Rare laudergayle Posted February 8 #601 Share Posted February 8 I, myself, cannot wait to be bombarded with CN phone calls, Park West flyers, Effy jewelry deals, port shopping information, reminders to change the time, apologies for missing Jamaica (for our convenience), notices of nightly entertainment changes. 95 more days. 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah…crew has been fairly diligent about removing “saved” paraphernalia on the pool chairs. Having a birds eye view from my balcony above, I see people put their towels, books, bags on the chairs early. By the time I have coffee and a shower, I see crew coming by to remove said items 45 minutes later! Edited February 8 by graphicguy 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom in ... for a closer look, 5 out of 6 "vacant" ones have a NCL blue towels placed on it, marked to signal it's been taken/reserved, however. Possibly one vacant but the view is obstructed by the window pillar. Crew members are supposed to monitor and remove those towels after 30+ minutes if the pax hasn't return to claim the space ... apparently, was "enforced" while we're eating & watching inside from the Food Hall last November. But, it certainly isn't anywhere packed & overcrowding, unlike the main pool & hot tubs "upstairs" for its convenience. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL puts rolled up blue towels on every chair in the morning so if they are not unraveled, they are are open loungers. This is how it starts out.

Remember when I said if I had known your info, I would have sent flowers, champagne and a stripper? I actually ordered the cake and the stripper was supposed to jump out of it. But considering the size of the cake, the stripper would have to be from the Elton John song, "Tiny Dancer". 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare graphicguy Posted February 8 Author #616 Share Posted February 8 Captain relayed the experience of picking up refugees out adrift last week. They had been adrift since December….6 men, 2 women (both pregnant)…all in poor health, malnourished and dehydrated!. They were treated by on board Medical staff and are still in the Hospital in Mexico. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare graphicguy Posted February 8 Author #617 Share Posted February 8 Asked the Captain about conflicting guest capacity. He said NCL adjusted the crew to guest ratio in favor of the guests. So, more crew vs adding more guests! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Sugar Magnolia Posted February 8 #618 Share Posted February 8 🤩 WOW that looks way more special than the usual BTS tour for Platinum+ folks. I might have to whine and post during my next cruise but I hesitate as I don't want @schmoopie17 stalking me or sending strippers to my room. 2 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said NCL adjusted the crew to guest ratio in favor of the guests ... more crew vs adding more guests! Since you didn't asked, someone from NCL has been "reading" this live CC posts and figured out, a bridge tour would be a nice treat for you since the comp'd tour was full (it's not mind reading with their crystal ball) as I've suggested earlier, with a MSRP of $139 to $149 or whatever. Nice & kudo 👍 As for the official count, you might not realized that the numbers were posted on the bridge and in one of your photos above - zoom in & up close ... it read - 3,332 pax and 1,461 crew for a total of 4,793 souls on this sailing. Putting the ship at 107% above double occupancies for pax or about 85% of max pax/lifeboat capacity ... with almost 570 berth or bedding for additional pax (children, teens ... and toddlers, etc.) What's not showing is whether they have any and number of "service animals" onboard ... something the ship's accessible officers do know & have on hand. Isn't it time for afternoon high tea in the Haven lounge and where is dinner tonight ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could read that either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
