Portland has a drydock facility that has been used before for other ships and other cruise lines. If the ship can not fit there, i wont be surprised if they use another heavy lift vessel like what they used for the vista many years ago

noticed the same thing for my cruise next year. with this "sale" i am only saving only 10 dollars or less

i am also sailing tomorrow on the escape too. Bermuda weather does not look that bad, some wind and some rain

The website is very clear what happens when you cancel: https://help.carnival.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/3401/~/i-need-to-cancel-my-booking%2C-is-there-a-penalty%3F

in true royal fashion, royal raised the prices by about 15-20 dollars making the discounted black friday sale roughly the same price as yesterday, only difference is around 5-10 dollars. its a decent sale. there is only a few excursions that is truly 50% off

there is no tax on bids. it could be currency exchange issue like from GBP to USD depending on your location and booking

carnival does this with their mtd/your time dinning and its amazing. i wish all cruise lines have it

here is the page: https://www.stockperks.com/carnivalcorp i can not find any information about this on carnival corporation website about this it seems all this app does it collects your info and then forwards it to carnival, kind of like a middle man

yes it is available and yes you need to go to the shore excursion desk

its not a deck chair, i noticed a few ships have two wooden benches to sit down

yes. both Royal and Norwegian have a standby line for those that do not have a reservation.then about 15 minutes before the show they let you in

on some ships i like deck 9/10 better since you can stand on top of the bridge and sometimes the bridge wing so you can look down the side of the ship

this image been posted around on social media for over a decade now or longer. its not new

off topic but Norwegian has the best carpet with the fishes on the carpet, the fish that is facing forward points to the forward end of the ship. very useful

it seems random. when i was on the escape a few weeks ago i got the terminal at around 1230 and was given a group 32 boarding card which is strange as i had priority boarding due to my status. as i made my way down the terminal to the waiting/boarding area they had made announcement about priority guests and boarding group 28 or some other random group. I joined the line to board the ship and handed in the boarding group card. It seems like they didnt check the card at all

my cruise next year only went down by about 10 dollars, no big price drop for me and for some odd reason a solo cabin is about 50 dollars more then a studio cabin

Havensight, always docks there

meal is horrible with a very very limited basic menu and show can be ok depending on whos playinig

that looks like a side dish and not an entree

muster station is on your boarding pass

you should of received a new cruise confirmation email. on the confirmation under promo codes look for NCLHBENE promo code

aft dinning room is any time dinning and the mid ship dinning room is early/late seating

the new solo cabin category will be fleet wide in 2024. you will need to book in a solo balcony to receive studio lounge access. if you booked a regular balcony, you will not have studio access. solo balcony have a cabin category of BT, you need this category to have lounge access

on all the cruises ive been on, i alway see a lot of rooms with a pineapple on it

its the same menu, the only difference is you are sharing a table with someone where as if you where to dine on your own, you will be with your own party
