OT, test post.

Thanksgiving week, Bride and I in the Haven. I'm a, "Yes Dear" as she drags me along! Don't pay attention to details unless I'm in charge......

I'm mostly concerned with access to a steam room, without PAYING extra like they wanted on the Epic.

Sky twice, Sun soon,  two previous RCL, no charge for using the steam room. Epic......

And anything else that may tickle my fancy?

Don't know the price we got but I do know we got a great deal on suite for four on the Bliss Thanksgiving week. My SIL made the deal. She's good at it too!

Is there stuff to do at Atlantis if you haven’t bought their expensive packages?

You can use their beach.

I agree with newleno. I've been on the Sky during Spring Break and the are MANY young adults partaking in the open bar perk. Some behave, most don't. Your Daughter would be exposed to this and may look up to them, as they are not much older.

Your choice though.

If I can leave one bit of cruising advice, here it is. Have your room service guy leave plenty of coffee packages in your room at all times. Brink your own powdered creamer. Works well for us. We'll have coffee if desired on deck later.

CNN reported 4 killed and 195 injured - lots of damage in Havana residential areas..

Gee, thanks for trying but I was more interested in any info regarding future NCL port visits.

Havana was hit by a tornado Sunday/Monday. Can't find anything about it here. Anyone know anything?

Thanks, I've been perusing a few sites for vintage car tours.

Enjoy your trip.

Thanks

A few old friends cruised back about 1982 or so. I remember them bragging about what they did to one of the guys who got seriously drunk and passed out. They claimed they closed him up in one of the fold-up/stow-away bunks (similar to the overhead storage on an airliner) and went about partying the rest of the night. I get the willies just writing about this.

Did they really have those kind of sleeping arrangements then?

Need some help/advice. Want to purchase a massage for both my Bride and SIL for an upcoming Sun cruise and give it to them as a gift.

I haven't the slightest clue where to start. Can someone steer me in the right direction please?

Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas to all who choose to celebrate.

I'm probably a little early but in the Christmas spirit so...

Four couples, on the NCL Sun, mid-April

Want to get my BIL in an old convertible, myself and 2 other guys and cruise in style, maybe smoke a Cuban cigar, have a cocktail or two dozen, create some laughter and most importantly, memories.

I'll listen, thank you.

I'm booked on the Sun to Cuba in April....

Great Outdoors Cafe on Deck 11. You can eat breakfast with a Bloody Mary at the bar. Not sure what time the bar opens, but I had a few BM's there on the Sky in the morning.

Don't know your specifics but we did a one-way van rental from Orlando Int. to get to the ship and another for the return. Our flight was late Sat night so we went to the beach for the day.

I wish I could, but it is not. However, I really enjoyed it. Lots more than steam! And it's really fun to hit the snow room. 

Not the news I wished for but thanks for your reply.

So, viewing the thread title it caught my attention. Bride is planning a voyage on the Bliss. I see thermal pass and it's already a negative for me. I enjoy the steam room and it's refreshing rewards. Was on the Epic recently and was disappointed that I needed a thermal pass to use the steam room. The $200 to $250 price tag for a half-hour a day self serve treatment is pretty steep.

Please tell me the steam room is included on the Bliss. Please......

They only serve the tippers!🤣

Unless you screw it to the door, which is not allowed, anyone can take your decorations. Use tape or magnets or magnetic decorations.

I used Enterprise a couple years ago. Took a shuttle there, rented a SUV, drove to Orlando for a few days and dropped it Orlando Int'l. No big deal. We do the same, each way, Orlando/Port Canaveral.

I need to put a car in Orlando!

Aw man, from the Epic too! Sailed the Epic on March 17th. It was too cool and windy on the journey home so they didn't do a White/Glow party at Spice H2O. Might've moved it inside, I found other things to do.

Commenting because I want to learn more about these sail away themes. I do the drink packages for convenience but am starting to think twice. My Bride is doing the Escape this weekend with her Sister, Niece and another Woman in the Haven. She couldn't get the drink package but we believe it isn't worth it to her because she spends a significant amount of time in the casino, hence her party drinking will be cheaper in the long run by single purchase.

Hoping your post answers many questions.

I'm not good at links, however, if you click on Boards at the top of the page, they scroll down to Ports of Call, Click on Caribbean, then click on Cuba. The Cuba Port of Call threads have some good info!

Thank you both. New reading material!

I didn't buy either coffee or cigars. You would get a better response in the Cuba forum I think.
