Not sure but we get on in Orlando on the 11th and were excited to find out that ship will be empty which may mean we can get on early and go to our rooms early.  We got a 9am check in!!!

We love Money Bar.  THere is no beach but they have loungers, you can snorkel, they have great food, and cheap massages if you want.  

CDC says you only have to quaratine for 5 days as long as you don't have a fever beyond that.

Three of us booked an inside room on the Prima.  We bid the minimum on a balcony which was $120 x 2.  But now prices have gone down enough that I can just get the balcony for the 3 of us for about $100 total.  Is that allowed inside of the 90 days since it still is more money for NCL and since Balcony rooms are still available??

Or even is it a posibility to switch 1 person to a studio and the other 2 stay in an inside or go to the balcony if we can get them close together.  I would think that is allowed too if the total price is more?  But maybe that isn't true

The "tequila factory" is not a factory at all.  If it is what we went to on our dune buggy tour it was basically an outdoor tequila store.  I don't even think they talked about how tequila was made.

no matter what I search for I can't figure out the NH website.  Any way to get another clue?

Even more confused now than when I posted this.  I did an on-line chat with NCL last night who told me it was 120 days even though it was a 5 day cruise.  But she also told me because we were a party of 5 I would never be allowed to make them on line anyways and that I would have to make them on board.  And I know that isn't true because last time we just made the reservations for 6 since that is all the online system allows you to do.  But then she also told me that the reservation system for the PRIMA had a glitch and that was my problem.  Guess I am going to have to check every damn day....ugh!!

Can anyone tell me how far in advance you can book dining reservations for a 5 day cruise?  Is it 120 like longer cruises?  They were not open at 120 days so now I don't know when to try.

Does anyone have a list of sodas offered on board?  Does anyone know if they have diet 7up or diet sprite?  If not are you allowed to bring a 12 pack with?

Is NCL still testing twice while on the ship or was that only the week after the Breakaway had the positive cases?  We are on the January 23rd sailing and have our testing scheduled at the port but just wondering if we will also get tested during the cruise.  

I agree with Money Bar.  Lots of excursions are always snorkeling out front of it.  They rent equipment if you need it and food and drinks are pay as you go.

Mega Mart requires a prescription to get any drugs.  Not sure why when no other pharmacies have that requirement.  I usually get a few bottles of Amoxicillian but could not get it at Mega Mart.

Last time we were there Tropicante had 2 massage tables going.  But there is new ownership so I am unsure.  They do have a website so you could easily email and ask.  It is a beautiful location not too far from the port and food and drink is pay as you go.

Someone on another string posted these earlier this week.  So hope this is what you are looking for.

When we went to see the sloths there was a gift shop with alot of sloth items to buy.  I just don't remember what all there was.

In Costa Maya we went to Tropicante last time we were there.  Short cab ride and is PAYG.  The previous American owner sold to one of his staff and they are open again.  You can find their facebook page and message them to reserve chairs for no charge.

In Cozumel we like Money Bar.  There isn't a sandy beach but there is an entrance to the water and really good snorkeling right out front.  They even have snorkel equipment you can rent for cheap.  The food and beverages are all PAYG.  Food is really good and we can't wait to go back in January.

I would say to check out some of these

Cafe Du Monde for beignets

Central Market for a Muffaletta and head over to Jackson Square to eat it

Lafitte's Blacksmith-which is an old historic bar on Bourbon St

Take a Street Car west on St Charles-get off close to 4th or 5th street and head south to Lafayette Cemetery 1-sounds weird but tons of history in there and there are usually guides outside who walk around and tell you the history-above ground tombs are really cool

Schedule a bicycle tour through the Garden District

French Market

Pat O'Briens for hurricane

So needless to say I am super confused by the CRUISE FIRST part of the offer.  I have an existing cruise booked for January 23rd.  I have not yet made my final payment.  I have talked to NCL a few times but get conficting information so decided to post here instead.  

If I pay the $250 required will I then have $500 in my Latitudes account to put towards my January cruise?  Or is there way more to this than I am realizing?

I have been told I have to cancel and rebook.  I have been told I don't have to cancel and rebook.  I have been told it is only for certain cruises but no one can tell me what those cruises are.  I have been told that the cruise has to be further out than when ours is.  

Help.

Ours went down by a little over $100.  Took less than 5 minutes to call and get it rebooked at the lower price.  Thanks for the post

Take a cab to THE MONEY BAR BEACH CLUB.   There are so many options.  You can sit in a lounger in the sand.  You can rent snorkel equipment and walk into the water and snorkel.  There is an open air thatched roof bar/restaurant.  And you can even get a massage.  All of it is pay as you go and the food was wonderful.

That info on the Mississippi is AWESOME!!! Thanks so much for sharing.  It makes me want to stay up all night to watch for some of these things.

If I am not mistaken I believe it takes 8 hours to get down the river to ocean.  So melodyesch is correct you won't see it when you finally get to the ocean.

I just saw on NCL's FAQ's that they offer luggage storage post cruise for $25 for up to 4 bags and $5 for each additional bag.  And it also appears they take the luggage to the airport.  Assuming if it is still on their site it is still an option??  I know the Breakaway isn't in New Orleans yet but just wondering if anyone has done it lately in a different location.

We will be on the Breakaway in January.  Under "Bars and Lounges" it lists the Vibe Beach Club.  Looks like it is an adult only area with bar and hot tubs.  Can this only be booked on board?  Is it hard to get reservations?  Is there a cost?

I have been to the area and don't really think you would want to wheel around your luggage in there.   But you could do it for sure.  Some cruise lines used to offer to take your luggage to the airport from the ship.  Not sure who or even if anyone does that anymore.  Some airlines (like Southwest) won't let you drop luggage more that 4 hours before your flight.  You could probably check with your airline on that thought.
