206 days to sail on the Dream.  First time on this ship - but we truly LOVE Carnival!!!  5 Family members going - cove balconies [they are awesome!!!].  Can't wait till it get's here!!!😍

We have been twice (all adults) and had a blast.  Age range 45 - 80+; but you would have thought we were kids with the smiles on our faces throughout the whole breakfast.  

We did learn the first time - you can not sign up for this before the cruise, but again, there is a table on the Lido deck.  🙂  Have fun and enjoy!!!! 😄

Sometimes I read posts and just laugh. I believe (and Lord knows I could be wrong) the original intention of this thread was to be able to read "positive" thoughts... I think it's funny how people have to be critical. So... with that said... may I post a question? Please tell me what YOU enjoy about cruising so much?

I personally love the ability to get away from life and be in the middle of a body of water relaxing with family. :) The fact that most everything is paid for before I start makes my time even more relaxing!! :) :)

I need to re-name this "I know this is my fault and I am no longer upset with anyone so please stop posting snide remarks as they are not helpful and rude."

Good morning - based on all the posts and your replies - it appears that you are going to "give the cove balcony a shot". Good for you!!! We (mom, sis and I) actually booked a cove balcony (on purpose) to see how they were and because - the price was right. Personally - we all LOVED the cove. Being so close to the water - sometimes even feeling the splash was fantastic. I hope you go with an open mind and enjoy the fact that you are cruising. :cool: (things could be worse... you could NOT be cruising... because from your posts it sounds like you enjoy cruising!!!) :cool:

Hope you and your family have an AWESOME time!!!!;)

Thanks so much for the feedback. I am so excited about another cruise. As previously mentioned - we have sailed RCL and Carnival and had fantastic times! I expect to have a fantastic time again! Wanted to give another cruise line a try - no poor comments about prior cruises - just looking to expand our horizons :)

It's a cruise - how can it be bad - right??? Looking forward to another experience to add to my memory bank.

Thanks again!!!!:rolleyes:

Hi all - We are sailing on Norwegian Jade out of Houston on November 28, 2015. We have never sailed NCL and I had a few questions.

1. Very interested in the Spa package, after researching the NCL website I noticed there are 2 spas. Does anyone know the difference and what the spa package costs? (We are booked in a balcony - not Haven).

2. Does the Jade have an outside movie screen? If so - do you know where we would find the movies that will be played?

3. Overall - what is your opinion of NCL and the Jade? We have cruised Carnival and Royal Caribbean in the past.

Knowing it's a cruise - we are so looking forward to kicking back and relaxing!!! :D

Thanks for your help!!!
