  1. We used Cocoa Beach Shuttle last month and I wouldn’t recommend. They were over an hour late to pick us up at MCO and then waited 45 minutes longer for another couple. From the time we landed, until we checked into our PC hotel it was nearly 4 hours.
  2. We looked at that one as well, but DH wanted to go to Seattle. So we are doing the 21 day on the Encore
  3. This is almost the exact reverse of the one we have booked. You will have to post after, and let us know how it went. Especially if there are things you recommend.
  4. Those look good too. I may have to try them on my next cruise. It’s 21days and I’m already concerned about getting my caffeine fix first thing in the morning.
  5. Just did this. We booked an OV for a 21 day Panama Canal voyage and used points to upgrade to a balcony. Only took about 10 minutes on the phone and saved over $2000
  6. I was able to unpack once and travel to a variety of wonderful new places. The fabulous views of the huge expanse of nothing but ocean. It always makes me realize how much more there is to discover.
  7. I’m really looking forward to The Choir of Man. Also, is there a Syd Norman’s on the Encore?
  8. I actually only brought my own for my husband’s benefit. If they only had decaf on our May cruise, he would be swimming to shore each morning. 😂. I’m not a fan of NCL coffee.
  9. I prefer strong coffee, so I brought these with me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07C6C4QDS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title Several on the Getaway in May complained that only decaf pods were available from the stewards
  10. I haven’t found any trip reports either, other than what @YVRteacher posted above. I know we have some different ports, but it’s nice to get an idea. I found a roll call for the 2024 cruise which is quite active. Hopefully one of them will write a review/trip report.
  11. We booked a balcony cabin. We looked into the Haven also, but couldn’t justify the cost difference. We wanted to be able to spend on the excursions instead. I plan on buying Vibe passes when they become available, that way we can avoid some of the crowds. Although, also hoping it’s not at 100% occupancy. Do you know if these long cruises are usually full?
  12. We just booked this cruise. Definitely a bucket list trip. Only 657 days to go! 😳
  13. We applied in October 2022 and received them in less than 6 weeks. However, my photo was on my husband’s passport and his was on mine. We had to start from the beginning and pay for expedited processing/shipping to receive the correct ones in time. At least we didn’t have to pay the fees again
  14. Our first cruise we do not know to do online checkin prior to the cruise. We had our confirmation number, and our passports. The process took an extra five minutes. Have your credit card ready that you are using to set up your account, also Have a great time ⚓️
  15. Not really something you need to bring, but.. Hubby and I always cross-pack our luggage, with half of our clothes in each suitcase. This way, if one bag should go missing, we would still have something to wear.
  16. Normally you receive an email from NCL (or your travel agent if booked through one). However, this time I did not receive one. I called NCL, and they resent the email.
  17. I would ask on this thread. A lot of helpful information
  18. I can recommend this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07PMGZ3Z8?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
  19. I like using a towel band so I can easily find my chair when I return from getting a drink or such. I have a tendency to not pay attention to exactly where I was sitting
  20. This is the link I used. I hope it helps! ⚓️ https://shop.id.me/stores/9942-norwegian-cruise-line
  21. I prefer small portions of a variety of items. There is much less food waste if I am able to serve myself
  22. That’s a shame. You would think an exception would be made for an emergency. I hope things worked out for you, except for the fee.
  23. The Jones act relates only to cargo. The PVSA relates to passengers. I think the amount of the fine is correct though ⚓️
