luv2 cruise

We just got off NA on Sunday and I heard that a lot of the crew had contracts coming up in March also heard rumor of dry dock. The carpets were being cleaned often but there was some stains in areas. Some toilets in public restrooms were consistently not working. One thing that we were wondering is why the ship vibrates so much and we spoke with many other people who thought the same thing. Some had been on this ship before said that they didn't experience that before so hopefully they look into fixing that. It is a young ship but didn't feel like it. At times in the lido restaurant the table vibrated so much as well as in our 6120 cabin as well as other areas. The ship is in pretty good shape they were always painting and cleaning.

We just came back on Sunday from a cruise on Nieuw Amsterdam and the bb blues usually played 3 shows most nights 8:45, 9:45 & 10:45. One night they played in the main show room for two times only.

Awesome news from both of you!!! Thanks again, we are going to Grand turk, San Juan, St. Thomas and Half Moon Cay. We have been to all these ports except St. Thomas it is a 50 th birthday celebration for my husband and a friend of ours. we are two couples and both new to Hal so anxious to experience it.When I read about the formal nights I took it as two nights as well but I have been reading on cruise critics and there are a lot of people saying that they will be changing it to 1 night so I just thought if they were gonna change might have been in the new year? When we can print the boarding pass will it say specifically when the formal nights are?

Thank you both for your info, not sure the name of the drink package but I do know that it has the limit of 15 drinks/ day.

I have been trying to book the greenhouse spa online for the day but that option doesn't come up so I think I will just call this week to find out more info on it and price, and if I decide to book I might just wait till the first day too see if it is a better deal tks.

I'm hoping that we will have two formal nights but I will have to wait till I get the boarding pass and see what it says.

Thanks again,

Jennifer

We are cruising on N. Amersterdam in Feb, I have traveled on carnival and princess before but never Hal so I have a few questions.

When have the drink package and free specialty dining ( pinnacle) just wondering if the drink package is available when we embark or do we have to wait for it to be delivered?? Also since the one night dining is included in our package at booking and many other people will have this perk as well we cannot prebook our reservation, does anyone know when we will be able to book this at the restaurant??

Also if it is a 7 day I read there is 2 formal nights but also people say changes are coming wondering when the changes will take place, and when they typically are. Also our last night is valentines day do you think that will be a formal night???

Wondering if you can use the gym free of charge and do you have to pay to use the thermal beds and Sauna or steam room and do you have to book these in advance.

Thanks for everyone that puts there time into answering everyone's questions.
