First of all the boat drill for passengers on embarkation is for the passengers by law! Crew also must complete a crew only boat drill every 7 days, which also include any one of the emergency situations that may occur, coda Alpha, Oscar etc…that drill lasts anywhere from an hour to 2 hours depending on the simulation.

Omg everyone is proving my point about not knowing anything about why passenger drills are conducted

Reading all of these as Ex crew on cruise ships makes me laugh!!!!!!

So we are on the Joy in April and was wondering if anyone can give me info on the pricing for the karts, laser tag and the VR arcade. I understand the VR arcade is sold for 90 minute session or for the week. Thanks for all the help

I have cruise almost every line out there, I am almost 44 years old and still return to NCL most of the time because of 2 main reasons. One, the drink package is truly unlimited, Carnival ( not sure all the companies brands) limits to 15 per day (yes a lot for some but not for my wife an I on vacation)Two, Price, after you incorporate drink packages and specialty dining NCL in my opinion comes out less..I will say we have the Joy booked in for April in the Haven, but we are taking a shot at MSC yacht club simply because it is a few thousand cheaper.

I agree, RCCL Drink package is insane! But the funny part is watching after day 2 people trying to buy it but you can only buy it on the ship during the first 2 days

Western out of New orleans on the Breakaway

December was the lowest and the second was march

I have won 2 haven bids before and never bid higher then the lowest possible fair bid

I cruised RCCL Symohony of the seas last October because my NCL cruise got canceled 2 days before sailing. I got the drink package on RCCL and it was very high. With drink package RCCL was clearly higher priced! If no drink package RCCL was a little cheaper

Well I too have worked on board cruise ships , 5 years been through all the training involved in all boat drills and life safety drills. I can speak from my experience and still only give opinions

Ok quick question, is there anyone here that has been through SOLAS training? Anyone here work onboard a Cruise Ship or an ocean vessel with the same soles onboard? I understand everyone has opinions I’m just curious is there anyone with first hand experience

We are on the Joy April 8th!

So I have stayed in 9706 before. Was our first Have suite and honestly outside the balcony being very very small, we loved the space. Usually cheaper then most of the other Havens. We have stayed in this, 2 bedroom, as well as our upcoming April is in the Aft facing Haven on the joy. I prefer to stay in Havens with separate bedroom space becasue then your butler can just walk in when bringing coffee or breakfast in the moirning if you like.

Absolutely agree, we have stayed inside the haven in a 2 bedroom just my wife and I and also have stayed in the forward facing haven suite. April we are staying in the aft facing haven suite and have no desire to try and upgrade, the balcony is absolutely worth staying where we are.

We do YVE simply for location. Older style but can’t beat the location and usually cheaper.

So, first question… yes 2 for each person 2nd question typically it’s one appetizer, soup or salad, main course, and desert. 3rd is yes 120 days out can start booking reservations. At 21 days you can complete check in and also book entertainment options

Go down the elevator and puts you right across from the entrance to the terminal

Cruising in the Haven in april on Joy, we have cruise Haven several times and yet to try the American Diner, we may this time just because it is free.

Last March on the Breakaway during the middle of the day a man jumped off the ship from the Spice H20...very sad....its code Oscar by the way.

I haven’t been since last March, but will be on in April and glad to let you know what we think. Will be our 3rd haven suite so can compare our experiences,, also we are on the joy

We are on the joy in April in the Haven this may be a must order if possible lol

Havent been on the Pearl, but Ultra is most likely the most popular beer on ships. On breakaway it was on all of them

Well wife and I are pretty simple, Bloody Mary’s from Haven bar in Morning, Miami Vice on pool deck to start, then switch to Mich Ultra for the afternoon and at night the wife goes with Tito’s neat and I switch to whiskey sours

1st Haven I won through bidding, now i cant go back...wife now calls me high maintenance lol
