gonna go cruising

Thanks for the quick responses. En route now, cannot wait!

We always look forward to these on our NCL Cruises. Does anyone know if they are available in the buffet on Spirit?

Just an FYI for those with the $50 shore excursion credit for every port, be aware it cannot be used for your clamshell at Great Stirrup. Even though it is listed as shore excursion on your statement they do not honor it as such because technically it is a rental. 
Pretty much a worthless promo. 

It appears that the clamshells are not available to book online. Is this something I need to book onboard when we get there ASAP?

We fly in late to Miami. Is it safe staying near airport? Just need to sleep before we cruise the next day.

Thanks in advance.

Not what I was hoping to hear since to me the privasea is more like an oceanview if you cannot be out in the air. 

Thanks for your input. I must now rethink my bidding. 

I have another question regarding upgrades. If I am bidding on an upgrade to balcony, I do not want a priva sea balcony so is there any chance I would be stuck with that kind? If so I will withdraw my bid. 

Good information. I purchased it for our March sailing and hopefully will learn more by then.

Thanks for all of the input.

Thanks so much for posting this valuable information. I was about to bite the bullet and pay 37.99 each from their own website. This is one time the ship was cheaper! Love to save a bit!

No, you only get one set of credentials with a 2-device package.  The system knows to allow 2 simultaneous logins using the same credentials.

Thank you for the quick response. It says perfect for couples so I was hoping my daughter and I would both get to be on at same time.

So if I understand it correctly, getting the two device pkg will work fine if two people in cabin both use iphone and ipad but only are logged into one device at a time. Does this two device plan give us two logins?

Thanks, first time on RCCL.

However, considering what RCL has offered to the passengers on today's and tomorrow's sailings, and considering what Carnival has done for its passengers, and considering that the cruise lines were caught as flatfooted about this as the rest of us, we are content to sit tight for a day or two and see what RCL comes up with.  PR is very important in this industry.  If RCL offers us the same deal they offered to passengers sailing today and tomorrow, we'll probably take the deal and make lemonade out of these lemons.

I have not heard what RCL has offered today's cruisers yet. Where can I find that?

Thanks!

First-time poster (and a first-time cruiser) 👋A little nervous, but I wanted to share this info:

 

I went into my account ob the RCI website.  I selected the trip planner and then excursions and saw that Havanna was removed from our itinerary and that Key West was listed as our Day 2 destination.  

 

We were booked on the Empress for June 29th for a 9 Day Cruise.  Here is our new itinerary:

 

Day 2: Key West

Day 4: Costa Maya

Day 5: Belize

Day 6: Cozumel

Day 8: Perfect Day

 

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the heads up. My June 15 has changed as well. Not too happy with the changes especially at the premium price we paid to get to Cuba for three days. Curious when they will tell us what the deal is. If any. Glad I bought insurance.

Captain just made the announcement that we are not docking in Cuba. They have not yet determined alternatives. 😥🤬

I am very sorry Tink. We sail June 15 and are waiting on the verdict for ours too. 

Since you are already aboard, I hope you have a great trip regardless. 

I noticed they seemed extremely small compared to recent cruises.

I hope it was not a mechanical issue. We will be on her next week!

Getting ready to cruise with stops in Princess Cays, Bonaire, Curacao, Martinique, Grenada, using iphone that is unlocked. Is there a sim card that would work in all of these places? Thank you in advance. I have scoured the boards and am not seeing an answer elsewhere.

Posh is NOT gone. Jus t got off ship today. I used it at least 4 times

Thanks for all of the responses. They were obviously misinformed at guest services this morning. Glad to hear it is still there!

I have friends on the Epic right now who were told at guest services it no longer exists. What happened?

Thank you for reassuring us about these cabins :)

We are booked on the Epic 10101 and are curious about the movement side to side since it is one of the lengthwise front to back layouts. I realize it is midship but does anyone have any experience in these layouts? A couple of family members are more prone to seasickness so we are contemplating moving cabins.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance. I searched for information before posting and was only able to find one post, and need more input.

I was curious about this as well as we have day passes there upcoming soon. Also wondering if they have any lockers there.

Does there island have a dock or is ship anchored and tendered???

 

Am looking at a cruise next year and wife uses a scooter...

 

Can a scooter get around there for the most part ??? Am betting they have beach wheelchairs too....

Princess Cays is a tender port. There are sidewalks, etc that would be fine for a scooter. Maybe another past cruiser can answer this much better though. I hope it works out for you.

Karan, on a back to back, what is the procedure? We have the same cabin booked as we actually booked a 14 day cruise, but do we actually have to disembark? If so, what is the suggested time we can get back on? We have never done a back to back before. Thanks!

I was concerned about lockers too.... Seriously you have nothing to worry about. If you go to the pool there are loungers all around so you can see your stuff and if you are on the beach you can see your loungers. It's kind if hard to walk thru the sand so even if someone took your stuff they wouldn't be able to make that quick of a getaway :)
