I don't believe they have a Haven lounge in each terminal, isn't it just one for Haven guests?

That's the smallest portion of ribs and sides that I have ever seen in a BBQ joint.  I'm not a huge eater but I'd need more than that.

Which city in Canada?

Wow, talk about veering off topic.  

It's been off topic since it was posted on the NCL forum.

We (4 adults) are cruising on the Escape next month and love the idea of quieter places to relax and read. I've looked at the deck plans and cannot seem to locate an area called the Waterfront. Where is it? 

Deck 8.

If you Google "NCL Escape Waterfront" you will see many photos and videos.

If the ship was already going to that port country....why wouldn't everyone have a passport anyway?  You would need it to board the ship in the first place, wouldn't you?

Some places have different documentation requirements if you are flying in as opposed to being on a cruise ship.

Here is everything you need to know:

I wouldn't need any luck. You'd be shut down immediately. Having an aft balcony doesn't make it somehow more acceptable. Seriously, what is wrong with you? 

What is so unacceptable about it?  How would it affect you?

At the buffet.   Don't get too excited about the pizza though, it's edible but nothing to write home about.

My advice, renew your passport when the time comes...

Agree.  Passports aren't very expensive to renew and it guarantees that you won't have any problems in case of an emergency where you may have to fly from a distant port to home.

The internet is per room.

 

The shire excursion is also per person, so it could be worth $400 in your example. Yes, you have to take the excursion to get the credit.

Is Frodo the tour guide, Keith?  🙂

Since the thread pretty much got triple hijacked, I'll hijack some more.  Illinois just became one of the states that made recreational use legal effective Jan 1st.   I have about zero knowledge of the use or the different ingredients so my curiosity got me to doing some research.

I've never smoked anything and don't want to but then I found out they have chocolate stuff, gummy bear stuff, baked goods, etc.  

Bottom line:   This 59 year-old is gonna have some fun.   LOLZ.

You're welcome KJ.   Let us know how it turns out so we can share with others.

I would go ahead and call the Transfers Desk to try and cancel your reservation.  They allow you up to 4 days before sailing to reserve so perhaps it is the same for cancellations.

You can do as you want but be  aware of the consequences that come from it.  Many years ago (25+) ships were way easier for drugs... in fact on the last night there was always a note to flush what you could not bring into the US. I can't imagine the amount of different and quantity of stuff that must have been flushed that last night!

That must be why I noticed way back in the day that the dolphins seemed to be smiling a lot.  🙂

The people in the balcony cabin just below me a few months ago seemed to have no problem getting it on board and using it.

Many people are willing to take a risk.   I remember reading a post a while back about people who got caught with it in Bermuda, missed the ship and were fined a boatload of money in fines.  (excuse the pun)   😉

OK, but for the Alaska cruise from Seattle, you depart from Seattle then cruise to Alaska (USA), then do a quick stop in Victoria (Canada) and then you finish in Seattle... so it doesn't seem to apply for Alaska cruises for some reasons.

Regardless of the rule definition, NCL is not taking passengers for the one night repo.

there's a thread here in this forum that talks "everything encore".

It gets updated with pics and other info every couple of days.

There will be no passengers onboard.

That is the DSC, the OP asked about gratuities.

Again, semantics.   Most people consider the DSC to be tips, they just use different terms.    DSC replaced the old envelope tipping system so.............

Nope. It's the Independence, the Oasis, the Symphony, the Anthem, the Encantment, the Allure and the Rhapsody.

I don't think so.  I'm pretty sure the Seven Seas reference is to all the oceans.  It's an old saying.
