I wonder if Dorian wreaked enough havoc so the Gem couldn’t dock. The current weather is fine and seas don’t look too bad.
Halifax had some bad damage and many without power !!!

@jaja...I would agree with your assessment 100%.
The uncomfortable part, at least at the Grand Pacific on the Gem, is that you have to walk past the line of already upset people to get to the hostess.
And the reason the people are upset is because they make reservations online for the Grand Pacific, only to find out that it’s really a first-come first-served restaurant. A situation that would be easily remedied by stating online that reservations for that restaurant are not available. I can honestly say that the only place I’ve ever seen people genuinely angry is on the Grand Pacific line on a busy night.
I hear ya !! But the times I was asked to step aside I actually did not walk past the line..but rather the hostess at top..kind of sent me down..almost like I had people already waiting for me in DR. I do not know why this happened..but after a few days, I guess they knew me very well...as I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner there !
AND I totally agree they MUST stop saying you can book online for the MDR. It causes so much confusion and problems onboard!

On my last few cruises, as a Platinum Plus sailing solo, it seemed I was treated very well in MDRs. Though nothing was ever said by me or hostess, I was always given a great table when available and twice it seemed I was seated faster than others when there was a line (not given a beeper, but rather asked to step aside and seated quickly).

Gem is underway.
20’ + following seas offshore should make for a memorable ride.😐
Yes indeed. The north Atlantic is not always at it's best this time of year and this storm will not help at all !!!!! It will be interesting to hear some reports !
-
I stopped going to the Lattitudes parties a few cruises ago. They were very crowded making it very hard to get a drink or snack. .And really nothing of interest was said or done ! Plus I believe they started to cut the time down...to 45 minutes (which was almost as long as I waited outside the venue to get it !!! LOL)?
Hoping any changes will be good. !

I say leave the curmudgeon home.
Commit to it and plan on having a great time discovering yourself on your own and with fresh, new strangers.
If he decides he misses you he can prove how much by booking a flight and meeting you at one of the stops.
Yup !!!! Go and enjoy. Last few cruises, DH didn't want to go...so I went !!! Loved it !!!!

GG..so glad you are home safe. I agree with your view on the NCL corporate handling of this. It is surely time for a change at the top !!! Try to enjoy the rest of your day.

NCL hung up on me again while I was on hold. Called the same number back...800-327-7030. Message says the call can not be completed.
When I think NCL can’t possibly be more inept, they prove me wrong!
GG--I feel so very sorry for you.....
-
I feel so bad for all who are on board and for those who were looking forward to tomorrow's cruise.
And I hope everyone makes it home safely.....

FYI--The Hurricane Notices on top NCL site is gone... being updated ????
-
Yes..I can believe it. And unfortunately this scenario will be repeated on many cruise ships over the next days.
While I surely can understand the anxiety and stress of the passengers, common sense would dictate that NCL is not at fault for any of this.

Our first cruise , over a decade ago, was to Alaska. Only saw killer wales in the far distance, but did see eagles, seals, otters, and a bear catching a salmon ! (PS- it was salmon "season" and the small streams were "frothing" with the salmon activity !)

Sometimes yes..sometimes no 😉. Really depends on bartender !

Thanks for posting !!!! Love to hear such nice comments !😁

Sporadic results in timing . But this last time , I received within 5 days!

Good to hear and glad you posted !!

I thank you for your review and the especially poignant description of the 911 memorial. I live in northern New Jersey, and will never forget the anguish of that day. I have yet to cross the river and visit the site, it is still way too painful.
On my cruises out of NYC since, all I can do is cry as we pass the Freedom Tower remembering what was once there.

I love to enjoy a sit down meal upon arrival and be able to relax with food and drink !! I go to the MDR (it is the aft one as already mentioned. ). It is quiet and usually not crowded.

I just took a photo of the shore excursion screen with my cell phone. Since I will have my phone on the cruise I can just show them on my phone. I also forwarded the photo to my email account and printed out a paper copy just in case I accidently delete it from my phone.
Thanks !!!!

Not really.... the cruise line doesn't want to bring up "negative publicity" by bringing it up, and the family doesn't want to bring it up because they know they will be found to be in the wrong with all their claims of negligence against the cruise line, should anyone publicize the actual facts of the situation.I agree !!

We were aware of the suggestion to take a screen shot of our tour price at time of booking and are very glad we did.
I feel so silly...but how does one do a screen shot of a page??
Teppanyaki with food allergies
in Norwegian Cruise Line
Posted
My DH has a shrimp allergy. When we went to Teppanyaki the hostess asked us first before we even said anything. When the chef came out..he knew already and clarified with my DH. It was not a problem for us .
