Did they open the solarium pool up for kids to use?  I believe this is the only indoor pool correct?

We were just on the Bliss the minimum to drive is 56” to do a single driver and they measure you if it is even the slightest under no go. I believe they are Confusing 4’8” with 48 inches.   It was a huge issue for us as one child was over and one was just under.  For the double car no height minimum  but they have to go with someone over 4‘8“ and there is no weekly pass very limited times Evans instead of 8 laps they only get 4.  

We are sailing in Feb, is this show good for kids? Is it worth taking them? Ages 8-11

thanks

I've been on both NCL (escape, jewel) and RCCL (allure) recently I completely understand and agree with weespeed. The crew on both NCL ships seemed happy to be there and proud to serve, while on the Allure they did their job but never a smile or go out on if their way to do extra. We were booked on the liberty for feb and just switched to the getaway because we felt this made a big impact on our overall feeling on the cruise . One of the other things I noticed is that on Allure it was more formal and the passengers seemed more stuffy. We just feel more comfortable with the freestyle type cruising it really is a personal preference. We enjoyed Allure just felt NCL was. Better fit for our family style.

looking to find out who the comedians are for the Escape July 15, 2017 sailing. If you have been onboard recently and remember please let me know.

I took an inside passage cruise on NCL. It stopped at Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan, and Victoria and we also spent a day cruising through Glacier Bay National Park. You can definitely take an inside passage cruise that cruises through Glacier Bay, you just have to search the right cruise lines. There are a few threads that thoroughly specify which lines cruise Glacier Bay.

 

I found that I saw much more land than the other cruises I have been on (Caribbean, Mediterranean, Pacific Coast), but probably not enough for someone who is afraid of cruising and not seeing land. Especially at nighttime.[/quo

 

Thanks I haven't come across any itineraries that include both I will keep on the hunt for that.

We are hopeful she will be fine once she is onboard she hasnt actually tried it.

Why would someone who is terrified of not seeing land and cruising in general take a cruise. Makes as much sense as someone who is afraid of heights driving to the top of Pikes Peak. How are they planning to get to AK - by car?.

 

Check out this site - http://www.ringbell.co.uk/info/hdist.htm. If you are 20 feet about the ground, your line of site to the horizon is 5.5 miles. You will be more than 5.5 miles from the shore for much of your cruise.

She understands its an unreasonable fear and wants to conquer it. We are taking a family cruise with many generations and she doesn't want to miss out on the family time. I am really looking for suggestions from people that have actually experienced the cruises not just commenting to comment but thanks

We have a first time cruiser coming with us next summer to Alaska. We have cruised 6 times to the Carribean but never alaska. Our first time cruiser is terrified of not seeing land and cruising in general. I heard that Glacier Bay is not to be missed but wasnt sure if that can be combined with an inside passage trip? Looking at the glacier bay maps it doesn't seem like you are far from land can you still see land kind of?

The noise was the primary concern. This being our first time with the Oasis class I was a little nervous about what would be going on over our room.

 

We always cruise on the top stateroom deck and have never had problems with noise previously so I just wanted some confirmation that we would be able to enjoy quiet time in our room/on our balcony.

 

Thanks

We are sailing on the Allure in Feb 2017 in 14598 wondering how the deck noise was for you ?

thanks
