We always knew these kind of people smell bad, now it appears their bouquet may be killing us!!

They would be a little less then the alcoholic equivalent, probably not by much though. One time back on the Norwegian wind my Sons virgin drink bill was as much as mine beer tab.

We did the North Sea cruise on the Star last October, the nav channel was in bad shape then.

O'Sheehan's IS the next generation Blue Lagoon.

Ok now I understand, thank you for that. You have to give us seniors a little time to catch up.

O'Sheehan's is being expanded to the entire Norwegian fleet. Everyone is expecting that is will consume the entire Deck 8 space surrounding the atrium on the Dawn and Jewel class ships. This should be a good thing. :D

If this is the case where will the blue lagoon be located ?

I just checked the UDP for our 10 day and it is $204.97, and $122.57 for the 7 day. No mention of a bottle of wine! I think we may just book on board for the restaurants we want. There is nothing wrong with the MDR, we eat there about 1/2 the time anyway.

It does look a little odd for sure. Along with the fact most of us senior types wear glasses and can get a distorted view of things especially when navigating stairs.

We have cruised on the Sun before and are again in November. We usually go for deck 9. I would not pick a cabin under any kitchen or other busy area.

We are Julie fans here too. We cruised with her twice in 2011 - both times on the Pearl. She was very friendly.

 

When we would pass her on the pier, hallway, dining place - it didn't matter. She always stopped to talk & hug our DDs.

That is the Julie I remember, no idea where she is now, we met her on the Pearl a month ago though.

Genset isn't going to cut it since it has an internal combustion engine and fuel is restricted. Batteries with an inverter will work, just a matter of how much you want to carry. Solar works great as long as you have long exposure. Insolation is well over 500 Langleys in the tropics at high noon. Of course if you're on a forward balcony SWECS (wind power) would probably prevail over the efficiency of solar when its inconvenience is factored in. Of course you were kidding. Right? :D

I had not thought about the fuel, wonder if we could possibly take advantage of second hand smoke and devise a way to run our gen set on that! :rolleyes:

You could of course pack a gen set, run it on the balcony, or a bank of batteries, an inverter and solar power. How much electronic stuff does a person need on holiday???

and have the butler bring us dinner.

 

Some kids can handle nice meals, others can't. Same as adults. My in-laws wouldn't have the faintest clue how to behave at Cagney's (nor would they even try Indian food). If you feel the need to avoid us at dinner because our toddler is with us, so be it, but our child will behave or be gone.

I really like that attitude, we brought up three kids and we always respected the folks around us. Ours were certainly not angels all the time, (three boys?).

:confused:

I'm another vote for Why dine at Cagney's with children?

 

I love all the parents that come on here and say that there kids are the best, well behaved blah blah blah.

Out of all our cruises and can count on one finger the number of times I have gone to dinner and seen well behaved kids in the specialty restaurants, so I guess what parents are saying on here is that it's perfectly fine for their well behaved child to have a melt down. JMO

If there was a kids section I can see no problem. I am not so sure I would have the dining experience I planned if there were young children misbehaving at the next table. Sure, some parents would think their child’s behavior normal, while other patrons are thinking they are the family from hell. It is not unusual for the dad to give mom the evil eye and she ends up taking the child out.

Understood, it is a good to teach children how to behave in public unfortunately it should not be at the expense of others, and possibly Cagney’s is not the ideal restaurant to start out. We all think our children are well behaved, it is the responsibly of the parent to remove the child should he/she effect the ambiance.

We are all too polite and would sit tight, grin and bear the intrusion, rather than just leave or ask for another table.

I have, on a number of occasion’s complemented parents of well behaved children when leaving the dining room or restaurants. My comment usually consists of “you have a very nice family there”. I would hesitant in taking our grandkids into a fine restaurant, who knows when a minor meltdown can happen?

I would think if you re-book within 9 months you should not get them. We just re-booked and I do not expect to get the extra points. Can't have it both ways. In my humble opinion!

I think we have all bought vladimir a beverage or two.

It is worth trying the local beers on the POA. The Coconut Porter is quite good, only needed a couple though as it was a little heavy for me.
