The fish I was served at The Local on the Joy this cruise was not battered. I suspect popped from the freezer to the fryer. I would describe them as crumb coated. Shockingly, one day at lunch, beer-battered and fried fish fillets were served at the buffet. They were hot and crispy. Just once during this two-week cruise, however.

IMO the current wing offering pales in comparison to the version of yesteryears. Buffalo, NOT! I am confident my opinion matters to NCL not at all. So, another food item done well bites the dust. Don’t bet started on the fried fish at The Local.

Two of our excursions allow modify or cancel but the third states non- refundable and no modification allowed. Of course, the slate of planner shore excursions now lists the third tour at a price less than I booked.

I am traveling and unable to contact Celebrity directly to ask my question. When shore excursions are booked online through the planner, can prices be adjusted if the price drops prior to the cruise?

I can specifically say a Passport Card served me well when my book passport had not been returned in time to board Mariner for a closed loop voyage three years ago.

Well, it’s Monday. Website slow to load. Won’t process the prepayment of gratuities. Won’t put a shore excursion into the cart.

Is it always this bad? Can’t pay my outstanding balance through their website and their office is closed for Thanksgiving.

and some of us have lost our appetite for wings

It’s a clever way to advertise the new ship.

Sounds like the third one is in sync with the one I received.

Is the second email in reference to a Transatlantic cruise?

I am speaking Crown & Anchor associate right now and she is firm “48 hours” and NOT two days.

To learn more about our accepted tests, visit our FAQ.

I received an Email direct from Royal Caribbean with updated vaccination and testing protocol. The item which stood out to me is the timeframe to test has been shortened from 72 hours to 48 hours. Will put a kink in some passengers travel plans.

Let us know if you find bacon on the buffet two consecutive mornings. That would be noteworthy!

Shows as a option on Voyager.

Based on non-delivery of services, we have initiated a reversal of charges with our credit card company.

We bought and booked a virtual appt two days ago. Linked at the appointed time (actually several minutes early) and waited for over 45 minutes and no host/proctor joined the meeting. I tried calling twice and requested a pn online portal link three times just so I could “talk” to someone. Nothing, nada. Gave up after 45 minutes and hightailed it to a local Urgent Care site for testing.

You will use the app to check in for dining room. May not be needed for set dining (early, late). Not just for dinner, but also breakfast and sea day brunch in MDR.

You know what would be popular? Guy’s for dinner. Every Carnival cruise, my husband wonders why the venue closes at 6 pm.

Steak and eggs for breakfast used to be a draw. However, the cut of meat has seriously been downgraded, so may no longer be worth the visit to dining room.

Thanks for a really good laugh

As a first-timer, OnPoint worked me. It was the least expensive option I could find. I used the free government-supplied kit.

There is no need to “locate luggage”. Use Easy Walk Off with luggage. Take a taxi (39 Euros) to airport. You will be at the airport in about 30 minutes.
