Need and want are completely different things.

They most certainly are. I question the poster (whom you responded to) as to what makes him think he knows everyones' needs? Personally, I need a gallon of water and my CPAP machine. That adds up to about 17 pounds right there. I bring my own snorkeling gear too. All that makes a bag well past 20 pounds without clothes and shoes in them. If I were a diver, I can only imagine what some of their gear weighs. Off hand, I see a "need" for a diver to bring some of this stuff.

I have a co-worker who has terrible food allergies. When he travels he takes cans and cans of food with him that he knows he can eat. He would do the same if cruising. That stuff weighs a ton. I would hope though, that any cruiseline could waive the restriction for someone with that type of problem.

I'm not sure why most pax would need more than 1 med-large suitcase and 1 carry-on with NCL, especially with NCL's casual dress code.

Terry takes 5 suitcases. ;)

Wife and I just went on the SKY. Suitcases went to the POM porters, and we went to security with our carry ons. I saw no evidence that porters were telling the security screeners how many suitcases we brought. I *assume* it means two suitcases and one carry on.

You know, writing up a policy like that is the simplest thing in the world. It amazes me that NCL writes it in such a way that it can be confused..

Big steve,

 

Btw , craps odds bet was like 20 or 25 times. table was real cold while I was there .

Thanks for your update.

Absolutely.............Helps when joining or reaffirming your membership in the 'balcony club'................;)

:D

Never made it in the "mile high club." Maybe I can talk my wife into joining the balcony club.

She's very modest. It's doubtful.......... :mad:

We cruised on the Freedom, and the balcony dividers are translucent. They are also easily peeked around. Little kids are notorious for being peeker-arounders, and their parents probably don't want them getting an eyeful.

 

My boys are grown now, but I do know what it's like to have young children. While I think someone sunbathing nude should not do so if they don't have decent privacy, I can not think of a single instance where it is excuseable for a child to go around peeking either. Parents have to teach their kids to not do that. And they also have to expect their kids on occasion to be just too curious, mischeivous or stubborn to obey. If my boys would have peeked around the divider, I would have punished them, and appologized profusly to the folks on the next balcony.

If there were no privacy between the balconys, I suppose I would have tried to ask the folks next door if they knew when they wanted to do that, so we could leave. But generally that just gets you told where to go, in no uncertain terms.

If your balcony isn't very private, IMHO, you should not be nude out there. However, if you have walls between you and the next balcony, and one can not see easily from above and below, I say "go for it."

If someone is going to lean way out, or over, or down, to peek in your balcony, I say, THEY are the problem, not you. If they peek, smile nicely.

We will be there on a Tuseday in April, during the day time. Does anyone know what the table minimums are for Craps and Blackjack? Are the slots "Reel" slots like in Las Vegas? Can you find 25 cents slot machines?
