Good Day All,

Traveling with our 4 kids ages 7-12.

What are the rules for what pools they can use and when? I was watching a video about the ship that mentioned that kids could only use the main pool after 5pm. And the Spice H2O after 5 PM. Not real concerned about that one...just the main pool. And the only pool that would be available to them would be the "kiddie pool". Is this correct?

Any insight is appreciated!

Thanks

THX

Good Day All,

Traveling on the Jade Feb 6/16 with our 4 kids aged 6-11.

Just curious if there are any other families with kids traveling and what types of activities they have planned during the port stops.

Looking for ideas!

We are doing the Feb 6th sailing. We booked only a week or so ago...so doing a bit of a scramble to get some information. Trying to escape the Central Canadian Winter!

Good Day All,

Experienced cruisers on the larger ships (160,000 tons plus), new to NCL and the Jade, 4 kids aged 11-6.

Looking for any tips and tricks from the experienced NCL'ers as well as the Jade pros! Best place to eat on Embarking day, quiet areas to sit, best place for lunch, snacks, tips for kids, tips for adults, etc.

Also, we have pretty much made up our mind to attend LFK as we visit Roatan. Any suggestions for the LFK packages, basic and add to it; do you get to use any chairs with just the island discovery package, food/drink prices if buying al la carte there, time to travel from the port to LFK, is the zip-lining worth the cost, are towels provided or available, how much time should we give ourselves to get back to the ship, etc. Are they cash only, tipping etiquette for transportation personal? Should we get the tour or just self guided for the zoo. Can you snorkel here?

I know that was a lot of questions rolled into one paragraph, but I appreciate any and all response!

We really enjoy these forums!

Anyone have any experience with these cabins?

Is this the only RCI ship that offers the "single occupancy" rooms for the single pricing?

Thanks

Are there any "no so great" studio cabin assignments with regards to noise, foot traffic, above or below noises deck areas etc?

Thx.

Anyone have any experiences, Good or Bad, cruising during these timeframes?

Thx

Good Day All,

Looking at a couple of options for sailing the third week of March. Not being from the USA, I was curious as if there were dates to stay away from cruising to stay away from the heavy partying and excessive loud noise etc that comes with the spring break season.

Dont get me wrong...I am always in favour of a good time...but if I am going to spend oodles on travel to get to a cruise, I would rather not take a cruise where most of the ship is a Frat Party. Just saying.

Any information would be appreciated.

Macdon221

Great,

Thanks for the info.

The social hour...is it normally well attended or just a few people?

Thx

Macdon221

Good Day All,

New to NCL. Have sailed with other cruise lines...but never alone.

Thinking of booking a studio room on the epic in March.

Anyone have any comments, good or bad about the rooms, solo cruiseing with NCL etc.

Cheers

Good Day All,

For the rock wall climbig on the Freedom Class ships...do you need proper footwear i.e sneakers etc or do they provide the appropriate shoes?

Thanks

Good Day All,

Sailing on FOS Feb 1 departure.

I have noticed there are no shows to book or even view online except for the ice show.

Is this normal for this sailing?

Thanks

Good Day All,

Looking for recommendations for a hotel/vrbo rental/etc for two nights later in the month for family of 6... Two adults and four kids under 10. We are flying into Orlando and spending two days before our Port Canaveral cruise departure. We do have a rental vehicle so travel is not an issue.

The amount of choice is daunting but difficult to pick something that we know will be safe, clean and enjoyable. We are trying to balance cost with acceptable!

If anyone had any recommendations it would be greatly appreciated.

Good Day all,

Looking for insight on the most economical way to transport our family (2+4 kids) from Sanford Airport to WDW? And then a few days later from WDW to PC on cruise day?

We have traveled here before ourselves and normally just rent a small car which has been cost effective. Now that we have 6...to jump to a van or SUV the cost more than triples for the two day rental.

Any suggestions are welcomed!!

Good Day All,

Probably a very elementary question...Cruising with our 4 kids aged 9-5 this winter on FOS. Have cruised with RC before but not with the kids.

Does the MDR have a childrens menu?

It is mandatory for the kids to use the childrens menu or do they have the option to order from the regular menu as well?

Thanks

Macdon221

Good Day All,

Traveling to the Orlando Area for a few days before sailing out of Port Canaveral on a sunday with RC.

Is there a standard tranportation service that is offered from the Disery area to the Port...or is it just a find your own tranportation company thing?

Any recomendations?

Macdon221

Good Day All,

Sailing on the FOS in February. I have Sailed RC before but not with our children. Does anyone have any kid friendly activites/excursions to recommend at these destinations? Our kids range in age from 10 to 6 years old.

Thanks
