The Great Escape - a critical review
debenson0723 replied to wilmingtech's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Enjoying your review but a few corrections for those not familiar...if you have the FAS drink package, you can carry on as many bottles of wine as you want with no corkage fee. It is not limited to 2 anymore. And if you don't have the drink package, you should be charged the corkage fee, no matter where you drink the wine, so you got lucky. Honestly, with so many having the FAS package, I don't think they even bother with the corkage fee anymore. -

There's one a litle closer now at 49th and 7th. -
Online check in so much easier from phone then PC
debenson0723 replied to wolft927's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I have a photo saved on my desktop of my computer and upload it every time, first try. Never had an issue. I prefer using it because it is easier for me to see the screen than on my phone. Glad the app worked for you best. Enjoy your cruise! -
Just click the box that says 'cash' and you can give your credit card info at the port. And last week in Miami, no one even asked to see our bar code or edocs to enter the building or go thru security so I think you will be fine with the incomplete check-in online.

I did a mock booking for this cruise, adding the 10% off coupon (solo cruiser) and then tried to add both of my CN certs. It would only accept one, with the disclaimer that only 2 vouchers could be used on one cruise. It was more cost effective for me to use the 2 CN certs than the 10% off. Still more than I want to pay so will wait until after final payment and reconsider booking, based on promos between now and end of summer and what is left of inventory (not really too picky on where I am on the ship).

Your room steward will not tag your bag either. You do it prior to putting your bag outside the Cabin for the night.
-
You pick up the color coded tags from guest services based on your time of disembarkation. Porters are not NCL employees and would not be on the ship the night before.

Are they the forward facing OV or the ones on deck 5? If you can get a forward facing one, they are much larger than a typical inside. I don't believe any of them have a couch in the older ships. I don't like to be that low on a ship and depending on the location, you will have deck 6 right above you, which could result in noise.

We walked all around that area on embarkation day and it was empty. If you checkin early (9:30) and get an early boarding pass, or are high latitudes level, you should be fine.

We had a difficult time deciding whether to go to Rumours or Beetlejuice. Ended up going to Beetlejuice and loved it. Great energy and hilarious. The GM told us that this sailing is the only one where reservations are not being taken for the main theater shows. No plans to do that permanently. Went to the 10pm showing and everyone got in. Two other changes from the Prima is no Starbucks or Cocos in Indulge so extra seating and the stateroom beds are a little higher, so luggage fits under easier.

Which itinerary would you pick?
debenson0723 replied to Mademoiselle22's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We did Greece the first week of November in 2021 and the weather was perfect. As mentioned above, less crowds, especially in Santorini, was wonderful. -
How does La Cucina compare to Onda?
debenson0723 replied to spookylu's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I am Onda all the way. I have only had what I consider a great meal at La Cucina once and that was on the Jade. The bread at Onda is amazing and there is a white pizza that is crazy good. Food is so objective so you will get many fans of both restaurants.I can't wait to be on the Viva next week and go to Onda. -
I don't think Epic sails in Alaska...better check your booking.
-
They aren't sending the additional emails anymore. But you may have to watch it on your stateroom TV once.

Christmas decorations on NCL ships
debenson0723 replied to Treacher1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Not everyone has large family get togethers for the holidays. -
No, the pass will not be cheaper once onboard and it is very possible it will sell out before you get on board. On occasion (usually a sea day), they will sell a day pass for anywhere from $59-89 for one but there is no guarantee they will have them available. I have never seen a 2 or 3 day pass. The Thermal Spa is a very popular place.
-
The Prima has both A and C in the lamps next to the bed.
-
This was going to be my suggestion also. If you read the first 5 pages or so of this forum, you will probably find the answer to just about everything you want to know. That's what I do if I am sailing a new line and not familiar with how they do things. And if you want information on ports, excursions, etc. there is a place here for that too. Enjoy your cruise!

Viva Live 21 days, Rome to Miami, plus a few days in Rome
debenson0723 replied to JIMESOPUS's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Were you able to book reservations for Beetlejuice on board or is it first come, first served? Enjoy the rest of your cruise!
