What time can you get on the ship?

Thanks for the reply snow1.  But he is actually the one I did check out, but he is booked.

Any other recommendations anyone?

We'll be on Hawaii the first week of October, and are looking for a private tour to Volcano National park.  Any suggestions?  There are 5 of us.  We have a car rented but not sure we want to do that on our own.

Can we store our luggage on the Norwegian POA after we get off, and if so is there a charge?

Is there a charge for this?

We'll be on the POA in October.  Looking forward to your review. Thanks.

Thanks for the review.  We are going this fall.  We have never gone on Norwegian before so I may have more questions.  But for now, can you tell me what the dining room menus are like, compared to the Carnival Pride, which I see you were on and is our favorite ship.  We have specialty dining 3 nights, and a luau booked for one night, so I'm trying to decide what nights to go.  Thanks.

We are also going on POA next fall, and are new to NCL.  Can anyone give me any tips about doing excursions on your own if we rent a car?  Also, any other tips would be great, as to the specialty dining restaurants, buffet, diner.

Thanks.

Just off the Glory. We had a forward cabin on deck 7, right below the bridge. There was a bench on the outside of the cabins, but if you wanted to see anything, you had to stand. A great place to watch when coming in to ports.

We just were there on May 2nd. We paid $49 per person without lunch. It was a very nice beach, beautiful pool, nice place for lunch, friendly and helpful staff. We bought our lunch and it was very good. We could see the buffet, and it looked very nice, but I'm glad we didn't get it. Looked like mostly salads. I think there might have been something with rice and some seafood, but not sure. My husband would not have been happy with it. but it all looked fresh. the loungers were free, and we asked about an umbrella. they said they were free. So we asked for one, and they brought this thing that was like a tent that went over two loungers. Very nice. The pool had umbrellas around it. A real nice place.

The only problem we had was with the transportation back. The buses kept getting filled up, and when we got to the last one, there weren't any seats left. The driver said we would have to wait on another bus, but I was worried. So I got on the bus until he called someone. Then he asked if there was anyone on there that was from the other cruise ship, and there were. So he made them get off so we could het on. Not the beach club's doing. It was the excursion's driver's that weren't doing their jobs. My son got on the bus we were told to go back on, and he said there were a bunch of empty seats.

We'll be getting on when you get off. What was the last platinum gift you got? This will be our first gift!

Anyone been there recently?

If you want potato chips, call room service. Just tell them it's for two. you don't get a lot. Pretzels, too.

Anyone know if this is on the Glory yet? We go in 3 weeks.

We turn platinum on our Glory cruise the end of April. Anyone know what the current gift is?

We walked to Jack's once, not too bad, but the walk back was hard for us, as it was very hot by then and we were tired. The next two times we did the taxi!

We are thinking of booking it too for the March 3rd Freedom cruise.

We're looking to book this for our cruise the end of April. If you did this excursion, we'd like to know how it was, and if you got the lunch. Thanks.

We've sailed on the ride quite a few times. We love it. I really like the Serenity deck. I go out early and get a clam shell so I have shade for the day. It's a very easy ship to learn and get around. We've always had excellent service from wait staff and stewards. My only complaint is the smoke in the casino. Very easy to get on and off the ship.

Thank you. This is really helpful. Just what I was looking for.

Thanks for the info. We will probably have to do a tour.

How was Grand Turk, and what did you do there?

We'll be in San Juan for the day on the Carnival Glory in early May. I need some info about going to the beach for the day. What are your suggestions? We'll have 1 person who can't walk a long distance. thanks.

Stopping in Puerto Rico on the Carnival Glory in April. Are there good beaches close to the port in San Juan? Any suggestions?

We will be on the Carnival glory at the end of April, stopping in San Juan. Are there beaches near the port? if not, What is your suggestion for a beach day?

Just off the Pride today. Ken was there this week.
