We are looking at a cruise on Odyssey of the Seas. Suggestions needed for a cabin location that has a balcony and a walk-in shower (no tub because of mobility issues). Price range is optional. Also any other pro/con comments about Odyssey would be appreciated. TIA!

You have how much already invested in a cruise and he's worried about another $500? We always fly in a day before even during nice weather just for peace of mind and less stress.

Is Panama Canal transit view ok from balcony on Jewel?
barb65 replied to JennKach's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I have a suggestion that may help. When we did a Panama Canal cruise on NCL Pearl, we got up early in the morning the day of the transit and went to the Spinnaker Lounge (in the front of the ship) and had a bird's eye view of the transit. I also had a thermal spa pass and later I went to the Mandara Spa (also in the front of the ship) and sat on one of their loungers and had a great view of the transit. I looked at the Jewel deck plans and noticed they have a Spinnaker Lounge on Deck 13 and a Mandara Spa on Deck 12. Note: Mandara Spa passes must be purchased separately and are not included in the price of your cruise. Hope this helps. -
We're on the Prima to Bermuda for the May 2023 sailing. We love to sail on a new ship, plus their Mandara Spa looks awesome. We prefer a ship with the Mandara Spa. Joy doesn't have one. Love the layout of Prima. Can't wait to experience their theater and dining venues. Looking forward to Prima reviews.

I never ask my husband for his opinion on anything.😉 -
Will the 2022 Recession affect NCL cruise fares?
barb65 replied to DrSea's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
If I have to spend a little extra on a cruise, I tell my kids, "I'm spending your inheritance."🙂 -
We like Teppanyaki. Great food (if you like Japanese food) and the chefs are very entertaining while preparing your food.

What are some good seafood restaurant recommendations in Bermuda? Will be in Bermuda three days and would like to try a good local seafood restaurant one evening. Not concerned about location. TIA.

How much do you leave in cagneys for a tip with dining plan
barb65 replied to mamashamiller's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We usually tip $5 -$10 per person for specialty dining. Servers have always treated us like royalty, plus it puts a big smile on their face. -
What hotels/airlines give me double points on my NCL credit card
barb65 replied to barb65's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I checked the fine print again on the credit card details and it said any hotel using a certain category code would qualify for double points, but it didn't give a breakdown of which hotels. Maybe I'll just call their Worldwide toll free # and ask them. -

I didn't see anything. I'm new to this so I will check again. -
Where is a good place to stay pre-cruise out of New York City? We are from Pennsylvania and will be on I-80 (going east) that ends right before NYC. We booked a hotel in New Jersey off I-80, but there are mixed reviews for the hotel. Thanks in advance for all your suggestions.

Totally agree. Wish I had more $ to support my cruise addiction!🙂

I've never sailed in The Haven, but did a Panama Canal cruise. It was always at the top of my bucket list. You won't regret it.

Joy does not have a thermal spa if that's what you're looking for.

We also enjoy the extra space in the bathroom, but everyone has their own opinion. A few cruises ago we booked a club balcony for the first time. Now that's the only type of cabin we will book because of the bigger bathroom.

Semi-Live Norwegian Joy to Bermuda - Norfolk, VA - May 8, 2022
barb65 replied to mking8288's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Following closely since we will be on same itinerary on the new Prima in May 2023. Anxious to hear about the Norfolk stop. Still puzzled as to why Norfolk? -
Looking at an angled balcony cabin (10784) on Escape. If you've stayed in one of these cabins, is the balcony slightly larger than the other balcony cabins?
