Not always. A happy surprise when it happens. Yes, exactly. In Alaska last year, we did not get VIP perks. We enjoy them if we get them, but don’t expect to have them. It is dependent on the Hotel Director/General Manager of that ship. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Susan, your hard work is paying off - you look fantastic! good call going to a clinic; I developed an infection on a Panama cruise which almost went septic. Two thousand dollars later....thank you travel insurance! Thank you so much, purpleally! I really appreciate it. - Susan 26 minutes ago, Deb and Jack said: Happy birthday Susan, hope you have a great day!! Thank you, Deb! - Susan 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alreadypacked #105 Posted July 19, 2019 Loving the review as always, Shadowmeboy! I'm following with particular interest as DH and I sailed this ship/itinerary recently on May 11, 2019. It was our first Canada/New England cruise. Had a great time--folks in Canada and New England were very friendly too! Only disappointment was a lot of the food on Dawn. NCL has done much better in that department during our 2016 and 2017 cruises. Hoping they'll get it back together. Great to read about our itinerary/ship from others' perspective. Happy Birthday, Susan!! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I will be able to reply to questions and comments if you have any. Wow, what a game to go to. You were so close to witnessing history. Enjoying your review. Looking forward to the rest. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you tell me which MDR was open for lunch on embarkation day: Aqua or Venetian? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lanceholt #119 Posted July 20, 2019 We also enjoy all your reviews! Wish Los Lobos would come to all NCL's ships as it is just the best imho. We have had some bad experiences at Moderno. We've had two different hotel directors comp us meals there in an effort to get us to give it another try....still didn't like it, lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I mentioned before, this was our first bad experience with Moderno. I love Los Lobos. The food is spectacular, and yes I wish it was on more ships. We had a bad experience at Q on the Bliss. I want to sail again to see if it was a one time issue or systematic. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
