Thanks for sharing your meal with me :-). I did eventually get Ocean Blue in as well and it lives up to the hype - I am a fish and seafood lover and I could eat there every day. By the way was the hat store on Royal? I had to fight the urge to spend $600 on a hat in that store I went into. Enjoying your live reports. Enjoy the final day of the cruise!

On the breakaway I couldn't get any coffee drinks from the atrium. They sent me up to the o'sheehans bar and that bartender made me go grab my copy from osheehans itself to make the cocktail. The only decent place for a coffee drink was the casino bar.

Ha. Just realized that might be a way to hear the show without being in the crowded Cavern Club.

Would love to know more. Solo'ing on Breakaway on 12/18

Pre COVID they were not. We just did Mexican Riviera on the Bliss and they were closed when in port.

I didn't have an option to pick the cabin and all I could do was guaranteed. We decided not to do the upgrade out of fear of being in a bad location. We later called about a spa club balcony and got a great price a s just took it.

We are scheduled for a cruise leaving Sunday. My son now has a cough and no fever and is testing negative for COVID. But we don't know how this is going to develop. If we have the standard insurance and we cancel we are wondering what we're going to be entitled to because this is our third attempt at this cruise since COVID started and we have a combination of cruise next certificates which expire at the end of this year I believe and then we have FCC's which also expire. Does the insurance cover those and reimburse you for those or do you just get the FCCs and cruise next back and you have to use it by the time they expire?

You can ask for your daughter as a reasonable accommodation based on disability. If you frame as an accommodation request they may allow it if you can show disability related reason (would regular pool deck mean sensory overload so to enjoy the cruise as a non disabled person would, would a quieter space be beneficial?)

Oops - someone just started basically this same thread. sorry for the duplicate as I can't seem to delete. I've done the thermal suites before and love them and I have never done Vibe. If you only have budget to do one or the other, which would you do and why? I

Not sure where I saw it posted. But someone a cpl weeks ago mentioned their Bliss cruise was the 1st one with Coke.

Very nice! Enjoy, sound delightful. Out of curiosity did it show you in the lead leading up to it? Wondering if anyone gets the upgrade even if it says they've been outbid - like maybe the highest bidder gets an even better upgrade or something like that. I just withdrew haven bids after calling and getting a very good price to go from balcony to spa club balcony and decided to grab it while still available. Don't want to give up the spa passes now so keeping what we have. But good to know for future.

Has anyone been to the aquarium in Mazatlan since cruises have resumed post COVID. We went about a decade ago by taxi and enjoyed the experience a lot. Was not geared to American tourists. A lot of locals and their families. Felt more authentic to us than a lot of the excursions. But wondering if it is open normal hours, if there are any COVID restrictions in place and if is safe these days given the travel warnings. Appreciate any recent experience notes.

Bump And I did do a search. Didn't find much. Hence my asking. Appreciate responses.

So apparently that is a yes and no. We had fcc from cruise cancelled by ncl because of COVID. The 25pct they added to our credit can only be used for cruise fare or upgrades. I believe fcc for money you actually spent is more flexible.

If you booked a guaranteed club balcony suite can you tell me what room you ultimately got and if you were happy with it. We currently have a balcony on our 11/6 cruise we chose. We have fpps we have to use by year end that can only be used towards upgrade or fare. And we are thinking if upgrading since we have ~$300 in fpp left and can't do another cruise this year. And at this point we can only do a guaranteed cabin with this upgrade and can't pick our room. My fear is ending up on 9 the floor above the cavern. If you did end up there how bad was it? A couple reviews make me think it will be pretty bad. And we have a kid with us. Then again there is a small chance of a really nice upgrade.
