Breakaway Thanksgiving Cruise...14 days and Counting

[Georgia_Peaches]

It seems like an eternity since we booked this cruise leaving from NOLA.  With just 2 weeks until embarkation day, the packing has begun...well at least clothes are piling up on the guest room bed.  Scouring the boards for information has yielded the creation of a pretty fancy first aid kit, multiple dinner reservations, a list of things to see and do in NOLA the day before we leave, and countless other things I can't remember at the moment.  To say I'm excited to get away from it all for a few days is an understatement!  We are staying in a category H5 and this will be our first Haven experience. So here are my wonderings...

1. Will the Haven concierge be able to arrange passes to the thermal suite or will we need to do this in the spa?
2. Is Margaritaville still complimentary for Haven guests on embarkation day? 
3. Must we wait to be escorted onto the ship or can we walk on after checking in?

 

Also, I am seeking opinions on the dining experience at the specialties along the waterfront...for example, should we try for an outside table at say Ocean Blue or is inside better?

 

Thank you!!

Can't answer any of your questions but wanted to say that 14 days (13 now!) can't go fast enough.  I did the Pearl out of NO last Thanksgiving and am taking her again this Thanksgiving out of Tampa.  I can't wait!! Have an awesome trip 🙂

Have a wonderful time!!! We are taking this same cruise in March. If you are willing and remember, do you mind posting copies of your Freestyle Dailies when you return?  We aren't sit by the pool and chill kind of people so would love to start looking at what activities are offered and when. Have a great cruise!!!

Will definitely post the dailies.  Look for my live review which I'll start on Saturday in NOLA!

I'll be eagerly anticipating your live review - we're on Breakaway from NOLA over Christmas! Absolutely loved it on the Pearl last year, so we're super excited for this year.

Just curious if you know what night they have prime rib in main dining rooms.

 

Thanks
