Which color is better? Red, or blue?

 

I will tell you that if Cocacola is your thing, you'll be disappointed to know that NCL has Pepsi products onboard

[cocacola86]

That's a disappointment, but how much pop could I bring onboard?

[Winston Wolf]

I don't think there is a limit.

Since you posted this on the Royal board as well, it's safe to say opinions will be vary greatly on both boards.

[cocacola86]

That's what I want, I've only sailed Carnival but have a cruise booked on RC but I've heard good things on NCL on cruise radio, they had people talk about the Gem and the Jade.

I love Royal but am giving Jade a try because of the ports.

 

 

Let's see how it goes :)

[cocacola86]

Were trying the Anthem.

If you like to order from room service, then better go with RCCL. NCL has started charging $7.95 on room service.

[cocacola86]

I know they ditched taking food away, do you find NCL nickels and dimes you.

Me too I can't wait! I have only sailed with NCL. I am also looking at a few Carnival ships.

[cocacola86]

We've had 3 with Carnival, and 1 upcoming with RC. We like food options and not the same everyday and a variety of restaurants. So what's the difference between Dynamic Dining and Freestyle?

[PamJack]

I haven't been either one yet, so I'm interested in this thread. We have one booked on RC in April.

[cocacola86]

Is one class on NCL better than another, like on RC?

It goes

 

Epic class

Breakaway class

Jewel class

Dawn class

Pride of America

Spirit class

Sun class

[cocacola86]

Carnival the Spirit class is better than the Conquest class, only because the galley takes up room. So out of the NCL class which is better

They reversed that policy last week

"Nickel and dimes you" is a phrase that will never pertain to you as long as you do your research and are aware of various on board charges. I think that it's hard to compare cruise line to cruise line in general. I think a specific ship comparison would be more helpful.

 

Either way, both lines are enjoyable. Personally I don't think you can go wrong with either. :)

That's what I've read, not saying it's true

Do you have an cruises booked with NCL ?

[cocacola86]

No, always wanted to, but DW only drinks Diet Coke so that doesn't help. But I do like the promotions they offer, right now we're booked on the Anthem, we booked at 1716 pp to Bermuda and Boston in a balcony, we booked before the price went up about 8 percent. I don't like Pepsi, but I think we would have a great cruise either way. I know your probably think why am I on the NCL cruise, we'll always do your homework and do you prefer bigger or smaller?

[Granny DI]

We like both of them. We prefer the suites on NCL but the balconies on RCL.

[cocacola86]

What do you like about the suites? Which ones do you book and what do you get with them? We had an OS on Carnival and all you get is Priority boarding.

I'm going on the Gem next Sunday and Celebrity Summit in August. Nothing wrong with mixing it up. Have a great cruise

Google NCL Breakaway Haven Aft suite 12304. The Haven is amazing. We've cruised in Grand and Owners suites on RCL but think the Haven afts are superior. We also like eating in specialty restaurants because after 30+ cruises we are done with the MDR on all cruise ships. NCL does specialty better than any cruiseline.
