Teends

Great question, curious as well

I saw somewhere that the muster drill will be at the usual 3:30-4:00-ish time slot

If it's any consolation, Miami at night is beautiful.

Yeah, I am coming to grips with it. I'll get to check out the daytime port surroundings while we're parked as it is. And like you, everybody is talking about how great the city looks at night so I'm sure I'll be ok with it.

It depends on when you're cruise is. For the 5/7 departure, the sun doesn't set until 7:55 pm so it still be very bright at that point and should be that way for the rest of the summer.

We're on the Nov 19th cruise meaning that it will be fully dark when we push off. :(

What's wrong with seeing Miami skyline at night? We were delayed on Epic last year and didn't leave until night.

 

It was a good experience.

There might be nothing wrong with seeing the Miami skyline at night. But for those of us that love to leave in the daylight, it obviously sucks. That's where I'm at.

I even get up in the wee hours of the morning when returning to port of Miami at the end of a cruise because I like seeing the lights. It's lovely at night. But alas, sunset is 8:02 that evening, so while still lovely, it won't yet be completely dark.

Jeez, just seeing your comments about the last day of a cruise made me sick to my stomach. I wish I could cruise 6 times a year, that would help my "last day of the cruise" blues...

Cool. I hope it's dark when we leave.

Night falls around 8:15-8:30 in Florida at that time of May. It's definitely NOT gonna be dark when you leave. I like to see all the Miami mansions and beach goers when we leave from there so curious as to why you hope it's dark.

My guess would be to give more time time fuel and load the ship. When we went a few weeks ago they had tractor trailers still pulling in at 3:15pm to unload. I think the fuel barge pulled away around 3pm. In the end it doesn't really matter, you'll still get to your first destination on time

This sucks pretty bad for anyone wanting to see the Miami sights on the way out to sea for anyone traveling around the same time we are in mid November. It will be DARK when we leave. This totally sucks.

I have the remixes downloaded from iTunes. I was surprised to find them there, but someone had mentioned that "Let's Go" was available for download. Playing them and thinking about my next cruise is cheaper than therapy.

What an awesome idea! Youtube videos are my therapy!

I'm not a fan of them either, for whatever that's worth.

That's why I asked, looking for opinions. Just wondering what everyone thought about those ads.

It was stated earlier that someone was ready to see the current ad campaign of "Let's Go" come to an end.

Does anyone else agree with this? I happen to really love those ads. It really gets me in a good mood when I see/hear those ads.

As I've said many times to my wife, I knew I was getting old when I realized that the time I now go to bed, is the time that I used to start thinking about getting ready to go out for the evening.

 

Well, that and having to get up in the middle of the night, every night, to use the washroom.

 

And, I guess, when it hit me that my head was now having a race to see which would happen first - going completely grey or losing my hair.

 

And don't get me started on when we go out to restaurants or stores in the mall, and I want to (but never do) speak to management to ask them to turn the music down.

 

And when I started referring to teenagers as a whole, as "big bunches of hoodlums".

 

Oh, and let's not forget the conversation I had last month, where - without thinking about it - I referred to "The Google", as in "We should look that up on the Google."

 

And yes, I'm 42, just about to turn 43, with an 11 year old daughter (heaven help her...)

Classis stuff. I'm 45 and Addie's Daddy...

Wow such anger on both sides. Gee whiz everyone calm down.

For the record every Godmother Godfather NCL has announced I am not crazy about :eek:

 

Pitbull a nice guy and has some talent. But I agree without sampling aka stealing music no one would have heard of him.

He was there at the Getaway party and was in the NCL Getaway commercial. They are giving it a Miami stamp.

 

 

Now this has been announced, I can finally come forward that I wanted to be Godfather of Escape but NCL turned me down :( David_sobe would have been so cool and so Miami :)

And post of the day goes to...David Sobe!!! :)

I wasn't thrilled with Disney's choice of Mariah Carey when the Fantasy debuted but I still sailed the ship and enjoyed it. ((I don't care for her music, can't stand her voice, at the time she didn't have the best reputation in her personal life, and didn't even have any hit songs to make her relative to that specific time. She was in no way relative to the company, the theme of the ship, nothing. Zip. Zero. Nadda. But whatever. Their ship. Their choice.))

Excellent points Sweetpee

Say goodbye to "Let's Go" and say hello to Pit Bull singing in the new ads to debut during Super Bowl 50.

I happen to love those "Let's Go" ads. You don't?

Does anyone know if there's a combo excursion from Falmouth of Dunn's River Falls and Dolphin encounter that is not affiliated with Carnival? I'm trying to save a little money and I've heard that doing independent excursions is a way to do that.

Anyone know of a good tour operator in Falmouth to see Dunn's River Falls and dolphin encounters? Don't really wanna pay Carnival's rates if I don't have to.

LOL My Dad is a diehard Maple Leafs fan, always and forever...he'll likely never see THEM raise the Cup

Blasphemy! The Leafs will be good before you know it! 13 Cups so far and counting. Not many professional teams with that many titles...

What is "mini bowling"?

 

Are you talking about 10-pin candlestick-style pins, balls with no finger holes?

 

Up here in Nova Scotia, we call that "bowling" lol

 

We used to have a couple of lanes at one of the local alleys that had the finger-holes-in-ball bowling, it was definitely harder than it looked!

 

Our alleys even have bumper pads you can add to the gutters for kiddie bowling, so the ball never goes in the gutter :)

Nova Scotia, eh? Who's gonna drink from Lord Stanley's Cup next week, our Lightning or the Blackhawks?

We played at O'Sheehan's on Epic but the bowling balls were regular sized. Must be different on Getaway.

The Getaway had them. Not sure about Escape but I hope so!

Where were they on Getaway?

Does anyone know for sure if Escape has bowling alleys like Epic or no? From what I have seen SO FAR, it doesn't look like they do. Does Breakaway or Getaway have them?

My wife and I had an amazing cruise last year in The Haven on Norwegian Getaway. It was the best cruise we've had in 28 cruises over four different cruise lines.

 

I am delighted to say that we'll be in The Haven again next year... for a cruise on the brand new Norwegian Escape.

 

I put together a little video, that explains why I'm so excited about being in The Haven on Norwegian Escape.

 

If you have a few minutes to daydream about an amazing cruise, sit back and enjoy the video...

 

Really loved this video!!! I saw it on Youtube before I saw this thread actually. Kudos!!!

...does anyone know if Oasis will get the slides installed on said drydock? Disappointed Allure did not get them even though I didn't think they would...

Going thru Customs 5/16 from a cruise on the Oasis, I accidently left my camera bag on the desk at Station 20 and when I went back about 5 minutes later, it was gone! Our pictures and a Nikkon D7100 with multiple lenses went home with someone who knew he/she was stealing a camera. Customs does NOT use cameras to monitor anything. RCCL uses facial recognition software to match you with photos taken on board. How can people be that heartless to steal your memories.

Was there a lost and Found nearby?

Since they didn't add them to Allure during dry dock, you would think that Oasis would be after Harmony.

Makes sense to me. I would assume Oasis is going into drydock again before Allure would at this point.
