Read an article on the carnival site (addressed to all cruise lines) that cruisers would not be allowed to roam free In ports. Also would have to do ship sponsored excursions. Well so much for the ship being empty on port days. Also this may make or break people wanting to cruise.
Another reason to buy the booze package. stay by the pool bar and enjoy the drinks. Every day!

I don't think you get the drink card if you use the discount. You get it when booking a Caesars comped cruise. You can also get it based on your previous NCL play
we have got the drink card every time we have booked. we also never had a cruise comped.

i may be wrong, but in order to get the total rewards price you need to book thru casinos at sea. i had done that for years, but now i have an ncl cruise consultant that applies the discount when i call her to book a cruise. also, unless they have changed the program, you get 20% off a cabin up to a suite or haven. booking a suite or a haven suite gives you 10% off. when y ou go thru casinos at sea, they will ask for your wife's total rewards number
Platinum is 10% off Diamond is 20% off 7 star is 30% off of cruise fares.
Plus you get unlimited drinks in the casino when they are open. You do not have to be playing to get them.

If you like diving or snorkeling ABC’s are the best. I could totally do without the Dominican Republic
everybody has their opinion and rightfully so. we had one of the best shore trips in amber cove. it was a beach day with all your drinks and a great meal provided. it was only 75 bucks with your transportation. the tour only had about 30 people there. so it was a quite day and a refreshing day. you never know what you are going to get on any tour.
we are booked on a b2b on the elation in dec. 2021 and booked this tour on both.

Only right. They were putting the recovery of the whole industry in jeopardy by their actions, and they were warned in advance of the rules.
Rules are only made for everyone but us! That is the thinking for a lot of people.

I enjoy music a lot on cruise ships but when something different is there it can be special. Can't recall the ship but there were three violinists playing electric funky looking violins that would play sets in the atrium and they were awesome.
Carnival has the violinists on their ships. They are always good. We have seen them on several carnival ships, but never on ncl.

lets have a little fun. who is your favorite entertainers on the ncl ships?
I have 3 who i think is very good. the first is Jim Badger. He is a very good piano player and very funny guy. The second is Jamari. Very good guitar player and aslo a very good singer.
the third is the Rock-away duo. they are very good with about every kind of music.

we have been on the dream 4 times and the breeze 1 time. each of these cruises we have been in the cove balcony under the atrium. we like to be close to the stairs and the elevator. after about 11 pm the noise dies down.

The cruise news has been so discouraging lately. Two of our cruises have been canceled. I used to love to watch cruise vloggers, but I can't do it anymore. It's too depressing. I think we are going to wait a while to use our FCC. I don't want to be disappointed again. I was trying to be optimistic, but this last set back was enough. I'm going to concentrate on our land vacations. Stepping back....
we just got back yesterday from navarre, fl. for a week. it is a beautiful place. you could not tell that there was a virus around. the beaches was full everyday and the restraunts was busy. hope everyone stays safe. had a great time. there is nothing wrong with a land vacation. good luck everyone.

If they test everyone before boarding and use one of those tests being created that can catch it within the first 24 hours, then people would only need to wear masks while waiting for their test results. If that is the case, I am fine with it. Anything beyond that really diminishes the enjoyment of a cruise for many people.
Once on board, I would also not have a problem with daily temperature taking. Anyone showing any type of symptoms can get tested in the health area. As long as they stay on top of it, I don't see the virus being a problem. But no to the mask for me. I can barely stand wearing one while shopping.Yes, everybody line up at 10 am and 2 pm to take temperatures. that will be a great cruise!

I think the Coast Guard determines where they are held. The ones outside are kind of close for comfort.
I was told that the safety officer is in charge of this.

Like anyone would actually pay those ridiculous menu prices in the restaurants. Overpriced Arby's at best.
Like they force you to go! Get a life!

Our first cruise was on the carnival holiday in 1991. back then you had the same waiter all 3 meals at the same table.there was no buffet as we know it today. they did have burgers and hot dogs on the lido for the sun people.
you either had early seating or late seating. the room steward would know when to clean your room. they also cleaned the room in the morning and the evening. you could also go to the shops and buy a bottle of booze to take back to your room.
those were the days!

My wife and I were on the Norway the week before the accident. It was one of the best cruises that we have every had. We had a penthouse suite and it was great. back then you could order almost anything from room service. No charge.

Ships are registered out of the US due US laws. Not built here? Can't be registered here. The ships must be built in the US to be flagged US.
Was the Pride of America built here in the U.S? It is flagged US.

my wife and i were also on this cruise. our cabin number was 9403. just 2 doors forward of you. it was very noisy when they let the anchor out at harvest caye.
we also had a great trip. lost a couple of pounds walking from the elevator to our cabin. seemed like a mile walk. lol. great review.
