I googled looking for cruise cabin mate and cruisemates.com came up in the results. Maybe try there..:)

I'm so glad to read these posts - my phone ringtone is 'hello, this is the sea calling'.... from that commercial awhile ago.

 

one time I was on the phone with RC and my cell phone rang - I let the rep listen to it and she laughed!

Hi Looking, did you find that in an App or make it yourself? I'd love to have that for my ringtone:D

I have to say, now that I know you can get these alert tones I want one. I'm having some issues with my phone. It's a Pantech Flex and it won't let me change it. I even went to the store for help. The guy said it have to search for notifications sounds not ringtone sounds :confused:

Something to keep me busy for the day right??

The displayed photo offers pervs a chance to identify unescorted females. Nothing paranoid about that.

Good point. Never thought of that..

I am not sure if he did, but mine from the same trip are available for download in one of the last posts from my review of that sailing. It's a very large file, FYI.

 

You can find it here:

Thanks Matt, i'll definitely take a look

Mango Mohito's and Peach Bellini's :D

Hello all,

I'm curious about the photo taken when you first board. Does it have to be done or can you just politely keep walking and opt out?

This will be my first solo trip and I'm honestly not sure I want to do it.:confused:

Any advice much appreciated

Thanks

Welcome back. I was on Majesty the weekend before you. I've been on Majesty several times and always go back because I find the service and friendliness of staff to be the best in the fleet.

Hey there Cruiseboy, did you ever get a chance to post the pics of the Cruise Compass from your recent Majesty trip?

If you did I cant seem to find them:(

Thanks

Wish I had some tips for you but I'm in the same boat. Booked the Jan 30th sailing from Miami and would love to hear from others as well.

Happy sailing:)

We did it in Belize last year. A lot of fun but the bus ride to get to the place was over an hour. Bumping up and down on a yellow school bus, not so much fun:p

I've only taken longer trips in the past. Does anyone happen to know if the drink packages are even available on the 3 day cruises?

Thanks

Are you all sure?

I still think it is the website builders to get in on the money train !

 

:D

The prepaid tips have been $12.00 for over a year now..You aren't being scammed.

Move on......:p

While I do agree children have just as must right to cruise as adults, I will say it is frustrating when they are not disciplined by their parents or have forgotten their manners .

I try to go with the flow, and am all for everyone doing their own thing, but my concern is when they run through the halls or up/down the stairs with no regard for anyone else's safety.

Other than that, I say live and let live-they're on vacation too:cool:

Anyone else going?:D

Hi everyone,

I've cruised several times as a 'couple' in the past and enjoyed all of them very much.

Things have changed and now I'm beginning my journey as a 'solo' cruiser with a trip booked in Jan 2015 and my eye on another one in April. I'm noticing a pattern where they are all with the same cruise line. I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing, but since I now have to account for the single supplement it tends to sting a bit more.

My question to all you seasoned solos is this:

Are you loyal to the same cruise line for all your trips, and do you feel its worth it to do so,?

Do you tend to concentrate more on whoever is least expensive?

Or, is the itinerary your main focus?

I'm not sure how I feel about all of this yet and am curious to know what others think.

Any input or advice is much appreciated.

Thanks

Anyone just LOVE or HATE staying on the ship while docked? We will have our kids, and i have been to cozumel, and only plan to do minimal shopping in Hondoruas. Mainly looking for thoughts of those who stay on the ship.

I love to stay on the ship when its docked/tendered. You can explore all those areas you might not have otherwise had time to see. Get a meal and drinks and not feel like you're in a cattle call, and you get to enjoy the whirlpools and main pool any way you choose. :p

Are you going on a new itinerary? Or maybe a different ship? I'm scheduled to cruise Bermuda for the third time, and this will be my 5th time on the Grandeur. I love doing what I know I have enjoyed in the past, so it won't disappoint, but I also want to keep it fresh and exciting. Maybe familiarity is getting a bit stale... :eek:

I'm going on the Majesty out of Miami in Jan 2015. First time for the ship, first time for the port and most importantly first time as a solo cruiser.

Can't wait to see how it all plays out:eek:.

Last year we went on Allure Eastern. This year we went on Oasis Western.

We loved both cruises. These 2 cruises were with our kids.

 

Our next cruise will be just hubby and me. I have 2 cruises booked in 2016 and I know we will not go on both so close together and I need to choose which one to keep. I'm not sure about 2015 right now.

 

So I have these 2 booked. Which would you pick and why?

 

Freedom

April 24, 2016

7 night Western

Ports: Labadee, Falmouth, George town, and Cozumel

Cabin D1 9614

Total including tax and port fees 1915

 

Brilliance

Feb 27, 2016

5 night

Ports: Key West & Cozumel

Cabin D1 9256

Total including tax and port fees 1101

 

Thank you for helping me :)

Not sure where you live but the end of February may still be cold and snowy. For me personally I would pick the February trip for just the mental aspect of getting away from the cold and into the sun :)

Hi all,

I'm thinking of taking a short 3 day trip from Miami on the Sky and was wondering if anyone happened to have a copy, or knew where I could find one for the Daily info magazine they leave in your stateroom?

I usually said with RC so I guess you could call me a NCL newbie:D

Any help greatly appreciated..

Finally, here are the promised Cruise Compasses!

And here's a link to the Taste of Tuscany menu.

Thanks so much forthe Compass info. I'm sailing in January as a solo so I really wanted to see what they had for activities.

Hello all,

Has anyone ever taken a chance and booked a guaranteed cabin on Norwegian? I found a great rate on an inside and an oceanview cabin for a quick 3 day get away on Halloween and was curious what your experiences were.

Any input, good and bad greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have the Cruise Compasses and some overall comments about the cruise. I will try to get those posted tomorrow.

I booked a solo trip Jan 30, 2015 so I would really love to see the cruise compass as well.

Thanks for such a great review with wonderful pictures.

Uggh,

They could reduce or remove the single supplement all together for solo cruisers. It's sometimes hard to swallow having to pay almost %100 percent of the price for a 2nd person in a room even though they won't be there.

Thanks,

I'm still at gold level but every little bit helps to move up right? :D

I just booked my first 3 day solo trip on RC and when I posted on here I forgot to ask about the points. Will I get double the points for cruising solo even though its just a short trip?

Thanks
