That is really cool.

Chair hogs and lines are the main reason I get Vibe pass when available. I had a dude on the Belize private island put a shirt on a table between 2 chairs he thought that meant he owned the two chairs and the table LOL( we were sitting there for 25 mins). After a exchange of words and a floating shirt in the pool I told him to keep the chairs in a not so pleasant way. He definitely avoided me on the ship when I saw him a few times.

Yea that thread the OP was clueless on a lot of things. NCL is actually spending more money by going to AWS. And the layoffs were IT folks working in there cooperate buildings and server rooms because they were replaced by AWS

I hate to break the news to everyone but its not just the Cheese that is basic on NCL its all the food. Most people do not eat more than basic foods so they will always get away with it. There prices for there cruises and what you get are a good deal. But in the last few years you can get better food on the new more expensive ships not just NCL Royal does this too on the Icon they had lobster in the buffet.

NCL simply went to cloud based services eliminating some local serviced jobs. This has been going on for a while I do not get some of the comments on here that have nothing to do with what is going on.

Yea I never heard of that. I eat fresh fish in Florida all the time. I get it fresh from Alaska and Hawaii. I think they should of just replaced the trout with salmon people get confused with steel head trout is basically the same.

Looks flimsy I would have thrown it out

in march we had Vibe passes on the Joy and I notice some of the cabanas said reserved not all of them. The ones that did not some folks just used them.

It sounds like the OP was never really a big Cruiser. The folks on here are addicted to cruising for the most part and will argue every point. I enjoy cruising but it is not my favorite vacation. I love our annual Hawaii vacation we have friends who live there but some folks I know do not like going there. The port in Orlando is horrible last year we had a similar experience but its only a few hours out of your day then you are on a cruise so we just put up with it. Now the food we all know it used to be better. But the majority of what we eat is good. A TA cruise is not my thing because you will have crowded areas everywhere during popular times a day and no one is getting off the ship to explore.

The last few cruises and on the Joy a few weeks ago they had a small buffet cart with cookies and sandwiches every night.

This happened to me almost identical. At the time I did not realize the cleaning crew were treated like slaves and bad things probably happen to them if they did not do there job right. Disgusting if you ask me You could not force me to go to those places again.

Just off the Joy a couple weeks ago boarded at 11:30 we had to go to the muster station then the help desk so we got to the Local at 12 and they were 3/4 empty. Last few cruises this is what we have done.

So yes your right unfortunately I usually have to cruise during high season which there are more kids. Which my last Joy cruise a few weeks ago there were not a lot of kids or young adults. Except folks were complaining about all the kids in the Haven on the Joy I was not in there just folks I met in the Vibe told me. Oh and thanks for the screen name thumbs up. I grew up near Detroit and I have not lived there in 20 years but I still love the Lions and always will. I thought they were going to the Super Bowl this past season so close.

You defiantly will be eating a cows worth of fillet (The only beef that was any good on my last cruise). The other cuts of beef are either not on the menu anymore or are flat out poor fatty cuts of meat.

That's funny! I mean to be honest most of the time you can get in the Haven cheaper with the Bid process or with price drops. If it is just me and the DW I like the Haven. If I am with a group of people not so much. My biggest problem is all the kids in the Haven every time crowded with kids.

And of course if you been going to the same place for years they don’t ask. One thing that makes folks mad is when they take there palm print. I just say no but folks go off. You also can use your pass port as ID

You have to have a picture ID which they photo copy they want to know where you live and who you are so they can bill you. A lot of folks like to scam and not pay there bill. Folks even get mad when they want to see ID to vote remember

Yes they photo copy your drivers license.

The things I see every cruise in the Buffet amazes me. There is never a lack of rudeness, entertainment, or discussing behavior. As for some cruises being full of rude folks more than others I can see this in a way where I live in Florida. You have folks from all over the country cramming in the state with different behaviors you are not used too. Loud rude folks, arrogant folks, the aggressive way they drive there cars. My favorite is when one of these folks will say this is horrible where I am from its much better. I always smile and say I think you should move back it will not get any better here. I love the folks in the dentist or dr office who pull out there out of state expired ID from there Louie Vuitton bag wearing there Lou Lou Lemon outfit and explain why they don't have the $50 co pay in cash or credit card. so many examples every day.

Just off the Joy there is no smoking in Spice H20. Smoking was allowed in the casino enclosed area the smoke jail on the pool deck and cigars in the humidor. The did not create the area near the humidor for cigarettes' like originally announced.

We saw the comedians they were ok

Sorry I missed it my son said the entertainment at the Q was great.

It was all good my son and his friends are very respectful for the most part. We saw him at dinner and after dinner almost every day. during the day we all did separate things unless we were on the islands together

Actually on the top floor of the Vibe there is a fairly large are that has loungers and a wood slat cover over head that blocks the sun and that is were I went when it was too hot.

It was not crazy crowded but there were a lot of people. Spice H2O was not too bad in the back of the ship. Probably a much better spot to hang out
