Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. Love Aqua class. Blu is lovely. However on the M class ships the Persian gardens are not that great. Did not even use when we were on the Infinity in September. Much better on the S class. I would not spend more than $50 per day to be in Aqua on a M class ship.
  2. Jaime……Love your live postings.(or as live as you can get😉) Will be following along. Breakaway is my favourite NCL ship so far.
  3. Personally does not entice me. Room does not look that much different except for size than a club balcony. No shade outside is a no go for me.
  4. At least your NCL cruise sailed. We flew in for our NCL cruise on September 29th on the 24th. Ian was not even a named hurricane at this point. On the evening of the 27th we find out that NCL has completely cancelled the cruise. Are we disappointed-yes Are we surprised- no…in the matter of 48 hours this storm is now a cat 5 hurricane barreling straight at where we are. We can’t even leave as the airports are closed. Go into plan B mode and stock up the hotel room. Ride out the hurricane and thankfully all is okay. Still cannot change our flight home so we drove down to Port Everglades and we’re able to get on a cruise that left on the weekend. Different cruise company, no research, no plans, did not even look at the ports we were sailing to. Just happy to be okay…able to salvage a week of our vacation and count our blessings. Not at all what we had planned for but we rolled with Mother Nature and still had a great time together. We will never forget our 30th anniversary💕
  5. Dress code has certainly relaxed but going into Blu last night on the Infinity the hostess quietly informed the group standing behind us in line that the men could not enter in shorts for dinner. So I guess it is hit or miss which ship is enforcing the dress code.
  6. Currently on the Infinity and we are rumoured to have just over 1400 passengers on board. So about 2/3 full. Ship feels empty. I am guessing that many inside and O/V rooms are empty as Retreat, Aquaclass and Concierge were listed as sold out. Crew is working extremely hard and you can tell the crew numbers are not what they used to be. Service would be strained if the ship was at 100% capacity.
  7. 2-3 a day The flash sale has just been extended 😂😂 And I am currently onboard the Infinity 😉
  8. Can’t complain since we only booked this cruise 48 hrs ago for a cruise that was cancelled due to hurricane Ian. I will just be happy to be bobbing on the sea with work unable to connect with me. I honestly did not know where we were even sailing when I booked it.🤣🤣
  9. Since we fly in tomorrow as we are going to WDW before the cruise we will just adjust our hotel and car rental if needed. We cruised after a hurricane hit Miami one year and the ship departed on time. Amazed me as we had been quarantined to our hotel for the two days prior. No power, flooded lobby with trees all over the place.
  10. We normally cruise in September and have sailed before and during hurricanes. Before we were stuck in an Embassy Suites after landing at the airport. Miami was flooded with no power in places. However, we sailed on schedule and made it to all our ports of call. While already at sea we have had cruises diverted to a different port if possible but most have usually turned into an extra day at sea. Since we do not sail the Caribbean for the ports of call in September we are good with the ship going where it needs to in order to avoid bad weather.
  11. Thank you for all your posts over your cruise. we shall be enjoying the Getaway in just a couple weeks. The only thing I noticed is Syd Norman’s had no times in the dailies. Was it not opened in the evenings?
  12. I know to add streaming to the plus package was an extra $10 per day. Making it an additional $59 per day per person.
  13. Following along. we are booked for the end of September. we love the Breakaway so hoping the Getaway being a sister ship will be very similar. If possible could you see if the spa has day pass pricing. I really do not want to purchase a pass for the entire cruise.
  14. Totally made sense for us to add The Free at Sea Plus promo to our booking. We always upgrade the beverage package, we both need internet while away from from work and we eat in the specialty restaurants nearly every night. The extra shore excursions credit was a bonus and I booked a couple of beach days that did not go over the credit limit. You need to phone to have this added to your booking (FASUP) as it is a promo and not an upgrade.
