Rare G-DawgMN Posted January 31 Author #102 Share Posted January 31 Went to O’Shehans for breakfast. Ordered the corn beef and hash with some eggs. I’m more a fan of the canned stuff. The plan was to use Victor Bodden to take us to Infinity Bay. We checked in there and watched all the other groups of people get taken for a tour. After an hour we decided to give up since it was almost 9:30 now. As we were waking off, they said our driver was almost here. Told them it had been too long. So we are having a ship day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted January 31 Author #103 Share Posted January 31 I think I missed dinner last night. The MDR menu wasn’t exciting so we though we’d try the buffet. Full disclosure, we rarely do the buffet so I don’t know what’s normal. Only one side was open and it seemed to have somewhat limited selections. The carving station was leg of lamb and the specialty stuff was several types of kabobs (meat only). I settled on some pizza which was once again pretty good. Dessert selections were lame so I had a scoop of ice cream. Apparently I had some Mac and cheese and tried out the lamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most on here do not understand how the tech works. Most of the speed or connectivity issues have to do with the ship not starlink. For instance access points on the ship. If your in a spot on the ship with lack of access points near you your not getting a good signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted January 31 Author #106 Share Posted January 31 Talked to Victor about the tour. He apologized and offered to take us out for free due to the delays. Thanked him for the offer but we stayed onboard. Had lunch in the buffet. Not a bad selection today. Good was hot and fresh. Ate some Indian food along with pizza. Also had some chicken Parmesan. It was more chicken coated in egg. Also had meatballs and meatloaf. Ended the meal with lemon sorbet and pistachio ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minn55441 Posted January 31 #107 Share Posted January 31 Thanks for posting the dailies. We are on the Breakaway next week. By the way, not sure you noticed but it is 56 degrees in Minnesota today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare G-DawgMN Posted February 1 Author #109 Share Posted February 1 (edited) Oof da! 6:40 and it’s a one hour wait for taste and savor. I should have worn pants and taken my chances at the Manhattan room. Someday I’ll understand what the Sapphire priority dining perk means. 🙂 Edited February 1 by KSSS2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted February 1 Author #110 Share Posted February 1 Well maybe being Sapphire helped. It was only 20 minutes of waiting. Waiting for the new 80s Cabaret broadway show thing in the Spiegel Tent. Food pics later. Or tomorrow. Or never if I forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the answer! I couldn't read the tags on the cases so I thought I'd ask. Really loving this review also! Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it’s a 3rd world problem but the once a day service doesn’t work well. Skipped a nap in the room since I assumed he’d come during that time. Holly cow! That's early for cleaning! Or did you mean 1630 or 430pm?😉 Edited February 1 by PaperSniper4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious, as we did for our upcoming and I hope the reservations are honored. Manhattan remains the more "elegant" MDR of the three? That's the only one we used last time, but this next cruise we'll be trying the others also. We booked either 1730/530pm or 1800/6pm for dinner, so I am hoping it won't be too crowded at that early time. We're old farts who eat early obviously!😁 Doug Edited February 1 by PaperSniper4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been very late afternoon every day. We don’t want to go back to the room and nap at all because we don’t want to miss our room getting cleaned.

I forget, is NCL doing just one cleaning a day? Fine with us, we also let our steward know on any ship that's all we need. However, we always request an AM cleaning if that is possible.

However, on some cruise lines I had the opportunity to request AM or PM cabin cleaning; but not both as it used to be for all cruise lines.

Rare G-DawgMN Posted February 1 Author #122 Share Posted February 1 So I surprised my wife with a Villa at Harvest Caye. It’s nice, but the beach overall hasn’t been crowded. The big upside of the villa is the private bathroom and the amazing loungers. Drinks are very good, the food was all right but I was surprised there’s only 4 options for the villas. Did a little snorkeling but the water is pretty murky so you can’t see a whole lot. My highlight was a big orange starfish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted February 2 Author #123 Share Posted February 2 I feel like I’m going off the rails a little but I will try to catch up. Wednesday night we went to the new show in the Spiegel tent. It was a 80s Broadway Caberet. We apparently missed where it said “Broadway”. If you’re into 80’s Broadway I’m sure it’s a fine show. My wife enjoyed the Annie tunes they did at the end but she didn’t like the rest of it. Last night we did the late comedy show. He was very good. Syd Norman’s had Rock the House last night. People started lining up 2 hours prior. I wish they’d have them play in the main theater at least once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted February 2 Author #124 Share Posted February 2 Of course when we got back from Harvest Caye we had to eat again. Stopped at O’Sheenhans for some wings and pretzel bites. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare G-DawgMN Posted February 2 Author #125 Share Posted February 2 Last nights dinner was Cagneys. I enjoyed the shrimp cocktail. They are much larger than when they advertised tiger shrimp. Also did the Onion Soup which was ok and the NY Strip. We shared a chocolate cake with 2 scoops of ice cream for dessert. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
