Sunnyway

I'm bringing instant espresso powder and a frother. I'll pick up milk in the buffet and store in the room fridge.

Does anyone have the price list for services in the NCL Mandara spas? What sort of discounts are there for making bookings on embarkation day and for services on days in port?

What if you are not logged on to the ship's internet wi-fi? My companion and I are going to share an internet account so only one phone can be logged on at a time. Would we still be able to exchange texts (iMessages) on our iPhones?

Meclizine is the generic name for Bonine and a fraction of the cost. If not on the pharmacy shelf, ask for it at the counter. I won't travel without it. I'm very prone to motion sickness so I start taking it before my flight and daily throughout the cruise. Despite rough seas on the Pacific, Atlantic, and Tasman Sea, the only time I've gotten seasick was in the Panama Canal! That was due to watching the shoreline go by, not due to rough water.

Seeing this and other complaints about NCL on Cruise Critic and YouTube, I'm anticipating that my April 15 cruise on NCL will be a one-off. I'm prepared to be disappointed with many things.

Me, too. I start taking meclizine before getting on the ship and take it throughout the cruise. Despite rough weather on several cruises, the only time I got motion sickness was while transiting the Panama Canal. My malaise was not caused by waves, but rather by the shoreline. Meclizine/Bonine does not cause drowsiness.
