2 Fun Guys

Sorry... off topic but O'Sheehan's adjacent... O'Sheehan's (Breakaway version) still has breakfast right? The updated menu on NCL.com only shows lunch/dinner.

39 days to Breakaway - Western Caribbean 410 days to Viva - Southern Caribbean

For what it's worth, there is Pickleball on Prima & (planned) Viva.

Ok! Do you (or anyone reading this) have a current map of Harvest Caye? I can only find one that has the old restaurant on it, etc.

The excursion we booked at Harvest Caye was cancelled. So, for a variety of reasons we've narrowed our next choice down to Placencia Lagoon Wildlife & Mangrove & Glass Bottom Reef Explorer . Anyone have any experience with either? Recommendations between the 2? Thanks!

Just read this: https://www.broadwayworld.com/article/BEETLEJUICE-to-Play-Norweigian-VIVA-Cruise-in-2023-20221217 Saw it on Broadway. A crowd pleaser. Not my favorite, personally. But, hey, after a few mai tais, maybe I'll sing "Day-o" with the cast! 😉

108 days - Breakaway Western Caribbean - NOLA R/T 479 days - Viva Eastern/Southern Caribbean - San Juan, PR R/T

I would LOVE a mac and cheese entree. Nothing fancy, plain old homemade mac and cheese!

Relatively new to cruising... but we definitely have the bug! Pride of America Encore Breakaway Upcoming: March 23 : Breakaway; March 24: Viva; March 25: either POA or Prima Want to sail on Bliss, Joy and Escape...

No magnets on Breakaway, NCL towels, models and more water bottles with the NCL logo on them. The only thing they had that actually said Breakaway on it was the model. I hope the magnets come back. I know we were not the only ones looking for them last trip.

And they all post here.

121 days to Breakaway Western Caribbean! 492 days to Viva Eastern/Southern Caribbean!

This. Exactly. In fact, especially on the Breakaway, it was like being in church or a library!

Isn't it amazing how many consumers continue to give companies that they know are lying to them thousands of dollars anyway? How do these consumers sleep at night?

It isn't even a question of reading the small print. It is right there when you select which of the 4 FAS items you choose when you are making your reservation: If you unclick those, the gratuities disappear, then you can buy your meals & drinks if you choose to, understanding that you will automatically be charged a gratuity on each purchase. The only place in the "big print" that says unlimited is the open bar, nowhere is it implied that you'd get unlimited specialty dining. The fare itself does not change when you unclick those things. Not getting the FAS means you don't get charged anything in advance and everything is a la carte. Click them and pay only gratuity. So actually, the drinks and the 2 meals are free, and your fare is not more expensive because you are getting FAS. As far as other lines not charging tax when in certain ports, either they add one big charge at the end (big is a relative term... it's not that much) or they are defrauding the local municipality by not collecting that money. Of course, they may just roll it into your fare, thus charging you for something you may not have done. I'm no lawyer, but that all reeks of criminality. Every NCL cruise I've been on has had clear signs about in port gratuities. YMMV on this. All of that said, I do think it's ridiculous that NCL charges $80/pp to pick your own cabin ("Sail Away" vs standard rate). It is also ridiculous to not know what you are agreeing to before you click that "reserve" button and make your deposit. Sure, NCL could be clearer in their advertising. What company couldn't? I mean when was the last time you bought a Big Mac that ever looked like it does in the ads?
