I checked the DNV database and I could not find any mention of her going into drydock in June. I'll admit, that I am not quite sure what I'm looking at. I'm set to sail on her the first week of June, so this information is kind of relevant to me. Can you post a link or cut and paste where you see this information?

Where did you get this information? I can't find it and would appreciate a link to the post or article.

H Mart? We're boarding the POA.

We're renting through Turo and I haven't found anything yet, but where would you all recommend dropping off the car at or near the port. I just need a parking lot, but I have heard that at the pier is not an option.

We were in the Haven on the Epic back in 2022 for a European Cruise and it didn't bother me but it is commented on with increasing frequency and I have never heard anyone give a reason.

I looked but couldn't find anything. Anyone ever been or seen a reason why the Haven Restaurant menu remains static while the MDR changes? It would seem to me that of any restaurant on the ship, the Haven would be the one to have a rotating menu fleetwide.

Thinking back, I never paid sales tax while in Miami (2023) or Barcelona (2022)

1. We used the NCL transfer and we were in the Haven, so we basically walked right on. However, they longest line to get through security but the line wasn't that long. After boarding, we went back down (there are shops on your way to the ship) to purchase a couple of things and the lines were moving fast. 2. It can depend on how closely they are checking. My MIL has platinum status and we just boarded with her and no one said a word. I think it really depends on how big your group is and just keeping your head down. All the while being prepared for the possibility that they may make your sister wait. 3. There is priority access and it is for embarkation, disembarkation at various ports and tender access. It has nothing to do with getting back on board when you return from port. At least that's how I understand it.

So do you have any company that you'd recommend?

Looking for recommendations for a helicopter tour in Kauai. Who provided the best experience for the best price? Not sure what questions to ask because I've never done one before.

Anyone ever used them?

We'll skip Chinese, Tai and Vietnamese, most everything else would be ok. Not concerned about budget, but not looking to spend $500/person though. As for location, give me the entire island, as I have no clue where we will be, plus we're willing to travel and we're used to it living in Southern California.

We'll be on the POA in June and my wife and I are looking for a nice, maybe a bit romantic restaurant for dinner on Maui. We already have plans to go to Mama's Fish house for lunch, so we're looking for somewhere else. Thanks!

We stayed in the Haven on the Epic and it was great. My wife got injured on an excursion and the concierge reworked our excursions, cancelled one for my wife (too much walking on a sprained ankle) and at the restaurant they helped prop her foot up and took great care of her. We loved Posh and the bartenders there and never had an issue. The bar in the Haven lounge was one spot we wish we spent more time at and we regret it. We discovered on the last night, that this was where the party was all week. Back to the Haven restaurant. The service was hit and miss. Some times, they were johnny on the spot and at other times, they acted like they could care less we were there. It was frustrating. We were on the Epic in September 2022 for a Mediterranean cruise. The pool was open and did not close.

For those who have been on the POA recently. Did you feel that you needed to upgrade to the unlimited WIFI or was being in US waters and at US ports enough? I realize that there are times where reception will suck like in between ports, but how was reception on port days?
