In 2012, my husband and I booked OX on the Sky for our honeymoon and got 6208. Well, we decided to do the Sky for my birthday weekend in December and booked OX again... and got the same exact cabin! What are the odds???

I read a bunch of pages of the Cheers thread that convinced me to get Cheers. We aren't huge drinkers, but do like sparking water with dinner, drinks at the shows, and a drink or 2 during the day (and specialty coffees too). See why I want it? Well, my husband isn't convinced. What made you decide to get it (or not- maybe I can be swayed the other way)?

Thanks! We will change it then.

If we choose assigned seating and then miss our time in the MDR, can we still do anytime seating? With a little one, I am a bit nervous about a schedule.

Thanks all! My daughter goes to preschool, but dropoff isn't always easy.

Can you tell me more about this American table? Does this mean the MDR is casual now if there are no more tablecloths? Is it better to do assigned seating or anytime dining?

Hello,

We just booked the Glory for February with our 3 year old. We have done MSC and most recently NCL (and another NCL coming next month). Any tips or anything I should know vs. NCL? Also... for a mom putting LO into Camp Carnival for the first time?

I leave tomorrow for my cruise (YIPPEE)!!! Anyway, I haven't had a chance to scope out the wine list... so tell me, what is your favorite wine on board (brand)? Anything to stay away from? It can be bottled or by the glass.

Yes, there will be a menorah in the Atrium with a lighting ceremony each evening.

I got through. The woman was very nice, but said there are no upgrades available for that sailing :( I figure I can call back next week to see if anything changes, but online there aren't a lot of suites left.

I called for my 12/3 NCL Gem cruise and let it ring for 5 minutes. I guess if you get a call or an email, your best bet is to leave a message for them. I will try again later today though.

I went about 6 years ago and it was in the 50's in the morning but warmed up to the high 70's. We ended up on the beach there... it's gorgeous and all Europeans. Ice cream/Gelato everywhere. I want to go back!

Thank you everyone! 2 insides it is :)

Who do you call? You PCC or a different number?

We are leaving on the Gem in a few weeks and want to book another cruise while there (really just get FCC), but I do know we want to do the Getaway for my 40th birthday and include my stepkids (11 and 13 at the time and we will also have my 3 year old with us). Anyway, we are debating between the Family Oceanview or 2 insides. My birthday is in early December, so usually those times end up being 3rd and 4th in a stateroom sail free... but I don't know how that would effect our family cabin. Does anyone have experience with this?

As long as we are inside and have bathrooms, all is well :)

Thank you both! Our plan as of right now is to try and get there around 11/11:30.

We are leaving from NYC on NCL Gem in December (coming from CT). Since we have a baby and all the fun baby stuff, we are going to park at the pier. What is the best time to arrive to get in, parked, and on the ship quickly?

Thank you everyone for the quick reply! I will have my client host the call, and I will just call in.

I cam sure this has been asked before, but I am going on the Gem in December. I have a call/meeting that I need to do (nobody can do it in my absence since I have the history). Can I do VOIP calls and share my screen/slides (WebEx) from my stateroom or are there blocks on the WiFi?

Thank you both!

They couldn't do it for me since we are only 34 days out :(

Hi everyone- my husband, just turned 2 year old daughter and I are going on the Gem in early December, but I am wondering about getting the Specialtyy dining plan through the promo. Would I have to add her on to the plan? She doesn't eat much, so I don't think that would be worth it. Thoughts?

So this will work for my cruise on the Gem in December??? I have to call if so :)

Thank you for that link!

Hi All,

We are going to be in Tortola with my just turned 2 year old in early December, and we were thinking of going to The Baths with her. Is this doable and ideal or is there someplace better suited for us? Also, if we do go there, can we bring a stroller or is it not worth it due to the terrain (I am a babywearer anyways, so not an issue if stroller isn't ideal)?
