on every deck on both the port and starboard side next to every elevator bank there is an touchscreen system. use it to make reservations

according to this document: https://creative.rccl.com/Sales/Royal/Deployment/2023_2024/EX_LongCarib_Deployment_Flyer_PreOpen2023-24 the explorer was scheduled to do a 5 night on November 11 and then a 9 night on November 16 it appears something is going to happen to two sailings like a possible itinerary charge thus royal pulled it from thier website or there is a charter group somewhere

yes that mean you stay onboard the ship. the ship will cruise as close to land as possible so that you can see it from the outside decks area

Try a different web browser and it might work. I lost count the number of times for both the cruise line and airlines, some functions work better in different browsers. i always have to switch browsers to do do what i need to do

the prices will go up with and without this being on the planner my royal up bids for my cruises this years is about anywhere from 5-20+ dollars higher then my previous bids last year

I still have the letter i received from 2010 about this. wow i feel old:

Anthem docked at Nassau at around noon today

Bahamas is not as popular as it used to be other. They are other destinations like the Eastern/Western Caribbean that is more popular and that is where the ships go

MarineTraffic website shows the Anthem doing about 19 knots sailing to Nassau with a 12 noon eta to port. This is a average speed

I use Google voice for wifi calling. I can not call over wifi , I always get a connection error or unable to make call. I can send and receive text messages in Google voice

Don't worry about price drop for port taxes. If there is any , you are automatically given the difference as onboard credit when onboard the ship

At Tampa when boarding the paradise, they had dogs in the terminal. They had a line and you had to walk past the dog

Or it can be that NCL is not allowed to to share information about this due to privacy. They are lots of privacy protection laws and regulations. Most likely NCL does know something

This does not apply to cruise ship passengers. Bermuda removed all covid requirements for cruise ship passengers

all of my venezia cruises this year and next year went up in prices i checked a few dates and i cant find anything for 100-240ish

the only thing i hate the breakaway and its sister ships is: the smokey casino effects the whole decks 7 and 8 area. it can make it hard to enjoy the events they do in the nightclub area due to this the crowded atrium they used for game shows and other events. it might be possible to watch the show up top from o'sheehan's but the biggest issue is the bar noise makes it impossible to hear anything

i see it happen a few times when my regular credit card provider will flag NCL transactions. i have to log into the credit card website and then there is message that pop up where i have to check that yes that is a real charge and yes it is me using the card. once that is done i was able to re-submit my credit card details and the charge went thru successfully. check if you credit card website for any recent transactions that might be flagged

check in has nothing to do with guarantee cabins you can do the online checkin now and just put birth certificate. then when you get the new passport, you can edit the online checkin with the passport info

on the email confirmation invoices it is listed under add ons on the ncl website when you view your reservation it is under vacation add ons

In October when i was on the Joy that went Portland i did this tour: https://realportlandtour.com/home . amazing tour that goes to multiple lighthouses in the portland area

New Jersey Cape Liberty is exclusive for Royal Caribbean and Celebrity cruises. other cruise lines do not use that port They are lots of news articles saying the Meraviglia will be sailing out of Brooklyn: https://www.amny.com/news/msc-cruises-will-run-year-round-out-of-brooklyn-generating-102-million-in-annual-revenue-adams-says/ https://www.cruisehive.com/msc-cruises-to-homeport-in-new-york-city-year-round/67303 https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegleybloom/2022/12/29/why-this-cruise-line-is-betting-big-on-new-york-city/?sh=464635ed71d4 the Meraviglia will be sailing every Sunday just like the Norwegian Joy that docks in Manhattan cruise terminal. For these big ships there can usually only dock one ship at 88 as 90 is mostly used for the smaller mid size ships. the only alternative port for the Meraviglia will be the Brooklyn cruise terminal The NYC cruise port website does not list the Meraviglia or all of other ships that dock in Brooklyn terminal for some odd reason

To me it looks like the captain is taking the ship for a test drive to make sure everything is in 10000% fully working order. Very similar to what your mechanic does when they finish repairing your car now they confirmed everything is 10000% working order they can return to port to supply the ship with provisions for the transatlantic crossing

carnival website has this information: To help you plan, we suggest you limit your luggage to a maximum of one bag per person, if traveling on cruises of 3-5 days duration, and no more than two bags per person, for cruises of 6 days or longer. https://www.carnival.com/help#collapseOne-0-3

i noticed for me soft sided luggage is lighter and the bag can be squished making it easier to fit in tight spaces. hard sided luggage is a bit heaver and bulky

when i did the behind the scenes tour on carnival back in day i got a plate of cookies, picture with the captain and a backpack of goodies like a hat, lanyard and other things carnival is the only that provides this form what i noticed. Norwegian, Royal give you nothing for doing the tour
