Haha, thanks! We had no idea it was going to be in dry dock..I try to avoid the first sailing afterwards but here we are lol. The ship is also sold out, so let's see how this goes...either way, we will have a good time! Away from work and have the drink package 🙂

Same here!!! Was on once before in 2022 when they were supposed to be running it limited capacity. According to the cruise next guy, it was running full house. 

I noticed the Norwegian Sky is in dry dock in Freeport. 
 

Is this extensive work or just a routine docking?

just curious!!

Saw a video looked neat in time lapse.

Should we start to look at alternative cruise lines? Are they on the verge of going under?

Currently deciding whether we pull the plug and book her first 7 day sailing from the US on April 26th. So tempting.

I’m tempted. I sailed Prima last year and while it has its flaws, the Vibe beach club made up for it. 

Hopefully Aqua feels 10% bigger.

Wonder what their reasoning is for not allowing it?  You're going to give it to someone else?  You're going to decide you dont want it and just leave it somewhere?  It's part of your meal that you paid for (it's part of the specialty dining credit and should be included).   Just seems weird.  

It’s silly..you can’t bring the chocolate cake back from Cagney’s but you can order a chocolate cake on room service. I’m paying for both cakes.

The minuscule net profit barely scratches the costs incurred during the pandemic shutdown. A unfair shutdown that was not imposed on any other industry anywhere. 
 

Additional cut backs are forthcoming. Every department has their cost reductions quotas to meet. You have not seen the “new normal” yet. 
 

If you didn’t notice, NCLH stock tanked because they underperformed their projections. 

Are they going bankrupt?

Strange, we have been asked a few times if we wanted dessert to go? Maybe they had people waiting for our table and wanted us to leave 

 

 

Did they bring it out to your table and you tried to take it with you?

We were overly stuffed from dinner and asked if we could just take the desserts back with us to the room instead of eating them at the table. 
 

It seems like such a harmless request. 

Does NCL have a rule about bringing dessert back to the cabin from a specialty restaurant? I tried on a cruise last week and was told it wasn't allowed despite me doing this numerous times in the past.

Seems like a silly rule to me...

No hash browns on Bliss last week. Asked for them and the waiter was like "what?" like he never heard of hashbrowns before.
