We have been there before and love. Going with friends who have never been. Already had the little Chevy Bolt booked to explore the park.... oh well

Looks like the harbor is closed for the 4th in Bar Harbor. You would have thought this would have been passed along months ago to NCL. I would have picked another date

June 28th - July 5th sailing..... of course they did it after final payment What I don't understand is the new capacity for Bar Harbor was suppose to take effect in 2025. Cruises there for 2024 were Ok to go since they had signed the agreement in 2023

IDK about that. I've done a number of behind the scenes tour and on the last one someone asked about the different burgers. The head of the kitchen looked bewildered, the woman ask aren't their different hamburgers patties for the buffet, pool deck and Haven. He said no, we have one type of burger and we have thousands of them... who knows, maybe some ships get different patties?

Thet don't weigh your bags at least our bags have never been weighed , I few times my 30 inch bag I used to carry my diving gear is close to 60lbs. I tip the porter accordingly or put the bag on the cart myself at the port

I can't imagine how that would work. The food is cooked in front of people. I don't think they have a separate kitchen for cooking take out

These are really good....... https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/galaxy-desserts-almond-croissants/?pkey=s~croissants~37&sbkey=default

My wife and I also arrive early. Our last 3-4 cruises we have driven to the port. Since I normally leave for work at 6am to miss traffic we do the same thing going to the cruise port. In NYC we try to arrive at 9am. I would rather be sitting in a terminal bored out of my mind than sitting in backed up traffic Lol

My wife and I are in 10502 in June. You are free to use the balcony any time. At night your curtains must be drawn so no light shines onto the balcony. Their will either be instructions in the cabin or your butler will tell you what to do

Problem with the little bath towels is the never dry out unless you put a fan on them.

Might want to look at a forward or aft suite on the Gem. Same perks as the Haven with the exception of no use of the Haven courtyard or sundeck

Yup, bring edibles

Add in two trips to Europe, three to Vegas, one to Tampa and Miami. Yup for the price its done really well

We Coolife.... its been banged around for 7? years now and its still holding up will https://amzn.to/4cV6n1r

Yup, we have bought or had spa passes a dozen times. I can count on one hand the times I have seen teens in there. Its a quite place
