Kristi Barber Posted December 31, 2016 #1229 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Grabbing our two CruiseNext deposits... Sent from my iPhone using Forums What is the details on this? What are the benefits of booking next cruise while on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted December 31, 2016 Author #1230 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) What is the details on this? What are the benefits of booking next cruise while on board? We bought two $250 certificates at a cost of $500, and received $250 of on board credit. So the net cost was $250 for $500 worth of future deposits. When we returned home, we booked two rooms on the Escape in July 2017, and used a certificate for each. Some sailings allow you to use two certs on a single room, but this was not one of them (not that it matters, as we were getting two rooms anyways).

Hollr Posted January 2, 2017 #1231 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) After reading so many positive reviews of Maya Chan and then seeing your live review.... we paid our deposit tonight for the end of March! When I paid the invoice, I even mentioned that yours and Sue's reviews pushed me over the edge to the Point that I had to go ahead and book. Can't wait! Though I feel our experience will be opposite. My husband will be the one that sleeps all the time, and I'll be the one up wandering! Edited January 2, 2017 by Hollr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted January 2, 2017 Author #1232 Share Posted January 2, 2017 After reading so many positive reviews of Maya Chan and then seeing your live review.... we paid our deposit tonight for the end of March! We just booked 8 of us in July! Be careful... I sense Maya Chan is addicting. One regret ill mention... we had a leisurely morning before heading out to grab our ride. That was a mistake. Next time we'll be prepared to leave the ship as soon as it has been cleared. Time flies by once you're there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Lomas Posted January 4, 2017 #1235 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Just wanted to say thanks for all the effort you put into this great (and thorough review). I recently had booked the Dawn for a 10 day New Year's cruise for 2017 and was a bit hesitant since it is an older ship and the kids are used to all the bells and whistles of the newer RCCL ships. After completing your review, I am overjoyed I have the Dawn booked for this December. It looks like you had an amazing cruise and we hope to as well.

billfish Posted January 4, 2017 #1236 Share Posted January 4, 2017 We're on the Escape July 22nd. Thanks Doug.......Loved our last trip on the Escape . But this one is a little pricey. Will be on the Vista in three weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumming cruisers Posted January 8, 2017 #1237 Share Posted January 8, 2017 I'm trying to figure out how you did this? Really cool effect, I can only guess what Tom's looked like. We just got a ricoh 360, trying to figure out how you did that cool pic? Step by step please? LOL! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you're not aware that the Carousel Bar actually rotates? All we did was plop a GoPro down on the bar and recorded a timelapse. The magic of the bar then took over. I haven't attempted much video with the Ricoh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iyaayas Posted January 8, 2017 #1240 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Was there any noise from the pool or other areas in your suite 12520? Considering an upsell to an Owners Suite 12502. Any problems with foggy windows. Any info would be helpful. Currently have an aft suite on deck 10. On the fence with this deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any problems with foggy windows. Any info would be helpful. Currently have an aft suite on deck 10. On the fence with this deal. No people-noise whatsoever, even when out on the balcony. We could hear the pool band in the distance, which was nice. I don't have specific info about fogging in that front owners suite. This was as much as I could see of it (above the bridge)...

TheDougOut Posted January 8, 2017 Author #1243 Share Posted January 8, 2017 (edited) Thanks for the info Dug. Could you hear the pool band/music inside your room and how late is the pool area open? Not at all. These rooms are ridiculously quiet on the inside. The family next to us had 3 or 4 young kids, and we never heard a thing. The late night pool activity varies, with deck parties taking place some nights (white hot). Take a glance at the dailies I posted a few pages back for specific times. But for this forward suite area on deck 12, once you step into the corridor you're surprisingly isolated from what's going on outside.

We are trying to decide so we can make reservations. Thanks for your amazing review! Have you experienced specialty dining on other NCL ships? If you have, then it's definitely worth checking out Los Lobos as it's unique to the Dawn, and really offers a great experience. If you're new to NCL, I'd suggest perusing the menus at LeBistro and Cagney's, and choosing one of those. You could always visit Los Lobos for a small plate or two - the guac and empanadas would work. Have a great cruise!

Depend on your favorite. If it's only a choice of one, then it's up to your preference. The art work is supposed to look like that on purpose.
