Last time we sailed and stayed on board for one of the stops, it was close to 3pm before the pool bars opened. I'd rather not pay for expensive drinks in Key West and take advantage of open lounge chairs that day!

 

Thanks everyone!

Sailed the Sky 6 times 2018 and the pool bar opened 9 am every a.m.  There is a bar on deck 12 above the pool that usually opens around 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Pool bar was called Breakers and the bar on deck 12 Champs. Just checked back on a Nov27 th daily and shows Champs open 2pm to 6pm. FWIW

The pool bar opens at 9 am but the great outdoors bar aft opens at 7am.

The Sky doesn't show any sailing after Nov 2019.  Anyone know why.

ev98, Capt Cooks one of the neatest on the ship.  Going to miss the old Sky.

Been on the Jade 4 times and have no idea if mini golf available. Sorry.

Agree,

Don’t care what people wear as long as it is clean.

“Men’s feet are ugly and yellow” it is called nail fungus which is a very common affliction for both men and women, women however cover it up with nail polish.

 

I usually have much better things to do than stare at peoples feet.

 

Were did anyone read "Men's feet are ugly and yellow"?

Old men's toes are sometimes yellow and very ugly.  MDR or any public place, please no.

Give it to the bartender (who will lose his job if caught not collecting it) or give it to the City of Miami. Either way it is about $1 per drink.

My quote was about an extra pour, nothing to do with port taxes.  Go back and read some earlier posts.  Stormy

Robin, 9138 is a very good location.   Stormy

Depends on the BT, most will some won't.  A little extra tip almost always works.

Last Sept on the Pearl, outside temps mostly in the mid 50's but inside was same as Carribean  in the summer.

Bartenders all Jamaican and MDR waiter's all Korean named Kim.  Sunward II 1977.

When we last went, 2 years ago I do believe that soda was NOT included. I remember someone suggesting asking for a rum and coke and to ask for them to hold the rum. I totally confused the bar tender but I ended up getting a fountain coke, exactly what i wanted.

 

Its good to know I can just ask for a fountain coke now.

Pepsi, Pepsi no Coke.

Think a discount on photos and shore ex's and what u named.  That's all.  Stormy

On the Sky last week and they have gone back to the menu of 8 yrs ago.  Very nice.

It's funny you ask, I had plans to order a few Vodka Redbulls (hold the Vodka).!

 

Think u will have to pay for the Redbull.

Recently did it both ways several times.  Really makes no difference.   Stormy

I’m sailing on jade in January. Are there updated slot machines ? How is the entertainment? Does it have a piano bar ? Do the bars seem crowded since most of the drinkers have a free drink package ? 

The piano bar is an open room near the champagne bar. Very comfortable and a small dance floor.  Not really a so called piano bar.  But think you will like it.  We did the 4 day Jade last Jan and will be on Jan. 2019.

Ask at the dining reception desk, sometimes they will do this for you.

More than 100 cruise's and never remember a bad chair.

On most of our NCL cruise it's been C & D with parking in garage C.

spiced rums included Capt morgan and Barcardi Oakheart which I thought was very good.

The Sky 18 times and 2 more booked.

Yes to the sushi, in the Plantation Lounge.  Have heard it is excellent although an extra charge.

But with the percs on NCL  UBP, UDP. etc the price point is very competitive.  Maybe even lower than the other main stream cruise line, except for the west coast.  Stormy
