Thanks. This helps a lot

Let me start off by saying I am not a smoker & don't need any lectures about smoking on cruise ships. I've seen enough of them in the past and I am really glad that the cruise lines are restricting the locations more than they have in the past. However one of my guest, a first time cruiser, is a smoker, so I'd like to be able to tell him where it is allowed on the Norwegian Sun.

Does the Gem have WIFI in the staterooms or do you have to go to a hot spot?
-
Who is the current CD on the Gem? Any idea who it will be in Oct 2018?

Does the Gem have wifi in all cabins or just in hot spots around the ship?

I may have worded the original question wrong. I just wanted to know if the second show was still so crowded that there were not enough theater seats because it seemed like too many the passengers tried to go to the second show. How early does My Time Dining start?
-
A few years ago we sailed on the Grandeur and had a major problem with early dining. Because the early show was scheduled too close to the dinner hour, no one could make it to early show unless they skipped desert. As a result the second show did not have enough seats. The only way to have early dinner and get a seat at the show was to be at the theater door when the early show let out and sit in the theater seat for nearly an hour before the second show. Is this still a problem or have they fixed the show times?

Does the Jade have a Cirque type show, like the Dawn?

Duck tape works fine for this. I used a cpap for 11 years on cruise ships. First thing I did was tape down the extension cord so that no one would trip. Several cabin attendants supplied a gallon bottle of distilled water as soon as they saw the machine. I didn't even have to ask. However the regular tap water on the ship is distilled from sea water so it works just fine too.You might want to bring a masking tape to make the cord firm on the floor so you won't trip on it. -
I've had to park on the ramp outside the actual parking lot. There is info on the port of call boards for other options in case you are worried. Think of it as the day you board, people are disembarking so cars will leave.
Thanks! Parking at the terminal was never a problem in the past, but I haven't tried since the mega liners started embarking there. I have also used Park Right in the past with no problems, so I just made a reservation with them. It's a little less convenient, but cheaper and guaranteed.

Does anyone know if the Manhattan Terminal Parking ever completely fills up? We are on the Jade in October and according to the terminal schedule there could be cars for up to eight ships, including the Breakaway, parked there at the same time. The terminal parking does not take reservations. First come, first serve only. What happens if they are full when you arrive?

Does anyone know what cable news channels are available in the Jade cabins since drydock? Also who is the cruise director? We will be sailing on Oct 6.

Can you explain the type assigned to CC members. What is a Cool Cruiser, Blue Ribbon Cruiser, etc?
-
Thanks for all the suggestions. Decided to stick with Park Right again. Used them before, and it worked out well. $280 for 10 days, split by 2 couples isn't bad. Our car will be in a covered garage and we can walk or cab back to it after the cruise.

Looking fir a good ground transportation service from Keyport or Hazlett, NJ to the Manhattan pier for 4 adults. Can't decide if it would be better to get a driver or use an alternate parking garage. We used Park Right before, and it was good & walkable distance, but one of our group can't walk that distance this time.
Has anyone used Uber from NJ?

Looking for the best transportation from Keyport, NJ to the Manhattan Cruise Terminal for 4 people. Carole

We're a bit closer to the NY Cruise Ship pier, and we are planning on using Uber. They seem to be a bit less than all other car services around.
Thanks! I'll look into Uber, however I have heard that Uber wasn't very reliable in Manhattan & the price can fluctuate depending on what else is going on at the time. Carole

Looking for round trip car service for 4 adults from Keyport, NJ to the pier in Manhattan. Any suggestions? Carole

Do all cabins on the Gem have refrigerators?
-
So far so good, but not good enough for me until room service charge is eliminated.
If they remove the RS charge they will just add on to the ticket price. I don't use RS, so personally I'd like to leave it the way it is. Let those who use RS pay for it rather than everyone indirectly paying for a service that they don't use.

I am a platinum level NCL cruiser who has booked my most recent cruises on Royal just to try the line. I was planning to switch back to NCL until this new policy. Sorry NCL but you just lost another loyal customer.
-
I am a Latitudes Platinum level cruiser, and enjoy a late night snack like milk & cookies on my balcony at night. I usually pick up a milk carton at breakfast and a few cookies at lunch and keep them in the fridge for just before bedtime. If I can no longer do that, I'll have to change cruise lines.

Hi all,
I think we should start a campaign for RCCL to set a cruise industry first by offering free wifi on all RCCL ships.
Wifi is quickly becoming apart of everyday life for so many people, for so many different reasons that it seems old fashioned to charge for wifi. It really would be WOW if RCCL offered free wifi.
It's just an idea.... :confused:
I would rather book a ship for a few months in the coldest part of the winter than go to FL if I could stay in closer touch with my children & grandchildren. This could be a great marketing tool for the first line to allow free or cheap unlimited wifi.
Hotel near Seattle Pier.

Does anyone know of a good reasonably priced hotel near the NCL pier in Seattle?
