I just booked the inaugural! Can't wait to join the Roll Call! 

I missed it!! :(

Here is the link to my review of my cruise to Cuba on the Sky June 4-8: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2644446

Is there a limit to the drinks you can have per day? There weren't for us. However, they reserve the right not to serve you if you seem intoxicated.

- What type (brands) of liquor are included? This was answered above.

- What type (brands) of wine are included? I avoided the wine (I am an admitted wine snob). However, the champagne in the Plantation Lounge was awesome.

- Are sodas and bottled water included? Soda yes, bottled water no. I took a yeti and filled it myself.

- What about coffees? There is regular and decaf included. It was fine. I didn't even look at specialty coffees.

Thanks Jenny!

I forget that when I say "coffee" I mean espresso. I'm a Miamian so Cuban coffee is vital! LOL

Check this out..

Thanks!! I have been all over their website and had not come across this yet!

No limit on the number of drinks but the bartenders will cut off those who are totally wasted.

 

The DSC is higher than on other NCL cruises. $19.99 for most, $22.99 for suites.

 

Bottled water is not included. Soda from the gun is included.

 

Regular coffee is included but "specialty" coffee is not. If you are creative, order a regular coffee and a shot then combine them yourself.;)

Beautiful! :) Thanks for your reply!

Hi everyone! I'm a frequent cruiser but this will be my first time on NCL!

I have been looking for posts re: the open bar on the 3 day sailings from Miami on the Sky but I'm not finding anything recent.

Can any of you provide a little info as to how this works...

- Is there a limit to the drinks you can have per day?

- What type (brands) of liquor are included?

- What type (brands) of wine are included?

- Are sodas and bottled water included?

- What about coffees?

Any info is appreciated! Thanks so much! :D

I've never tried but just driving there it seems it would be complicated to walk to.

What island(s) so you think you need this for?

I was thinking about HMC. Not that we need it... Really I was just more curious than anything. ;p

Yes, according to Carnival's site, you can.

Right? I don't see umbrellas on the prohibited list.

Hi all! :)

Has anyone had any experience bringing a beach umbrella on the ship (for use ONLY ashore)?? I was wondering if port security or the ship's staff would have an issue with it?

Again, obviously we would only be using it off the ship... I'm not trying to use it on the lido deck LOL

Thanks!

It's called Decleor Paris Circulagel. It's actually for improving circulation in the legs and it's very expensive, but just a tiny bit of it will suck the heat right out of a sunburn. We've been using it for years and are very miserly with it (someone's gotta have a bonafide burn to get to use it, none of this "just a little pink" stuff :')).

Awesome! I see what you mean about a bonafide burn--it's not as cheap as aloe gel lol... Thank you!! :)

Fortunately, we have a “miracle” gel that really takes sunburn pain away, so it was all good.

Well, I just have to know... What is this miracle gel you speak of!? ;)

Hi Sid! I have just gone through the 40 pages and I have felt like I was right there with you.

In fact, I may be in need of a Zantac after just *looking* at all that tequila! LOL... Thanks for sharing your journey with us!

December is right around the corner! ;)

They're both gone! :)

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

Hi all! I have more pins than I can handle... I would love to send these pins to happy homes. I have TWO Carnival Splendor VIFP Club pins from my December 2017 new year's sailing.

Email me at brattymissmonica @ aol . com and I will be happy to mail you them. :)

Happy Friday!

Thank you all!! I think we will stick to Chops for the anniversary dinner and then perhaps try Chef's Table and/or Giovanni's another night. We like to eat. lol

You've all been helpful! :)

Hi all! Help me decide! We are on the Jewel in March and wanted to do a nice (delicious) dinner for our anniversary. I currently have reservations made for Chops Grille but I've seen both good and bad about it.

Would you opt for Chops or Giovanni's?

Just some background -- we've never done either restaurant and are huge fans of the Carnival Steakhouses. A great steak is what we are mostly after. :D

Thanks!

Can you call them and have them check this for you? I've never done it and have no experience with this... but just a suggestion?

Yes, yes, YES!!!!! NYE onboard is the greatest!!! We did it lasy tear and are booked again for this December!!

Thank you all!!

No and No!

Nooooo! Good for the shows, bad for the burger cravings. Argh. Thanks!!

Hi everyone! I don't have too much experience sailing on RC...my most recent sailing was on the Oasis.

I'm now booked on the Jewel for next March and I see that it is quite different from the Oasis. I'm sure I will have plenty of questions in the months to come but for now... Two questions are on my mind:

1. Do we need to make show (we do comedy shows mostly) reservations online before sailing as we did for the Oasis?

2. Simple [& important one] -- Is there a Johnny Rockets onboard? ;p

Thanks everyone!

I'm booked on the 5/5/17 sailing and it shows the regular 4:00pm sailing time. I think it's back to normal. :)

Moomba Beach was a lot of fun. We enjoyed it!

So... I know you're not done with this review yet BUTTTTTTT... ;););)

Will you be reviewing the Aventura Dance Cruise? I would love to know what that is like! (To then decide if it is something I should con my hubs into doing! lol)
