Thank you for your responses. I was able to get the two day deviation without using their hotel. The confusion was because I’m leaving three days before but arriving two days before. Overnight flight from JFK TO BCN 

Barcelona Cruise 

I was told I can’t use the NCL airfare if I don’t use their pre stay hotel. I prefer Hotel 1898 on the Ramblas over their Hilton in the financial district. Plus the Hilton is double the price. I’d be leaving the same day either way. Has anyone experienced this?

Has anyone used NCL airfare but stayed in a hotel of your choice? 

Do any recent cruisers know if Symphony has a Pickleball court?  If so, what was the schedule. TIA

Just booked the Escape Room on the Harmony for $8.99 a person. Happy it was not $20, if it was probably would not do it. Must be cheaper to pre-book it then to book it onboard.

I pre booked for January 13 HOS at $20 per person. What sailing did you get for $8.99?

I booked for the Harmony January 13th cruise. I was disappointed I didn't get to do it on Anthem so I was glad to see it available online even at $20 per person. I've done a few on land (they've all been more than $20) and DH and I have never escaped. I chose a sea day at 10am because I didn't think we would be doing much else at that time.

Double balconies

 

10229, 10629

11229, 11629

12229, 12629

 

On Oasis and Allure he D lounge is on decks 11 and 12. On Harmony it is on deck 4. Wonderland is on 11 and 12.

Thank you!

Allure vs Harmony

Which cabins have the double balcony?

Which cabins would be closest to diamond lounge?

I think I've read deck 11 on Allure has Diamond lounge but not on Harmony.

Are there any cabins to avoid in the Central Park balconies?

Thanks in advance 😀

Best dining option was the wine pairings dinner at Vintages

Thank you for posting the live review! We're on same itinerary in January.

I pre purchased the four night dining package and am planning on Giovanni's, Chops Grille and Sabor. Do you know if the fourth night could be used for the wine pairing dinner in Vintages?

Thanks again and I'm looking forward to following. :)

We purchased the four night specialty dining package which we will use for Chops Grille, Giovanni's and Sabor. Chef's Table is not included in the package; rather than eat in one twice, does anyone know if it could be used in Vintages for a wine pairing dinner? Or at least a credit toward it? Are they still offering dinner in Vintages on FOS? Thanks in advance :)

We're on this itinerary in January 2017. Hope to see cruise compasses on here ahead of time; if not I will share mine in January.

Does the 4 night specialty dining package ($90 pp) include Chef's Table? There's Giovanni's, Chops Grille and Sabor. If the fourth night doesn't include Chef's Table, do you eat in one twice? Or stick with a three day?

If you are going to go the Verrazano route, make sure the Bayonne bridge is open. If you get to Staten Island and its closed, its way longer via Goethals/NJTPK/14A. If you are sure the BB is open, it would be easier than the HT.

Thank you!

From Long Island LIE exit 63.

On Saturday morning Verrazano or Holland Tunnel?

Any recent travelers thoughts or experiences?

Your cabin will be in a very convenient location! My parents had 8248 on our sailing and it was super close to the elevators but they never complained of any noise issues.

Biggest perk... the balcony is huge! All 6 of us could hang out on it comfortably with room to spare! We also hung a hammock for my Dad! :D Enjoy!

We have that cabin in October, thanks for the pictures! Can you tell me more about the hammock? It looks like a great idea !

Did you try the puzzle room? If so, how did you make the reservations?

Also, is North Star open the first day while in port?

Thank you for your review 😄

October 1 sailing has North Star, shows and dining available to book. No iFly yet.

What would happen to the rotation if we have the BOGO for specialty restaurants the first two nights? Which of the complimentary restaurants do they eliminate?

Have a great time! Looking forward to following the thread. 😄

We are not sun people either so the shade sounds lovely. The solarium is always my favorite spot on the ship. I agree with you on We Will Rock You. We saw it before and thought it was just ok so I would not see it again on the ship. Thanks for all the tips and info.

Hi there jc!! Yes its moi!!! So are you going to be in London again with your lovely wife?

 

We are booked on the Anthem on the 1st June. Not doing inaugurals or maidens any more. Too much uncertainty and poor service. Staff running around like blue a**** flies"!!!!;);)

 

We have booked cabin 8248 and hoping for a lovely balcony. Been sailing Celebrity Eclipse lately and love the hump balconies.

 

Let you all be guinea pigs on the maidens and inaugurals. Hope June 1st doesn't turn out to be one of those!!!:D:D

 

Lots of love to you both.

Hi, I was wondering how you liked cabin 8248 on Quantum/Anthem? Do you have pictures of re balcony? Was it a larger balcony as expected? Thanks in advance

The same cabin is available on deck 8. I switched it. I'm really after the bigger balcony. Where does the noise come from on deck 6?

Has anyone experienced noise in the cabins below The Living Room?

What time does The Living Room close? Our cabin would be right below it.

Thank you for the list. Are these widely available around the ship, at the shows and the specialty restaurants? Is there a champagne or sparkling wine available within the $8 limit? And if you have a general idea of beer prices (& Smirnoff Ice) would you mind sharing that as well.

I have purchased the select package for our upcoming cruise.

 

Will be VERY disappointed if there are no good reds.

The main bar lists have a limited choice of wine of $8 or less.

 

The main wine lists seem to have a bit more choice:

 

Mer Soleil, Santa lucia Highlands, California Chardonnay $7

Petaluma Winery, Adelaide Hills, Australia Chardonnay $8

Chateau Ste. Mishelle, Columbia Valley, Washington Riesling $8

La terre, California, Chardonnay $7

Beringer,California White Zinfandel $8

La terre, California Cabernet Sauvignon $8

Caliterra, Rapel, Chile Merlot $8

Cline, California Zinfandel $8
