Pride of Aloha First Timer

[PattiPerf]

Okay, Help me please. :eek: Because of all the mixed messages, I am confused. I am leaving on April 17 on the Pride of Aloha. I've heard so many things about this ship, some good, some bad. I need to know if in fact the $10. per day, per person tip is active at this time and also my husband wants to know if you can order a bar (minibar) for a stateroom and what the costs are. We have 18 people sailing this cruise. I would appreciate some help. Also, after excursions is the pool area so condensed that you can't get a seat? (that's what someone told me) Nervous and waiting. Talk to you soon.

As far as I know, the $10 fee starts after May 1. Don't know about mini-bars, there are seats near the pools, extra chaises are stored up near the front of the ship and can be moved near the pools.

On NCL's website - you can order items such as wine, bon voyage gifts, stuff like that and I think if you call, you can order specific liquors. At least that is what I believe I have read on the boards. I would call and ask.

 

Have a wonderful time. My friend at work just got back and though she didn't think it was 100% wonderful - there were many things that they did like, especially the entertainment.

I know you can order a bar setup for NCL. I am not sure about NCLA. The cost is $40 for 1L most liquors and $52 for high end. Here is a number to call.
