Want to try Norwegian Cruise line but want to be sure the sauna/steam room is same-sex only. My idea of a great sauna is NOT wearing swimwear. It's just not the same and would not consider going on a ship that has co-ed sauna. Thank you!
The Escape is co-ed.

Not sure if you visited the main dining rooms, Savor and Taste - but - if you did, what's the difference in the two? Thank you!!
Different decor but same menus. We ate in both and thought the food was excellent. They have some entrees that were the same all week and had a few new selections each day.

We kept our original flight and didn't have any problems getting to the connection.

I hope that's not the case this time.☺️

We decided to keep our flights. The next flight is a 4 hour layover and if we miss our connection we should be able to get on that flight.
10 more days!! Looking forward to meeting some of you at the meet and greet. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and be safe.

Just for FYI...at major hubs, the baggage operations are quite efficient. Like snow removal, they know what has to be done and they're experienced.
FWIW, if flying DL, use their app to track your bags. All bags get scanned as they are loaded on your aircraft and you can be sitting in your seat and have the peace of mine of knowing it's in the hold underneath you. Or, if they do miss, you have that knowledge before you are standing around the carousel wasting time waiting. Great feature of their app - don't know if UA and AA have anything similar.
I downloaded the delta app so I can track my flight and luggage. Thanks.

Please let us know the outcome on this.
Keith
I'll let you know what we decide. I have to wait until tomorrow when I see my friend who we are traveling with.
-
Thank you everyone. I'll call Delta and see if they have anything else available. We are traveling with another couple so would need 4 seats and the "restrictions apply" states if you are delayed you might be able to change. We aren't being delayed, they changed it to a shorter layover.
Again, thank you for your help.

Hi Everyone, we are looking forward to our first cruise on the Escape on Dec 5th. We planned this trip almost a year ago. I booked my flights early because we got such a great deal (BOS to MIA for $200.11 each round trip). I usually fly direct because I hate the landing. :)
When I booked our flights I specifically booked flights so we would have at least 1.5 hour layover in JFK, but Delta has changed a couple of times and now we have only 45 minutes to change planes! For you seasoned travelers, is this enough time to change planes and will our luggage get there with us?
Luckily we are flying in the day before because I listened to your advice! I'm sure it will all work out... it's just frustrating that I tried so hard to keep everything as stress free as possible and now I'm wishing I had a direct flight!

Our cabin is situated PORT side but we are deck 15!:)
Looking forward to all the photos. Our first cruise will be on the Escape Dec 5. We will be in balcony cabin 14202. How do I know if this is Port side?

I've used this one and I order it on Amazon.Com
Keith
Thank you. I love Amazon!

My wife uses crystallized ginger. we get it at the Trader Joe's. 8oz. bag $1.80. It's good tasting and it works. Have a great cruise!!
Tony
We have a Trader Joe's in Portland, I'll check there. Thanks!

Don't think brand makes any difference at all. Supplements like ginger are not regulated by any agency that I know of, so you're taking your chances with all of them (by that I mean quality, safety, potency, etc.). I don't mean to say you shouldn't take them, I do myself in very rough conditions, but I wouldn't waste time or money searching by brand name. I also prefer the crystallized ginger (especially dark chocolate covered from Trader Joe's!) but don't know whether it's more or less effective than the capsules/tablets.
Thank you. I know it's not regulated but was looking for something without a lot of other ingredients.
-
Thank you everyone! I'm not sure if we'll need anything but want to be prepared and prefer not taking meds if possible. Ginger capsules, candy and crystalized ginger it is!!
-
Hi Everyone,
We'll be going our first cruise and want to be prepared in case of sea sickness. I want to use Ginger capsules. For those of you that have used Ginger in the past what brand do you use and where do you get them? Thank you.
46 more days!!

Do they just sell the usb with images without actual printed photos or packages?
I'm curious too... can you purchase just the USB?
-
Thanks everyone. Sorry it took so long but I couldn't find my post! :)
-
I am enjoying these pictures and videos. Can't wait to board this beautiful ship.
110 days for us. :)
We'll be sailing with you! Can't wait!

How did you find out how many ships will be at the same port as you?
I got the information from here on Cruise Critic:
-
Some islands can handle large crowds better than others. In some cases with docks, five ships might be more than the docks and handle and some of the ships might have to tender. Docking is preferable to tendering.
If you have an early excursion, and you are docked, you go to the meeting place on the dock. If you have a late excursion, you can either relax on the ship or check out the area near the port.
If you have a very early excursion, and you are tendering, they will usually have you meet on the ship, then escort you to a tender to get to shore. Otherwise you take the tender to shore then look for the meeting place for your excursion or if you are early enough, you can check out the area around the port.
Here is the Carnival Victory docked in Saint John, Canada. You can see the ramp used to debark and board the ship ...
Here are a bunch of ships tendering passengers to/from Grand Cayman ...
Here I am on a tender returning to the Sapphire Princess ...
Thanks for the examples. I still can't get over the size of the ships!

Try not to worry about it!
St. Thomas and Nassau often have more than five ships in port at the same time PLUS people who have flown in for vacations.
It's more normal than unusual. ;)
LuLu
Thanks LuLu. Not really worried just wondering, It seems like a lot of people.
Reservation cancelled!

We just cruised on Norwegian Escape for our first cruise. We planned a year in advance. My husband has to choose his vacation weeks in November for the following year. I would not have been happy to have our cruise cancelled after choosing our vacation based on a specific cruise we wanted.
