NCL released sailings for Norwegian Viva (2nd in the Prima class) and despite the hefty cost, I booked a Studio for Viva's first transatlantic in November 2023. So now I have four 2023 cruises booked, all NCL. Ditto - booking today for Jan 2024 Viva (already have March 2023 Prima) 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

March 5, to be precise, as part of the La Lido Loca group cruise. I booked a Studio for that but since I've got a Studio on the Prima transatlantic, I'm tempted to upgrade to a balcony if the cost isn't too prohibitive (or even if it is). Well, at least the arrival of the Prima-class ships might mean fares on Encore will drop a little. Now that I've cancelled the Edge and Getaway cruises, there's a big empty spot on the calendar from now through mid-June. What to do, what to do... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastcat Posted January 17, 2022 #3778 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) So much for that empty calendar spot. See, NCL is offering 2 extra Latitudes points per night for some Alaska sailings, and a 7-day cruise with extra points would move me into Platinum status before the Prima transatlantic, and two extra dinners plus free laundry is a nice thing, and Seattle is my home port, and I just had to cancel those two cruises, and the CruiseNext from the Getaway cruise landed in my account this morning... Now my next cruise is April 30 on Norwegian Bliss, in a Studio of course. Edited January 17, 2022 by coastcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IRMO12HD Posted January 25, 2022 #3781 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Four days to go! Navigator of the Seas B2B -- 28 - 31 Jan 2022 and 31 - 4 Feb 2022. Trying out an Interior with Virtual Balcony for the first leg, and a OV Balcony for the second. Looks like we'll be heading into cooler (for the area, anyway) temperature. Looking forward to exploring several points of interest in Ensenada. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was fun and surprising - I didn't know anything about Mexico's wine industry. When I took the tour (through NCL), everyone got a free bottle of wine. It was a long drive back to port. The guide had plastic cups and a corkscrew. The driver switched to a classic rock station. I probably don't need to explain what ensued. Last time around, I skipped Ensenada on both legs of the B2B because I had a balcony and the Refreshments package includes milkshakes from Johnny Rockets. That made for a great lazy day (or two, or seven to be honest). There are food trucks near the giant flag if you like tostadas and churros. Yum, churros, I was almost tempted to disembark just for that. I've never taken a tour in Catalina (this was my second visit) because the town is charming.

While I was not completely delighted with my Majestic Princess cruise last year, that was more due to the passenger mix. The ship is pretty and OMG I loved the Harmony restaurant so much. I mean, I'm really tempted. My husband just said go for it. I need to check my meeting schedule at work first but... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
