General NCL Questions - never been on a NCL cruise
Elvis1209 replied to cruzbound's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Technically, it is every 15 minutes. But I have never seen that enforced if you are sitting and drinking at a bar. But, "legally" you can get 24 hours * 15 minutes * 2 drinks = 196 drinks a day. Only 196 drinks a day? I want my money back!!!!! Elvis -
It's obvious! Cagney's has better steak and Ocean Blue has better seafood. If I was you, I'd go to both! Elvis

2023 Where are they now? Officers & crew.
Elvis1209 replied to casofilia's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Can anyone post the officers and the Haven bartenders for Escape? Elvis -
Let me set the scene. The Haven Lounge on Breakaway, March 2022. I was sitting at the bar with Priscilla, my wife when I noticed the bottle of Louis XIII Cognac on display. I told her that just once in my life I have to taste it. I have to see what makes it worth all the money. Her answer to me was "Why not tonight?" I told her that it was very cruel to joke about such a thing. She said that she wasn't joking and that if I wanted to try it, I should get it! Never have I loved her more that at that particular moment. I placed my order with Sergio, our bartender. He put on white gloves and served it to me in a crystal glass, on a silver tray, and instructed me on the proper way to drink it. (You don't just chug a cognac like Louis XIII!) If you are not a cognac drinker you won't understand this. It was a religious experience! It warmed me from the tips of my toes to the top of my head! And the taste stayed with me for over an hour. I even put off smoking my evening cigar because I didn't want to spoil that flavor! It was at that moment that I realized what "Living the good life" was all about! I'm cruising in The Haven again in September, on Escape and hope to repeat the experience! Elvis

Tell your dad that the secret to birthdays is to keep on having them! That was wisdom passed down to me by my dad! He also told me that there's nothing wrong with getting old so long as you keep getting older! He lived to the age of 95! Elvis

Strange Bar Closings on Equinox Today in Grand Cayman
Elvis1209 replied to helen haywood's topic in Celebrity Cruises
Just wanted to get my 2 cents into this. A few years back I went to Grand Caymen for a diving vacation. The diving was awesome! However, if you're not diving, there is nothing to do in Grand Caymen other than to eat or drink! Elvis -
It's the latest thing! I have a cruise coming up that starts in Omaha, goes to Laramie, Fargo, and ends in Las Vegas! And if that wasn't enough, we are in the Haven! Elvis

Thank you for your service sir! Enjoy your well-earned cruise! Elvis

Muster drills to return to pre-Covid style
Elvis1209 replied to MeHeartCruising's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
What he said!!! Elvis Chief, you are never going to convince the naysayers of the importance of the drill. You and I should meet up at the muster station in the event of an emergency. I have a flask! -

You mean even though I'm in The Haven I have to rub elbows with the riff-raff? What is this world coming to? Elvis -
# of days till your next Norwegian cruise?
Elvis1209 replied to Vettebuf's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
243 on Escape in The Haven! Good things are worth waiting for! Elvis -
Every cruise line will be more or less the same! Cutbacks are everywhere. I've got a Celebrity cruise coming up next month, so I'll let you know how they are. I usually stay late in the cigar lounge and like a little snack before I turn in. Except for O'Sheehan's there's no place to get a bite. I see you're from Long Island. May I ask where? I grew up in Oyster Bay. Elvis

I said I can't drink more than 2 without getting stupid! I didn't say I don't drink more than 2!!!!! Elvis

Usually there are waiters from the lounge that come out to the pool area to get you drinks! Elvis

As far as I'm concerned (and nobody should listen to me!) my favorite drink, hands down, is a Belvedere martini, very cold. very dry, straight up with three olives. with martinis you have to exhibit a little discipline. I find I can't drink more than two without getting stupid! Not drunk, mind you, stupid! On my last cruise on Breakaway, my wife treated me to a Louis XIII cognac. That was a religious experience!

Try Celebrity. No smoking throughout the whole ship! Elvis

Good duration for massage? - never had one before
Elvis1209 replied to industrious95's topic in Celebrity Cruises
I would recommend the hot stone massage. I don't think I could ever have a massage that was too long, only too short! Priscilla and I always have a couple's hot stone massage at the beginning of the cruise and one at the end. As for as the hard sell at the end, we just tell the Spa Manager we don't want one and we've never had a problem. Elvis -
Are you actually expecting people to take responsibility for their own children? Stop it! You're killing me! Elvis
