im sorry - wrong ship!! I was on the escape. Tried to delete the post but I cannot figure out how!

I figured someone would say that. I've sailed with Carnival 2 times in since 2010 and have yet to see anything close to a fight.

13 cruises - 9 with carnival - Not one fight. 1 NCL Breakaway - 3 fights. Upcoming on Escape - hopefully none, but we will see. Don't listen to Carnival haters - they all have nonsense on them, doesn't matter what line.

I was skeptical booking NCL out of NYC again as the first cruise (Breakaway) was one of the best ones, but at least 3 fights witnessed and altercations (one guy got a beer bottle smashed over his head). It certainly didnt ruin my trip and I am smart enough to leave the area immediately - but I was hoping because Bermuda cruise was pretty expensive my odds were good...lol Fingers crossed!!

Thank you for the awesome review and pix! Cannot wait to sail in August!

503 days -UGH!!!!!!!!!!!! lol Aug 12 NYC to Bermuda on Escape !

Your reviews are awesome and I thoroughly enjoy them!!!!

I saw this happening too. It was awful. You don't know the circumstances..but me personally, I would NEVER leave my kids on the ship. Anything can happen..accident, etc.

(I think my kids would have been happy with no curfew though!!)

I am curious (or just admitting I am nosey) to find out what exactly happened. I only heard one story - 2 kids put in captains quarters. ages 9 & 11...but who knows the truth.

There were several pages as well and the ship did not sail away until after 6:10.

Great, that is what I thought. Just double checking!! :)

Hi all,

I am a first timer on NCL this Sunday!! :) Question for the first night dinner. Reservations in Manhattan very early 5:30 (large group). Wondering how dressy (or casual) is acceptable. Smart casual ok? Deciding if I am packing 4 of us in a carry on to change incase luggage hasn't been delivered. Anyone w experience think luggage will be delivered by...430??

TIA!!

Chris

Sorry, I use the shipmate app or just google NCL Breakaway webcam. I was only looking at Breakaway as I am sailing next Sunday. A rainy day is better than home! "

They did... docked in Nassau at 530 overnight. I looked this am..Looked really pretty!

Now it looks cloudy :(

Your review is awesome!! Thank you for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!

I am sorry, not roundtrip - one way! from lauderdale to the miami port

I just booked John's Car Service. It was $120 roundtrip, but my hotel is northern Lauderdale. That was all inclusive, including tip - private car.

Chris

Thank you for the awesome pictures!! I think we are going to go here next Friday :)

I don't see that Carnival offers it as an excursion. Do you know if you can purchase the day of?

Chris

Has anyone used UBER from Ft Lauderdale Airport to hotel in Lauderdale??

When did I say I was a chair hog? LOL... Just asking if they were all out in full force still!!!

I will be IN my chair as early as I can to enjoy my day :)

How is the chair saving game on the lido deck? Will be on Victory in a few weeks and only have 1 sea day..wondering how early I need to rise to get loungers by the pool.

Has anyone used UBER? Is it available in Ft Lauderdale?

I saw a few suggestions. I cannot remember the limo service I saw on here.

We are staying at Ocean Sky in Ft Lauderdale.

we will be traveling to Miami port on a Monday.

Thanks all!!

CRJ- just a question on a message board...Wanted some info on recent cruisers...as my question stated....not stressing.

Thanks!

Ugh, thank you both!!!!!!!!! I am panicking with my cruise in 6 weeks.

I cruised back in 2010 with them with no passports and had no issues either.

I think I will look into getting them for the next one!

I decided not to get my children passports and use Birth certificates only. Has anyone had an issue boarding a carnival ship without a passport? Anyone boarded with ONLY birth certificates only in the last few weeks?

I know its recommended, etc... and it states on the website Bc's are acceptable.

They are 13 & 11. I have a passport.

Thanks all!!

Stargate - I grew up in Warwick and now live in Coventry. :) I have family in N Smithfield also!! Woooooonsock-et :)

Awesome review!! Thank you for sharing!! I will be sailing in 43 days :)

Oh, I am glad to hear about the salad bar!! We cruised Victory in 2004. Couldn't recall. I am not picky...or a complainer :) Any day on a cruise is better than a winter day in RI :)

Thank you for the tip on the aft grill too!

I love potato salad :)
