As stated previously i wont answer as i dont need to justify myself. If anyone has their knickers in a twist about NCL being short of 75 dollars feel free to donate on my behalf 😅😅😅

Just curious....did you pay for the cruise?

 

 

What if it's not as expected?

Not exactly sure what you mean, I've booked a cruise which means I expect a big ship to be waiting in a port to take me to other places. If it's not there when it's supposed to be then I will complain.

I'm no longer going to be commenting on this matter, it's my decision what I spend my money on and whether I pay the DSC. I do not have to justify my decision to anyone.

Here's a fresh batch, feel free to add yours'.

 

46) Dragging the Captain on stage with you to sing the theme from Titanic on karaoke night.

47) Starting a water balloon fight with the NCL ship across from you in Cozumel.

48) Because you can't always reach things on the top shelf, you bring your Great Dane "service dog" to help you get your stuff on and off the shelf.

49) Piling you plate higher than the 12 inch limit in the buffet.

50) Trying to sing "washy, washy,,,happy, happy" to any Deep Purple song.

There's a 12 inch limit? Seriously? Brilliant!

I shouldn't imagine $75 is going to affect anyone that much. I just think it's a bit much, the daily service charge, the 18% gratuities, extra tips plus I pay a solo supplement for my cabin.

It mounts up quite a lot, if I can I'd rather know where the money has gone.

Why not leave the DSC alone & give that person a tip? That way you're sure they benefit without adversely impacting them or anyone else.

I don't really agree with it, it's a service charge yet I've not had any service yet. If the service I recieve is good then I'd happily pay but how can i pay for something that may not be as expected?

Except if you remove it he has to hand in any cash.

How does that get enforced? I've always paid my DSC but this time I've asked for it to be removed, I'd prefer to see that a certain person has definitely benefitted from my tips.

I was wondering if the Jade has an adults only area like Spice H20 on the Getaway. Thanks

What's dial 7? I imagine it's a cab firm? Any ideas of the cost to Newark from schwartz?

Hi yes it's for the Jan Sailing on the Breakaway. Thanks for the tips

Hi, does anyone have any suggestions of what I can do between getting off my ship and my flight which isn't til 7.30 in the evening.

I have looked into the cruise lines excursion but this only goes to JFK and la Guardia.

I'm conscious it's a long day with no Base.

Thanks

Hi,

I did the hop on hop off bus tour, they do a special cruise package whereby they store your luggage for you and you collect it before heading to the airport. I booked this through ncl as there was airport transfers but you can do it independently too.

Thanks for the great review, did you manage to catch the names of the duelling piano people by any chance?

Hi Can I ask what it's the absolute latest they make you get off the ship? Thanks

Thank you I'm sure I will enjoy with or without Santorini. I will be cross with myself if I don't make that island though

It's $30 per day

I agree with getting the unlimited internet package. I toyed with the idea of which package to get on the Getaway and in the end forked out for the unlimited. I used it quite a bit to stay in touch with people at home and I don't regret a single penny I spent! I would definitely get it on future cruises.

Hey Hmstims no way would I use the donkeys, I've seen a few videos and I think it's so cruel to have them going up and down all day especially in the heat.

At this moment in time I am inclined to stay onboard on that day as I really don't think I could stomach that height.

Thanks Agabbymama it's nice to know I'm not alone in my fear. I think ncl have a tour to oia but that too ends up at the cable car station. I will ask at the shore excursion desk what I can do when we dock in Santorini. Thanks for the help

From what I have read the excursions take you on a coach then drop-off back to get the cable car back to the ship. I will ask onboard but I fear I will just have to get on with it or miss a gorgeous place.

Thankyou, good idea about sitting with my back to the sea. I just think it will be a shame to miss Santorini out, it looks stunning.

Hello,

I am visiting Santorini in June on an NCL Jade cruise. Is anyone aware of any shore excursions that you don't have to use the cable cars for? I am not good with heights and don't think there's anyway i could use the cable car. I have seen you can ride donkeys but I wouldn't do that as I don't think it's fair especially in the heat. Thanks in advance.

Hi thanks for posting your review, I am on the same Sailing next year. I was just wondering what is the last possible disembark time? Do cabins have to be vacated by a certain time? Thanks

That's a shame, always next time. I was in there everytime they played, 4 nights out of the 7. That's the thing I miss the most.

I was on this cruise too when they rescued the refugees, when they announced it i didn't go and watch, I was enjoying the UBP and Howl at the Moon too much! Regret that now though, great pictures

I'm following! Did the Getaway in January and hanging onto my memories by reading other reviews!
