Solo male cruiser  going on NCL Joy - Panama Canal to Miami December 6-16, 2023'

Taken 20 or so cruises with NCL and for the first time have upgraded to Premium Plus Package and Vibe pass for the week.  Is it possible to get for example Johnnie Walker Blue label which is available in the Haven I believe at the Vibe bar? May not be a stocked item, but if I request and tip the bar staff gernerously can they get it?

Thanks an advance for any assistance.

Underwater Adventures was the provider when I dove there in February 2023, March 2022 and January 2022. Great operation. Dive sites were average.

On Prima the week of January 25, they had both in the main Prima theater. Boarded at 10:45v am and went straight there, line was already very long (grab a drink first if so inclined).  All Improv room show were already fully booked. I went through entertainment line first and booked 2 Summer shows and Noise Boys (Price is Right was also available. I then went over to the specialty dining line to adjust my previously made dining reservations around the showtimes which were only known after going through the show line.

Have fun!!

For your Grand Cayman scuba, who did you book with? I will be doing the Prima from Jan 29 to Feb 6 and am planning on diving there but am having difficulty in doing so.

Thinking about ordering these for our Nov. 15 Odyssey Cruise. I assume that if I bring these on the flight down to Fort Lauderdale, that I will need to keep them in my carry on. Anyone have any issues doing so?

I will be on the Oct 29 12 nt NZ Cruise from Sydney. What currency does the casino accept? Are the table limits in US , Aussie or NZ dollars?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.

On the 12 night NZ cruise from Sydney  over Halloween and was wondering what festivities if any take place on he ship?  Just curious from anyone with experience.

THX in advance !!

I've occasionally asked for the children's menu in the main dining room. Good, basic fare available there when the dining room menu is a bit light on attractive items or I'm just tired of the failed attempts at particular dishes. 🙂

 

You can view the dining room menus for your entire sailing in advance; that may help you choose better which meals to join your friends in the MDR. Additionally, with a days notice the main dining room can often be very flexible providing you with something customized for you or with something normally available on other days just not on that day.

Where and How Early can these MDR menus be found?

I thought that they would have to know which menus they are preparing at the embarkation because they would have to provision up for them. Am I correct in this thinking and has anyone been able to see the menus for the entire trip at the start of the cruise?

I am on the Epic (10 day Western Carib) on Jan 23, 2019. Here are my questions"

1) How many different main dining room menus are there and on a 10 day will I see different ones every day or will some be repeated?

2) Is it possible to check out the menus for the entire cruise at the beginning of the cruise? I would like to be able to plan my specialty dining around nights where the Taste, Savor and Manhattan menus don't interest me.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

When choosing a sail away rate does that exclude you from double points if it is a past guest offer as well? I know it excludes all the free at sea and distinct voyage promotions, just wanted to clarify.

Any tips for hot drinks on a cold day for my upcoming Alaska cruise on the BLiss??

Is hot chocolate always available in the buffet or should I bring some packets from home?

What are your favorite adult hot drinks?

Thanks for any assistance.

Would love to see the menu for The Local if it's not inconvenient.

Thanks in Advance!

I will be checking all but my camera and jacket. Do I go through the check in process, get my card, etc. before or after my Intrepid visit? Doing it early may let me avoid some lines.

First time sailing out of NYC. I will be visiting the Intrepid Museum prior to hopping on the NCL Breakaway.

My question is, do I drop luggage, check in and then go to Intrepid or should I drop luggage, go to Intrepid and check in on my return to the terminal?

Thanks in advance for any assistance or recommendations.

Will this also work if I use my Amex to make a payment on an already booked cruise?

If I use my AmEx for my on board account (cruising Breakaway next week) and purchase a couple of cruise next certificates, will this qualify for the point bonus. I wasn't sure if this offer is for new bookings, balance payments only or can be used in the manner I mentioned.

That was how I understood it, but just wanted to be sure.

Thanks to everyone for your help!!!

Happy Cruising!!!!

Taking the Breakaway in a couple of weeks and will be purchasing 2 cruise next certs for the first time.

My question is when the $500 is charged to my account and the $250 OBC is added, will this simply reflect as a $250 account balance for me to pay at the end? I will be putting very little if any on my account during the cruise and just wanted to make sure that the $250 does not need to be spent on the cruise and just offsets the certificate purchase.

Thanks in advance for your replies.

I'm on that one, so must be sold out.

Received the following from NCL on Tuesday morning October 2. If you did not receive it, you may check your contact settings with Norwegian.

This should answer all questions regarding the itinerary for the Epic 7 day from Port Canaveral on January 27, 2018.

Are they posted for the week or just day by day?

Are the MDR Dinner Menus posted anywhere either just before embarkation or once I am on board? Some of the menus

have an entree I really don't want to miss and on other nights the menus don't appeal so much.. I would like to be able to check out menus for the duration once I board so I can decide which nights to plan for one of the dining rooms and which nights to reserve at a specialty venue.

I know there are about a dozen or so menus and it depends entirely on the head chefs choices for that particular cruise.

I am sure I won't go wrong no matter what, I just saw a sample menu, with for example, schnitzel which I absolutely love

and really don't want to miss if it happens to be one of the chef's chosen options.

Thanks in advance and I am excitedly waiting for my first NCL experience!

Docking in ST Thomas but taking an excursion to Tortola (BVI) . Do we need full passport or will passport card or sail and sign card work?

How do you find about these in advance? Are there only signs posted while it's going on? Is it posted on the on board info boards or freestyle dailies? If I ask in advance will I be able to find out what theme and what days?

Have heard some very good things and don't want to miss out.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
