Just returned from BA ..... I believe the lifeboats were on deck 7. The Waterfront IS deck 8 and the deck is wider there. We were on 13 mid and from our balcony I saw the white awnings and the brown wide deck on 8 but no lifeboats. 

Wonderful cruise and ship,..btw :)

If you're a coffee drinker, take some instant coffee.  I use Starbucks Via .... easy individual packs.  I find the NCL  (Breakaway) coffee very weak.  Forgot it on last week's cruise.  Bummer!

O'Sheehans (or The Local on Bliss) is open for breakfast and I think they stay throughout most of the cruise.  We have gotten baileys and coffee there plenty of mornings...

Thank you .....  I guess my follow-up question is,    The UDP perk covers the Bailey's/coffee, right?  It's MOT considered "specialty or premium" coffee?

Looks like Atrium bar at 6, then MDR for another at 8 with DH.

Thanks!

Thanks, PtC Dawg.   I'll check those out.  Leaving in 5 days ...YAY!!!

So much info on Cruise Critic.  Love it!

We end each day with a double shot of Bailey's to take back to the room.

Wasn't going to post this question .... a little embarrassed ....but this seems to be the right place!!

Any bars open REALLY EARLY on Breakaway?  I've learned that Bailey's can turn a mediocre cup of coffee into quite yummy!  Or do I need to do like Amy JA and get it the night before?

We will be in Roatan on July 9.....   3 ships are scheduled that day.

Tender?  or a matter of who gets there first?  :)

Also, our Costa Maya day has  2 ships scheduled and our Cozumel day has 5 scheduled.

Any tenders at those ports?

Thank you!

Enjoyed the puppy and socks pics ...... however the luggage one was truly startling!!

Great  .....I'll follow.  Family vacay on BA  in 3ish weeks.  

Favorite spot??    Fav food??  Fav  port or excursion??   entertainment??  

Thanks for the replies.  Seems like it's really a guessing game.

I'm hoping waiting till 9 or so will have most of the crowd through  customs and gone!

Have sailed a few times but can't remember how long it takes to retrieve luggage and get through customs. Need to arrange a "ride" for our group.

Sailing Breakaway in July  ..... LOTS of  people getting off, I'm sure!

Say we take the 9:00 disembarkation time ..... what time should I tell the van driver to pick us up?  

Thank you!!

In another post, I read where the partitions can be opened with either a flat head or phillips screwdriver.  My suitcase  MIGHT be a little heavier!  Just sayin' ......

Well..... I finally heard back from my TA this afternoon.

She spoke with an NCL rep who said  ..." the new promotion only applies to new bookings but if you were to upgrade to the next room category you could be eligible for the promotion. To upgrade your stateroom, the price would increase by $608."   My answer was  No Thanks.  

This is already the MOST expensive cruise we have ever taken.

Thanks for everyone's input   ..... it just didn't work out for me this time.

I contacted my TA this morning. Said she would absolutely look into this.

Waiting to hear ..... fingers crossed!!!

so..... final payment is the cutoff. I didn't know.

BUT....  I'll ASK!!!     Thanks

We booked our July 7, 2019  NCL cruise on Apr 21  ... paid for it all then.

Got 2 Free at sea perks with our mini-suite.  Looks like if I were to book that same  cruise in the same MA cabin class, I would save about $300 and get 2 more perks!  Can I do this?

I called the Access dept using the phone# above and they took care of my request for large print compasses ....said they would be in my room but if forgotten, go to Guest Services on ship. Also, said I would need to see Guest Services on ship for close seating in the theater. So.... I will do that! Nice service.

And I appreciate all the good info above.

OK....special needs dept.

Thanks!

Is the Cruise Compass available in large print? and how do I get it?

Knowing what's happening and when, makes for a better cruise!

THANKS

I'll do that....thanks

Sure would like to have a large print CC on our next cruise! I'm tired of not knowing what's happening on the ship! Does RCCL offer that?? and how do I request it?

Wold like to have it in the room on embarkation day.

THANK YOU!

Thanks everybody .... these forums are great.

I don't do a lot of posting but sure do a lot of reading!!!

OK...thanks for the replies. I'm saving the ink and going with the pdf.

I have printed our Set Sail passes and luggage tags.

Do I NEED to print those NUMEROUS pages of eDocs? Will I need them for security anywhere? Can I just save them on my phone?

Thanks!
