I am loving this review!!!!! As big cruise drinkers, we are loving this perspective. We have a spare couch in our 2 bedroom Haven suite in September if you and your gf need to up the game. LOL

Ah!! The habitual complainers are still here in the new year. Welcome back. Or, please go to the RCCL or Princess or Celebrity line thread of your choice. If you find a cheaper cruise, including specialty restaurants, and your drinks, BUY IT. I doubt you will.

Not complaining from this NCL girl, just making an observation.:cool:

Silly question. What are the German beers currently do they have? Schofferhofer wouldn't happen to be one, would it?

Too bad it is costing more to "feel free" these days..... This new slogan is going to go the way of Comcastic did for Comcast unfortunately...... You can't add all kinds of surcharges like they did then use the slogan feel free. That is just begging for backlash.

TO the OP that will probably never be back the the Norwegian CC board..... Here is my advise to you: Will things go wrong on vacation? YES. Will everything meet your expectations ALL the time? NO. You can either do one of two things. Accept the fact that you are on vacation, smile, say a kind word and find that the people serving you will smile back and try a little harder to make your day better too. (Granted sometimes they are having a bad day too and you may need to try a little harder to make their day better.) Or You can wake up on your vacation, piss in your corn flakes, pout, sulk, tell everyone how much they suck and pass on your bad mood to everyone you see. The choice is yours but remember, we get back what we give so choose wisely, kindness or bitterness. The choice is yours.

I believe some of the 2 bedroom Haven suites convert to a double bed instead of bunk beds. At least that is what our cruise consultant told us, as we are sailing with 2 couples in a 2 bedroom Haven suite next September. Otherwise, our vacation with involve my husband and I fighting over the top bunk. :) LOL!

People on vacation tend to drink more than at home. This may lead to a night or two of having to much to drink and letting the booze get the best of you. You say you have a weekly bar tab at home, well you are an experienced drinker and know when enough is enough. A lot of people save for a cruise and when that week comes, they will "let loose" and unwind on a well deserved break from work or other stresses of home.

 

I personally do not care when I see a bunch of people young or old having a good time. When I see the young ones chugging it brings back memories of when I did the same thing. A chug chant is fine as long as it does not go on forever. After all a bar is a place to have fun, laugh and enjoy company.

 

As far as someone throwing up in a bathroom, I would say "boy I am glad he at least made in there and did not throw up in public". I would then make sure he was ok, then move on to the next bathroom to do my business.

 

I like the UBP and have had it twice already and have one more cruise coming up with it. On my last cruise the second night I took advantage of it a little to much to the sound of 19 drink receipts in my pocket the next morning. It happens to the best of us.

Same with us AND to the OP, it was ME Christmas treeing the buttons on the elevators, not my son. :D

You also can ask to be reassigned. We lost our cruise consultant when he left the company to become a life couch and had to ask to be reassigned because us and the couple we do all our cruising with ended up with different consultants. It was a super easy fix.

OMG yes!!!! It os such a laid back ship!

I will call NCL once we get a new cruise consultant assigned to us. Our beloved Scott left the company for a new exciting adventure. And asubaru, I don't mind sharing a full size bed with my hubs. I kind of like him.... Lol

Next September, my hubby, myself, our best friends will be sailing on the Escape in the Haven 2 bedroom villa. My question is the beds in the second bedroom just bunk beds or is a double bed an option? Dear Hubs and I drew the short straw and want to know if we have to bunk it or not. :D If we do, I call the top bunk!!!!:p

So close to all of the finish work and finally getting to see this beauty revealed. I just wish I didn't have to wait a year to be onboard.

The middle one looks like O'Sheenans or whatever they will call it....:rolleyes:

Thank you so much!!!!! Please let me know when you get back from the BA. It is a fantastic ship. I was on the maiden voyage from NYC to Bermuda. It was so much fun.

We will be going on the Escape in September 2016 and have been doing the daily dreaming. With the rumor of the noodle bar going complimentary, we were wondering if anyone know if they have gluten free options at this eatery. We have never eaten here in our previous cruises before. Thanks!

The one thing I did not see mention but is very important. Do not wait to contact the help desk to let them know about your allergy. You want to notify them as soon as possible so they can properly order the required stuff ahead of time. We notified them about 3 months out. The first time it was only a couple of weeks and some of the things weren't as readily available (but that was in like 2011).

This trip, we are flying into FLL, renting a car for 1 night, $35 through BJ's Wholesale club travel, staying at Holiday Inn across from the marketplace then returning the car at MIA. The car rental place has a shuttle that runs right to the port. To get back to FLL, we are booked out transportation through NCL for $25 pp. This past September we did the same thing with great results (7 adults, 1 teenager and all our luggage squished into a minivan for $50 for one night rental Thank goodness for stow and go seating. Those compartment sure came in handy.) Thank you Thrifty and this time Dollar. :D

We saw it on a Facebook group. Somebody must have gotten there ships confused. Thanks guys!!!! :)

Does anyone know more about the Breakaway being down an engine and stopping in Puerto Rico?

Well. You will find out. I hope for your sake it works.

I am curious if you have had the blood test to figure out if you are allergic or if you have a sensitivity. Otherwise it would really sicko find out you allergic the hard way. In fact, even it is a sensitivity, if you haven't had it in a year, your body will more likely have an extremely had time processing it.

You also wouldn't find out that you are not one of those people. If your are truly allergic to gluten then it will not matter how they mill the wheat, it will still have gluten, therefore be an issue. I would not be willing to risk it. I also know for a fact my best friend was never lacking for delicious food.

You call the number, have your reservation flagged, then once you are on the ship just inform your server and they send the matre de over to review the menu with you and take your order. It is awesome.

You are going to want to contact NCL now regarding your allergy. Don't wait until you get on the ship. There is a special number to call and they will make sure that your info gets into the system and your reservation is flagged with an allergy. I speak form experience. Last cruise of the 6 of us traveling we had 1 gluten allergy, 2 dairy allergies and a pineapple allergy. This trip we are even throwing a shrimp allergy into the mix too.
