I saw a YouTube video and told myself I'll never book.

Booked the breakaway for 14 days instead

Thanks guys. More than what i thought.

For the drinks. Grandparents have to walk all the way to Buffet to fill up. Just was hoping there was other filling stations.

Doesn't everyone have a chance To the shows if they don't book tix? So they don't miss them. Or is that just first come first serve?

Surprised ncl took the bridge tour away just did it on carnival in December lol. Good for ncl. Say try first!

And yes dressing up. Polo and Dress pants. I'm not one to be all fancy but not one to look like I'm going to a gym for basketball in shorts either haha

Moderno is a upcharge restruant. Correct?.

Reservations for dining.... U make a time prior 90 days for set time nightly? And is there a penalty if u miss a night that u reserved? How long can lines be on the BA without a reservation

Thanks for all your help. U switch like for a few years and wow. U miss everything!!!

Thank you! I was also looking to see where or if there is a Flamingo Grill? Free eating area? Or is that where Jimmy Buffets is now?

last NCL was the gem 5 years ago. I know things have changed. Done all research I can. But have a few things to have no answers to get.

Doing the BA. For 14 days out of N.Y..

Is there lobster in any MDR during any part of the trip? Or only upcharge at Specialty Dining?

What is the minimum Dress code to Manhattan/Taste/Savor? ... (No Elegant Night) correct. Just an option to dress up if u want? Polo and Dress pants ok? Not bringing tie if I don't need to

How well is the connection of the texting app aboard. Worth 12.99/per phone... I'm with a party of 9

Do they offer a ship behind the scene tour? Prices? 80$ I read?

Do mini suite sofas pull out to a bed or just remove the back to make a bed?

Have 3 grandparents going. Where are the free fill up drink stations locsted.. buffet & anywhere else? Pool side? Atrium?

When or how can u make a reservation to eat at a MDR at a specific time? Is that allowed or just first come first serve nightly?

Thanks for any and all answers. Hope it wasn't too long of a list

Oops!

A balcony room WITHOUT BALCONY factored in is 170sq feet

A MS WITHOUT BALCONY factored in is 206sq feet.

You basically get 15sq extra space for bathroom and 15 extra as feet in room space.

We are a tall family and a MS has more room and floor space.

Just get a room where the bed is near window. So closet space is more available and makes it feel even more roomy

Hey there. Didn't expect to see you over here on the NCL boards. We are looking for a cruise in May and the kids really want to do a big ship. If we can't find one, maybe we will just have to pick up some missing states like VT for me and CT for Ron and kids and come visit some old cruise buddies. We miss you too!

I live in CT. don't stop here. It's a POS state with nothing to do besides high taxes and Lyme Disease. Wouldn't want u to be miserable here. We all are as residents

Thanks both of you. So free juice and coffee is available at o'sheeans too? Would help grandparents as they are fwd ship. Rather than having to walk to garden cafe.

Hey all. Havent cruised NCL since 2011.

I have 8 latitude points right now. I am currently booked for a 14 day cruise on Breakaway and booked 9 months advance giving 14 more pts...so giving me 28 total points (for such cruise) will i become silver for THIS sailing? Or still bronze... and wont add the points to my status until your cruise has ended? Carnival makes is where if you are changing levels during the cruise. U start at the newest achieved level for the full trip.

Casino wise... cashless/ticketless? Money in and.... slip out. Or money gets uploaded into a players bank? 1500 slot points for Drink Card?

Juice and coffee station's [on breakaway] elderly grandparents. Is the free juice and coffee only located in buffet? Or are there other places for them as well to get the drinks included with thier fare?

Do you have to complete online checkin first to view excursions? Cant seem to find it on NCL.com once logged in. Only packages shown are in room gifts or bon voyage packages. Wanna view/book a few b4 they sell out potentially.

Thanks everyone for the help. Im sure theres been a few changes from my last NCL trip. Just wanna be on the right page when i go. All lines are different.

Following... we'll be boarding the Splendor on Dec 26th as you're getting off... can't wait!!! :D:D

 

Hope you enjoy the rest of the cruise and glad to hear the MDR has improved since last night :)

 

We're also a little torn on the twice/day vs once/day servicing of the room - the only thing we'd really want for an evening servicing is just the fresh towels. We were able to ask for that last time and it was no problem, so hopefully it will be just as easy this time around. :)

 

Enjoy the Splendor and take good care of her for us :p

 

Celine

I board monday too!!

Going on her monday! Love her!! Cant wait to be back on her

The walkways are on starboard side of the ship

So anything on that side NOISEY!!!!!! bands all night in casino. List goes on. Im in 6336. Over the casino but PORTSIDE it seems to be less noise below since theres no heavy traffic. Im right above the casino cage and know ill have no worries

Book port side

OP. Your signature says you are 15 yr old with 60+ days at sea. You have obviously boarded a cruise before......

Prices starting from per stateroom:

 

$49.95 USD - 2 day and 3 day cruises

When did that start. I was 49.95 for 8 days on tbe sunshine in aug and 49.95 for 14 days on the pride in march

Did the pride journey in march for 14 days. Above is right. Relaxed atmosphere. Average age is 52+. The CASINO WILL BE PACKED! old people love to gamble haha

Other than that is basically 2 cruises in 1. We had 8 straight days of ports which was in perspective a full length cruise in itself never less the 6 sea days. 3 on each side.

You will have 3 dress up nights. 2 elegant and 1 formal which is part of the captians gala night. With midnight buffet and ice carving and decorative plates in the MDR.

Enjoy yoursekf. And think you get get 14 points on your account. Gets you to the next level faster :)

Doing the splendor out of miami for NYE with my free BounceBack!!!. Cant wait!

You just salvaged my day of trying to plan a teip to Alto de Chavon!

Altho it is 7$ roundtrip to the place. How much is it to get in? $25??

Looks great! Were there beggers outside and hasslers

Is there an entry free to Alto? Ive read its 25$ p.p. that gives u access to village. Shops. Restaurant and beach?

Isnt that the amphitheater?

I was told cass de campo has tgat mid evil square of villages. Shopping and restaurants over looking some river.

What exactly is casa de campo? Seems everyone us confusing it with the amphitheater

Taking a Southern Itinerary that include La Romana (I know..how lucky am I!?) Not....

Anyway. Trying to salvage the day and go to Casa De Campo.

Ive read so many different things.. do they have day passes to purchase? Or do you have to book an excursion thru carnival to gain access as the only way or u will be denied?

One website said that if u dock with a cruise line u gain free entry to the resort but shopping and dining is still a charge.

I know its 5 min away but my list of excursions does not have anythinh for casa de campo and would like to know what are my options

Id like to see the shops and the mid evil structures

Only been on the sunshine of the 3 above options

But.... id never sail a fantasy class ship due to size and heard many horror stories of the Valor

Hence why i booked my free BounceBack on the sunshine since id never pay full price to go on her and I LOVED HER

U will not go wrong on the sunshine. Great layout. Great Serenity. Emma is a GREAT CD. By far the best. I know bunny the casino host quite well. And honestly think its a perfect ship

Any info on LaRomana anyone??

Do u need to book an excursion thru carnival to gain access yo Casa De Campo!? Or can u take a 5 min drive and buy a day pass??

Also heard that if u are docked with the ship u get a free entry to casa de campo?

Anyone Help?

SAVE YOUR 5$

was on the sunshine last month. Wifi was HORRIBLE. Took 25 min to reconnect sometines. I bought thr value package as well and they gave me 20$ off. U will be lucky to get 1 bar for wifi. Worst ive seen on a ship

Not metal. I bring double sided tape for decorations. Jusr was on her less than a month ago

Well, keep in mind this week is the CD conference, so the normal CDs are all in Miami. The CDs on board this week are fil5l-ins getting their feet wet as a CD.

So true. Going on the NYE splendor cruise in DEC. Chloe Loddo is the CD but some other chick is running the show in the meantime to my knowledge

Dec 26th out of miami on the splendor.

Any ideas what to do in La Romana? Cant wait for Aruba and Curacao tho!

As well as. I was on the splendor before. Can anyone say what extras she got from drydock in march. I know its not a 2.0 ship
