren't open because of the holiday. I liked walking about to see the town in general and see how the people live. Rest of the day was usual ship stuff, pretty uneventful and relaxing. 😊

Day 2, in Quebec City I took a ship tour of the city. It toured the UNESCO historical sites of the city. It was very good. Lots of historical military history monuments, buildings and cannons. Also a stop at the Hotel Frontanek (sp). Quite lovely, have not seen it before. The rest of the day was pretty uneventful but did more exploring on this beautiful BHB.

Update to my error....it was a HAL transfer bus at the airport, not NCL. Confusion after a long day, need some wine. Lol.

Hi everyone, I am finally getting to posting here. I arrived in Quebec City last evening at 7pm after a long travel day from MN. I flew Air Canada which I thought was just meh. On the ship by 8pm. My taxi ride was great. Walked right on the ship as there were no other passengers in the terminal at that time, easiest cruise boarding ever!! There was a NCL transfer bus at the airport which looked full. I believe most of them were on my plane. Arrived at the port ahead of the bus, thank goodness. My cabin is great, I have a nice starboard side verandah, deck 8. Room steward so nice when I arrived that late. Went out to explore the ship some, had one glass of wine and it made me pretty tired so I called it a night. Went back to my cabin and the TV wasn't working. Got that fixed this morning. That was my first day. The ship is beautiful! More on my second day later. Take care all! 🙂

Not really rationale IMHO, but this is your opinion....😉

Because a solo cruiser paid twice as much, per person, than you did. A dinner is a small thing to give to a person who is usually paying much, much more (I have only paid 200% when going solo) than you. And not all of us, most actually, get solo cabins, even an inside room costs double. Does that help? 🙂
