Happy_Traveler_2008

I booked my 14 day cruise through online travel agency and received a total of $1,100 in OBC and pre-paid gratuities through the 123 Go promotion. This is what led me to booking the cruise.

Thank you do much for sharing! We are cruising on 3/16! This is perfect! :D

I hope these are the right menus or else I would have wasted my time in translating them.

Did NCL indicate that those would definitely be your menus for your particular cruise? When are you sailing?

She did tell me that there's no guarantee that these items will be served. I will be able to confirm when I board the ship on March 16th.

Here are the menus from the Breakaway

I am traveling with a large group on the Breakaway next month. I contacted the ship to see if I can get the daily schedules so I can have them translated for my group since many don't speak/read English. I'm sharing them here for anyone who is interested.

Thanks. Very helpful.

After you log into MyNCL, click on the Vacation Summary Tab.

 

The following page will display. On the left side of the page under Reservation At-a-Glance, the fourth item down reads: Onboard Spending: $---

 

I found my travel agent's OBC amount by doing a print preview of Vacation Summary.

Thanks all for tips.

 

Gem tips for me:

- the spa pass was more than worth it- gorgeous space

- the gym was not crowded when I went, which was great

- the food was varied enough and had great melon salads

- the suites are amaizng, and having a concierge/butler really makes the whole week better- if we cruise again i will do it this way for sure.

- if you have a VIP in your group, they will most likely treat the whole group as VIPS. my parents had a huge suite and we had smaller connecting rooms that would not have gotten us that treatment but they were amazing to all of us

- second city show was very funny

- food in bistro was nothing to write home about, service very slow

- loved the tepanyaki - a nice change

- tex/mex restaurant: food was amazing.

- I found that there were fewer kids than i thought which was nice -even having a 2yo i didn't want to be surrounded

- I found it to be very polite, all the guests, I had no negative interactions

- service was amazing throughout

- kids club was good to have- used it twice

- for us it was worth teh horseshoe beach excursion

- snuba a total waste of money

- I am not sure our boat was at full capacity. If it was I am amazed at how easy the whole thing was -even on sea days

 

After having gone, I am glad I brought the following things:

- a flashlight to check in on daughter in her room at night

- coffee travel mugs because those coffee cups were way too small and hard to carry around without dripping

- personal blender for my shake, when I didn't feel like going to eat out

- delicates hanger, to hang suits from every day on teh balcony- dried way faster than in the bathroom

- power strip

- wine

 

 

I didn't need the following:

- anythign to hodl open doors- they had door stops and some doors had strong magnets to hold them open

- suite had a wine opener

-

 

things i wish I had known:

how EASY it was to bring extra bags. I overdid it on trying to get into two bags and then they don't care, truly- how much you take on. I wish I brought snacks/almonds, baby's favorite foods.

Thanks for all the good tips.
