Hello, Came back from my Bermuda cruise today. This was my second NCL cruise, the first one about 15 yrs ago. After the first one, I said I would not sail NCL but I took this cruise for the convenience of not having to fly and also I haven't been to Bermuda in about 15 yrs. Last time sailing on NCL. Not my cup of tea. Went to one specialty restaurant. I didn't find the food great but I think a lot of other lines are cutting back on food. There was a Legends show and I like this type of show. I enjoyed being in Bermuda going around the island. The Pearl is an older ship, although it was refurbished. Maybe the newer NCL ships are better. I'm sticking with Celebrity and RC.

Hi Lois, I take a 21 inch bag on my trips plus a lightweight tote for things like medications, cosmetics, small items that don't fit in the suitcase. I need a bag I can handle. I have different size totes depending on what doesn't go into the suitcase. Also if I'm taking a flight, I pack at least underwear and a top in case my suitcase is not at my destination. This size works for me whether I am cruising out of Florida or Boston or flying. I have done Alaska and British Isles with clothing for cooler climates and have had no problem. But everyone is different and I like to travel light. If you get laundry, you could send sleepwear, undies or tops you feel comfortable sending out. Also the way you pack can make a difference. Some people roll their clothes, double fold or put them in packing cubes. I bought some and will try these out next month.

Yes, I wore them on my cruise in January and plan to take them again this winter.

The weather can really vary at at the end of September. Living in NE all my life, there are warm days and more moderate temps. I see you live in MN so maybe you have the same type weather. I have taken many Canada/NE cruises at different months. I never packed heavy clothing or waterproof boots. I wear sneakers. Are you planning to be outdoors a lot? I usually consider the weather in my area and plan on it being slightly cooler. The best advice going anywhere is look at the extended forecast and you can get a good idea of what to expect and pack accordingly.

Hello Lois and Sherri, I will be sailing on NCL Pearl leaving on August 11. I have been on one NCL cruise years ago and wasn't too impressed. I hope they have improved. I am going NCL mainly for the convenience as I don't have to fly. I sail Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. I wanted to get in another cruise before the winter cruises begin.

When are you going?

Yes, they do. You should be able to just walk through. I am also going on Symphony in January.

Makeup removal and face cleansing: national differences
WELDON replied to shipgeeks's topic in Cruise Fashions & Beauty
My facial cleanser is Philosophy Purity Made Simple. Leaves my skin soft and doesn't feel dry after washing. When I wear eye makeup or foundation, I use Beekman cleansing cloths. Removes makeup easily, even stubborn mascara. The towelettes don't leave skin dry plus they smell great. I do the same thing as Mum 2 Mercury cutting tubes in half to remove product. I do this for my facial moisturizer and body butter/creams. I've been doing this for years. There is so much product in the tube that is wasted. -
Hi Lois, The only time I have been asked is if I'm in a discussion with others and we all talk about where our families came from. Never in a store by a cashier. I had an MD appt. this morning and had a cognitive test for the first time. I was given a piece of paper with a circle and had to show the clock hands for the time asked. I was also given 3 words and then had to repeat them after the clock drawing. Maybe this is something new this year for Medicare??

Hi Lois, Everything is very well marked, When I went on my British Isles cruise, I took a train to Paddington Station from Heathrow. I had no trouble following signage as to where to buy my ticket, where the trains depart, and when I arrived at Paddington, where to get a taxi. I stayed in London one night before the cruise. You should have no trouble if you follow signs to arrivals and baggage claim. Everything is very straightforward. As Cynthia mentioned, there is only one way to go.

Lois, The same thing happened to me when I returned from my cruise in January. I called my handyman and he used a tool that made the disposal work. It looks like an S shaped tool. He told me this can happen when a disposal isn't used. It worked like a charm. If your plumber doesn't try to reset (not sure of the term) your disposal and wants to sell you a new one, please mention your disposal wasn't used for a couple of weeks.
