What time did you check into the port in Miami? How were the lines? In November, the wait was horrible because of all the traffic mess because they closed I-95 that morning. Is there any such thing as a latitudes line in Miami, because we must have missed it if there is...

Thanks!

So wonderful to see LMM and her fun family back on the high seas again! Looking forward to reading :)

We have been on Carnival and Princess and just love NCL. I really like the casual dress for dinners and if you feel like dressing up you can do that too! There is always something to do, the shows are top notch in my opinion and can't wait to see both of the complementary broadway shows on the Escape. Anytime dining works for us...after all you never know what time you will be hungry that particular day...so if you want to see a show and eat late you can do that or come back from a day of sightseeing and take a nap instead of rushing to get to an early dinner reservation. It truly does work! If you go at 6:00-6:30 p.m. you may have to wait a few minutes, but we have been handed a buzzer and just go to a nearby bar for a drink while waiting.

I hope you enjoy NCL also:)

I've never heard of this. On our last 2 cruises, we booked and attended more than 1 comedy show. Many people do, since the cruises have more than 1 comedian.

When did you book the shows? Did you use the onboard screens?

Thank you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to write this review! Can't wait till April[emoji4]

We were on the Sky in November and still had to sign for every drink and while still in port had to pay Miami tax on the drinks there. We kept all our receipts just for fun and DH added them up when we came home and we drank $813.00 worth of wine beer and mixed fun cocktails..it wasn't hard to do at all...it was really fun trying drinks and wines that I probably wouldn't have purchased because of the price. Have fun!

Clean1owner, thanks for your reply. My husband and I are up for anything. We want to see Sagrada Familia and Las Ramblas. I've heard there is a beautiful large park somewhere. We like good food and alcohol. beer/wine/cocktails. Hope to not have to see a Dentist! :) Any input would be appreciated!

You may mean Park Guell? It was designed by Gaudi and contains some incredible architectural mosaics and has an unbelievable view of the city!

So do the shots/drinks exceed the $11/drink allowance for the UDP?

We were in the Ice Bar and a flat fee per person included 2 drinks inside the ice bar...my hand was shaking so bad, I think i spilled most of them on the floor:rolleyes:

Nice photo op with our friends but I would never do it again...once experienced was enough for me!

The Epic is a lot of fun...different vibe imo than on a smaller ship. We have fun on them all!

Have fun:)

How far ahead of your cruise can you call to upgrade?

Last one was November next one is 111 days away!

Thank you for a great review! Your girls are adorable and remind me of my 2 girls back when...:(

We are going on the Escape in April, and now i really can't wait!

Yes, you can still get the $125 slot play..just did it on the Sky

We just got off of the Sky on Friday and didn't notice any problems. Even at dinner where others had complained about their drinks not coming we always had our glasses of wine in a timely manner. The pool area was a little slow, but if you didn't want to wait, just go up to the bar!

Just got off the Sky you could get off as early as 7:45 we got off at 9am

Headed out on the Sky on Monday, November 16! First time cruisers here so we picked a short one. Celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary!

Happy anniversary! Maybe we will see you onboard[emoji4]

Leaving Friday Nov 13th on the Sky (You will be getting on as we get off).

 

This is our annual guys trip, we usually try to do a 3 or 4 day to minimize time away from home as our wive's arent alway fond of us getting away. 3 out of the 4 of us are accounants so mid month is ideal for travel. Sort of how we ended up picking this sailing. We actually usually sail Carnival for the guys trip but with the UBP being offered it was a no brainer for us.

Save some drinks for us! Have fun!

We sail sunday 11/15 on the Dawn out of NOLA. We are very excited!

 

My game plan this week is the cut back the amount of stuff I have out to pack in half...

I find it even harder to pack light at this time of year..temperatures are so variable!

Who is leaving on a cruise this week? Anywhere from today to next Monday ...

Where are you going? On what ship? Why this destination or date?

So we are leaving Monday, November 16 on the Sky to the Bahamas...we are going this date because it's a Steeler bye week and it's the only way I can get DH to sail during football season!

Usually start to organize outfits a week out, so if something needs washed I still have lots of time. Actual packing commences about two days prior so I have 2 days to change my mind or add accessories I may have forgotten. We leave in 2 weeks, and are going to a football game the day before so I will pack a separate bag to use for our overnight at the airport after the game..lots of planning[emoji41]

Do you have a picture window ocean view? Thanks

Maybe someone can direct me..was there a picture of a picture window ocean view ? I saw the porthole ocean view but wanted to see the picture window if possible...thank you

Hi kikki21! If you have a few tapas in Pinchos and pay for those with your card..are the drinks still included on the ubp? Never had the ubp before...thanks And have a great time!

Thank you to all the folks onboard!! Is it April yet?

After you submit the form for the future cruise certificate to the cruise consultant desk they will give you a voucher that you take to the casino desk. And no there should be no problem using smaller denominations in multiple machines.

Thank you!

Ding ding. I'm not sure why they call it an OBC as you aren't really getting a credit to spend on anything because you are charging $250 to onboard account already. However, I do always choose to exchange it for $125 on the casino. I figure I am already going to be spending much more than that in the casino so might as well get something extra out of it.

Can you tell me the process to turn the $100 OBC into $125 at the casino? And you don't have any problem downloading $5 or $10 or whatever into separate machines?
