I would have loved to have gone to Grand Turk on Independence, instead of CocoCay. It has been a while since we went to Grand Turk, we were on Carnival.

And Independence is also cancelling for September.

Another cancellation

We are retired and live in South Florida. We try to cruise at least once a month, but will cruise more if we get deals/discounts through the casino. Many of our cruises are 4 days, so we will try to add on a 3-day to make it a week or more. We are also trying to do our bucket list travel cruises now, while we are both healthy and mobile.

Just saw on a FB page that Adventure of the Seas pulled into Labadee at midnight one night and delivered supplies. The supplies might be for the people living there?

We saw Showband last month on Icon. I enjoyed it but my husband got bored with it.

I believe Izumi is Deck 4 forward on Indy

We loved Coastal Kitchen on Icon. It is the only two-story CK in the fleet. We also loved the Suite Sun Deck and the Grove (buffet area with sandwiches and small plates, open usually in the afternoon). IMG_3255.mov

Yay a live review from Sue!! Looking forward to following along. I was hoping to use my just-released annual casino cruise for Icon for next March, but since Icon is excluded, now looking at Symphony.

Good luck and have a wonderful family cruise!!

Yes, this is true. Currently on Freedom B3B and moved this morning from balcony cabin 6634, next door to 6636. Both cabins have the bed by the balcony.

Go up to Coastal Kitchen as soon as you board and tell the host that you would like to make a dinner reservation and see what he says. That is a repositioning cruise and besides Suites, may have a lot of Pinnacles onboard. But if you check early with CK, you will probably be able to get reservations for several nights. You may have to be flexible with the time/times that you dine. Good luck!

It is not a problem. They will verbally ask you the two health questions when you check in at the port.

Found my video from last September, 6:36 PM, going until the bridge. IMG_1506.mov

September 12,2023, we went under the bridge at 6:36 PM

This is the cabin we had on the Escape and my husband still talks about it as his favorite balcony!

Was just reading the Blog and wondering if it means changes are coming to the Crown and Anchor program.

The first night filet in CK is really good!

I agree with you.

Yes, I agree, MSC Yacht Club has a similar feel to NCL Haven.

We have only stayed once in NCL Haven on the Escape, that was pre-Covid. We still talk about how much we enjoyed the lounge and restaurant. If you have stayed in a suite on Wonder, the Suite Neighborhood on Wonder has a similar feel and layout to the Haven.

On Liberty last week and yes, you can charge on the slot machine to your room and play.

We just got off and in a taxi heading home. We docked at Terminal 19 instead of 18.

Some passengers were talking and said something similar this morning. I guess I was wrong with my timing, it was after 4 not 2-3 AM. Such a tragedy.

Currently on Liberty, heading back from Puerto Plata. Woke up last night between 2-3 and thought I heard an “Alpha, Alpha, Alpha”. Learned this morning that it was an “Oscar, Oscar, Oscar”. Other passengers said that the lifeboats had been out around the ship all morning. Later the Captain announced that the Coast Guard was taking over the search. At noon the Captain announced that we would be making up time and will probably only be an hour and a half late getting back to Ft. Lauderdale, we should be docking around 7:30 AM. My thoughts go out to all affected by this sad situation.
