Does anyone here know the stats on when ships are most likely to be able to tender at GSC? When is worst?

Stayed in 9918 in October. Great balcony!

A new thread for 2018.

Anyone know who is currently on the Escape?

Small complementary breakfast buffet setup in Margaritaville each day weather permitting. If raining when leaving NYC the tables outside of Fat Cats are great to sit for sailaway. Wherever you want to be for sailaway head there immediately after the muster drill ends. The small bar at the entrance to LaCucina rarely has anyone there (Elaine the bartender is great to visit with). The area on deck 7 outside in front by the shuffleboard court is closest to the water and rarely anyone there. The view from the very back on deck 8 is beautiful. The glass panels in the waterfront deck 8 aft let you look down at the water for a different perspective. Make specialty dining reservations early. The Prime Meridian bar between Cagney's and Moderno is usually pretty empty. Music by the Maltings bar is excellent, Melvyn Howard should be there still in December. If no unlimited beverage package the duty free store lets you take your purchases with you on the last sea day if you want to drink anything from there. There are cigars available at the Maltings bar by the humidor/smoking room - there are also cigars available (different selection) for sale in the duty free shops. Mini-golf is more fun when the ship is rocking. Cigarette smoking areas are the casino, humidor/smoking room, outside of Maltings on deck 8 (but not at the bar), smoking area by the pool, bar area in Spice H2O (but again not at the bar). In Spice H2O the mens room is by the bar and the ladies room is on the other side past the waterfall. On 6-7-8 the bathrooms are located past the elevators, mostly men's on the right side and womens on the left. Not necessarily secrets, just some info. Enjoy!!!

There is a bar outside of Vibe on the Escape similar to Breakaway

On Breakaway next week. Great thread. Can you continue to post the dailies please?

I have found that if I connect to the NCL app on my iPhone I can iMessage, no pics, in airplane mode with wifi on. Worked on ship as well as messaging back home. Didn't use frequently, but no problems. There are other threads on this topic.

One possible improvement - change Margaritaville to Food Republic on Breakaway & Getaway

Anyone know the current lineup on the Breakaway? I heard HD Vuk is on break and Mario Markovic is current HD. I've never sailed with him as HD.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Julie on the Epic March 18 sailing. She was onboard for a couple of days to do some training. She looked fantastic and brightened the room.

Sailed on Breakaway several times. Last in May 2016. Humidor room, chairs outside of the humidor room/outside of Maltings, NOT at the bar outside Maltings but no problem at the tables, Spice at tables and chairs along the edge (not at the bar), Vibe when the bar is closed, sun deck after 8pm have all been great places to enjoy a cigar.

I cruised Breakaway on May 22. Boarded aft on 7, went down one flight of stairs to 6 and headed to the atrium.
