If they offer Rumors see it! Awesome show as well, but go early! Thanks for sharing.

I have heard many people mentioning how good the Fleetwood Mac tribute is. Just wondering if there is any way to know in advance what sailings might offer it? I think Fleetwood Mac would be a good candidate for doing something semi-permanently like the Beatles in The Cavern Club.

@Red-SolJoe, finally got to try the food hall for breakfast, more of scavenger hunt. Maps are located thru the hall, need to travel to each station to grab something.

Joe, Getaway had the same show in April, this group seems to have more " fun ", the sound is much better in the Prima, just wish they had similar seating.

Jim is the Smaller Pour House the only available venue for acts like that? If so maybe they could do at least one night in the theater?

Are the "Cocktails on Tap" part of the Free at Sea beverage package? 

 

Yes, they are. All beverages up to 15 Dollar are included. In case it's more you pay the difference plus 20% service charge. Espresso Martini is 18 Dollar so you pay 3.60 Dollar extra.

This band just plays in Syd's never seem them in the main theater. I think on the Breakaway there was the band and singers came from one of the shows, might be the same thing everywhere.

Iceland unseasonably cold unfortunately rainy all week.   Some reports of parts of Halifax hit.  Hope all improves.   Thanks, Jim.   Enjoy your great pics

No rain yet, even had some sun. Those who are looking for northern lights may disappointed with the cloud cover

We were in Reykjavik in July for a few days before our NCL Star cruise. We saw these statues in front of Hallgrimskirkja and I couldn't resist myself from smacking the bum of one of them to check they were not live. 😁 ☺️

Both gangways are located on deck#6, with the outside temps around 47 degrees, the Penrose and Belvedere bars where super cold, bartenders had their coats on. Another strange thing about this design.

[JIMESOPUS]

No excursion tomorrow, guess we'll have are walking shoes.

 

Here is something that has never happen before, our excursion today was never discounted, latitudes perk. Inquiring at the desk tonight they said we had to ask for it, never had to before?

Day 2 !!! Meet and Greet at 1100, south of the UK, crossing the Irish Sea. Dinner at Cagney's last night, for us and the camera it was a little dark, was able to sit near a window which helped us, seems strange it's located on deck #6. Basic menu no surprise here. Starting to get a feel for the ship, still somewhat confusing at times on the layout. If you like a balcony and don't mind being watched then deck #9 and #10 are for you. Couple of photo's of the balcony's that have the slide going thru. Crazy light show inside the lift.

Would you mind telling us what cabins in your opinion have those slide chutes? Is it port or starboard side? Thanks in advance.

That’s very interesting because we have to ask for it every time. Never gets applied automatically, whether we book online, via the app, via the kiosk, etc.

We had never asked for it, if we booked it aboard the ship.

 I booked excursions (2) online at my course and got the discount online.

With nothing planned, decided to walk to Old Harbor. We used Harpa as our point of reference, great bathrooms on the second floor and place to warm up some. Had some extra time so we did FlyOver Iceland which was great. Had a hot dog for a quick lunch and walked around central Reykjavik before heading back.

I assume laundry is a send out, or are there self service machines like on some Princess and some HAL ships?

[bobby3334]

Related to above question about laundry, how long does it take to come back if you send out?   Thanks.   Mike

NO self-service laundry facility!

A day or two, generally speaking. Usually nicely folded and in a woven basket.  Sometimes items will be on hangers.
