Jana60 Posted August 31, 2018 #328 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I was browsing the dailies to try to plan what shows we want to see on which nights, and maybe I’m blind..but I’m not see the Million dollar Quartet listed. Is that only on certain nights...or does it play every night? The million dollar quartet is listed in the entertainment section of planning your cruise at NCL‘s website but you have to push show “more entertainment” to see it and then when you tap on it it will bring up the reservation page for you to choose your date and time. The show is offered only on the 20th and 21st at 7:30 PM and 10:15 PM. I’m already signed up to go on the 20th at 10:15 PM.

Cruise1969 Posted September 2, 2018 #331 Share Posted September 2, 2018 For a $7 upcharge to your SDP, you can have an all-you-can-eat seafood bar by going to the Raw Bar Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Bird, This is the most comprehensive review I've seen to date! Thank You! A couple questions related specifically to the Raw Bar and Ocean Blue; 1) Do you know if you need a reservation for the Raw Bar, or can you just walk up to the Ocean Blue podium and request to be seated at the Raw Bar? I presume you just sit at the "Bar" you have pictured. We've been on the Getaway twice before, and I don't think I have ever seen anyone sitting at the Raw Bar....which is why we always just moved on to some other venue. 2) I was noticing all the items pictured appear to be served cold/on ice. Can you order the seafood "steamed" (Lobster, Oysters, Clams)? 3) The menu appears to be a pared-down version of Ocean Blue? 4) Is Ocean Blue an All-You-Can-Eat style as well, or do they limit you to one Appetizer, one Entree type thing?

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 2, 2018 Author #332 Share Posted September 2, 2018 The raw bar is weak up only. Like you, we hardly ever see anyone sitting there. But it was wonderful for an all-you-can-eat with the SDP. I think everything is cold. You could ask. Ocean Blue, like many specialties now days, say 1-1-1. We always just ignore those comments because it is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of the SDP and order what we want (usually an extra app) and have never been charged for it.

Omenbird Posted September 3, 2018 #336 Share Posted September 3, 2018 BirdTravels - thank you SO MUCH for this comprehensive review. You not only answered all my questions but had me happily reading all your posts. It is so special when someone takes the time to do this! I hope you have many wonderful cruises in the future. BTW what is the bird reference in your name? I have two parrots myself and own a rescue in Florida with 450 more! All surrendered, abused or abandoned. Thanks again.

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 4, 2018 Author #338 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Can you bring a 12 pack of Coke on with you before you past security? NCL Policy: Guests are prohibited from bringing any beverages -- including liquor, beer and non-alcoholic drinks such as water, soda and juices -- on board either as carry-on or checked luggage, with the exception of fully sealed and/or corked wine bottles for personal consumption onboard that is subject to screening and a corkage fee (for guests 21 years of age or older). This revised policy brings the company in line with other best practice travel security protocols and reduces the need for individual time consuming screening and package inspection of large volumes of beverages.

mds556 Posted September 7, 2018 #344 Share Posted September 7, 2018 This pictures remind me of the "Behind the Fun Tour" that we did on Carnival last year. Does anyone know if NCL offers something similar? Where can I find a hamburger? Separate lockers for meats, seafoods, chicken, leaf veg, and root veg to avoid cross contamination 300 blocks of ice for buffet carvings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know if NCL offers something similar? NCL Offers a behind the scenes tour on most ships. It can be booked at the Shore Excursion desk or touch screen kiosks. Costs about $80 and includes a photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 14, 2018 Author #348 Share Posted September 14, 2018 What is dress up or not? It is a marketing thing to say "Dress up if you want". Or "dressing up is not needed,,,, you are on vacation not going to a business meeting". Photographers will be out at backdrops throughout the ship on nights 2-6. You can take a lovely portrait, or some fun vacation photos depending on how you are dressed. No stuffy "formal nights". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pizzaeater! Posted September 14, 2018 #349 Share Posted September 14, 2018 While the passengers went missing once they embarked,,, we did see a few crew down on Deck 3 and 4 in the laundry. And we had Harvest Caye to ourselves. Where was everybody when you were at Harvest Caye? Also, Dining Rooms said Dress shorts for men. But shorts listed in Not Permitted for men? No Denim Shorts in MDRs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But shorts listed in Not Permitted for men? No Denim Shorts in MDRs? Shorts are allowed in all main dining rooms for all meals. They are just discouraging sports/swim shorts,,, looking for something a bit more dressy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
