All three dining rooms will have the same menu each night.

On our 2019 Escape cruise, my daughter ate a vegan diet. Every afternoon she was told to go to the restaurant we were dining at that evening and discuss dinner options for her.

The Encore had chocolate milk last month in the buffet.

On the Encore last month, I was able to book Choir of Men at 21 days out.

We did not have a bathtub in our CBS last month on the Encore and hope not to have one this June on the Joy.

Thank you!

My husband and son had the filet with breakfast on the Epic last year a few times. We (I) just had to put in the request the night before.

I meant the whole bar which encompasses both sides. Both my husband and I thought the Vibe was the most crowded we have ever seen. Granted, this was the first time that we were in a Vibe with the extra top deck. However, for us, a well-attended Vibe is better than no Vibe.

Both sides were open on the Encore two weeks ago but I do not remember how many bartenders there were daily. Vibe was hopping but the service was terrific as usual.

We thought the same thing when we were on the Encore two weeks ago.

Your wife will be even more excited when she sees the closet in person.

Looking forward to following along. The Joy HI is my absolute favorite. I could not believe the size of the closet.

Glad I could help with your list! We have not been on the Bliss, but thought the Beatles show was much better on the Joy than the Beatles shows we saw on the Epic and Encore. We also thought Elements was very good and are looking forward to our extended family seeing it on our June Joy cruise.

Do you and your husband like the Beatles? The Beatles show on the Joy, to us, is great. My husband is not a Beatles fan, but I insisted we go the first time in the Joy and he enjoyed the show so much, we had to see their other shows in the Cavern.

Not sure if this is where @DrUrsulawent but we had our breakfast at the Soggy Dollar Bar. I just had a bagel but my husband had a breakfast bowl which he said was very good.

Thank you. This is the most up to date information I have read so far. I will continue to check daily.

The cabanas come with two Vibe passes. You can only share your cabana with other Vibe passengers.

Tortola. It is typical if the ship arrives at 6:45 a.m. and all aboard is 2:00 p.m. There were a lot of excursions offered for very early morning. Those with an early excursion had to meet in the theater at 6:45 a.m. I am just saying it would of been nice to order room service for 6:00 a.m. instead of going to the buffet.

As we are up every workday at 4:45 a.m., we tend to get up early on vacation. However, we are also on the mindset we would rather partake in our vacation then spend extra hours sleeping in. There were also roughly a couple hundred people in the Theater that morning waiting for their excursion so we were by far not the only ones up.

No

Our Plan B: We are huge fans of the British TV show Death in Paradise. The show is filmed in Guadeloupe and the filming sights are all open to the public for the most part. We plan to stay at the hotel where the crew stays and murders have happened (on the show). Getting there, we are flying into Dominica for a few days, then taking a ferry over to Guadeloupe for a few more days. We will be spending a lot of time relaxing on the beautiful beaches. Did you replace your Encore cruise with anything else?

While I would normally agree, we had to meet for our excursion at 6:45 a.m. and we do like some time after breakfast to use our cabin bathroom.

Having done five cruises on NCL since the restart, we definitely do see the recent changes. Food quality/choices at the buffet and nighttime entertainment leading the way. We tried to place an early room service order for one morning for breakfast and was told the earliest it can be delivered is at 6:30 a.m. which was too late for us. The MDR was opening at 8:00 a.m., buffet at 7:00 a.m. and the Local at 6:00 a.m. I do not remember in all of our previous cruises as not having at least two options. We also wished you were still able to reserve the comedy shows as you used to be able to. On the Encore recently, we had to get to the venue way too early just to get the last two seats. As I mentioned in another thread, while we still love NCL, we love NCL a little less now.

Jamie, welcome back to the NCL boards! Yes, you will have four specialty dining credits in total as platinum. There is now a thermal spa on the Joy. We were on the Encore two weeks back and late time snacks were hard to come by as the buffet does now close down early with no more evening late night snacks. We also noticed a difference in the food options available in the Buffett since our last two cruises this past August and March We are looking forward to our Joy Bermuda cruise this June though as overall, we are still happy with the NCL product.
