BABAZ

If it is coming from Cabo, as others have said it will probably be late. 

Where is the ship arriving from the day before your sailing?

It was definitely a casino offer. The new offers came out last week. We have yet to pay for a cruise. Did 9 in the last two years and have 3 more booked. We only sail Carnival now. Platinum on NCL but we do not miss them one bit.

There is no one to blame here but themselves. They knew the risks, they rolled the dice, and they lost. Has nothing to do with NCL.

Aside from the casino, how was the cruise?  I had previously sworn off Radiance's holiday weekend cruises after being on one that was really over capacity and then on top of it, we had bad weather, so there was not a bit of free space inside that ship to sit and relax.  Lines and lines for everything and you just couldn't escape the noise and crowds.

... But I'm already starting to reconsider ... she's a great ship and so easy to hop on over a 3-day weekend.😄

4th time on this ship in the last year and my spouse and I said this was the best one so far. The worst was 4th of July 2022. The crowd was horrible. A bunch of drunk idiots behaving badly. 

I saw a bounceback offer outside the cabin next to us. You had a lot of points compared to what I saw on this cruise. 

prior to this cabin being here, was this a bar?

If someone wants to share what their salary is, how much they make in tips, etc. that is their own business and completely up to them. And they have every right to if they so choose.

We took our first cruise on the Epic back in 2013. We are doing a med cruise next month, after which we will be Platinum. I am to the point though that I think we may need to leave NCL for another brand. We have definitely seen some changes since Del Rio took over. None of which is appealing to us.

We have only done a suite once - an aft facing penthouse suite on the Jewel. The other 6 cruises have been in a balcony. We booked an inside on the breakaway to Bermuda to just try it, but we were upgraded to a balcony 2 before sailing.

We only paid $1,300.00 per person on the Jewel, and received $400 OBC, so it was very affordable. This was prior to Del Rio. The suites now are just too expensive, and honestly there is nothing we really miss from having a suite. We, too, would rather travel cheaper and more often. Our last cabin on the Breakaway to Bermuda was great, and it was just assigned to us. Possibly the best cabin we have had.

We will be on the Spirit this November in an inside. It is a large inside, over 250 feet, so that should be nice.

We are sailing this Sunday on the Breakaway. Was just notified our offer was accepted. Was in an inside. Bid $125pp and went to a balcony.

Never heard of anyone actually wanting to stay in Jamaica longer. Usually, they want to get the hell out of there.

I have a car service. It is usually the women who are not ready on time.

I have gotten to the point now where if they are not ready in a timely manner, I simply drive away. It ends up costing me money in the long run, but maybe they will be a little more courteous to their next driver.

Will you be at FOD on the first day?

We are traveling with a couple we met a couple cruises ago, Ralph and Jason.

We will be there

Bret and adam

Was in Jamaica once. This is one place I can guarantee I will never go again. I did not feel safe at all. Everyone says to just stay on the ship, but I feel so strongly against Jamaice I will never sail on any ship that is stopping there. I am not going to support this country in any way. Not even my port fees!

I have talked to alot of people about cruising. Jamaica, by far, is the one place that i consistently hear people say they will never visit again more than any other country.

I just booked cabin 15870. The other cabin i was looking at was 15884. A

ny opinions on either of these?

Two more mo's. Me and my friend John will be going :D

WooHoo. Glad you are joining us Chad!

Anyone else? There has to be more Mos!

Come on! There has to be more guys going.

Looking forward to seeing everyone again. I hope the second half of this year goes as fast as the first half. It will be time to cruise again in no time.

Anthony, So who all is going now?

Confirmed:

Bret/Adam, Heinz/Rob, Anthony/Sean, Greg/Sean, Brian/Chuck - Am I missing anyone?

Also, there was another couple from Epic that just texted me and are going to join us on this one too, Chris and his wife Kyle. Also Wes from the epic and his brother Chad/Kenny are thinking of joining us as well.

Hey Anthony! Adam and I are looking forward to sailing with you and Sean again!

Lara, thanks for the review. I rally want to do this trip solo!

Which sail date are you looking at in January? I am sailing on the 26th. We have a great roll call going.
