DadofKAD Posted April 5, 2018 #3701 Share Posted April 5, 2018 They posted three themed-nights on Instagram today. Caliente, Nashville Nights (much to the chagrin of some of you I’m sure) and Masquerade. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NatureBoy71 Posted April 5, 2018 #3703 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I said the Nashville night would be just one party like they do with the others. MASKerade is interesting! Wonder if Calilente will actually be outdoors on the TA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motegi Posted April 5, 2018 #3704 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Hmmm... Interesting. So they will actually let passengers wear masks at a party onboard? I was on a different line with a costume party where they announced that masks that covered passengers faces were not allowed because of security reasons... From the image in their social media post am I to assume that the theme is more of a traditional Venetian masquerade ball rather than Halloween style superhero costumes?

I’ve never heard of any costume restrictions at any of the Halloween parties on NCL cruises before. I wouldn’t think it would be any different at Masquerade.

Many people brought and wore elaborate “Comicon” quality costumes. About one hour into the party the emcee came on stage and stated that Carnival Safety Officers told them that any masks that covered guests faces were not allowed and must be removed immediately. So much for superhero costumes! So I was interested to see what NCLs policy was on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone using Forums My sister, niece and nephew and I went to the murder mystery lunch on the Epic and it was fun. You have a set menu. The show was fun (it was some of the Second City people when they still had that). A bit of audience participation. And as it was near the end of the cruise, a lot of the inside jokes clicked with the audience. They’re not for everyone, but we had a nice time.

Suekai Posted April 5, 2018 #3709 Share Posted April 5, 2018 From NCL's press release about the ship: "In line with its youth programming across the fleet, Norwegian Bliss will offer a wide range of family-friendly activities for guests to enjoy including family balloon twisting, interactive games and the Family Glow Party." So, Glow Party is on. Source: https://es.ncl.com/press-releases/norwegian-cruise-line-unveils-features-norwegian-bliss Sent from my iPhone using Forums There will be no glow party, they told me on the phone to bring the cowboy attributes and the caliente party would be somewhat alike but not just glow so the glow attributes can be used there if you would want to.

CleverFirst Posted April 5, 2018 #3710 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The Masquerade sounds SO fun. If I can't wear a mask guess I'll have to touch up on my face painting skills. For my Alaskan cruise. Yep. That just went on the to-do list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MNJones Posted April 5, 2018 #3713 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Many lines, including NCL, use facial recognition in their security video systems. They know who everyone is out and about in the public areas on their video monitoring screens. (Remember they take your photo at check in) Masks would mess this up. Policies could be change, but in this case it is being advertised by NCL. In your example it was a party planned by the group taking a charter. It will be interesting to see if Masquerade sticks around or is cut down the road. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They encourage mask wearing so much that they offered free mask making sessons three days on our sailing. I wonder if NCL will do something similar.

TheDougOut Posted April 6, 2018 #3716 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Hey Doug, could you look into your crystal ball and tell me how many rooms remain for the September 30, 2018 5 day Pacific Coastal cruise? Wish I knew where to look myself and not bug you but alas... Appreciate it bud! No crystal ball... just a guy that enjoys good beer. More specifically - 191 beers, with only 13 of them being top shelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neomedic Posted April 6, 2018 #3718 Share Posted April 6, 2018 The Countdown is On! 35 days until Panama Canal Cruise! It's been a busy and stressful year and we need a break.

Carly and Bruce Cruisers Posted April 6, 2018 #3720 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Regarding Masks. Can't believe that once everyone is checked in onboard and vetted that having a guest with a mask could be a problem. I want security to be vigilant, but be realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted April 6, 2018 #3722 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) First glimpse? I’m probably the only fool to analyze a sign, but it does appear slightly different than the Escape version, where “CRAFT BEER” was narrower on the top line...
