The only solarium balconies that I know of are on the forward facing 2BR and forward facing Owners Suites. We had a 2BR and really enjoyed the “air conditioned sunshine” with a separate thermostat for the balcony. The winds slide open for fresh air and the 180+ degree views were spectacular. 

We had a 2-bedroom on Epic and enjoyed the solarium balcony.  However, depending on weather conditions, you were often staring at your own reflection in the glass rather than the scenery.

Thank you.  They are both back now; I assume just a temporary glitch.  Fares look the same as before.  I'll continue to keep an eye.

We've been watching the June 27th 15-day Baltic cruise from Amsterdam hoping for a fare drop (and that it would happen, in general).  However, I noticed today that it has dropped from search results.  I think there was another 14-day Baltic one that is also gone.

Anyone know what's going on?  Cancelled?

Thanks.

Thank you very much.  We'll keep an eye out for the new listing.

Have been monitoring fares for the 14-day Ultimate Baltic cruise from Amsterdam in June 2020 (wanted to go this year but couldn't).  However, now the listing seems to have vanished.  Does anyone know what happened?  Thank you.

It was open but not taking guests (full) when we boarded Epic on our January cruise. This was around 12:30 PM.

By the way, we weren't really impressed with the place and ate there only once on the entire cruise.

An option for those coming from the south would be to park at the Metropark train station in Iselin, NJ, and take NJ Transit to Penn Station (about 45 minutes) and then subway/bus combo or cab to the pier. It's a secure 24-hour garage, $9 per day.

It really depends. On our Epic cruise in January, Spa Suites dropped to $1,199, Penthouses to $1,299, and Two-Bedrooms to $1,499--all around three-four weeks prior to sailing (and all three included UBP, UDP, and $300, so it was an incredible deal). We chose the Two-Bedroom and were thrilled with it. Never going to do a non-Haven NCL cruise again.

I'm also wondering about "the letter." We booked last minute (within 14 days of departure) and assume we won't get one.

How do you know you have the UBP? We booked a 7-day Western Caribbean via Orbitz, but our cruise summary on ncl.com only mentions the UDP and $300 credit. Is there a lag? Is it not shown there?

Two weeks from today. Epic 1/25/15 sailing. $1499 if booked through Orbitz, United Cruises, etc. Showing $100 higher on NCL site.

Thanks. I booked it this morning. Decided $1499 for the 2-bedroom was probably as low it was going to go. Pretty thrilled with that rate. It has gone down in $200 increments several times, but not worth taking the risk to wait more.

Anyone know if they historically go any lower than this?

Penthouse - $1599

Family - $1499

Spa Suite - $1299

Hate to book only to have the rate go down.

Thanks!

You probably jumped ship too soon. NCL is set to ban balcony smoking as of 11/1/14.

The M50 bus goes pretty close to the pier (we did that last time). However, it would wholly depend on how much luggage you have.
