Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #127 Share Posted March 31 Oooh the premium thermal suite pass allows me to enjoy unlimited relaxation for 7 days. So if I buy the pass I get 2 extra cruise days thrown in???? Lol 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Greenpea2 Posted March 31 #128 Share Posted March 31 Yay. I am up for more of your shenanigans (I won't be specific as to the TYPE of shenanigans I most look forward to, but ...) Have fun and I am along for the ride, girl! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edspec Posted March 31 #129 Share Posted March 31 Yay, cruise day!!! So sorry about your daughter's flight, what a mess! I never realized about the minimum check-in age for a hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #131 Share Posted March 31 10:45am and it looks like Haven started boarding. So far this has been the fastest/easiest check in for this ship!. Announcement for priority access to board and of course everyone swarms the doors. People are animals! 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #132 Share Posted March 31 Sorry for the absence! This was the easiest, fastest, smoothest check in and boarding we ever had on Bliss! At 10:40 they boarded In transit, followed by Haven, priority access, ambassador, etc. by 10:50am they were on to group 1 and we were onboard and at our muster station by 11am. Unfortunately the wifi wasn’t working and I have only now managed to connect! We grabbed a quick bite at the Local - the fish sandwich and pub hot dog were both great. My cheesecake never came so we just gave up and left! So far I’ve had an Irish coffee and a Dark n Stormy made with Zacapa. DS has had two virgin mudslides. We checked out kids club but it was mobbed so we didn’t register yet. I doubt DS will go anyway as the virtual queue system was useless last time. We then went to the arcade and played a couple rounds of Foosball Rooms are not ready yet so we are chilling in the atrium. It’s pretty packed there! So far all is well with the world! 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #134 Share Posted March 31 Apparently we have 4,876 passengers on this sailing! That’s a whole lot of people… 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #135 Share Posted March 31 Life is pretty much perfect right now! On the pool deck, drink in hand, with my fave cruise band Siglo playing! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #136 Share Posted March 31 10.25% sales tax on drinks while in LA. I remember last cruise, that “free” upgraded drink package cost me around $150 with all the taxes on high end drinks! 😭 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #137 Share Posted March 31 And let the world inconsistencies begin! - no charge for my drinks at the Local - Dark n Stormy with Zacapa at atrium bar - Dark n Stormy with Zacapa at pool bar Same drink. Different tax charge. 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #141 Share Posted March 31 Here’s something new - District Brewhouse is now adult only! Sign at the door Since when? Not a huge deal but definitely didn’t used to be! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #142 Share Posted March 31 We just stopped by our room to drop our bags. The announcement said they were ready but ours sure isn’t yet! We are in an inside this sailing and it’s SO HARD to find. I’m going to have zero chance of making it back after a few more drinks! It’s an odd number room but to get to it you have to go down the even number hallway (?) and then take a separate little hallway off the main hallway. I will take some pics once we get in for real but first impression is “strange”. The bed is made into a queen but I need it as two twins. However, there is a single bunk on one wall so I’m not even sure that’s possible. The closet seems tiny but it’s 5 days so we will be fine! Plan was to chill at District Brewhouse but since DS is now banned, we ended up at Sugarcane! Here is a coconut pineapple mojito with Zacapa. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #143 Share Posted March 31 Sugarcane bar menu I have a question- mojito flight is $20 and you get a 20% discount with the premium package and a 40% discount with the plus package. But why would you pay for the flight when you can get each one free? Am I missing something? 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #146 Share Posted March 31 Tried again to register for kids club but line was still out the door. DS decided he didn’t want to wait and likely wouldn’t go to kids club (or be able to get in) so we left. If my kiddo was younger, I would be bummed about this situation! A family cruise line with no space for all the kids it allows onboard? Luckily mine are both past the point where this matters! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare ceilidh1 Posted March 31 Author #147 Share Posted March 31 I’m guessing the number of kids on this sailing are making NCL double down on policies that are usually not enforced. As well as the Brewhouse thing, I just stopped at the bar in the pool deck to grab some sailaway drinks. I have NEVER allowed my kids to sit at a bar. EVER. But if waiting for a drink and there’s a seat, for that 1 minute then ok. That happened today. DS sat and waited for his drink and the bartender was like “he can’t sit there”. Ok dude. Relax. Give us our drinks and we will be on our way. First bartender of the day that didn’t get a tip! Lol 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was a hotel and decided to research it. Turns out that it’s a nightclub for magicians! DS informed me that this place was in the Ricky, Nicky, Dicky and Dawn show, Also the Sun Princess has a new to Princess dining experience in partnership with Magic Castle. It’s called Spellbound. Pricey but looks interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
