I would say never as the staff works very hard for their money. I would definitely speak to Guest Services if your steward or waiter isn't doing their job. Understand that those tips go to many staff that you don't see who are working to make your cruise enjoyable and safe.

4 minutes to go but who’s counting?

Here!

The bagel looks like an hors'douvre.

Yay, cruise day!!! So sorry about your daughter's flight, what a mess! I never realized about the minimum check-in age for a hotel.

@ceilidh1 I have a question for you, can you send me a message at leslie_gene at yahoo? Thank-you.

Well, they can do it, that doesn't mean everyone is going to sail with them. It's a shame since I liked NCL but I'm not paying for a "surprise" cruise. I was looking at their Asian and African itineraries last night and then thought nope, can't count on any of these stops, need to book with a more reputable company.

@TrqoisWtrs I wouldn't be happy with Cupcake wine either.

@pirate4me2 loved the sign on the intro. Hoping for less drama and just as much or more fun for you, your mom, and B.

Okay, that VIP pass sounds like a definite for us. We've been planning to go to Universal in Orlando and assuming it is available there as well. Thank-you @ceilidh1 for sharing more ways for me to spend vacation money 🙂

Very interested to read your impressions of current upgraded drink package and bar service, as well as food and entertainment. The first time we were on the Bliss the bar service, food, and entertainment were wonderful. That was 2019 and there were still a couple of decent wines included on the regular package, good food, two stage shows, the Wine Musical, Prohibition, and comedians.... I've upgraded the drink package on every cruise since then since I'm a wine drinker but the upgraded package of today doesn't seem to compare to that in 21 or 22.

Great review, thank-you.

Carnival Panorama Inaguaral cruise was out of Long Beach.

The dog is a cutie. Okay, for the Venezia cruise I'm hoping no travel mishaps. Who is with me on this?

Glad you’re both okay @pirate4me2. Take care.

Thinking positive thoughts for you and grandma @pirate4me2.

Happy Cruise Day!!!

When I checked a couple of days ago there was one Havana interior.

Looking forward to this. Would it be a @TxTeach79 live without some possible travel drama? I was on the Sun in 9/22, absolutely loved the ship.

Happy Cruise Day @pirate4me2!

I will not be booking NCL until I can reasonably expect: 1. Entertainment other than game shows. 2. That the itinerary I book will be the itinerary I sail, barring unforseen weather or mechanical problems. What's up with them dropping the Napali coast cruising on POA? Antartica anyone? 3. That my cabin will be serviced no later than 2 each day AND that I have access to my cabin on embarkation day no later than 1:30. 4. That a drink package in Europe starts at embarkation, not whatever time NCL decides it does...last summer's cruises where NCL blamed local laws for delay...why weren't other cruise lines affected? I really liked NCL since I often cruise solo but their cuts have ruined the product for me.

Great start @pirate4me2!

Thank-you @nasa1974

@Nekosabre the pictures are great. I’ve thought the OV cabins would work for us and your pictures have confirmed it.
