133! Jewel Alaska

Omar is concierge on Sky. He's there for another month and a half before being transferred to the Spirit.

Not with this current Administration :rolleyes:

Like!

22 hours!!!

We're planning our first cruise to Alaska right now. In Icy Strait we're booked to go whale watching through Glacier Wind Charters. Teresa has been very helpful with information. Also, if you search this forum for "Icy Strait", you should see some great tips and details for this port.

We had 2 spa mini suites on 11. No noise at all. Loved it.

Laurmac - we leave in 16 days for a 3 day cruise as platinum. I'll let you know what we experience. I've wondered the same thing.

I don't know that my edocs have always shown my OBC. Always bring a copy of the reservation confirmation which does show OBC. Once on the ship they were missing my OBC and I showed my confirmation and they added it immediately. I always check my bill soon after day 1 or 2 to make sure it's applied.

After being under construction for so long, their website is live now! Really nice site. Now to figure out which tour to go on! 160 more days to go to my first Alaska cruise.

Husband - Moderno and La Cucina

Teenage son - Moderno and Cagney's

Mine - Moderno and Le Bistro (for atmosphere)

Scheduled for a 3 day Sky trip in a couple of weeks. I had always wondered if there was a Chef's Table on a 3 day cruise. NCL concierge desk confirmed there definitely will be one as long as there is interest. I was able to let them know ahead of time I was interested, but the ship concierge will confirm and charge me when I get on the ship. Hope to be able to report about it when I do my review.

We went. We sat on the floor right next to the stage. We all absolutely loved it. My family ranged in age from 14 to 80.

We had a fantastic time with Shawn on our Whale Watching tour in July. Teresa met us near the dock and drove us to downtown. She was so warm and welcoming and told us about the interests in the area. Their boat holds 6 or so, so it was intimate and comfortable. Teresa provided snacks and beverages as part of the sail. Shawn is very knowledgeable about the area and sensitive to the safety of the whales and balances the viewing with the safety concerns. Teresa made sure we arrived back at the ship in time to board before the deadline. They were great hosts to us and we felt like family to them. I highly recommend their charter.

I've been communicating with Teresa today. She's been awesome. We booked for May. Thank you for the info.

Our third trip on the Sky is coming up. They have a comedian and a musical production. Lots of bars and areas with live music and/or smaller type shows like the newlywed show, etc. It's perfect for us as we're not casino or loud night club type people.

Absolutely know the feeling. Congrats. Hope you have an awesome time. We loved the Getaway.

I love getting under the covers and going to sleep with the slight rocking motion of the ship. I never sleep better than on the ship.

I've never had an issue with chair hogs in the Haven. Absolutely so peaceful there.

First cruise = NCL Spirit 2004

Have cruised only NCL since then!

Recently booked POA for September 2015..to celebrate the big 6-oooh!!

 

Anyone see the POA docked in Honolulu on Hawaii 5-O this past Friday?!?! :D

We're booked on POA for September as well. Looking forward to any other tips or info from those who have sailed previously.

Really appreciate your awesome review. We're booked for next September.

125 to go until my 11 day Pearl cruise!

Most shows there are no costs, but some there are. It depends on the ship. You may want to check out the NCL site and particular ship you're interested in to learn more.

My mother-in-law drank it often on the Breakaway.

I'm not sure about the corkage fee. I would assume they charge it to your master bill, but I don't know for sure.

The daily service charge of $12pp can be prepaid. You can log on to NCL site and do that or call NCL. There aren't separate tips that are mandatory.

Yes, you can dine anytime, anywhere. Peak times get busier and sometimes there is a wait. You can sit by yourself or with whomever you want always if you like.

The show was incredible. We still have no clue how some of the tricks were done.
