yearsofcruising

see thats my problem going into my next cruise. Not hitting the pool ! Going up north this time. 25+cruises to warm weather and NOW she wants to see whales. Really?

Dolphins,sea lions & sand for whales, lobster rolls and hot coffee

the  three SDP are already paid for ( included already when I booked the cruise as one of the promotions ).  And as Platinum , entitled to 2 more. Sorry to confuse.   marc

Thxs , I have read your above link concerning the Specialties ( taking Teppannaki out - its too noisy )

Considering Bayamo is " a la carte " and Lattitude is a 1app 1entree  1dessert.

Guess what i'm asking is , does the on-line booking realize my 1st three choices are covered under the Specialty and the next two would be my Lattitude vouchers ?

Also, do my choices then have to be consecutive nites or once clicked on can then pick a " day/time

Moderno 1st choice but then pick a day & time

Cagneys  2nd choice     "                "

Bayamo  3rd  choice      "                "

 then the 2 remaining    "                "         Lattitude vouchers

maybe i'll call ...lol    I got time       marc b.

You certainly will want to book Moderno as one of the first three to avoid being charged on booking.

 

I would leave Bayamo until the end when booking. If you do it in the first three then I believe you will get charged the $10 upcharge when booking. If you leave it to the end then the system will not charge you that when booking, as it will assume you aren’t using the package for it. You can still use the package to cover the meal onboard and have the upcharge charged to your onboard account.

 

i would book in this order:

 

Moderno, Cagneys, Le Bistro, La Cucina, Bayamo

Bayamo on the Escape is one of the 5 specialties listed , but not listed as Lattitude perk..

Lattitude shows Cagneys OR Bistro  &  Moderno OR Cucina

Not sure how to book ?

Entitled to 3 Specialty due to booking plus 2 for Lattitude Platinum. Five total...

A) Go on line to 1st book my 3   B) then book 2 more ?

Book Moderno, Cagneys, Bayamo ( ncl escape )   1st for my 3 dinner cruise perk ?

   then  Le Bistro, La Cucino for my Lattitude platinum perk ?..

Could use some explicit advice.  thxs  marc b. 

in trouble now . Never knew of a BBC.  thxs

Mudslides to begin no earlier than 10 am by the pool.  Limited to 5 by noontime !  3 allowed afternoon after lunch. Need some room for wine at dinner . And 2  Bailey's  allowed before bedtime...

at 71yrs/old/young  done my parasailing / segway'ing/ dolphin & sealion swims/ disco'ing.. so now something alittle different.

I'm young , I'll adjust !!!!  thxs  marc

All of the above..lol...so used to the lounge n drink in hand. Living in tshirts n shorts n flipflops

Not worried on the ship..just the fear of entirely different " types of ports ".  Siteseeing,will be so different...

Kind of worried..Been on close to 30 +cruises thru my yrs. Left from N.Y & Florida. Been on Royal, Holland, Celebrity, Princess, Ncl - the last 10 . Have been to Eastern.Western.Southern islands. Gone in july-august-march & april months. Gone with me n mrs. , friends n taken my family..Beaches/ sand/ pools n slides.

GOING this Sept NCL to Canada & New England !

Maybe bring 1 bathingsuit ! Trading in sand for lobster & dolphins for whale !

Making the wife happy....

A bunch of table groups run around with like scavenger hint clues .At the end coming up with a 3/4 digit number which unlocks the trunk..unbelievable fun if going with family with smarter kids than yourself..

After watching countless attempts fail , I watched as my son & son- in-law unlocked the box with 30 sec to go .

Really ? 2 engineers , a teacher, & professional magician...

What took them so long.....they were in no rush.

Enjoy...lol

Eggs n omelettes are always fresh there...go there for your 1st breakfast...buffet if you missed anything.

Get a GOOD set of walkie-talkies. Started yrs ago with 2 good Motorola's ( not blisterpacked from Walmart  ). Up to 6 now cause took family w/grandkids ! They worked thru most of the ships area , as well as from ship to streets of Nassau...lol

off the Gem a month ago. They don't even leave the customs forms to fill out the nite before. At the Customs stations they just asked " what do you have ? ". Told them 3 bottles of cologne , a watch, & t-shirt .

" Have a Nice Day "......thxs

Agreed with all the above. Been on the Gem many times. Just a great place to hit up at nite for easy stuff n drinking. during the days , some great fun activities and game shows

Been cruising for close to 30yrs on a few different lines with the in-laws & out-laws. Leaving out of different ports and seeing many eastern, western & southern places..As the yrs age , I have limited my cruises to leaving out of NY , therefore limiting my cruise lines and ports.

NCL has been my no brainer to book . Excursions , meals, and working with the same NCL guy for @ 5yrs is stress free.

Took family on BA cruise. 6 adults entitled to a 4 dinner perk. Paid xtra 3dinner for granddaughter and nothing for the little guy cause he eats fries n mac & cheese.

isn't booking a cruise really just leaving your deposit until you actually call NCL or your TA. Have done this before and never saw any different perk than seen on-line or confirm with NCL ?

Also to realize is that in certain Lattitude tiers you also get specialty dinners which are added to your cruise dinner perk. Last cruise had a 4dinner perk plus my 2 Lattitude. Not bad for a 10niter

Normally this gets an xtra sea day returning home...missed st.thomas last month due to upcoming coastal storm so ended up having an extra day of mudslides by the pool. I'll adjust..

Check out PARK RIGHT. A few blocks away. You drive there - check in- they drive u back to pier and when u return , you call them. 5minutes later , you meet your car across the street from the pier - get in and drive away. WHITE GLOVE SERVICE...

Doing this for a few yrs now

The day i make my final, my ncl person books everything. He then sneaks in my mdr 's on the bigger ships. Next call is to the excursions to take advantage of the port perk.

Cagneys. Moderno  le bistro
