  1. hilton doubletree. we just walked around and looked atthe scenery, had a pizza at an out door cafe
  2. how off topic can we get? LOL after you paint it black, get off of my cloud, and bring me back some brown sugar to share with jumpin jack flash
  3. remember, "he who hesitates is lost" run, dont walk. call ncl as soon as possible, and keep trying until a real live human talks to you and you get confirmation of the cancelation. sorry you have to cancel. anytime i need to cancel a cruise, it's depressing for me, as i always look forward to it ( the cruise, not the cancellation)
  4. go and ask ruby tuesday or take one of mother's little helper's
  5. on the web. we were on the star in 2022 and one of the ports were brugge, it's a shame you couldnt dock there, it's one of the prettiest cities (places) we've ever been. this past summer we were on the dawn and couldnt stop in berlin and edinburgh. in 2016, we couldnt dock in taipei or hanoi. all these missed ports came with a great deal of disappointment. really wanted to see hanoi and berlin. as they say, them's the breaks, and what can you do. even given a plausible explanation, it doesnt remove the disappointment of missing places one actually was looking forward to seeing and probably one of the primary reasons to book that particular cruise by the way, berlin and edinburgh due to weather conditions, hanoi/taipei, mechanical issues
  6. hey chief, we can always hope (useless to try, but better than a stick in the eye) certainly wasnt expecting a contest!
  7. once again ncl overwhelms it's consumer base with this miraculous, fantasmagoric opportunity. think i'll paint the shed instead, and the gutters need cleaning, seems like a lot more fun. by the way, is there any mention of the category type? sarcasm wholly and intentionally added to this post. all of you be well, safe and enjoyable cruising, and see ya on the flip side.
  8. not me!! wouldnt ncl be better served if they posted their announcement on their own web-site, or maybe their failure to do so is a way to admit this big announcement "aint no big deal"
  9. maybe i missed it completely, or just looked in the wrong spot, but went to ncl website and didnt see any type of "big, new" announcement went to google, and saw ncl press release about the new aqua sailings in 2025.(at 76 years old) i dont like to plan that far ahead, and dont even buy green bananas if this was actually the big announcement, once again, as i posted before, i am more than underwhelmed
  10. why would anyone really care if the epic in some peoples estimation is "ugly" or not. as long as your cabin is neat, nicely arranged and comfortable, and the amenities are there who cares what the ship looks like? although some of the cabin setups are questionable, and one can wonder what the designers were either smoking or drinking when they designed her. been on the epic twice, and how she looked out side, never even occurred to me
  11. i can see the problem, but with all the dining options on board, why would you want to eat in the same place for 7 days. im sure any of the many restaurants on the ship, can accomodate you with a wheelchair accessible table, and seafood less menu choices. i'd be very much surprised if ncl couldnt do this for you
  12. if sailing from jacksonville is their new big announcement, i continue to be underwhelmed. id rather watch paint dry, it;s much more exciting
  13. having read all of ncl's underwhelming "big "announcements", from 70% off 2nd guest, 2nd guess is free, 50% off cruise, etc and seeing no major changes in actual pricing, i'm not going to hold my breath
  14. hey, UK, you left out chilling and pouring my champagne, and making my omelet in the morning
  15. any one over 65 who lived on the east coast should know murray the K, alias 5th beatle. major new york dj. right up there with cousin brucie and if you dont like and appreciate doo wopp, you're missing a great number of amazing groups and songs. if all i heard on a hip was doo wopp, i'd be in heaven. lets hear it for the 5 satins, the flamingoes, and the penquins to just to name a few of the many outstanding vocal groups from that era. by the way, i'm 76, and i am definitely NOT A SWIFTIE!
  16. it's good if you want an inside cabin
  17. tried that, didnt work. also the form wont show a "country code" although i know it's 1 by the way, as far as the drink goes, we have a deal!
  18. hey cruisey! believe me i tried. ivsa wanted almost $400 for me and my wife, evisa wont let me get through the 1st page. one of the things they want filled in is "OTP' i have no idea how to fill this in/ nor how to get this. i did find out that it stands for 1 time (and i forgot what the p stands for. you're a travel agent, and by previous posts, i understand you do this for friends and close family members, but i beseech you for one time, can you slightly move out of your comfort zone and "HELP"
  19. so yvrteacher, do you use any other criteria when booking? are you claiming that if the shows offered are not to your liking/tastes, you wont book the cruise. i concede that everyone has different tastes, but personally, i prefer booking based on ports of call, and price. Sometimes i never even get to the shows, and even if it's a show i want to see, oftentimes, we never get around to seeing it. in 25 cruises, some shows i never bothered with seeing, some were good, some were just ok, and some were merely meh! none of them (imho) ever reached the level of sensational, although i thought six came really close. we walked out of jersey boys, even though im a died in the wool 4 seasons fan. Frankie Valli he aint, and it just seemed tp follow the movie. that being said, however, if we're ever on the same ship at the same time in the stardust theater, allow me to buy you a drink
  20. i thought "SIX" was amazing! Saw it on the bliss in 2022. it played again in los angeles, and we saw it again. got tickets for my grandson (24) and his girlfriend, and they both loved it. give the girls their proper props. non-stop energy. great music, what more could anyone ask for/ once again, "to each his own" i guess
  21. i just keep it on my wallet (what's in your wallet)?
  22. you can usually slide 2 28" suitcases under the bed. i would guestimate the distance from the floor to the bed itself is about 12'' or less. we usually leave any smaller cases we have, tucked away by the curtain in front of the balcony window. and yes, we're in a 2 bedroom suite
  23. didnt you ever hear "blue suede shoes" ? all 4 in the quartet, were about the same time period
  24. hey, cambridge1.. read my lips..... "there ain't no dress code"! le bistro requires collared shirts, some mdr's require long pants, but any collared shirts or long pants will fit the requirement. other then that, the sky's the limit, and personally, i would pay extra (call it a tip or a bribe) to see my buddy chief jrk mate pop into a restaurant in his jammies...LOL
