I'll be following along! I was just on the Jewel and loved it. I have my eye on the Japan to Alaska cruise in April 2024 (but the website won't let me book anything...). Very curious to hear how you like the ports in Japan and what y'all get up to. Enjoy!

No one walked around naked. Everyone either walked around in a towel (or robe) or bathing suit

Just got back from the Norwegian Jewel. That class of ship still has the best setup at sea for a spa. It was a perfect place to see the glaciers and Alaskan scenery without having to go into the cold/rain or battling crowds. It was well-used all week, but never too crowded.

Sounds good, can't go wrong with a beer and a brothel..well, I guess you can...

Was the sauna well-used? I have 12 days on the Venezia next month.

Where did you buy the brothel tour? Inside Red Onion? I have nothing planned for Skagway and this sounds interesting.

Glad you're finally onboard. How was the train ride overall? Did you get stuck with weirdos at your table? Sitting at a table with strangers for 4 hours sounds like my personal hell.

Awesome pictures! I'm doing the helicopter tour and glacier trek in Juneau and this is getting me excited for that.

Really looking forward to your review. I'm doing the same cruise 2 weeks after you. I'm loyal to NCL and Carnival most. I've always thought that NCL takes care of solos well. When I was on the Jewel in April, Evangeline and Benedict were the best bartenders. Not sure which bar they're currently at, but definitely look for the. I know Evangeline is still onboard.

For excursions, I only have a river tubing excursion for Dominica booked and I know I'll be taking a taxi to Orient Beach on St Maarten. For Barbados, there's an interesting cocktail making class at the Mount Gay Rum Factory that I'm considering. May do a catamaran cruise in St. Lucia. Will probably just walk over to Charlotte Amalie in St. Thomas. Been there soooooo many times haha

how weird! On Spirit there is a curtain around the door that can be closed. The locker room attendant always made sure the curtain was closed around the door.

I love reading your reviews so much because I feel like we have similar senses of humor. Love all your pictures and observations! Thanks for taking the time to put these together.

I had a GREAT time on the Spirit last year. Really nice layout. Does Pride have the mirrored locker doors like Spirit?

Thanks for a great review, Party P! Looking forward to the next one!

Hey man, nice watch you got there

Wiklund vs Wiklund! I saw them on the Valor last year and really enjoyed their sets.

Was just asking for a bit more information and documentation. Chill out dude.

Eh, it kinda worked. I was in Australia for work, and I loved Sydney! I have my eye on the Luminosa for February 2025. For anyone traveling to Sydney and staying around Circular Quay/The Rocks, you can also take the train straight from the airport and get off at the Circular Quay stop. You don't need to buy a train card and can just tap your credit card when you enter and exit. Also worked on the ferry to Taronga Zoo. F26DE1C9-1CF8-4ED0-A468-3B17C8D153EB.heic

I left Sydney on the 21st and walked down to Circular Quay really early to get pictures of the Splendor. Going to upload a picture and see if it works... E1AF36B5-D4EF-410D-ABBA-1841D90FE551_1_201_a.heic

Could you try and post a picture of where it says that? Very big change for the sky

It's always the matching t-shirt families. ALWAYS.

that's surprising. How much is it and how are they enforcing it? It's not really connected to the spa IIRC.

Also, Chili's chips and salsa is good, but that skillet queso...as the kids say...SLAPS.

Hell yeah! I'm so excited to follow along with this live review and make snarky/inappropriate comments.

Appreciate your insights! I work a lot with CBP and my buddy used to work the cruise port and said all the weird s*** comes off the Carnival ships haha. Wonder if I've emailed with you before...
