when do you cruise?

May 20

Ddoes anyone have the MDR menus from a current sailing on the Equinox?

Just applied again.  Make sure you have all the required information.

Thanks everyone!  Probably head to the pool and the buffet.  We tend to get on early and the crowds aren't t o bad!

Does anyone have the menu for the Concierge Luncheon on boarding day?  I know they may very by ship but any ideas would be great.  We usually head for the pool and buffet but thought about trying something different this time.

The shareholder benefit used to be combinable. (I started sailing with Azamara in 2008). Then they decided it was not combinable.  Within the last year it changed again and IS combinable.

 

 Many of us bought the stock when it was below 25 dollars a share and we've had a great return on our investment. On our first Azamara cruise, we got $250 OBC on a $2,500 investment. And we did that on multiple cruises.  Then the stock went through the roof.

 

Buying the stock now sounds like a bad idea if your only objective is to get a $250 OBC.

We too purchased at $19!  Can't get rid of it now, not that I would want to!

Thanks for the update.

Does anyone know if they will honor this on top of other promotions?

Wow!  Thanks everyone for the great information.  We booked with Woodwind😎  Still deciding on the rest!  It would seem to many great options!

Thanks to all for the great recommendations!  Can't wait to get there!

You should check out the ports of call boards.

 

I will mention that Bonaire has great drift snorkeling. We have used Woodwind twice and have been very pleased.

Thanks...Looking at woodwind as many have said the same!

Hi everyone!  Looking for suggestions on our first trip to the ABC's.  We love to snorkel, shop and be beach bums!  Is any island better than the other for certain activities?

Thanks!

Thanks Jim!  Wish it wasn't so!

There used to be a program to visit a sister ship while in port. We will be in Costa Maya on the Equinox and would like to tour the Symphony of the Seas while she is there.   Does anyone know if this is still allowed?

Yes it does, you may not get every drink (martinis, champagne) as on board, but the selection is pretty good.

For the soda package, they provide coke products most bars at this stop pour the drinks out of litre bottles, but if you buy an individual soda, they will give you a can (those without package).

Enjoy

Does anyone know if this applies to Celebrity as well?

I just sailed out of Tampa on the Dawn two weeks ago and there was someone outside the terminal building selling bottled water by the case. I'm sorry I can't tell you the cost as I didn't notice, but they were definitely there.

Thanks so much. I thought that was the case. Just nice to have it confirmed.:)

Does anyone know if there is a place by the cruise port in Tampa to purchase bottled water before boarding? I thought I read about somebody selling at the pier to help fund their cause.

Would this be the same for an airport area hotel, or only the airport?

We normally stay out by the airport (North side) and taxi is about $25 without tip.

This is what I used: NorwegianConciergeDesk@ncl.com

Thanks, I will give that a try!

We are sailing in March and I have been looking for the e-mail address for the pre-concierge, Any help would be appreciated!

From NCL website:

If there is a service issue can the service charges be adjusted on board?

Guest satisfaction is the highest priority at Norwegian Cruise Line. We have structured a guest satisfaction program designed to handle any concerns about service or on-board product quickly and efficiently. However, in the event a service issue should arise during your cruise please let our on-board guest services desk staff know right away, so that we can address these in a timely manner. It is our goal to reach a satisfactory solution to any issue when it happens and make sure our guests can focus on enjoying their cruise. Should your concerns not be met with satisfaction you can adjust the charges.

Thanks for the great review. We can't wait to head out in March.:D

Thanks for all of the great information! Sounds like by March all should be 'Ship Shape'!

thanks,any more info out there??:eek:

We have been on the Golden Eagle twice with Celebrity and loved it both times. The crews are great and safety conscious. Your snorkeling will depend on the weather and the beach may be clothing optional! We would do this again and again! Have fun!

Thanks for the video and the memories of our trip!
