mamaplanes Posted April 25, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2016 We just got off the Spirit. We were in an inside cabin (9569). I hate to repeat other posts. Does anyone have any questions while everything is still fresh in my mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGMANTAM Posted April 25, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi we are going in three weeks but have read a review saying the service wasnt as good as it used to be. How did you find this? Also as its giving a lot of Ultimate Beverage Packages with bookings, did you find the standard of drinks ok? Appreciate any tips you can give me. We are on deck 9 balcony cabin.

vicocala Posted April 25, 2016 #5 Share Posted April 25, 2016 I found the service to be the best ever, of any cruise line last month. I had no problems getting bar service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaplanes Posted April 25, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted April 25, 2016 We had great service. We found that the kitchens were what was slow. the servers were excellent and attentive but the kitchen took forever. Some of the desserts were lacking but all in all the food was good. Again, if you are going to the pay restaurants I highly suggest you make your reservations long before you get on the boat. All the pay restaurants were completely booked most of the time. We did not try La trattoria mostly because all they did was rope off a portion of the cafeteria and call it a restaurant. Cagneys, teppanyaki, and Le Bistro were excellent.

dizzy_izzy1 Posted June 17, 2016 #7 Share Posted June 17, 2016 Hi. What was your cabin like? In a good position? Quiet? We ars thinking of booking that cabin or one near for a cruise in September. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blan2 Posted June 19, 2016 #8 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Do you happen to remember how many electrical outlets you had in your cabin and bathroom? Were they a combination of 220V and 110V? Also, do you happen to have any copies of the dailies or any menus you are able to share? Have the specialty restaurants switched to the new ala carte menus? There are few different style of menus floating around, but I can't seem to find any recent ones from the Spirit. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapbreaker Posted June 20, 2016 #9 Share Posted June 20, 2016 We just got off the Spirit. We were in an inside cabin (9569). I hate to repeat other posts. Does anyone have any questions while everything is still fresh in my mind? Did you enjoy it? We are booked on an inside family cabin which is supposed to be bigger than average. Did you wish you had a balcony? I went with the theory that we wouldn't get our money's worth on an outside cabin considering the itinerary but who knows.

boat bug Posted June 20, 2016 #12 Share Posted June 20, 2016 We are a party of 3 in two separate cabins and want to keep up with each other via text. We all have AT&T plans. Does Spirit offer Cellular at sea? Have you used AT&T passport? Any info is helpful! We leave on July 18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My research showed Spirit being one of the only NCL ships to not offer cell at sea programs; I'm glad to find they have upgraded. I assume it's through the NCL app?

dexddd Posted June 22, 2016 #17 Share Posted June 22, 2016 (edited) Thank you! My research showed Spirit being one of the only NCL ships to not offer cell at sea programs; I'm glad to find they have upgraded. I assume it's through the NCL app? Cell at Sea is through your cell phone company and the network running the equipment on the ship as I understand it. NCL will have no charges for you or anything you have to do with NCL to get it to work for you. We called Verizon a few days before we went (it wouldn't let us sign up online) and they have different plans to choose from. Once you get on ship and are out of range of land your phone will be operating on the sat system. Turn off when not using and we also turned off various apps to make sure we didn't get data pushed that we didn't need.

karoo Posted June 23, 2016 #20 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Spirit doesn't have iConcierge. It wasn't available on the May 7th-19th sailing. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrpjk Posted June 23, 2016 #21 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Did you notice when the laundry special was offered? I'm hoping it is mid cruise... I was on a Barcelona to Venice sailing and there was only one laundry day special and it was the Naples day. You had to have you bag ready before you left the ship and it said they would return it in three days. We happened to get ours back the very next day in the evening. Don't count on that quick of turn around, I think we just go lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrpjk Posted June 23, 2016 #22 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Is there a sushi specialty restaurant? Did you try it? Yes there is a sushi bar thru Teppanaki. There is no additional charge to eat off regular menu but they do charge for sushi. Standard sushi prices nothing that out of sorts. We enjoyed the sushi and wish we had tried it earlier in the cruise so we could have eaten there more often. Regular menu items at teppanaki were just ok, I would skip on the spring rolls they were yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrpjk Posted June 23, 2016 #23 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Just booked spirit and got all excited when I saw this but looks like mama planes has lost interest! What questions do you have I can help. I was on the 5/31 sailing Barcelona to Venice. I think mama planes was not on the grand Mediterranean as the first one was out May 7th so she may not know answers specific to the one you are taking.

Hi jrpjk - did you happen to keep any of the dailies? I am looking for info on shows, trivia and white hot party times. Also, do you happen to remember how many electrical outlets were in our cabin?
