Demonyte Posted July 8, 2016 #26 Share Posted July 8, 2016 The Venetian is the same size it's always been & the windows have always been there. It looks a heck of a lot better than it did but the changes are strictly cosmetic They were clearly comparing Venetian to the midship MDR, not to itself before the dry dock.

Demonyte Posted July 8, 2016 #27 Share Posted July 8, 2016 What time are the shows and do you need to make reservations? You can't make reservations. Only new megaships with non-traditional entertainment setup have reservations available (Epic and newer). There are usually two showtimes in the theatre each night, times vary a bit ship by ship.

tuktukan Posted July 8, 2016 #29 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Hope someone would post the new menus that came out the 1st of July :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sand and Seas Posted July 8, 2016 #30 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Thank you - this will be our first time on NCL in 20 years😀 We had a gap almost that long before we came back to cruising on NCL. Cruising had changed so much over the years we were working long hours and had young children. Now we love the more casual NCL cruise with no assigned dining, etc. Also, no need to bring a tuxedo along for DH! Have a great cruise:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailfish53 Posted July 9, 2016 #31 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Hi also if I may mention the Aqua is very, very small compared to the Venetian. I also found the Aqua to be very noisy due to its size and there are no windows in the aqua, were the Venetian has windows on all 3 sides, not sure if that matters to you or not?

phoenix1181 Posted July 10, 2016 #33 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks! Anyone have info on the IConceirge app? Specifically, the cost! It was free the week we were on-board but I was told it would be $9.99 to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchampagne Posted July 10, 2016 #34 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks! Anyone have info on the IConceirge app? Specifically, the cost! The app is free. to use the text messenger feature, you need to pay $9.99. You can use the app to get ship info, make dining reservations, and check your room charges. however, I will say the room charges were never accurate. instead, I would check the 'account review' on the TV, and that would be the correct charges. Last week when we were on board, the messenging only worked about 3/4ths of the time... it was a bit frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oceangirl60 Posted July 11, 2016 #36 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Just off the Dawn and at the Venetian men were able to wear nice shorts. Capri's are fine for women. We really enjoyed the Venetian because it was bigger and didn't seem as crowded or loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare steveknj Posted July 11, 2016 #40 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I'm debating if we want to do that. We're three and DW and I will be together mostly. We've done walkie talkies in the past and that has worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedm Posted July 11, 2016 #41 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Has anyone used the Spa facilities? Is it worth $30.00 pp for one day or $119.00 pp for the week? Thanks:confused::confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks:confused::confused: We enjoyed the Dawn's Spa pre-drydock using a day pass. They sail day passes during port days. If someone can tell us how the spa is after dry-dock I would love to hear it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodrigs4 Posted July 12, 2016 #43 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Did anyone pre-purchase the photo package? was it worth it? do they discount photos later in the week if you wait? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan2013 Posted July 13, 2016 #44 Share Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Did anyone pre-purchase the photo package? was it worth it? do they discount photos later in the week if you wait? We bought a package of 50 photos for something like $349 (I forget the exact price, but this is close). We got the hard copies and a thumb drive with the digital pics. On the last day of the cruise, from 5-8pm in the main lobby, they set up a white floor and backdrop and have free form unlimited family (or individual) portrait sessions...just line up and take your time, tends to be about 5-15 mins per family...they have some props, like a bench, and a jumbo frame, some funny hats, and a big teddy bear...all of which made for an invaluable take home package of photos. We only got a few others from previous days on the ship. The portrait pics were available by 9pm after the illusionist show. They did not discount or change the picture package prices during the cruise. Edited July 13, 2016 by soxfan2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
