well we are getting close. if I had to be on deck 14 it was a good location. If I was doing the redular thing and picking a cabin I would t of picked deck 14. This was a last minute thing. My daughter and granddaughter will be on deck 9. BTW how can you tell where the empty cabins are.

Supposedly this was an upgrade already. Deck 14. I am very satisfied with lower decks. My favorite deck on breakaway and getaway is deck 8.

Breakaway Jan 8

I booked a sail away balcony recently. After a few days I got my cabin number. Did my check in Saturday night and nothing had a number on it. Found out inventory dept had blocked that cabin. So now I wait for new assignment. Must of been a real disaster if it was blocked for maintenance. We don’t sail till January 8th. just glad to know I am not nuts and I did actually see a cabin number at one point.

I waited up last night and did online check in on iPad. We are central time here so it was 11:01 for us to check in. I dont see well at night so i had written my passport number with a marker on paper. After spending 15 minutes to download a very good photo of myself i finally read it said no photo with glasses. Then spent another 30 mins trying to take a picture with iPad and it would never except it. Finally turned the iPad sideways and first shot it was. Done. Horrible picture in my pj’s and no makeup…..but who cares that was my last step and it was done. good luck

Keep in mind St.Thomas is considered US

Thanks for heads up. I just wonder how they sale computers these days with phone technology the way it is.

I use my iPhone and iPad for everything. My laptop just sits on the desk. Has anyone been successful in doing the online check in from phone or iPad. My printer is paired with these. I know occasionally for some things only a PC will work. i remember last cruse i had my info on my phone and didnt even print it up.

This is pure speculation so dont hold me to it. We have stayed several times in 12028. The reading i didnt book the 12030 is that bump out, also the one next to it 12032 has bump out. Since we just had a wall of window i thought it might block our view. I know now that would probably not be an issue. So that is why i didnt book it.

3 years ago my son had a brain aneurysm about a week before a cruise. I immediately called my lady at NCL. To tell the truth i was shocked my grown son having a medical crisis qualified me for an insurance refund. NCL immediately refunded me their part (tips,taxes,etc) she sent me the insurance form over email. The hospital printed it up and they properly filled it out and doctor did his part and signed. I sent it to insurance and almost immediately i had a check. Keep in mind i had everything correctly filled out.it isn’t always getting the form done correctly. I had a scatter brained nurse mess it up twice. I ended up going to medical records where they did it. I was able to track down the doctor. All the while my son was still in hospital.\

My life has been so easy since I discovered packing cubes. (Many many years ago) I alway figure if my luggage were to be opened the packing cubes would save the day. I also use one for o er the counter meds and one for odds and ends (Lysol, hand wipes, sun block, mosquito spray,etc)

On my upcoming cruise the only difference between sail away and regular balcony was 50.00 so taking away the drink package…..do the math.

Great and hope it is still that way Jan 8th thanks

So is NCL back to doing the real drill thing? I saw a picture somewhere that had people lined up outside. Our last 4 or so cruises we gathered in the theater not outside. Maybe that is just where our location was for our cabin (theater) will be on deck 14 on breakaway so goodness knows where it will be. Never been up this high before.

I would go for family balcony. We have sailed in the family suites at lease 3 times and loved it . I have heard over and over the forward facing balconies can get pretty windy.

I’m guess we sailed in suites most of the time and that is what I was thinking about. we probably want do carry on so we will be hands free after all.

NCL use to allow platinum passengers early access to cabin for dropping g off luggage. It has been 2 years since I have cruised and wonder if that is still happening.

Look at the itinerary and right beside the time in port it has tender port for our jan8-15 breakaway cruise for roatan and Cozumel

Great news. I have mobility issues and I freak out getting on and off the tender. have fun!

Hopefully we will be docked and the tender is a maybe. lol it is in very small print but it is there to read. looks like it was an eye opener for a few other people.

I just noticed our cruise has tender port for Roatan & Cozumel. I have to say for close to trips to Cozumel we only tendered once. That was with carnival. Best i remember Roatan only accommodates two ships. Is 2 of the 4 ports being tender rare.

No just trying to book dining room on different nights

I was able to make two dinner reservations today. Later on I wanted to finish up and the app seems to be messed up. Is that a common thing. It lets me add to my cart yet when I try to check out says nothing in my cart. guess if it is still like this tomorrow I will just have to call.

On embarkation day is O’Sheehans usually open for lunch after boarding the ship.

Thank you I believe it use to be like 4.95 so with inflation that sounds right
