OhJinkies Posted July 5, 2012 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Does NCL do anything on board for 4th of July since I assume pax mistly Americans??? I was on a Med cruise on the Gem back in 2010 -- on the 4th of July, we were in Split, Croatia but left around 2 p.m. They had a nice cookout by the pool with BBQ ribs, corn on the cob, and some strange concoction with sweet potatoes and onions (but it was tasty).

cruiseat50 Posted July 5, 2012 #3 Share Posted July 5, 2012 We are going to be on the POA next year on the 4th so wondering if they will do something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikini Posted July 5, 2012 #4 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I've been wondering the same thing, but we have friends who are on the Jewel right now. When they get back I'll ask what was done on the 4th of July. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimf Posted January 14, 2013 #5 Share Posted January 14, 2013 I too would love to hear more about the 4th of July on the ship. We will be on the Jewell for an Alaskan cruise, but the 4th falls on a day at sea. Any fireworks? Thanks! Kim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

armwinder Posted January 15, 2013 #8 Share Posted January 15, 2013 We were on the Windward back in 96 when the crew had their own float and marched in the parade, we watched from the ship, lots of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricron Posted January 15, 2013 #9 Share Posted January 15, 2013 If you're expecting a fireworks display launched from the ship, cruise Disney. Disney Corporation has a fireworks school for its parks, which also trains crews on its ships. No other cruise line has that capability in house, and I don't think they could afford the insurance to do so of they hired an independent fireworks company to put on a show from the ship.

There will be fireworks on the Breakaway (and probably the Getaway too): http://breakaway.ncl.com/latest/press-releases/norwegian-breakaway-will-light-up-the-night-with-a-captivating-show-on-every-cruise/view/2013-01-08 .

jdvmd Posted January 15, 2013 #11 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Just to compare, we did a Fourth of July cruise on the Carnival Freedom to the Panama Canal a couple of years ago. Embarkation day was the 4th. They had presidential trivia and a special in the dining room with apple pie and American treats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
