I totally feel your pain, my first name is Anne Marie, I have no middle name. It causes so much confusion. When we refinanced our house I had to sign my name about 20 different ways because the documents listed all the ways my name had been listed legally. I made sure that our kids had middle names when they were born so they didn't go through this.

Breakaway - Manhattan, Savor/Taste for group dinner?
Redsky5292 replied to LGinPA's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
My Mom linked all of our reservations through the group department and dealt with one PCC who she was able to make the reservations through over the phone. -
Breakaway - Manhattan, Savor/Taste for group dinner?
Redsky5292 replied to LGinPA's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
In July, we were on the Breakaway, our group of 17 ate in the Manhattan dining room. My Mom, who made all of the reservations for the group, made a reservation for us on the first night of our cruise and the last night. We sat at two different tables right near each other. -
Best way for group to communicate on board?
Redsky5292 replied to toyotamom's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I've bought the chat feature twice and it really stinks. We all have iPhones and used the iMessage feature when connected to the ships Wifi with no issue. I have also heard that the WhatsAp works but cannot comment on that. -
Thoughts on taking entire pizzas from the buffet
Redsky5292 replied to OrangeCatRamblers's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I'm in Central CT and my nine year old B/G Twins use it all the time. My nieces, who are 10 and 7, and live in MA also use it. Apparently it means suspect... -
We are currently on the Breakaway headed back to New Orleans. We had a FANTASTIC vacation. The staff was amazing, the food was vastly improved from when we were on her in July, there was tons to do and we had a great time. Ask any questions and I will try and answer them. Iโll write a full review soon

I think we are in the same cruise! We are sailing with our friends whose teenage son has a tree nut allergy. My friend registered with the access desk and they told her that he canโt/shouldnโt eat in the buffet because they canโt assure there is no cross contamination. Heโll pick his meals for the next day the night before.

Live from the Bliss March 12-26, 2023: Letters Home to Dad
Redsky5292 replied to YVRteacher's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Wait, you get vacation days as a teacher? Both my husband and I are teachers (in the US) and we CANNOT take time off during the school year to take a vacation. We can only go away during school vacation. I only get two personal days a year. I am so jealous! That being said two weeks from today I will be waiting to board the Breakaway in NO. -
Is e-muster really returning?
Redsky5292 replied to luckycanuck1867's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We sail on the Breakaway out of NO on 4/9. I'll report back! -
Same, it's not listed anywhere on the NCL website so we shall see moving forward.

We checked in for a 4/9 sailing yesterday and had to watch the video. -
All passengers guaranteed to be the on the same flight?
Redsky5292 replied to KKB's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Ahh, okay, thanks for the info, good to know. -

Redsky5292 replied to KKB's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I *think* you can call and link the reservations. I know my Mom was able to link all 8 cabins when the 16 of us went on the Breakaway this past July. It made making reservations easier. I believe she called and was able to do so. I can't answer anything about the flights though as we were all flying in, or driving, from different parts of the country. -
We went on the Breakaway with 16 other people this past July, 8 of us bought the texting app, I should have just set $10 on fire and threw it in the ocean. The app was HORRIBLE to use for texting. About two days into the cruise we figured out that we could iMessage and that is what we did moving forward (we all have iPhones). We are back on the Breakaway April 9th and plan on just using iMessage to communicate between ourselves and the friends that are going. On a side note my Mom had issues using iMessage but I don't think she had her settings correct and wouldn't let us "kids" take a look to see.

Neither my husband or I received the Alaskan coupon. -
Why does the Breakaway seem to have so many bad reviews?
Redsky5292 replied to Mississippian's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We have sailed the Breakaway three times, and her sister ship the Getaway once. We were just on the Breakaway this past July and are going on her again this April out of New Orleans. I take the negative reviews with a grain of salt. There are staff shortages EVERYWHERE. I am a special education teacher and we are having issues staffing our department. On ship we spend a lot of time on deck 8 on the waterfront, our balcony and just walking around. We did experience some supply chain issues in July but they were able to restock when we ported in San Juan. Were there annoyances, of course, but were they bad enough for me to write a negative review, no. The hospitality industry as a whole is struggling, if you go in with the mind set that things won't be exactly has they have been in the past, but hey I am still on vacation, you will have a great time. -
I Donโt Get the RCCL/NCL Pricing Argument
Redsky5292 replied to Jim The Lizard's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
This is so funny, my husband and I were on RCL website last night mock booking for a possible Christmas 2023 cruise. The base price came out cheaper but no drink package and specialty dining. I said to my husband that this is smoke and mirrors, at least with NCL you know what the total price is with the drink and specialty dining when you book the cruise. -
You are correct, oops!

Correct, in order for the SMS messages to go through it has to be iPhone to iPhone. All of us are Apple users so we didn't have an issue.
