You guys are reading too far into my post. I hope they find a way to add on to the sports bar, AKA O Sheehan’s on nearly every other boat.

Sun does not have O'Sheehan's yet, is that correct?

They have a place like o Sheehan’s, but only serve food in evening and not 24 hours. I imagine if Sun is going to be a new booze cruise ship they’ll need to remedy that with a 24 hour food location.

Go to your roll call...imagine if everyone posted this. [emoji52]

I liked the Sun, but hopefully they find a better use for that weird las ramblas place and add on to o Sheehan’s.

I wouldn’t count on it as someone who has purchased internet on last 4 cruises for Work.

Norwegian will show limited sports based on programming they receive, they would never say “no more college sports”...that’s silly.

Then only way the 18% service charge will become part of a package price is if the governments step in to legislate how they are advertised like they did with taxes and fees up here in Canada.

Yes..more legislation please! This is what my government should be doing. ;p

I don’t think you will be disappointed. All else equal I will almost always book a breakaway class ship, but if something tipped me towards Jade (ie price) I would sail it again. We went on Jade before dry dock and thought it was great so I don’t imagine we would be less satisfied post dry dock.

Seems like when you cruise will be a lot more important than what you cruise on. Pick a week with lots of kids out of school and should be fine.

I prefer a large ship, but you didn’t really give any reasons why you prefer one. From what I’ve seen teenagers will find something to do and if there’s a hot tub that seems where they spend their days/evenings no matter how big the ships are.

You think? It’s bizarre to me anyone shops in these chain stores that exist in every port from the Caribbean to Alaska. Weird and strange business.

Isn’t the pub crawl the entire cruise? [emoji23]

If you buy unlimited can save on first day if you purchase on second day before the deadline. That's the only way to save money on it IMO.

Mom2CrazyKids, it sounds like you've done your research. Yes, different societal norms -- not "bad," just different.

No disrespect, but some societal norms are BAD if it's not your society. It's ok to say that, it doesn't make you prejudiced, a xenophobe, racist, etc.

I have traveled all over the world including China (Beijing-Xian-Shanghai) and really enjoyed it, but there are a lot of things that would be offputting on a ship where you simply cannot get away. Only the OP really knows how they will react to what they have researched. I'd be ok with a cruise, but I don't lose my mind like some posters on CC do when something very minor goes wrong.

The reason I wouldn't cruise on Joy has little to do with the Chinese...I don't think the itineraries look great.

Having been to the Baltic’s on a land based tour, I don’t see a lot of upside to a massive boat. I feel the same way about Bliss in Alaska.

Yeah...it’s a lot easier to ignore someone who won’t say what they need.

This post is all over the place. Some valid complaints, but a lot that make 0 sense. Cruising to Bermuda because the seas are less rough than Alaska is bizarre and takes the cake though.

There’s a lot of belly aching on here about the drink package. You pay a whopping $100 for the perk and if you want a higher quality of liquor you pay a couple bucks. It is still far superior to what I’d pay for drinking on other boats like Royal or Carnival. People need to try to have some perspective on that item.

The spa? Avoid them like the plague, land or sea they are all about the upsell.

Bingo and deal or no deal on NCL is a scam. You go because it’s fun, the odds are the only thing worse than the slots on the boat.

The food? Yeah, you eat out 21x in a week you won’t love them all.

I think you had a couple bad experiences, but it seems like you’ve made a mountain of a couple items.

The biggest lesson here is don’t take cruise itinerary advice from a PCC that’s maybe been on a cruise on the Sky or something only. They seem to know less than most cruisers do.

If there are that many of you should have no problem making the night for everyone, you are the party.

I’ve sailed big and small boats, the Jade is a fine ship...but it is a little quieter than say the Epic/Escape type ships. The biggest thing I missed is less live music venues and no piano bar.

Sorry I ment Baltic. I'm just very upset right now.

Don’t take this the wrong way, but if your handle is really your occupation take a deep breath. Planning a trip like this is extremely easy in this day and age with the internet. I’ve traveled all over Europe and all of it is less stressful than SWA’s boarding system. [emoji6]

Cruise critic is falling out of favor...

The ONLY thing the Sky has going for it are the wings in Longboards.... and even then, you can't get them until after 5 (or so).

I’m not anti-Sky, I just like to maximize my vacation and four days during the week doesn’t do it.

Take a deep breath and move on...the terms are not that fine of print.

I hope they can figure out a way to offer Cuba on a 7-day itinerary from one of the Breakaway class or Epic ships. A 4 day cruise on Sky isn’t that appealing to me.

I just cancelled my cruise from Barcelona due to the unrest (we were scheduled to leave tomorrow with 4 days in Barcelona before cruise) I’m afraid that since NCL hasn’t cancelled or changed ports my insurance won’t pay!! Airline gladly cancelled & refunded taxes,etc (we were using points). So why buy insurance?? What a bummer- been working on this trip since late February!

This seems overly cautious, but if you’re happy with decision more power to you I suppose.
