Okay, so he should probably put his shirt back on before walking into the dining room.

I would just say stay away from NCL. They have gone so cheap now.

 

No bringing soda or water on board at any time (more ways to extract $$$ from you). No lobster night, escargot was two served on a cracker, no shrimp cocktails..... sigh. Cutting costs by serving the cheapest food.

 

No pillow chocolates. No drawer in the nightstand (silly, but helpful) and another obvious cost cutting thing. And the shows were also "cheap" ... production show was worse than high school.

 

Go to RCCL or Princess.... and nothing to add to the above posts. Go in the early spring.

Per the board above, you seem to have a very personal vendetta against NCL. Have you ever been on an NCL cruise? Are you getting this from personal experience or just pushing other cruise lines?

Please use these boards for constructive criticism, not bashing.

Just go to the New Urban Farms web site, click on bar mixes and find the munchie-crunchie mix.

I am not worthy, you have all out shined me. Thanks for all the great tips, keep them coming.

This is exactly why we primarily cruise with Royal Caribbean or one of the Deluxe brands! Cruising has become "cheap", and I don't mean it just in a dollar amount. When we first started cruising you were made to feel special! People dressed up for dinner! People acted like they had some sense while on a cruise! Nowadays, it's quite different. There are a bunch of foolish people on a cruise. When anyone can cruise..."Anyone" cruises!!! Is it too much to ask everyone attending the dining room to dress up "1" freaking night??? Oh well, you get the point! Freestyle is not for me!

And regardless of which "k" you use to denote "thousand", just remember that that GT figure is not the "displacement" (or weight) of the ship, just a unitless measure of internal volume, that has no direct correlation to its actual enclosed volume. I would be surprised if Bliss' displacement was over 70,000 tons.

 

Comparing airplane motion to ship motion is silly. Air turbulence does not travel in waves like the sea does, and most airplane motion is vibration or bouncing. Yes, midships will reduce the pitching motion, but the rolling will be the same. Aft cabins on ships with azipods may experience the "azipod shimmy", a side to side horizontal motion (not a rolling, more of a yaw), but this is dependent on course, speed, sea direction, sea period, wind, etc. It is caused by the azipods tracking back and forth to keep heading, causing "sweeping" of the water flow into/out of the propellers across the flat hull above the pods.
