Aft-facing Balcony vs midship-balcony
cruisinmeme replied to MrsTocko's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
If you are talking about the aft balconies that face the water we did it once . It was called a suite (forget which ship) the balcony was good size and cabin was small. Yes a long walk every time you left the room. do not count on trying for an upgrade because those cabins sell like hot cakes. I believe there were the 4 cabins on deck 9-10 & 11. Our little group took 3 of the cabins on deck 9. The view was nice and no soot. -
another laundry question - never did it before on cruise
cruisinmeme replied to drpclarke's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
made you kidding me the tag may come off.lol. I can be home a year or more and those suckers are still hanging on tightly. I do take a picture of my stack before I send it. Never ever list anything and the fold better than I do at home. -

Coffee Mate in Le Bistro - c'mon man...
cruisinmeme replied to wurm914's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I have been bringing them on forever. I leave them setting by the coffee pot . I have even brought them to the dining room. Never been an issue. If you empty all 24 in a cup you still wouldn’t have much of a beverage. -

cruisinmeme replied to wurm914's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Forever i have brought my own. It is up to 3.28 at walmart for 24 little cups. No refrigeration needed. Release the stress of what they have or do not have. I also do this for land trips also. -
Do you have an NCL PVP? Are they good?
cruisinmeme replied to Elkins45's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I have the same PCC for many many years. She is the best. It is almost like we have become besties. She replies almost immediately. There are certainly good ones out there and mine is better than good. -
When I gave one to my granddaughter I just called my NCL hookup lady. She did it over the phone immediately. She used it as her deposit.

Starbucks gift cards/app on Norwegian Cruise line
cruisinmeme replied to bareade1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I used it many times recently on Breakaway. I put my gift card I had on my app. I always keep a good balance with gift cards. My balance didn’t update until I got off the ship. I didn’t have Wi-Fi . I am sure if I had run out of available credit it would of declined. It I knew I had loaded plenty of $$ . -
Deck 8 hame my favorite deck. Besides being confident to many things, when going towards the aft you have the option of walking on outside or inside. My daughter had two of the club balcony with HUGE balconies. They did pick two as close to the start of these cabins as possible. Never complained about sea sickness. apples with the peeling helps with that. Also ginger capsules (dirt cheap at walmart)i use the Dramamine that doesn’t knock you out. I have also found chewy ginger candy .

Sounds crazy but in 27 cruises i have never sent food away and ask for replacement. Just ate a little and called it a day. Other than the cheap tasting flounder i didnt notice a big difference. Did cut out some old favorites like the lamb in Italian restaurant and replacing it.
-
I had the flounder onBreakaway march 2020 (last sailing for Breakaway…then covid) it was awesome. So in January 2023 (Breakaway)was so looking forward to it. Well this time it was a thin layer of cardboard . Nothing like it was before. Sorta afraid to try it again.

Also a little tip i learned to save minutes is if sending an email i type the message THEN log in to send it. Also since my husband does not mess with any internet time i went and had his minutes transferred to my account.

I don’t worry where they go I just do a screene shot of the bar code that gets us on the ship. Really all you need. Sometimes I print that page only so I can put my phone away (with the screene shot)

Sorry to hear you nearly froze to death. I could handle adding bedding. We had a cruise on carnival that we could not stay in our cabin it was so hot. We raised hell at one point and the repairman brought security. So for 7 days we were miserable. Nothing done. It was hard getting dressed for the evening meal and hot and sticky and sweating the whole time. we never got a sorry or anything like that for a week from hell. We had a cabin on carnival that flooded. Another story. I believe we got a 50.00 credit and moved us. Keep in mir i had picked my location and paid for that upgrade only to be given a random cabin. if we ever had an issue with NCL it was addressed in a very fair way. Just hope i am not jinxing myself.

Booking specialty dining at 125 days
cruisinmeme replied to Rcsting's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
So did your app change to 125 days or was you just able to do it. Regardless glad it worked out for you. Now the countdown starts. -
Booking specialty dining at 125 days
cruisinmeme replied to Rcsting's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I am sapphire and mine is doing the same. When it gets closer to time I plan to call the phone number on there. I don’t see how you can still book if it says too early to book. If you click on that there is a phone number to call. -
Does the Breakaway have coffee makers in their cabins?
cruisinmeme replied to PaperSniper4's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Was on breakaway a few months ago and ask for coffee maker. I actually found the coffee provided ok. Lots of complaints about the dining room coffee. I always had my one cup in a in so didnt try the DR coffee. All the cabin stewards were busy when we first boarded (luggage ) but i was able to catch mine and ask him to bring coffee pot and remove the stuff from refrigerator. -
recently off escape with family of 5
cruisinmeme replied to periatza34's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It was a learning curve for sure. Everyone pretty well books their dinning 120 days before the cruise. Need to be spot on to get the times you want. If you have any changes you take care of that immediately after boarding the ship. I may be wrong but not sure any specialty restaurants take walk ups. -
Yes you can bring someone with you. I was in a cabin by myself on last two cruises and did that.

Pre covid we found the coffee set up on waterfront. Our cabin was on deck 8 (breakaway)n so very confident. Was on Breakaway in January and did not see it. My daughter couldn’t drink the dining room coffee. I made my one cup in the cabin and was plenty satisfied with it.

We never receive any specials.i book what i want and every day i check the rates (no matter how far out it is) if rate goes down i notify and get the reduction. Only plus to waiting to book would be to buy some cruise next to use for the next booking. I always book far in advance to get my location. Recently last minute i went with daughter and granddaughter. My location was all booked up and prices had gone up.
