All you need is a toddler or preschooler to run out there and get hit with a stick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard product onboard feels cheap and the food ingredients at the buffet / MDR is cheapest ingredients they can find. You really do get what you pay for. I am starting to feel the same way after reading yours and several other Royal Caribbean cruise reviews. I’m going on an NCL cruise in a few weeks, but I’m pretty sure it will be my last. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I did it but one and done! I was a little lightheaded when I got out but the crew was right there to help. I think the flashing lights were the culprit🤪 thanks for sharing your experience on Abyss. I think I will stay a chicken and pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m going on an NCL cruise in a few weeks, but I’m pretty sure it will be my last. I am all in for new experiences but their gimmicky marketing with “free at seas” is not worth it. The drink package gets me all the time, by the time you add in all the gratuities they charge for the free drink package you are almost there with RCL’s beverage package that you buy yourself and that includes the fresh juice/specialty coffee (non Starbucks)/ bottled water and much better wine selection. You don’t get that with NCL’s “free” drink package. At dinner time you usually find Basa / tilapia fish that I would not buy at home because it is not good for you which is why it is so cheap. Forget salmon at the buffet or any type of expensive cuts of beef. Is it a nice cruise on NCL? Yeah sure! The staff is great and gracious and it’s a cruise but after you add in all the money you have spent on the free at sea, compare that to Royal, I am going on a Royal ship 😂. But if NCL offers an unique itinerary that fits my schedule I will still cruise with them. I am not going to cruise NCL just because of the free at sea stuff they throw at me! It’s not worth it and I usually decline the drink package any way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested to hear back from the 3/11 Wonder Cruisers what they think of the parade and more importantly if the lobster lunch is still happening at Windjammer!! 🦞 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BennyBrun Posted March 10, 2022 Author #807 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Day 7 Parade Practice Finally they all became friends … the end… time for me to get to CoCoCay… I wonder if they will be wearing costumes? They cast is from the sports department, theater production, aqua theater performers and ice skaters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no option to do both so I am soliciting feedback / opinions! I want to see both so it’s hard to pick one! Though you can't bath in the Roman spa there is a modern thermal spa in Bath with a lovely hot roof top pool It's a lovely city, difficult to decide. More to see in Bath but Stonehenge is so iconic https://mobile.thermaebathspa.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which amazes me that NCL serves that but not salmon or sole or cod option at complimentary dinning. Even on Carnival you can always have salmon.

The pre-cruise stay in London with a private tour company we got to see Windsor Castle (2 weeks before Harry and Megan's wedding), Stonehenge, Salisbury Cathedral (houses Magna Carta) and Bath all in 1 day (very long day but it can be done). Enjoying your cruise and pictures. Hope to follow you on another cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
