drumming cruisers

When I was a kid, we meet grandparents. (who lived in Wenatchee) and camp at Lake Wenatchee. pretty rugged back then, no bathrooms. Was a great adventure for us kids.

Been waiting! really love your reviews

Thank you!

I guess I missed something, what's the difference between cruise first and cruise next? Thank you

Thinking of booking this cruise. if you have been on it, a few questions. I am understanding airport is about an hour away from port. What transportation did you use? What hotel did you stay in? and does it have a restaurant? Is there a shuttle from hotels to port? Thank you.

@justhappy Loving your review. Is ship full? we were on Encore in June, and it had 4900 cruisers. plus crew.

Just off the Bliss yesterday. Buffett is only open until 9:30 PM. Local is open late night. Limited menu, fish and chips, chili bowl, Rueben sandwich, hot dog, cobb salad, chicken wings, raspberry swirl cheesecake brownie, apple pie with ice cream, carrot cake. Maybe a couple other items. Your keycard will have a letter on it. Ours was A. went to where A station was scanned card and that was it.

If you don't receive the cards in your stateroom, go to casino players club on board and they will give you your drink card and players card.

Haven't seen or been notified if refunds will be given for excursions booked through NCL. Thanks for any info.

Will be on Bliss in a couple of weeks. We are in Haven, have heard there is no entertainment in Observation Lounge. Correct? Is there entertainment in other Observation Lounge and if so, is it bands, piano? And what times? Also heard no ice-cream machines in Observation Lounges. BOO! Thanks for any info.

I had same issue this morning. Cleared my browsing history and they printed fine this afternoon.

I know at least 8 people that have gotten it last couple of weeks. Not only on NCL.

Hi! Love your reviews. You going to do one for your latest cruise to AK?

Have only cruised to AK in June always cool and no rain, always very nice. Can anyone tell me what to expect in August? Am assuming warmer, but also rainy? Anyone know who concierge is in Haven? Thanks

@BirdTravels I have been ruby for years. I used to get comped balconies, then dropped to Oceanview, now just a percentage off cruise. So, if Comps aren't based on your play level, what are they based on? In November on Bliss casino host wouldn't waive my cash advance fees. I think because I won a BIG jackpot. Said they would give me another $500 OBC,, but had to hurry to shops, because they were closing in 15 minutes (was last night of cruise) I hadn't even spent the OBC they gave me the 1st day of cruise. On Encore in June, they weren't going to waive them either, finally after half an hour of talking, she waived some of them.

@amygutmanWe always stay at the waterfront Marriott. Ivars is good. we usually eat at the Hook and Plow restaurant in Marriott, if we don't want fish. Everywhere is pretty expensive. Breakfast at Hook and Plow Dinner at Hook and Plow Lasagna and Chicken Marsala

@Sthrngary Are there special breakfast room order forms for Haven to hang on door the night before? I have never seen any in the cabin.

Hurricane season between now and then

Also, the Haven on both ships have the Horizon Observation lounge.

Havens on those ships are exactly the same. Same food, same layouts. What makes the difference is the concierge, butler and room steward. Just off Encore 2 weeks ago and Bowen was very organized and great concierge. Naveen was our butler, and he was great too. Will be going on Bliss in August, not sure who concierge is, but like the itinerary. For port excursions go to NCL Cruises. in left hand corner click on Explore, then click on shore excursions for Alaska and then the port you are interested in exploring. Everyone enjoys different things and has a different budget, but. we like whale watching, Mendenhall Glacier in Juneau. in Skagway the train, or Scenic bus tour to Alaska sign etc. Ketchikan, we like walking around town and creek Street. Sitka we like the Best of Sitka tour, and icy Strait Point we like either whale watching or riding the gondola to the top of the mountain.

And when you get to your cabin you have to watch it again on your tv, before you can change the channel. 🤣😁

@room with a view I don't cancel cruises; I call and have NCL change it.

@Maplemoose You can see your bids here. Or click on your messages on your NCL account. https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/NCL/

I just looked at "My NCL" account and there are a lot of excursions available for that sailing. Maybe a glitch in system when you looked at your My NCL account. Need to recheck.

Norwegian Joy Deck 10 Deck Plans (cruisedeckplans.com) Doesn't look angled to me. or in the deck plan.
