I have no idea where you are seeing that on the daily.

It says "play a little mini golf" under the heading "Staying on the ship today?"

Wow!!! God's earth unspoiled. Beautiful pictures!

I think that’s a reflection in the mirror - not 2 more bottles!

You can see the two missing water bottles behind the champagne.

Full disclosure... I boarded the ship with one self-imposed requirement, and that was to behave on night 1 because of our Meet & Greet responsibilities on day 2. Fail.

 

I don’t recall what was posted and what wasn’t... but boys behaved badly last night and I woke up to chipper Sue running off to fetch coffee while I attempted to peel the upper and lower sections of my mouth apart.

 

Speaking of which, I pre-ordered 24-liters of water in an attempt to “prevent hangovers”. If I have water in my cabin, I’ll drink it out of self-preservation. Well, my water never arrived, so I blame NCL for my rude awakening this morning.

 

It’s now taken a visit to guest services and a call to double-zero to resolve, and I returned to my cabin tonight to find...

 

 

Anybody able to count that up to 24? I’ve tried a few times and keep coming up short.

It looks like 2 bottles are tucked behind the champagne bottles. That would make 24.

Thanks for posting your review! Will be on Epic in March and I am mentally preparing for the cabin. :D Fortunately, we have a large balcony, so I will be on the lounger a lot!

I'm on the same cruise...March 17, 2018...can't wait!

This link will take you to the NCL Board.

Thank you for the link, Keith. I don't know my way around CruiseCritic, so I appreciate the help!

Does anyone have the Freestyle Dailies for the Epic for the 7-day western Caribbean cruise?

Out of curiosity, was there a farewell show on the last night highlighting all of the crew? Or a Crew Talent Show?

They introduced the staff at the end of the Mersey Boys show in the theater on the last sea day.

Where did you find Popcorn on the ship?? Never saw that before lol :)

They had popcorn for the movie they were showing in the atrium.

Who’s the current cruise director?

Andre...he does a nice job!

Thank you Dave&Ronda!!

Balcony room 10660

Another cruise we will be in the room next door. 10658! Looks like a great location.

 

Your room is next to 10660, on the right. Here's a photo of our balcony taken from one floor above, and you can see your balcony next door. If you look to the left, there's some sort of apparatus attached to the ship, but it doesn't obscure the view at all. (I attached the photo).

You mentioned you were in an Aft Balcony on deck 10. What room and any photos available? We are cruising the Pearl in an Aft deck 10 room 10168.

We were in room 10660, which is a side balcony room toward the aft of the ship.

So, the week after you get off the ship is not the time to ask the ship to adjust the temperature of the water. And if you were really that unhappy, the ship would have refunded your spa pass or given you a discount. Kinda late to be complaining now.

The OP asked "Is thermal spa pass worth it?" It was my experience that it was not. I'm not "kinda late complaining", I'm replying to a CC question!

Hi everyone!

 

Do any of you know if the Thalassotherapy pool is heated or the water is cold?

On the Pearl last week, both the thellassotherapy pool and the "hot tub" were barely luke warm. There were groups of people congregated together in the pools that carried on loud conversations. It sounded like a high school locker room. It's hard to read while relaxing on the loungers, with dim overhead lights. There was a TV on the women's side that was never turned off. There was no relaxing background music. The only saving grace were the heated tile loungers (yay, finally something warm!), but they can be hard to come by on a sea day when everyone's on board. Yes, the big mouths eventually leave, and the tile loungers aren't always occupied, but the tepid water was always tepid. Worst money I ever spent.

Go to this Facebook link for the 10-day Panama Canal Pearl Freestyle Daily's.

I scanned the Daily's, but am unable to attach the file.

Oh, good, I see there's an Aruba Aloe at the cruise terminal, and another right up the street. Thankyou! :)

I'll be taking NCL's DePalm Island excursion in Aruba. Is Aruba Aloe sold in their gift shop? Is there a shopping area by the pier that sells it? Anyone know how much it costs? I don't want to buy it online, I want to buy it when I'm there. Thanks in advance!

Oh boy! This is where my big mouth probably would've had my family hiding under the table. I would have said something.

You're right...LOL...where were you when I needed you!

Yes!!! When I was having dinner at a specialty restaurant on the Getaway, there was a couple with 2 small children. The 3 year old wailed and cried literally at the top of his lungs for the entire dinner. The parents did nothing to comfort or quiet him. Everyone was getting up and moving to another table. I think the staff was at a loss of what to do, aside from moving people. Maybe it's in the culture of this couple to let the kid "cry it out", who knows what their mindset was, but they ruined, for everyone, what should have been a relaxing meal. I blame the parents in this case, but at that time, a kid-free cruise would have been heavenly.

I would call Norwegian and discuss this with them .

We normally like to wait till we are on the ship before booking shore excursions,however,at times we have booked in advance.

Thanks for responding, Lenny. I did call NCL and was told that the excursions will be listed on the website around the middle of May.

I booked the Norwegian Escape for Oct. 28, 2017 for the Eastern Caribbean. Some excursions for Nassau were listed a couple of months ago, and nothing since. There aren't any at all for St. Thomas or Tortola. Is this the same for everyone, or is it a glitch with my site? I was able to book 2 excursions last August for my April cruise coming up.
