Well, not all at once of course lol. 😉 Maybe over the course of 25- or 32-nights, and spread the costs out a bit. We each treat ourselves in different ways on our own cruises. I did the same on my last cruise with Royal Caribbean, they have a lovely patisserie. It made for a charming treat.

Since it's another 11 months away and per @sfpd3000 Pier 35 should re-open after the dredge work, hoping Pier 30/32 is a last option. Per NCL we are there from 7am-9pm coming in from LA (and points south from the Panama Canal) then leaving for Astoria (and Alaska-bound).

I’m curious about April 2025 when the Norwegian Jade visits. Ruby Princess will be there on a turn-around day, will Pier 35 be where we go?

🤔 Any new news? Updates specifically on Norwegian Jade for March 2025? 😁

Note to self: bring Ziplock baggies.

I was watching the Norwegian Encore on Marine Traffic and on her bridge cam this morning, and once inside the Los Angeles Harbor breakwater she did a 180° pivot and backed all the way down the channel to Berth 92. Is this common for all cruise ships visiting San Pedro as a port of call? The Radiance of the Seas was on her turn-around day occupying the World Cruise Center.

Edit to add: didn't realize I was responding to a year old thread. 😳 Are these like the old-fashioned paper tags that they mailed to you? Or are these printable off of the website when you're checking in? 😁

It's been a while, but now that you've refreshed my memory I do remember. Had to enjoy that scene one more time...🤣

If you are already booked, then you should be able to go onto your reservation and see what shore tours are available, and which ones match your interests and budget. Keep in mind some of these can run upwards of $250-$500 a person and can sell out fast. What you can also do is use Google. In the search box enter something like "Top 10 things to do in Skagway". Some cities like Skagway, Juneau, and even Icy Strait will have at least a dozen or two different excursions. I've cruised Alaska 5x, and am booked next year on a back-to-back (two cruises one after another). My interests are most definitely going to be different than yours. Some of the shore excursions that I have already booked are ones that others wouldn't at all be interested in. 😁

🤣 we hope not. But I can say that I have yet to meet a Girl Scout cookie that I didn't like. A couple years back someone donated pallets full of cases of Girl Scout cookies to the VA hospital where I worked at, and they were randomly passed out to the veterans and employees. Also being a veteran, I ended up with 12 boxes of different cookies, just to show you how many were donated to the hospital. And of course shared them with my three coworkers in the office. 😁

Somehow I missed them this year, but my absolute favorites from them are Samoas.

Sigh. 🙄 He's scarfing down cookies all the while going 'nom nom nom" (which you can actually 'hear' since we are all familiar with the character). And I'll tell you what: a year from now I will report back when I'm on my 32-night 🚢 cruise and show you pictures of 🍪 cookies. And I will giggle and have a sense of humor while I am eating my 🍪 cookies going 'nom nom nom'. And I will specifically purchase a Sid stuffed animal and we will both enjoy 🍪 cookies together. And we will both laugh and laugh and laugh. 🤣 🤣 🤣 😎

Everyone knows it's the Cookie Monster. 🤣

Not Vibe-specific, but I watch the Live bridge cam yesterday all the way through to the glacier and it was a GORGEOUS day!!!

Actually, no it didn't. 😉 But since your post lacked a point of reference by quoting another post - which I assume you were alluding to the 'full plate of cookies left (discarded) in the hallway' - I went ahead and took the opportunity. Thank you for leaving the door open. 😎

I can honestly that say I've never had a thing for wicker, despite growing up in the south and having a 🥰 mom that loved everything wicker!

@skier05 here's the recent thread too

That's actually pretty cool! I don't suppose you get to keep the basket lol?

... and this picture recently posted by @OrcaGirl on a Live thread from Norwegian Epic

This was posted by @dhanakorn couple of weeks ago in another thread...

THANK YOU!!! for taking the time to post the Freestyle Daily and menus. Having never been on NCL this gives me sort of peek into what goes on during longer cruises. I'm now inclined to eat in the MDR every night and maybe only book additional specialty dining over the 2 free FAS once I get onboard.

Great explanation and link! THANK YOU! 👍 😁

Thanks. I looked at the entire page that lists the description and there are no terms and conditions, no asterisk, and no fine print. Other than calling the customer service number, and in all likelihood getting someone who has no clue, there are no other details.

If you're asking why a picture, to show waste as an issue. If we can post sightings and verifications of 'Cookies Found!' why not counter with examples showing full plates wasted, the reason not withstanding. All of the reports are saying corporate is using that as a main reason.

Now that too would have made an interesting picture. 😢 Curious, and I'm asking because I don't know these things on NCL, do they do this 'Afternoon Snack' offering in every casino? Or maybe just on the smaller Jewel-class, etc.? Is it listed in the daily program?
