STARFISH*4

I carry a small shoulder bag and it’s usually on my lap in my chair or on the chair back facing away from an aisle. Lucky those of you that don’t need one ( hubby was tired of filling his pockets with my stuff ) NEVER do I put my bag on the floor EVER-bags just don’t belong on floors-dont get me started there.... lol

and always off the ground in a restroom, but that definitely is another topic......

👍And after everything that has happened, if buying new clothes can make your life a bit happier----definitely go for it😃

Absolutely!

Hope they keep the Cordon Bleu last two times it was very good!

Its hard to find in my neck of the woods!!
Wish they would bring back teriyaki chicken on a stick I ordered those for my entree when they had them

I’ve taken some of the same things on a cruise for years but always have a few new things too.

For my next cruise (5 months away) I’ve already picked up a few things.

It will be fun to dress-up a bit for dinner again!

Best Day Ever of the Seas

Wait and See of the Seas

6 months

Did the Canal both times thru the old locks-you have to experience that-it’s so cool.   Star first time and then the Jewel-Star was the best everything about that cruise-my favorite to date!

Next time we do the PC I think we will try a larger ship just to get both of the Canal experiences!

Enjoy the PC it definitely will be memorable!

Have had so many since the begining.   Get one we like and seems they are gone in a year or so.   In the begining our PCCs were better I feel and now days I don’t see that-not our experience with them anyway.

Tour prices change all the time, mostly going up. I try to book my tours when there is a Cruise Favorites sale (I get email notifications), which is usually a 4 day or more period that happens about every 3 weeks. I book my tours as far in advance as possible, recheck prices if there is a new sale, and cancel/rebook if lower.

How do I get this please?   I’m use to NCL you can book ahead or on the ship and prices don’t change-between the drinks and shore excursions this is a lot of checking

Soda pkg for my MR 7 day came to 73 and change and that is with a 30% discount.😜

Everyone should choose what works for them! Last cruise I got a lanyard after multiple times cruising without one.   Hubby was tired of me always asking for my card and I was tired of asking him for it or forgetting it and didn’t always want to carry a bag with me.  A lot of my cruise clothes are without pockets too, so I’m bringing my lanyard-my choice-my comfort!

Smooth seas with or without your lanyard😄

I still consider my first cruise in 1964 coming back from Guam to CA on the USNS Barrett.

My Dad suprised my mom by telling her we were going back to the states on a Navy ship

He was in the USAF and at this time this was a very special not of the norm way to return to the states.

This was a military ship carrying servicemen to HI (2 day layover) and to CA from Guam

There were very few families on board but the crew did an amazing job of keeping the kids entertained.  They provided us with so many things to do my brother and I (7&11) we were never bored.   My mom was sea sick a lot but it was still an unforgettable and most memorable time in my life.
My other first cruise Celebrity Mercury to Alaska 2002.

” Wanna go on a cruise to Alaska?”  Alaska? on a cruise, why?   “Cos we can get a great deal thru a Travel Agency In July-the salmon will be running and I think it would be cool!  Ok, I guess; what do I wear?”

Been cruising ever since.

Been with NCL since 2005 but trying RC again in 2022 last time was 2005.  We love the laid back Free~Style of NCL but anxious for our cruise on the Navigator to MR.

If your cruise goes to Coco Cay, get the Crispy Chicken sandwich at the Snack Shack on Coco Cay.

Not this time Navigator to MR but thanks for the tip~ maybe next cruise!

Thanks much for the link.   Looks like a lovely fun ship!

Thanks everyone it sounds like the 2 lines are pretty similar but looking forward to the Ice Show!

Definitely will be asking for something I don’t see on the menu.  Chicken Cordon Bleu but maybe they offer it.

Again thanks for all the input.

After 15 years with NCL giving RC another try-last sailed 15 years ago Legend of the Seas.

What does a former Free-Style cruiser need to know for a smooth sailing with RC Navigator of the Seas.  Any tips would be helpful and appreciated. Thanks

Just cruise again and this time with Royal!

2 for 5

Each outfits jewelry goes into separate ziplock bags which are put into one of Joy Mangano’s zippered pouches from one of her beauty cases 

Just being on the ship and getting away!

I carry a small bag or give to hubby for his pocket.  Mostly the bag now as he says he doesn’t have room for my other necessities.  Lol

Last year on the EPIC sailing from PC in Dec was one of the most relaxed free style dressing ever experienced on NCL (crushing since 2005)

not much dressing for either men or women dinner time and shorts were accepted at LeBistro-we were a tad surprised, but since we weren’t dressing up either (not in shorts) it didn’t bother me but I did notice

Going on the Joy in December out of San Pedro and I suspect we will see much the same

I LOVE em-just might have to ask!

Just changed mine called up my cruise guy he took care of it
