    The Daily’s are always dated for the day after the evening delivery. They describe the activities and open times of the day and “today” always means the day after delivery.

    Answer is “yes.”

    A two-minute call to a PCC will confirm if it’s unavailable.

    As you will be on a Caribbean cruise, during the day a substantial portion of all passengers will be on deck or in port. You will have no problem finding a quiet, or even a deserted, bar in which to sit and read.

    The Jewel Haven pool is a swim-against-the-current lap pool. It is one of the only places in the fleet to get a real swim.

    Bartenders will pour soda into a small, disposable plastic cup.

    I made a crossing, first class, on the United States in 1961.

    My Club Balcony on the Star’s transatlantic next summer has dropped well over $2,000 in the last month or so.

    Sailed on the Viva around the Med six weeks ago, ending in Lisbon. Had a great time.
  10. FLAHAM
    That’s my understanding.

    My PCC told me NCL had eliminated the expiration dates. I just used a certificate previously to expire in June 2024 as a deposit for the Aqua’s March 2025 transatlantic.

    No such ship. The only NCL ship sailing TA in 3/2025 is the Epic. Plenty of Studio cabins available.

    I go to CN immediately after embarkation lunch in MDR and have had minimal wait or none at all.

    CruiseNext is not non refundable. You get it back if you don’t spend it on board. It has been like this since the beginning. I have never spent it on board and I have always received a full refund.
  15. FLAHAM
    It has always been that you got the value back if you didn’t spend it on board.

    Peter Luger got an awful review in the Times a couple of years ago and has since lost its Michelin star.

    Viva had the navigation channel a month ago.

    Hudson’s is the way to go on embarkation day. Plenty of room—no need to hurry.

    Fleet wide, NCL only provides cabin service once per day. I find I don’t miss turn down service greatly. Three people for two days for $1,000 additional? That’s not a bad deal.

    Prima is an outstanding ship.

    Prime hurricane season. Not cold enough in most of U.S. to tempt many to take Caribbean vacation.

    Note: cash only, no reservations. They made George Bush wait for an hour.

    The “major city” of Dayton, Ohio (pop. 135,000) has a steakhouse (The Pine Club) that is tons better than the Ruth’s Chris and Capital Grille chains.

    Bring a Kindle loaded with at least two books. Attend the daily beginner bridge (cards) lesson. Eat breakfast and lunch in the MDRs (takes more time than the buffet). Take the ship’s tour ($$). Hang around the bars and meet new people. Surely you had a purpose in signing up for a TA.
  25. FLAHAM
    Le Bistro.
