 We would recommend aft wrap 7 . We spent 3 weeks in it and here's a video .

 

 

 

Thanks so much.  Video was very helpful.

No. The aft wraps interior is smaller than the standard Neptune. Mentioned that back in post #4.

You mentioned that it can be a bit smaller.  Was looking for someone who actually sailed in one to answer.  Thanks for the info.

Same ship, Had a Neptune suite last Caribbean cruise on deck 4. Was fabulous.   There was some machinery obstructing a tiny portion of view on starboard side where we were.  Have a deck 5 NS aft for the 14 day Alaska 5-19 May, with friends on beside starboard cabin.

Is the inside of the aft cabin the same size on decks 6 and 7 mid ship?

If you plan to be out on your balcony a lot taking in the sights, I would strongly recommend the aft-wrap NS.  You will have a 270 degree view from there.  You didn't say where you were going, but if it is a cold weather cruise, it will be a lot warmer sitting out facing the rear of the ship versus the sides due to a lot less wind.

Mexico cruise.  Are all the aft NS wrap arounds?

I suspect that is what will be happening to Bliss when she goes into Dry Dock in January 2025.

I cannot find any information on what exactly they are doing but a few crew from the Joy I spoke with this past week said they thought that was what they were doing to Bliss. She leaves out of Miami on January 4th for 13 days to Southampton and does not return till Feb 2, 2025 for a 13 day cruising that leave 17 days between when she arrives and when she leaves.

I am booked on the return and have booked air so hope all goes as planned. 

I heard the same news as the Encore will be the first ship to go into dry dock for the changes. The Bliss will be adding additional cabins on deck 15 OL. They will remove the Haven Library to expand the Owners Suite. There also will be some dining venue changes.

Looking to book my first Neptune Suite on N. Amsterdam. Is there any difference in the cabin size on decks 6 or 7? I see that the cabins on deck 7 are near the lounge. Also, I have a choice of aft cabins on decks 5, 6 or 7. Are these cabins larger inside or is the balcony huge? Trying to decide which one to pick. Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Happy Birthday Holland.  Enjoyed our cruises.

Thanks! Do you know which staterooms # are the new rooms? Were any of the other rooms refurbished?

Absolutely! Even though the website may state otherwise; the daily charge will be deducted from any non-refundable OBC first then will come from the refundable balance. You can see these amounts at the bottom of yoyr statement on your TV and in the Navigator App. 

Thanks

Can non refundable OBC be used to pay for the crew appreciation?

Happy New Year!!

Those that have received the Welcome Back OBC, does it show up under My Account as Credit ID #, $100 amount and booking date?

No it doesn’t, sorry.  Your TA should be able to tell though.  They have access to the activity.

Thanks.  If I call HAL can they tell me?

On my account it shows I have a $100 credit and also on DH's account.  How do I know if it's the Welcome Back OBC?  I had another issue on board and my TA informed me that HAL was giving us a credit of $100.  Does the Welcome back show anything to indicate this on my account?

Hey @BSR generally anywhere from a couple days to couple weeks. The statement is usually available sooner.

What statement are you referring to?  It doesn't show my last cruise in my history.

After completing a cruise, how long does it take for credits to show up in my account?

Thanks

Are the signature coffee drinks included with the HIA beverage package?

Barista's on the Regatta didn't have lids.

@Sthrngary thank you for your very detailed “word salad”. I have really enjoyed following your thoughts on your first O cruise as we will be doing our first in March next year. Hoping the experience on Regatta is as good as your Riviera cruise. Happy cruising!

We took our first O cruise a couple of months on the Regatta and enjoyed the experience on a new cruise line. We are booked again on O for next year.

We are also currently on Eurodam. Have met our stewards and had service twice a day in Signature Suite. Have not noticed a lack of cleanliness. One drawer front was unglued and stewards immediately took the drawer for repair.

What bathroom products were in the Signature Suite?  Do you get a robe and slippers?

Happy that your first O cruise has been wonderful. Ours was also last month.

Same here as we enjoyed our first time experience with O.
