Thank you for all of these picture and all the information! Helping us really plan! For the mini golf, it looks just like a putting green is the right? How many holes? Any cost? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonShen Posted April 29, 2019 #605 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Dear Doug, Could you please spend a few minutes to check out the Splash Acadamy (on Deck 5)? The deck plan indicates that it's much smaller than that on the Bliss. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howl is a lot of fun, the included ropes course is amazing to experience high atop a ship, and the night parties at Spice are fantastic. And only the Escape has the great grotto. I'm going to miss that on the Encore in Feb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDougOut Posted April 29, 2019 #613 Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) The best part of Ocean Blue... 1) the bread things 2) the chocolate dessert 3) the waiter attempting to take my empty dessert plate only to be told I’m not done, and then having to apologize to other patrons that he shouted “do you want to lick it” too loud. We cried. I still don’t get this restaurant’s SDP upcharge. Edited April 29, 2019 by TheDougOut 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are supposed to go on here in December to Mexican Riviera. It appears the actual square footage of the two pools is the same as other ships (Breakaway onward)... but they lack the surrounding splash area that would make them appear bigger. The pools are in awkward & tucked-away areas. If they’re an important part of cruising for you, I’m not sure if any BA/BA+ ship is ideal. Joy would probably be the worse of them all. If you just need lounging NEAR a pool, Joy may be alright with the large & open deck areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted April 29, 2019 #622 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Just found this photo from Spice last night... showing the wall lighting within the tent & over the large water feature. For how well NCL has leveraged creative lighting on new ships & refurbs... this looked a bit motel-ish cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ute_fan Posted April 29, 2019 #623 Share Posted April 29, 2019 2 hours ago, TheDougOut said: Yep... Thanks! We're on a BD in June. Do you know if there are any USB ports in the room, and how many electrical outlets there were? I know on the older ships we always had to pack a power strip to charge cameras, phones, etc. Wondering if that applies on the newer ships.

I thought they did not - I thought i read somewhere. Also - just to point out - in the newly released NCL brochure book that you can download - the map of the Joy has an error. It lists the CC's as MX's. So they list MX twice. Once teal-ish and once Peach-ish. All the room levels is one of things I hate about NCL. TOO complicated! Did you ever find out if there was a cookie shop or something? There used to be a Godiva store when in China... but I suspected it got taken out. What's the ice cream situation like?
