Palmetto Pilot

I think the Royal Caribbean group is pricing themself out as a whole. Carnival and NCL are absolutely more of a value, at least on paper.

As an airline pilot there is nothing more I despise than drone operators.

We've done RCCL and Carnival in the meantime but we need a change. Back to where it started, I suppose.

I'm really enjoying your review. We're on the Encore in a week for our anniversary and NYE. My last NCL cruise was the Norway and Norwegian Sea in the early 1990s.

my first cruise was the Norway in 1995, I did 2 more NCL cruises in the 1990s had a paper latitudes number and all that mess. Didn't cruise again until 2004 and NCL would not credit the cruises. It's a bummer for sure.

Munich airport is closed now and buried under snow! Good thing you didn't go to Munich!

Awesome I got verified today. I wish I would have known a few days ago before I booked!

We're doing a NYE and (10 year anniversary) cruise on the Encore to the eastern Caribbean. It's my first cruise on NCL since the Norway in 1995 or so. Typically we cruise Royal in a suite and have access to the suite deck.

Is vibe still worth it on port intensive itineraries?

Did you book under a military rate? or do you have to sign up?

How long to they typically stay up? Will we see them on a NYE cruise?

well, it's certainly closed now.

We try to always sail at least sky class on Oasis class. Got a CLS for sub $7000 for our family of 4 in October.

My parents are on that cruise with you. It's their first Oasis class ship and they are having a fantastic time.

out of about 50 cruises the Mardi Gras was probably the absolute worst ship and most disappointing cruise I've ever taken. Too many people, not enough crew. If you like waiting for everything then I'd say the MG is for you.
