Is the solarium on the Odyssey fully enclosed (unlike the Oasis)? We will be sailing in January.

Yes! That's why I need to get an NCL paperweight next.

But what about when your drink is attached to the end of your other arm?😉 I don't watch movies on my phone, but I occasionally watch educational videos and news clips - some of which are more than 30 minutes long. Propping the phone up against my coffee cup works until I need a sip.

It's actually fairly sturdy for a plastic device. Also compact. Could also hold a few coins, or breath mints, or a memory card (I still take a digital camera along).

Thanks! I had to google that to see how it is used. Actually quite handy. I've only used the ones that are attached to the back of the case.

I won this on the Breakaway, but I don't know what it's for. It has a very shallow compartment, too small for a key card. Reminds me of a note pad holder, but no paper or pen. Anyone have a clue???

Although I use the app, we still ask for paper copies of the schedule delivered to our stateroom (old habits die hard): It's handy when you're on the beach somewhere.

Good plan. From which site-NCL?

It's funny, I was on the Prima back in October, but I couldn't remember if I used the deck plans on the app. After reading your post, I now remember having problems viewing the decks; I seem to recall having to touch the screen way at the very bottom to "pull" the deck into view - it was very frustrating and sometimes required a few attempts, but I think I was able to access the deck plans eventually. Thanks for jogging my memory😄.

Hope you're right!

I am more familiar with the RCL app which shows deck plans for your cruise. I am not seeing this on the NCL app. Am I missing something?

That's always been my experience, but I've never cruised to Europe before. Thanks.

Another (maybe dumb) question: On the Norwegian app it states "Due to security reasons, all guests must be on board 2 hours before sailing." Does this apply to every time we leave port, or just the day 1 debarkation? Did you have to return to the ship 2 hrs. before leaving each port?

That's good. One less thing to pack (actually 3: sports jacket, dress pants, dress shoes). Thanks!

Skatie, Were there formal nights on the cruise? If so, how many? TIA

When I was on the Aug. 28 Oasis sailing I found that the weather forecasts were almost always the opposite of the actual weather conditions! Luckily we did not have any excursions planned in advance. Hope your day at Coco Cay is as sunny as ours was!
