HeyYouKidsGetOffMyLawn Posted June 25, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Excellent news. I'm almost tempted to try them now. Maybe I'll do a modified B2B with a one-day gap between the cruises so I can try both ships. Thanks. This might be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Croptop Posted June 26, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Interesting. Could make for an interesting long weekend getaway. I just priced out a trip over the Canada Day long weekend (30 Jun to 02 Jul) and an Oceanview stateroom would be $256.52 all in. That's cheaper than the airfare to get to PBI from YYZ! Has anyone here actually sailed on these ships? I'll have to go see if I can find some reviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYouKidsGetOffMyLawn Posted June 26, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Has anyone here actually sailed on these ships? I'll have to go see if I can find some reviews. I just (30 minutes ago) booked a trip to test drive the cruise line. US$ 216 for an oceanview. I leave tomorrow. I guess I should put gas in the minivan and pack a bag. I'm not even excited. But I am very amused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyBlond Posted June 28, 2018 #5 Share Posted June 28, 2018 I sailed on the Grand Celebration last year. It's an older retired ship. formerly the Carnival Celebration. I thought they did a great job with it's last renovation. It looked better than when I sailed on it with Carnival in 2000. Not many bells and whistles, but it was clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The ship was very easy to navigate other than the typical dining room deck that you can't walk from one end of the ship to the other because of the galley. I had a great solo trip. Interesting.

HeyYouKidsGetOffMyLawn Posted June 28, 2018 #8 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Be sure to report back. Have a great couple of days! This is a mid cruise update. I'm having a great time. This is simply a wonderful value for a solo cruiser. My room is way bigger than I expected and my bed is comfortable. The staff is energetic and constantly smiling. I could not be more satisfied with this cruise and I'm pretty sure I'm coming back. Maybe I'll try the other ship next time. Disclaimer: I own shares in Norwegian Cruise Line (NCLH). Enough shares to get some shareholder OBC for my longer cruises. I would get back on this ship before booking a 3-day NCL Sun trip again. I'm not kidding.

Flip2cruise Posted July 3, 2018 Author #10 Share Posted July 3, 2018 Thanks for sharing, might make for a nice add on cruise, if I’m already in Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Colby Pottinger Posted July 13, 2018 #11 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I am going to Florida on business next week, this now makes it even better. I can add a short cruise in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
