If you are talking about day 3 the sea day, she hasn't posted day 4 Roatan yet.

Person after my own heart... I don't like seafood, but the DH does. Hopefully we'll be able to find a place that has good burgers as well as good seafood.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but can the taxi's carry 4 adults plus luggage? Also, is the cost higher? Thanks in advance.

My May 2024 cruise is showing correctly.

The Jewel Haven does not have a Haven restaurant or bar. So on that class of ship you are paying extra for the pool and coutyard....

On the Jewel the cigar lounge is next to Le Bistro, and in the same area as the Champagne & Martini bars. Although all 3 bars are next to each other. It gets pretty crowded in there at times according to the DH. As far as pricing goes, DH says that they are more expensive than what you would probably pay at home. He is like @Arrow34 where he tends to smore 1-3 a day while on vacation so he brings a lot with him as well.

We were on in March and yes the cigar lounge is still open. As far as drink service goes, I think it depends on how busy the bars are. I saw waiters taking drinks in there, but I don't know if it was real consistent. Enjoy your cruise.

I had the same thing happen. Thought it was just me...

The only time we booked through the cruise line, our return flight connected through ATL and they had an ice storm so we got delayed in ATL for 3 days. Delta was in no hurry to get us out, and I truly believe it was because we were a third-party booking, cheapest fare, bottom of the barrel. We had to pay for our own hotel because it was a weather delay and therefore they weren't responsible. I understand that it wasn't the airlines fault, but I think if I would have paid a higher fare they would have been more receptive to get us out in a more timely manner. They wouldn't even give us our checked bags. Unfortunately we didn't have insurance at the time, so we were out of pocket for everything.

Thanks for the info, that's good to know. Every time I have compared it has been double what I would have paid booking direct.

Also, NCL charges per person not per room so expect to pay double what you would pay booking the hotel directly.

What a cutie!! So sorry for your loss. He will be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge.

Thank you everyone. I appreciate the assistance.

No, I'm sorry I don't. I only stopped by there a couple of times for tea. I'm not really a big starbucks person as I don't drink coffee.

I was just on the Jewel in March, and they have the Atrium Cafe that serves Starbucks. It's not a full blown Starbucks as on some of the other ships.

We are going to be sailing on the NCL Jewel, and according to the portvancouver.com cruise ship schedule it shows the East Berth. Is that actually at Canada Place? Looking to stay at the Pan Pacific Hotel, but if the Jewel won't actually be at that location then maybe I need to keep looking. I did do a Google search, and it showed Ballantyne Pier. I understand that it is subject to change, so any insights would be helpful.

A little off topic, but is it better to go beginning of the season or towards end of the season? Looking at end of August and heard that there won't be as many bugs...

They will take bids on sold out categories in case of cancellations.

You need to cancel your bids, because if you don't they may select you for one of those cabins and then automatically charge you and create a mess. When you go into your account on NCL.com you should have a banner that looks like this: It may or may not show you your new cabin info and new upgrade possibilities, but you should have the option to cancel out your old bids. Good luck.

I added it to my calendar, and will try my best to get it for you.

We will be on the Jewel starting the 12th. If you don't get an answer before then, ping me a reminder and I will check for you.

No apologies needed. We plan to walk around and see it from all sides. Thank you for all your insight.

Looks like what our view should look like on the Jewel next month. So looking forward to it.

Your belongings will stay in your cabin as long as you are in the same cabin. As far as having to get off then on again, that varies and I'm not sure if it is because of immigration or what. I have heard some people have been cleared on the ship and have stayed on, I have seen where people get off the ship and are taken to a special seating area inside the terminal, then they are boarded before anyone else, and then we had our experience in San Pedro that was a complete cluster. They moved us to different areas on the ship waiting to take us off the ship. Walked us the length of the ship (on the Bliss) to disembark only to have to walk back the length of the ship to go into the building to clear immigration. Then walked us all the way down to the other end of the pier to go back through security where the passengers that were getting on the ship for the first time were going through, then to an area inside the terminal to wait to re-board. It was an awful experience. I hope you have an easier one. I had a carton of the NCL water with me and they made me throw it out before they would allow me back through security.

We are staying at the Radisson the night before our cruise next month. I haven't touched base with them recently, but when I booked they said they did offer transportation to the port, so I would assume they would also do it to the convention center instead.
