BeachChik Posted May 6 #1352 Share Posted May 6 I have enjoyed reading through your cruise. A few questions, really for anyone that has done the abc islands on this ship, I’m really looking for activities on each island that will work with kids that aren’t snorkeling. My kids will be 11 and 8 when we cruise. And we’ve been on a few ships but it just seems from your pics, this one is crowded everywhere. Were there any quieter spaces or was it always mobbed? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fethiyeden Posted May 7 #1355 Share Posted May 7 Thanks for another great review. Hiring a car was a great idea, you got to see so much & all within your timeframe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the only place I went that didn’t have a ton of cars/people. I didn’t see any near this. lots of lizards I ain’t going in any caves if I’m the only one here… that’ll do it. I don’t know what kind of animal did that. Hopefully a dog….small dog. We originally had the trike tour booked in Aruba. About a week before our cruise we started watching videos and weren't crazy about most of the stops. This looks like one of those places and no thank you, big rocks are not my friend! So we cancelled it. Later I kind of wished we'd done it just so we had seen more of the island but we had a good day anyway. Heading back to where I left off now . . . . 😂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mkcurran Posted May 7 #1357 Share Posted May 7 Thank you for taking me on the cruise I almost booked. Going to have to book an ABC cruise one of these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexygrandma2013 Posted May 7 #1358 Share Posted May 7 I just wanted to say thank you for your review. We did this cruise in October. The way you write your review is just like being there. So, thanks again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sat & watched them cleaning everything around the pool wiped everything down We come back to swim and it’s closed. Weird 3:30pm Pool at the back is open This was a big problem on my cruise as well. I think 3 of the 8 days the main pool was closed because someone kept getting "sick" in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Saint Greg Posted May 8 Author #1360 Share Posted May 8 (edited) I was reading some food comments from my cruise on social media. This one stood out. I don’t know why. I can’t put a finger on it. “I found a fingernail in my food at the smokehouse on day 1 ” Edited May 8 by Saint Greg 2 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eltigre Posted May 8 #1361 Share Posted May 8 Thank you Greg for the review & pics. The Curacao pics reminded me that we did have a better experience there than I had first remembered and I previously had unfortunately said "meh". I have also have to say that it absolutely amazes me that you can cruise, review and remember all the various ships, ports, performers, and everything else you do like the movies & sports, plus answer all our questions. Just boggles my mind! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, my Milestone card on my 50th didn't even have the number 50 on it! Patti said she would put it on with a sharpie! Mine didn't either for my 50Th. I save my cards so I was a bit disappointed. Still cruise was great. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I know all of those people are casino. They say it’s too hard to get a drink in the casino. Which I believe since there is no casino bar. The trick? Find one or two servers the first night in the casino and give them a nice tip. After that you do not have to look for them - they will be looking for YOU! Thoroughly enjoying your review btw. Curacao looks amazing! I am hoping to book ABC on Horizon for this September. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn’t playing in the casino so I don’t know. But having spent a good bit of time in the sports bar I know there was usually one server in the sports bar. And all he did was carry drinks out to the casino. I get the feeling they only had one server for the casino and he got the drinks from the sports bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikayla73 Posted May 13 #1371 Share Posted May 13 Thanks for the great review! I know you mentioned several NCL cruises on the books/in the works, I'm pretty sure I read one NCL review you wrote and and it was on one of the older, smaller ships? I've been looking at NCL out of NO and Galveston on the newer(ish?) ships. Just wondered your take on the newer ones if you've been on more than just the one NCL cruise. I probably just need to spend more time on the NCL boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably just need to spend more time on the NCL boards. I haven’t been on the newer ships yet. I do have Encore and Prima booked in the first three months of next year. So far I’ve only been on Jewel. I’m doing it again this summer. That’s actually my next cruise so I’ll be posting the link in this thread when it comes around. Before you book make sure you buy a cruise first certificate. It’s a free $150. And if you wait they frequently do the $500 ones for $250.

mikayla73 Posted May 14 #1373 Share Posted May 14 (edited) I found that comparison link after I asked the question and read it. Thanks! DH is a veteran too, so 10% off also! Edited May 14 by mikayla73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odie1024 Posted May 14 #1374 Share Posted May 14 @Saint Greg great comparison. I am Sapphire with NCL, cruised once with Princess, a couple with RC, 1 with Celebrity and doing my first Carnival in January on the Jubilee. With NCL just ask your room steward and they can bring you a coffee setup, a robe and ice bucket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do they only do it for milestones? On 4/27/2024 at 6:48 PM, Saint Greg said: True story John wick was holding my ship card to his heart when I asked For a pic. thats why we get his name tag up. It's weird people put names of crew members on their reviews but the minute I do it, I get dinged for it and the post taken down in my review saying we are not allowed to post crew members names. 🤷♀️ On 4/28/2024 at 10:50 AM, Saint Greg said: Picked up my VIFP stuff and made my usual ornament purchase So wait, if you are VIP you get a ship ornament? I haven't even been able to find them on the ships in the shops on my last 3 cruises on Carnival or NCL. (I collect these). It looks like I'm going to have to find a new collection hobby soon since I can't find them. 😞 On 4/28/2024 at 11:42 AM, Saint Greg said: I noticed yesterday there was no card and the lights still worked. Maybe they have that “feature” disabled now. Our Panorama cruise didn't need the cards either. I remember the first night I took the card out and everything stayed on and I went around turning all the lights off. lol On 4/28/2024 at 1:34 PM, Saint Greg said: This couple walking in front of me… guy stops to take a picture. Girl keeps walking. She says honey is that the coffee shop? Then turns and looks back. You’re not honey. I can be on a temporary basis. LOL, I seriously laughed at this. (Shamelessly admitting I've done this before). On 4/28/2024 at 5:59 PM, Saint Greg said: That’s how I leave the room for cleaning. I really love that room! So much space! Loving the review but so much more to catch up on! I can't wait to see the ABC's part! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
