wonderful news!

I have a great PCC. What I do is look on ncl.com for the cruise I want and when I'm ready I call him to book. In the past he has found me a better room and gotten me some on board credit that I didn't know about. Not a lot but it counts. He also answers all my questions from booking to cruise date.

He does email me and call sometimes with specials.

yes there is entertainment. i'm sure it's different now since I was last on board but I think it was a comedian and maybe a variety show or musician.

I've never been on rccl but have been on the Sky 3 times. I have a review in my signature.

Thanks, that was what I was thinking, just wanted to double check.

I understand how this works but how many days do they charge you? For example I'm looking at a 3 day Sky cruise so do they charge me $49 x 3 or do they also charge you for the fourth day that you arrive home? You could technically grab a drink that morning but I'm also pretty sure your account is closed out before time to leave.

I'm thinking it's just 3 but I want to be sure I budget correctly.

I always get a fish bowl.

I try to get a late flight. If I couldn't I'd look for a Hampton Inn, I'm a fan of theirs. Try trip advisor dot com. They have reviews for hotels in every city, pick one that sounds good to you.

I love the Sky! Kalik and the Fish Fry is what I do in Nassau too!

Le Bistro on the Sky is amazing!

yes if your towel is in the floor it will be replaced, if it is hung up they will leave it.

You can on any night on NCL.

 

So if that's the case, what's the point of this themed night? At least the old 'dress up or not night", the title lead you to believe that could be the night more were dressed up. As well it was listed in the dailies as "tonight is dress up (or not) night"....

Very true. Like someone else said it's advertising. If it's your first NCL cruise you might get very excited about it. For me since I've been on 4 (and planning more) I know what it is. Of course you can dress up 24/7 if you wish. I think they just needed a special theme for a night and ran with it.

I know some people don't care about what is on the dailies at all and some follow it to the letter. I'm in between----participate in some and ignore some.

In my opinion both nights are the same thing. You can dress up or not, take photos or not.

I love to hear great Sky reviews!

both for me! I want to see the world but also enjoy a great ship.

I didn't on the Dawn, it was a hull balcony so i don't know if that made a difference. When the door was open the air was loud and you could hear it pulling air from the hallway.

I'm not sure about the Epic studios as I've never been on it. I've booked my daughter across from me and also several rooms down. It was farther away then we thought but worked out. Since her last sailing NCL has made it so that you can put your children in a room across or beside you and not to the parent switching thing when you board. Again I haven't been on Epic so not sure how the studios work. I'd call NCL and ask. My PCC is very helpful.

:D great! I am a Sky fan as well!

I have verizon. When I go on a cruise I call and tell them to turn on international roaming. There is a code to punch in before I leave port. When i get back another code to turn it off. I also keep the phone off unless I'm in port. I just use it for a few quick texts home or to use the free wifi port may have.

We take walkie talkies. We've never been on a cruise that has the iconcierge app. I have one child and she brings a friend on cruises. I'd rather pay for a friend then have her wander around alone. My child was 15 her first cruise.

It's cheaper to bring your own. The bottles on board are $5 each. It's a big bottle but I can find a whole case of water for $5 at home.

How about lobster night that comes with lox, cream cheese and pretzel rolls. Now that is worth making a bunch a threads over. ;)

check out the prices in your area before you cruise and then decide. I found some things i drink were very cheap and some were similar to my area.

everyone gets a soda sticker on their card. you just show that when you want one. i kept my mug clean and just took it home.

I have a Dawn review in my signature. Had a great time. I think more people write bad reviews than good.
