People that are around others that are immunocompromised.

If it makes people feel better, I guess, I’m not sure I have as much confidence in these tests.

Aren't you worried that only testing once a week you will miss a positive test?  Say you are exposed on a Saturday and get covid.  You test on Monday morning but it is negative, if you tested an hour later it would be positive, but you don't test until the next Monday.  You will have been walking around with covid for a whole week!

Who has the time for this nonsense, I know you are kidding, but testing for a virus with no symptoms is a bit silly, who has the time to stick up on tests and then take them and worry constantly, blah blah blah

So after much research, by my wife, and offers from Norwegian, we picked the Getaway from Port Canaveral, it’s a 10 day and the cost was similar to the encore and escape. We have been on the getaway and had a good time, after 10 days we will see. Thank you all for your input, it is much appreciated.

Thank you, for the replies. This trip is for the week of Thanksgiving, and the flights through Norwegian make these two affordable. I appreciate all of the help.

My wife, my daughter, and myself; ages 41, 52, and 17, can’t decide on the Norwegian escape or the Norwegian encore, for the Caribbean. Which would you choose and why, same itineraries and we have cruised quite a bit, have cruised Norwegian 4 times as well.

No one NEEDS a straw in their drink.

No one NEEDS a cup, just squirt it into the people’s mouths, like the water boy does in an NFL game

Maybe it’s time to give up the milkshakes then. Seriously, how many plastic straws do you think get thrown in the garbage every-single-day. We need to start taking this seriously, just like plastic bags.

The plastic bags came from hysteria in the 80’s of how baaaad paper bags were, so every supermarket switched to plastic bags...so stupid considering trees for bags and packaging are sustainable. The real problem is plastic water bottles, but no one will give those up unless it’s financially viable, but let’s continue working from small to large, so sad.

I know that royal has them and my family loves them, more than the slow waterslides, I think it would be awesome for a flow rider to be included in the next build

Is your wife’s name Hyacinth Bucket by chance?

Sorry this is 2018 not 1958. Smoking is not the “in” thing to do anymore. There will be just the usual few designated areas to smoke.

I would kill for a properly cooked burger with pink inside on any ship and circumstance

The hypocrisy is awesome, they have needed to ban plastic water bottles for years, and aluminum cans for sodas, they should just use fountains, hey but let's not allow common sense to get in the way of feeling good.

Is the MDR fancy?, Very mediocre food at best and calling it fancy one night doesn't make it so. With that being said, I do try to wear khaki pants and a non- tshirt when dining

Except for breakfast, i haven't used the buffet in years, they could save a fortune by closing it, and keep guys, the deli, and blue iguana open longer, and room service, this would be fine with me

A couple of years ago, my wife, my daughter and I got off the getaway, walked a bit down the pier, it was unfortunately raining, and boarded the carnival breeze for another week. It was reasonably easy

Flex perks from us bank is great as well, my wife and I haven't paid for hotels or flights for over 7 years, traveling every 4 months. It works great if you charge a lot .

The cruise lines bring in billions of tourist dollars to the Caribbean on an annual basis. Infrastructure rebuilding is the responsibility of the countries that these colonies/territories/countries belong to, i.e: the U.K, France, U.S, Netherlands, etc.

 

The cruise lines will continue to bring money in. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Thanks for the input, my wife just booked the aft balcony for mid December. We were on the EPIC a few years ago and had a great time, looking forward to try the aft balcony.

Is an aft facing balcony decks 8 or 9 better than a regular balcony. We have only ever had regular balcony and found the aft balconies available, just wondering if it was better and worth the extra few bucks.

I was on this same sailing, I pretty much agree with everything but the food, guys, the iguana and the BBQ place were pretty good but the rest was like Golden Corral (rest home food)
