Just off Getaway 1-8-17

[LoraJ]

So I was keeping a list of good, meh and bad for this cruise but decided it was all too nitpicky because we really had a nice week and still enjoy NCL.

 

I ended up switching my promo to the UBP last minute and am glad that I did. I think it's a great perk although I feel it brings the service level down in many places.

 

This was my first time doing Caribbean with NCL, our other NCL cruises were Ctn and Med. So not sure when the $25 towel thing became a thing. I think it may help cut down on chair saving.

 

One thing that is really my only big complaint, which I don't think is an NCL thing but with most cruise line, I miss midnight buffets. They were such events and it was nice to have a variety of food. I was shocked to see the buffet close at 11:30 and your only options was waiting forever at O'sheehan's or room service with a service charge.

 

The captain had the most hilarious announcements, like Office Space so done with your job type announcements.

 

And there was this old guy "Crazy Legs" who was all over the cruise having a good time. I want to be like him when I am his age.

 

Debarkation was painful. 90 minutes and we left cabinet at like 8am and then had to sit in customer because we didn't have the right form for my husband's nice casino winnings. But he will get his photo on the Ncl site.

 

Not sure what else to say now. If you have questions,. Ask..

They say you will be charged $25 for a pool towel that is not in your room at the end of the cruise. I have never heard of it happening.

Oh... The same thing on Carnival.

We too do miss those midnight buffet. May not see its return at a time of cost cutting. Thanks for your thoughts.

Saw this on the Escape last April. Unfortunately it does not help with the chair saving. One night our cabin steward left 4 new pool towels and only took two with him because the kids were swimming. It was nice to have two extra for a few days!

Hi, did you go to the meet and Greet? I met a few nice families that I ran into during the rest of the cruise so it was fun to see familiar faces! We had a wonderful cruise overall and will post pics in my review later this week!

Nothing really. Sat at the pool and walked around and looked at some of the shops. The went back and hung out on the ship. Was tempted to zipline but didn't. Ended up doing it at a water park in Costa Maya which was a lot of fun.

Hi! I didn't make it as I had a spa appointment. Looking forward to your review.

What is the $25 dollars regarding the towels. Could you elaborate? Thanks. Leaving on the Getaway on 2/5/17.

How long did you have to wait at O'Sheehans? Did O'Sheehans have special items each night?

 

 

Any special menu item that you can recommend?

 

 

I must be hungry :p
