OOOOOOMG that water slide looks terrifying!  

Believe it or not it’s not water.. you slide on mats I believe.  But yes , quite a drop..

Thanks, that would be interesting to know. 

 

Is Food Republic 50% off first night regardless of Haven or not?

Haven only.  Sorry about that.  They should have done while ship. Was not crowded at all last night.

Wet OR dry, whatever it is, no thank you!!!  Yikes.  I'm getting boring now that I've entered my mid 30s.

Thanks so much for posting pictures of the dailies.  Silas was the cruise director on my very first cruise on POA.  I hope he's still there in three weeks!

Yes I do and you can make snowman!   It’s quite refreshing.  Family think I have a bolt loose.  Probably true...

Tonight it’s Los Lobos.   Growing up in the Southwest I pretty much live for Mexican food.  I will post some pics and see how authentic it really is.  Nice to see a Mexican specialty restaurant on a ship for a change.

[RushFan]

One thing to look at is the arcade package if you have kids that would use it.  All games that don’t give prizes, tickets etc are included.  Many high end games.  You can share one pass but are limited to three scans in three minutes.  

[RushFan]

I will get pics of the adult arcade tonight(casino) .  Really nicely laid out and has enclosed smoking area.  Other NCL ships did not have this and smoke would drift to the specialty restaurants.  Nice to see this change...

Gorgeous photos -- thanks for sharing.  Have a fantastic cruise!

Loved it! Tables are not too close together and the service is wonderful. Be sure to get the guac! It's tableside!

How much was the arcade package?   I will

be onboard in February but don’t see it as an option for purchase in myNcl planing pages.

It’s in there somewhere.  $160 so about $20 a day.  Most games are 1.50 to $4 a play so they add up.  Can’t find my Galaga machine but I will keep looking...

Do you get a separate card to use if the package allows for sharing?   

[SAmome]

Is the drop slide open this cruise?

LOL!  I'm a restaurant manager in real life and kept telling DH during our spa days on our Nov 24 Bliss Cruise that the Snow Room is really just a walk-in freezer back at work, so no thanks. 😏

Wait!  I paid extra to walk in a freezer!!!  Dang!!!  It is certainly a freezer with a sprayer that creates snow.  What I find refreshing is the sauna then right to the “freezer” , quite refreshing.   I should have caught on when I saw that they were storing the boxes of lobster in there too..🥶

You overlook the Manhattan dining room from Los Lobos.  They have some interesting specialty drinks.  The food was ok, the mole enchiladas and the tamales had the best flavor.  Worth doing once but

Not sure if the package allows for sharing.  We just play two player on some games.  If you swipe more than 3 in 3 minutes you get a 15 min timeout so two

cards would not really help.

Going to post a bunch of photos while In port

 

Is that Lanie in the lower right-hand corner of the 2nd picture? She was our butler in late Sep. She was AWESOME! I recognize the bartender with the glasses. Forget his name.

Who is the concierge and assistant? We had Elena as our assistant concierge and she was magnificent. She was going home when we got off so not sure if she's back yet.

 

I'm really enjoying your live review and pictures. It takes me back and makes me want to be there again. And the food pictures make me hungry. LOL!
