Hmmm. Easy to say that, but in practice? Some of the people from Diamond Princess are still not out of the hospital. they haven't been home in nearly a month.

First, definitely hyperbole.  Second, I don't think they even make that flavor.

I guess it was just a lighthearted way of saying that I have no intention of canceling a cruise based on the threat of a virus that is much less dangerous than the car ride to the port.  

I'd eat a coronavirus popsicle before I'd cancel my cruise.

My favorite one so far--

 

"We hated both our cabin (we had a jacuzzi in the middle of the room) and the ship (very crowded with no places to just sit and relax without having to buy something). The ship was obscenely large and crowded. It was embarrassing every time we docked in one of the Mediterranean destinations and the ship dominated the harbor."

Don't they know, it's not about the size of the ship, it's about the motion . . . oh, nevermind.

All good responses, thank you.

Does the pool have a lot of good activities or is it just music?

Also, do they show a lot of movies at H2O?

I'm new to NCL, but have cruised on every other major cruise line.  So I'm used to the pool being the primary gathering spot during the day to catch some rays.  However, it looks to me that NCL has two central gathering spots for chilling in a deck chair. 

For you experienced NCL folks, which do you prefer and why:  Spice H20 or the Pool?

Progresso is another sea day for me.  But my least favorite port ever is Sardinia.  It might not have been as bad if I hadn't been in Portofino Italy the day before and Palma de Mallorca the day after.

New to NCL, but a veteran of more than 20 cruises.  Regarding Pete's contention that crew members don't remember, I have two stories. 

My wife and I cruised on HAL in the Mediterranean several years ago.  It was a wonderful trip and we made friends with our female cabin attendant.  About 5 years later, we cruised the Caribbean on RCL.  As we were walking down the hallway to our stateroom, I heard someone yelling my wife's name--it was our HAL cabin attendant.  She had moved to RCL and was working on the same deck as our stateroom.  They ran down the hallway and hugged like they were long-lost cousins.

And on Celebrity two years ago, my wife became very attached to our assistant waiter.  The two exchanged emails and still keep in contact with each other.  We are planning a Celebrity cruise later in the summer so that we can sail with her again (this time as a head waiter).

Pete, just because you and I aren't particularly memorable to crew members doesn't mean that everyone is. 

Regarding the OP, I like to know the names of the captain, cruise director, restaurant manager, etc.  It adds to the anticipation of the cruise, which can sometimes be almost as fun as the cruise itself. 

Can anyone give me any information about the current cruise director on the Breakaway?
