According to some members of our cruise. Another NCL cruise had this same issue earler this month.  Malaga is not a regular port for them except on Transatlantic cruises.

Sorry my internet access is limited due to being on ship. All tours to  Gibraltar from Malaga were denied entrance. We were herded like cattle without proper communication. Some got in for about one hour. No one was able to get to summit, see apes or visit caves. The complaint line crossed the atrium.

Ncl loaded over 200 to Gibraltar from Malaga. All turned away at border. Pulled us all into Spiegel Tent but not yet refunds. Diabetics and handicapped travlers left without food or for hours. This was a  repeat from last weeks cruise. No refunds or credits offered yet. NCL DO BETTER.

It is no longer listed on the Breakaway page.  We saw it in September and enjoyed it. I was going to take family to see it in April but no more.

Can you use your Starbucks phone app onboard?

Yes. I used mine on the Bliss and the Breakaway. No rewards points can be used but they do accumulate. 

It takes a bit of work but you can assign seats with the carrier.  If you have your reservation number most airline apps allow check in and seat assignments.  I was able to pick seats to and from Rome on all legs of flight.

We saw Six on the Bliss and it bored me to tears. It is too loud and not compelling storytelling.  We are traveling in September and made Company our priority. 

We are doing a Transatlantic next year to Rome from New York City.  I am doing a mixture. I have booked NCL excursions fir ports that often get skipped due to weather.  I am also booking NCL for things that take you away from host city i.e. Gibraltar from Malaga. Also cities I have experienced before I know what I want to spend more time doing. NCL does not offer a tour that goes into Sagrada Familia. I want to see the interior. 

I am planning a cruise with a family member who has accesibility issues. I can book adventures privately that we can all enjoy, including Barcelona and Rome.

This is what I'm talking about: 

• Specialty Dining Packages include one main course per person at Cagney's and Le Bistro

What is a main course? Entree, or full app, salad, entree, dessert? It's really not clear. This is directly from the Terms & conditions.

We were on Epic in September.  Ate in Cagney's for our anniversary. It was one entrée per person. Appetizers sides and dessert were all included. 

They do not sell day passes presale and are nearly impossible once aboard.

With new muster procedures go get scanned into system.

Book shows and last minute Dinner reservations.

Lunch MDR or O'Shehans

First Dark and Stormy

Spa tour

Food is good but we found the music so loud it ruined the experience.  For the record we did not enjoy Ocean Blue but the Mexican restaurant Los Lobos was excellent and inexpensive for upcharge.  I would not waste a dining credit on any of them.

definitely coming in 2 days early, but curious as to Debarkation...

we need to fly out asap after getting off ship

 

We did this cruise September 2021. Booked transfer to airport with Norwegian and were off by 630.

Those joining cruises in Italy from USA. Double check airline.  RT PCR now mandatory. I called my carrier last night. It must be PCR no earlier than 72 hours from flight.

We are on a Mediterranean cruise on Epic from Rome. We are doing a PCR test on our way out of town at a CVS. We arrive one day early so our results will be ready at check-in.  Insurance will cover test for travel to another country for us.  Also have to carry a home test to take prior to return. That cost was $150 for 6 tests.

Lobster was not available anywhere on NCL for a while. It has been added to speciality restaurants with an additional upcharge even for dining package. La Bistro and Cagney's have it now. Unsure of Ocean Blue.

The tours that included the archeology museums or Herculean were cancelled. Other excursions are available to Pompeii.  I have one scheduled on September 9th. Sailing on Epic. 

We have an Alaska booked for September 2021. It is the 25th anniversary of our meeting.

HI guys,

 

My husband and I are doing this cruise as well. My second time on the Bliss, incredible ship, and it will be Victor's first. So looking forward to a getaway. Not sure what to do in Jamaica, if anything off the ship it will be a ship tour. We are a laid back couple from Bogota, Colombia and look forward to meeting every one at the LGBT happy hours.

 

Lawrence/Victor

Hi all - sorry, just joined & am sailing on the Escape in just under 2 weeks. It is our 1st cruise & we can’t wait. Why would we need water? Isn’t there water on the ship? Any help, would be greatly appreciated.  If it is helpful to know, we did purchase a beverage/alcohol package. 

There is water everywhere on the ship that is drinkable including the bathroom sink. You can carry a water bottle and fill it in buffet. We still buy bottles of water to carry off ship. I don't like packing a bottle or worrying about leaving my favorite bottle on the ship or on a beach.

Looks like there are several of us. We are signed up on the regular roll call too.  How are you handling Jamaica? We are thinking ship day with massage.
