We are 103 days out from a 9 day sailing in the Mediterranean and booked in a balcony room. When should I be able to make MDR Reservations? It keeps telling me to check back at a later date or once onboard.

What time should we plan to arrive at the Civitavecchia Port for our July cruise on the NCL Escape?

I am also curious as to the replies you will receive regarding your post. Our family was on the Escape in 2016 for our very first cruise with our kids in tow, they were 6 & 8 at the time and we all loved the ship. We sailed on the Bliss 2 years later but have since tried other lines. We will be back on the Escape in the Mediterranean for 9 days this coming July and I'm curious as to why some of the most recent reviews have been negative.

What time can we expect to be off the ship upon arrival back to Civitavecchia on the Escape in July?

Why are the excursions for Barcelona still not showing up for our July cruise on the Escape? I have read that Barcelona is limiting the # of ships. Any information would be appreciated.

We will be on an overnight stop in Livorno/Pisa for a Mediterranean cruise on the Escape in July. Does NCL give a time we must be back onboard for the first night in that port/stop if we are there the entire next day?

I appreciate all of the replies here. I was asking more so that I know where I should book a hotel based on where the cruise ends up docking for disembarkation - the Brooklyn or Manhattan areas? If it ends up in Brooklyn, the Red Hook ferry information is helpful.

Yes, the itinerary visits the ABC islands. This itinerary is legal. There are many sailings with similar itineraries.

We are booked on a 2025 Carribean Islander itinerary beginning in Ft. Lauderdale and ending in New York. The itinerary states the Enchanted Princess will complete the voyage at either the Brooklyn or Manhattan port. When can we expect to learn which one of the two it will be?

If booking 4 of us in a room, 2 adults and our 2 children ages 17 and 15, just wondering if the Have It All Early Booking Bonus would apply to all four of us in the room, specifically for the beverages? Would they have their juices, soda, non alcoholic drinks included with this offer? What are the limits to the alcoholic drinks for the 2 adults?

Does anyone know if the new menus will be used for our August 13th cruise on the Mardi Gras? I read they'll debut in August, just wondering if we had specific dates?

Thank you for sharing this.

We have sailed with Carnival, NCL and Royal all in the past 10 years, twice each line. Our children, ages 13 and 15 enjoyed each and every sailing, but our kids feel Carnival does have the "fun" factor advantage. The cruise directors are more involved and out there with the guests. The crew went out of their way to interact, even the cleaning crew on the pool deck during our most recent Carnival Cruise in December. Our kids enjoyed the conversations and connections made.

Can anyone please share what the available lunch options are for embarkation day on the Mardi Gras?

Can you tell me which nights will be formal nights on a Mardi Gras 6 day Caribbean cruise? Thanks
