I was on an Oasis cruise during Yeshiva several years ago. While we didn't have unruly children issues, it was very crowded. Are Yeshiva cruisers only on Oasis or Quantum class ships? We are looking at a Mariner 5 day in late January 2024 and it has limited cabins available. Could it be for Yeshiva or are there other school holidays in late January? Trying to figure out why the limited availability. We can cruise whenever we want to, so would like to avoid the crowds.
We were on Freedom this past January on a B2B and had lots of Yeshiva kids on the 4 night. They were fine, but it was crowded

so on a b2b you would have 8 drinks as a diamond on turnaround day?
yes! Just did this earlier this month on the Navigator. I think the only bar open was the Windjammer one. Went up and got a mimosa and 3 bottles of water on turnaround day.

We were just in Helsinki this past June. Wonderful city. We did the HOHO bus. My son loved the Olympic Stadium, and the Rock Church. We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and shopped a bit. The HOHO bus took us straight back to the ship.

Some cruise lines do require a booster.
But some countries do, if you were vaccinated more than 270 days ago (number may be off). We just did the Baltic in June and we had to show proof of booster for the EU.

I just have a magnet with our last name and the Crown and Anchor level we are, plus smaller anchor magnets with our first name on them.

Thank you so much for your review! We are doing the same B2B in August, starting like you did on a Friday. The only difference is we are traveling from Tennessee to do it! Loved your insight.

I have severe arthritis and use a walker sometimes, a wheelchair sometimes, and sometimes I do well enough to use just a cane. We try to always book sic months to a year out to make sure we get an accessible cabin. We are booked with a group in October out of New York and no accessible rooms to be had when we booked in February. The TA is keeping a look out for us, but my balance is very bad and I've been known to fall in a shower, not to mention having room if I have to bring my wheelchair. I know Royal will get me a shower chair, but I won't be able to rent a scooter.

I think its too early. We sail Sunday on the Getaway from Copenhagen and no one has heard yet on our cruise.

I am also a current cancer patient on oral "chemo" my onc said as long as I use caution, mask and sanitize she is ok with me going. I will admit I'm getting a little nervous with the rising cases. I did just get my 2nd booster in hopes this will help. But I am in desperate need of a vacation
This is my husband. He's been on Oral Chemo since the lockdown and his oncologist is very supportive of us doing whatever he feels up to doing, as long as we follow precautions. We've been on two cruises since August and have three more between now and November, including a 9 day one in June on the Getaway from Copenhagen. We see the Oncologist Wednesday and I'm asking for a prescription of the antiviral drug to take with us should he come down with it. We are both vaccinated and double boosted.

I look forward to reading more of your review! We will board her on 5 June!

My favorite memory was flying to my first cruise 30 years ago. We were flying to San Juan and it was 1992 and they were celebrating the Columbus Flotilla. As we were flying in, thousands of sailing boats were coming out of San Juan Harbor. None of the cruise ships were in their normal places because the Tall Sailing ships were in the Old San Juan Berths. It was a spectacular sight.

We had FCC from our canceled St. Petersburg portion of our Baltic cruise. We were allowed to use it to upgrade our cabin on the same cruise.

Le Bistro and Cagney's were our favorites. Not so much Moderno.

When we went to Bermuda a couple of years ago, my son was 15, and he didn't have a passport yet. Or a government ID. His school ID worked just fine. They only asked for it when he went on the ship without my husband or myself at King's Wharf

Does anyone know if you can use leftover FCC for upgrades? I have searched all the FAQ’s and it does not say one way or another?
it looks like I am booking a Bermuda cruise for the end of May using my FCC, I am going solo and when I had booked a balcony originally there was the 200% solo supplement. The supplement seems to be less and I can either book a balcony and have a few hundred left over which the only think it looks like I can do with the remainder is pre book excursions. Or book a club balcony for about the same amount of my FCC. I was just wondering if I booked the balcony and then could use any leftover for upgrades?
The club balcony suite just seems like more then I need for myself.
I just did this yesterday. They had given us about $2000 FCC from canceling St. Petersburg and we used some of it to Upgrade to the Haven 2 bedroom suite. Still have some left, not sure if I can have it applied as OBC or not.

bring the Card. Last August, some on our Alaska cruise talked about being turned away from restaurants in Seattle without the card. They wouldn't take photos on phones.

Hubby likes to play poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'Em, and Craps. I only spend $100 a night on a cruise. If I win, I pocket the money, if I lose, I lose. After our cruise on Ovation to Alaska last September, we were each offered a free 5 night inside room, which we combined for an ocean view 5 night on Mariner in December. Now, we have been both sent free 3-5 night inside rooms. We are doing a Back to back on Navigator in August, a 3 night, then a 4 night in a Promenade room (hey, its a window!). But I think we are small potatoes.

Visby is a "last minute" addition to my cruise itinerary to replace St. Petersburg, but no tour options available through cruise line. An internet search has yielded very little in the way of tours, bumping this to see if anyone has tried any excursions here that they would recommend.
Having the same problem. I have found this, which is helping a bit. We will probably just see on our own.

Someone suggested perhaps they are moving families to certain areas.
Those of you impacted, if you received a letter, or were moved, would you mind sharing the following?- Was your reservation only 1 or 2 adults in the cabin?
- Does your reservation include children under vaccine age (11 under)
- does your reservation include teens 12+
- Is your reservation during holiday and US school vacations (higher occupancy with families on board) Nov-Jan,
Trying to make sense of any logic (of course, when have we expected logic?)
Thanks!2 adults, handicapped accessible that had a connecting door to a regular room
no children
no teens

Does anyone know the earliest appointment time for getting one the ship? We are booked on the Ovation in April 2022 and we are trying to figure out if we will have to find something to do after we leave the hotel before we can go to the ship.
We are on her August 27. The earliest time I could pick was 12:00-12:30

We did the Artisocat one several years ago. They were awesome! We had to travel by van to where they dock and they even arranged the van for our group. Just wasn't enough time at Jost Van Dyke, in my opinion. Next time we go, we are just going there.

Not many medications come in a liquid form - NCL should not be bothered by pills ointments liquids but the
TSA keystone cops you never know i.e. liquids over 3 ounces may pose a problem - but if you need the
liquid medication while traveling on a flight only bring less than 3 ounces and place the rest in your checked
baggage.
Any unusual circumstances medications best check with the TSA for traveling by air.
One further thing to note - - - Marijuana in liquid form would be testing things to the limits CAUTION !
You would be surprised what comes in liquid form. I have had no problem bringing liquid meds with me on planes. I always tell TSA, they sometimes swab the bottles, sometimes not. I have a digestive problem that makes pills being absorbed difficult, so some of my meds are liquid form, especially narcotics. But I've never taken liquid marijuana. I have taken CBD oil to Europe and Back with no repercussions, as well as a cruise or two. (didn't declare it, they didn't take it)

Fellow Nashville native. We are doing Millie next summer. I’m bringing several boxes of Goo Goo Clusters instead. They take up space on the way there that will be used for souvenirs on the way back.
