Getaway 12 day cruise, Haven Spa Balcony (2) people. All in with gratuities paid, unlimited wifi and (4) NCL excursions it $317 per person a day. The only extra is tipping and parking at the pier

Yes, people cancel sometimes their is a no show. Be prepared to be upgraded up to sailing day.

Like others have said she can visit your cabin, that's about it. I took friends thru a walk thru of the Haven so they could see what it was like

Yes it will be on. Soccer is the most watched sport in the world

After I posted the question I sent an email to the Concierge desk and ask them if a carton can be supplied. They said no problem they will add it to our reservation. We had asked for a few things the last time, when we got on board nothing was done but they did take care of it pretty fast

Wondering about Soy milk, is it possible to get a carton of it for your in cabin fridge?

I'm assuming nothing was filed with the CG, same nobody had a camera going

I want to have dinner with Captain Kate!!! Lol

I'm not worried..... at least not yet Lol. 12 cruises with NCL and no real issues. I've had some really annoying ones on this booking. I talked to 5 people in regular customer service first and then figured let me try the Concierge email to see if they can help. At the end of the day they did, but holy cow.... 5 days to get a response.

I've got to say so far I'm not impressed with the "Concierge" email response. I sent them a question on Monday with my name reservation number sailing date.... This morning I finally got an email back, so much for 24-48 hour response Lol. I did try to call twice and the two people I talked to were unable to help

9:00-9:30 is not your boarding window. That is most likely your Arrival Time. Boarding usually begins around 11:00am for Haven, Special Needs.... 11:30am ish for everyone else. Cabins are ready around 1-2pm, an announcement will be made when they are ready After going thru security and checking in, getting your cabin card you can get a boarding pass. The lower the number the earlier the boarding

I'll have to try that if they don't offer it on the Getaway

I'm curious if this was a tender from the ship or a third party at the port? Any video of what happened?

Not sure how this would play out but...... Federal law requires the operator or owner of a recreational vessel to file a boating accident report with the State reporting authority if the recreational vessel is involved in an accident that results in any of the following: A person dies A person is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid A person disappears from the vessel under circumstances that indicate death or injury Damage to vessels and other property totals $2,000 (lower amounts in some states and territories). The boat is destroyed. Report Timelines: Within 48 hours if a person, dies within 24 hours, is injured and requires medical treatment beyond first aid, or disappears from the vessel under circumstances that indicate death or injury. Within 10 days of the occurrence or death if earlier reporting is not required. The information you provide is used to establish regulations and safety standards, identify and remedy boat defects, educate recreational boaters, capture statistical data, investigate accidents, and measure the effectiveness of boating safety programs. Accident Reporting Forms Forms may be found on the Coast Guard's Directive and Publications Division Website at http://www.dcms.uscg.mil/Our-Organization/Assistant-Commandant-for-C4IT-CG-6/The-Office-of-Information-Management-CG-61/Forms-Management/CG-Forms/ or entering the form numbers into a web search engine. CG-3865 Recreational Boating Accident Report CG-3865-SP Reporte Del Accidente En Barcos De Recreacion Most states and territories accept this form, although some have their own. A listing of contacts for the state's primary boating authority may be found at https://www.nasbla.org/about-nasbla/boating-contacts . Reports are generally sent to the Boat Accident Report Database administrator.

Thank you!! I try my best

I don't even try, I'll put them together in iMovie or FCP and upload them to my YT channel

I've got 256 on my phone, however I have 4TB of SSB on my laptop and I'll bring my 8TB portable drive. Shooting 4 and 5.3k at 60 and 120fps gives you some massive files Lol

Thanks, I hate typing on my iPhone but I will have my MBP since I'll be taking a lot of video... mostly underwater

I went from an 8 to a 13 Pro last year, huge improvement and great camera

Are you using your iPhone or MacBook? I'm planning to do an extensive review on our upcoming 12 day cruise. However I'm planning to do it all from my iPhone... if I can.

I should know this but I don't. Does the Haven Restaurant (Getaway) take reservations?

A quick edit / add. I had originally booked and paid for Vibe passes 2-3 months ago when you could get them online. Since we are now booked in the Haven I canceled them. I must have spoke to 5 different people at NCL customer service. First person said I had to go thru my TA, second person didn't know how. I'm not sure about the third or forth, I got transferred to managers who never picked up. I finally go to someone who said no problem. Within 10 seconds it was done, at least it's not on my reservation anymore. Hopefully in 7-10 days my CC will get the refund

Have great trip.... Fixed

Not quite "Live" yet, going to attempt to do a live review if my enthusiasm holds up.... 67 days to go We booked this 12 day cruise about a year ago after our friends had said they were booking. We all booked Spa Balconies, actually right next to each other. Fast forward a bunch of months, final payment is done and we get an offer to put in some bids which I do. About a month after putting our bids in and tweaking the numbers I notice the price for Haven Cabins are dropping. No surprise as their were a lot of Haven cabins still available. Middle of last week I sent our TA and email asking to give me a quote on a Haven Spa Balcony. They are one of the cheapest Haven Cabins, I get the quote back and its about $600 cheaper than my max bid on the same cabin in the "Good" range. So at this point it's a no brainer, they're are only two Haven Spa Cabins left and I grab the one on the port side. I had a budget going into the cruise and it seems to be holding. Going into the cruise we knew we wanted Thermal Spa passes, it seems to always work out its cheaper to book a Spa Balcony than get a regular balcony and add on the passes later. At this point we are 50% checked in, two NCL excursions booked and one Non NCL excursion booked and a handful of dinner reservations made. These were all done prior to getting the Haven Cabin. This will be our 12th NCL cruise and our second time in the Haven. Personally I would rather be sailing on one of the Jewel Class ships since they are our favorites but we wanted to do a 12-14 day and nothing really lined up. This will be our 5th time sailing out of NYC. We live about 90 minutes from the pier so for us its much easier than flying anywhere. Another big advantage is really don' have to worry about baggage weight. I tend to bring a fair amount of camera gear and snorkeling equipment. I just got a new mask with "Readers" in them I can't wait to use. I also got a underwater scooter. Our goal for the cruise is beaches and snorkeling. I'm really excited about our excursion in Barbados. I booked a 5 hour catamaran sail with "Silver Moon Barbados". The reviews for them are stellar. We had booked with them in 2018 for our 14 day cruise on the BA, however due to a hurricane our itinerary really got changed and Barbados was dropped. I typical shoot a fair amount of photos and videos while traveling, I've promised my wife I will try to hold back some on this trip. I will be using a new GoPro 11, DJI Action and Pocket Cameras along with one of my trusty Nikon underwater cameras. Links to my equipment here...

Crazy isn't it.... in May 2021 they were $24, in October 2021 they were $28, weekend before Labor Day and still today..... $32.50
