Cram everything you can into a plastic bag first and sit on it cram more then put in paper bag they give you! Works well! Also if you befriend a Platinum member who isn’t using the free bag you might get lucky. My wife won’t trust the laundry but I always come home with clean clothes, other than that pesky little tag that they put on most pieces of laundry

UK 🇬🇧 Folks get great deals on drinks package though. To compete with Pand O cruise 🚢 lines! Plus to get them over here.

I think I read that Starbucks is included. I’m gonna try next time but loaded on your individual card so my wife doesn’t drink and I use hers separately.

Not sure boomer here! But an old timer told me he and his girlfriend take separate ones on formal night! For their obituary! So I’ve been doing same. A nice current picture if God forbid you pass away

Back in 2016 boat protest kept ships out! Take a walk further up the hill behind vendors to the more aggressive vendors. Definitely feel their anger

Recently onboard getaway food was okay, nothing was a wow something’s just not right. MDR was average. Specialty 3 Cagney good! Ocean blue yuck. Osheans pub decent American dinner okay Buffet to be avoided. So we actually lost weight. Took stairs. Dancing with 20,000 steps every day and night. 2 comics see em once and done. But the live music was amazing Latin duo in mojitos bar and dancing with some folks who we enjoyed on previous cruise was priceless. Piano guy did country music and line dancing to him. Cutterz band was outstanding with reggae and rock. Even dj was great. So this is why we still love NCL. Plus the excellent activities staff with Alex Stenko, theme parties in Bliss lounge and spice H20. great times

Gangs trying to overtake the airport recently. I remember a few years ago a boat protesting preventing ships from entering Labadee maybe 2016 just before we actually went there. Seems like the current situation is getting worse. Love the place. Anyone know from recent trips there? How was it?

we used to bring the little battery operated tea lights for inside cabin still for balcony and help seeing the way to the bathroom 🚽 at night Boooomer! Here….

NCL still has best activities staff live music and dancing opportunities! Post pandemic we loved the Getaway once in 2023 and again in 2024 RCL adventure once and very little activity and silent disco and karaoke can’t stand that. But on Getaway 20,000 steps dancing each and every day/night dancing to Latin duo in mojitos bar, country music by piano guy with line dancing, cuterez regae band, theme parties with Alex Stenko the assistant cruise director and a whole activity staff keeping us busy, Zumba type class freeeeee! Food was average but we didn’t gain any weight. If my wife is happy I’m happy…..yes shorts are worn in dining room including Cagney so I’ve retired my suit as I looked like I worked there, ha ha

We’ve been cruising for over 29 years and over 50 cruises and many were inside, hardly ever in the room but now we do get balcony or ocean views often. Makes it better when sickness onboard as post pandemic travel seems more problematic than before. $300.00 would make sense. Sometimes certain websites include free gratuity with balconies, just got off getaway and had a balcony included free tips! Bjs club booking like costco

Burn the floor performance in Tropicana was on 2 different nights towards end of cruise, dancing class with them once towards end! Zumba type class was on sea days and later port days freeeee! in Bliss lounge or by pool check your schedule and highlight it or you miss out.

Thanks 🙏

Just off the Getaway and Alex Stenko the assistant cruise director was outstanding! Everyone agreed as he got the parties started and kept em going!

Love that little guy Jeff Hernandez and enjoyed him on Gem a few years ago. Just a nice guy and very personable. Plus he did a killer Zumba class.such a great time

Thanks! Was there a lot of activities like Zumba and live bands with dancing opportunities? Thanks in advance..
