Thanks for the link! Some of it sounds so tasty!

Great review! I LOVE the pics!!!! Keep 'em coming please!!!! :)

I am tormenting one of my vacation partners in crime with this list. I am sending her the list at work, one wine at a time. A little vacation evilness to pass the time.

Loving the review and my liver is feeling wildly jealous of your liver right now . :)

Giving NCL the proper notice will ensure a much wider variety of foods available to you. Also, on the first night, ask to speak with the head or assistant head maitre de in the main dining room and explain your allergy. They will might ask you to order your dinner the night before so they can make sure that is something they can prepare GF. At the buffet, if you speak to the staff there they usually can get you GF toast and such. Hope this helps. I travel with my friend who has Celiac Disease so I learned the ins and outs real fast.

Here is NCL's website info "If you have any food allergy or a dietary requirement that requires Kosher meals or gluten-free food product, please advise a Norwegian Reservations Agent, or your Travel Agent at the time of booking. Obtaining the product for many of these requests requires 30-days notice prior to sailing, and we want to ensure that we are able to fulfill your request. We cannot guarantee Kosher Meal requests made within 30 days of sail date. For the protection of all of our guests, it is not permissible to bring aboard any food items that would require preparation by the ship’s staff, or food items that would require cold storage in our kitchen facilities." I will go further to say, contact the help desk at NCL at the same time too just to ensure that you will have a successful and enjoyable experience. "In order to make your cruise experience as enjoyable as possible and so that we can try to meet your specific needs, call (866) 787-3935 (voice), fax (305) 468-2171, send an email to accessdesk@ncl."

Great review so far. Thank you!

Checking in here at my desk to say I am looking forward to your review. I would pretend that I will not check this while I am at work, but I wouldn't be fooling anyone, so instead I will say that I am reading this while "waiting for my files to copy and process". Yeah, that's it. :) Have a blast!

Uh huh, I saw that too! I'm thinking they could have just filled up the ship with whatever space was available. I'm wondering if NCL is using the other days for the grand opening of Harvest Caye.

 

Oh well... in the end it just gives me more time to get more NCL credit card reward points to cash in towards the cruise. My revenge to NCL is paying very little out of pocket for the cruise. :D

Hahaha!!!! More reward points for another vacation is ALWAYS a bonus!!!! :D:D:D

The real kicker is they only chartered the boat for 3 days. The promo file I saw listed the sail dates from Nov 5-8....

I know who chartered the ship. It is a company called It Works. I am friends with a couple of people that are sellers of their products and the have posted about it. It is a promotional thing for their employees. The company is calling it the "It Works cruise takeover".

Ha, this really made me LOL. Just remember - you can see a lot from Deck 18!! Have a great cruise!

Hahahahaha My friend's and my husbands will be very disappointed. We'll be on the wrong side of the ship for the FKK witnessing. Hahaha[emoji12]

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this review!!!! I felt like I was right there (in a non-intrusional, non-FKK sun deck gazing) way!!!!! It makes me even more excited for our Haven trip to hurry up and get here already. :D

I so can't believe that there is even such a thing as a furry cruise!!!!!! My son is going to laugh his butt off when I show him this!!!!! I am really sorry to all the peeps left dangling in the wind by NCL. It would be nice if they had it a little bit more together to be able to keep the already booked passengers in the know.

I did have a friend that was on an Alaskan cruise and half the ship was a almost charter sized group of tourists. Maybe it was something like that. On the down side my friend had a miserable experience that week because the way too large group got far more attention and clogged up a lot of the public spaces. They ended up calling NCL after it was so bad.

Sorry. My bad, must have been looking at 2017. I guess the folks on that sailing may be getting the boot then. I might suggest giving them a call and see if someone at NCL can find out. In any case, it might alleviate the OP's unhappiness with their assigned guaranteed room. Sorry.

Just went over to NCL.com and was able to do a mock booking for the week of Nov 4th- 11th, 2016 on the Escape with no issues...

I think I have enough time before our cruise to find both the chain mail dress AND the male counter part the dougout found! Wooo hooo!

Sorry it is your last sea day. I hope it is a most excellent one!!!!

My deepest sympathies on your loss. Thank you for sharing your story. It warms my heart to know that the Norwegian crew took such wonderful care of you in your time of need.

Our female partner in crime will be interested in the double pour wine theory. :)

Thanks for the review!!! I am SO ready to check this ship out myself!!!! I wish I was on it today instead of snowy New England. Stupid snow is making me feel like 2 months got tacked onto my countdown.

I am glad that your daughter was able to have a great experience. :) I know the Sky is the old lady in the fleet but I have had great experience on board. (Not to mention that it is nice to be on a more intimate sized ship every once in a while.)

Looks like Frontier redesigned the tray too. It looks like balancing a snack or a beverage on that thing requires a bit of skill!
