Nice review. Thanks for all the pics.

 

The ship looks empty. 

In your pics of restaurants- no one

In your pics of bars - no one

In your pics of restaurants at port - no one

Totally Empty Street in Ketchikan? What?

In you pics of common areas - no one

In your pics of casino  - no one

 

Is there only 100 people aboard? Or are you taking all these pics at 3am?  Lol

 

These pics are all taken throughout the day. It's nice because the only full events we went to were kinky boots and the theater comedy which were both 75% full.

 

Everything else is empty for the most part.

[ClevelandCruisin]

Here's a few.

[ClevelandCruisin]

Watching a Relaxing round of tennis... lol! 

 

Mudslides all day! 🍸 🍺 🍻 🍷🍹

 

Along with other things! It's a 🌊 day!

Savor for lunch:

 

Wedding soup

Bistro salad

Hummus with pita

St. Louis bbq rib

Chicken milanese 

Loaded baked potatoes 

 

 

Skip the wedding soup.

 

Bistro salad was wonderful. 

 

Hummus was excellent. Ask for extra pita. The pita is very crispy though.

 

Ribs were so tender.

 

Chicken was amazing! 

 

Loaded potatoes were filled with chili. Skip them.

The head pastry chef says his team makes around 700 cakes a day.

She gives me half, it'll pay for the dog boarding, bird boarding, and maybe a new purse she doesn't know about.

He was really visible on our cruise, always talking to guests and helping when he could. 

We've been on cruises with Silas twice -- on the Escape and then the Getaway. After we spoke with him on the Getaway about the differences between the two ships, he invited to a special session in the Ice Bar.

 

There are a handful of NCL employees that stand out for us and he is one of them.

 

I'm really enjoying the review!

I feel like a VIP, everyone seems to know my name from the waiters to the bar staff.

 

Love Norwegian!

You're welcome!

 

My first time up here. 

 

Still miss the warm weather and sitting on the balcony.

[ClevelandCruisin]

Bought these bad boys!

 

Can't get at home!!!!

[ClevelandCruisin]

Also purchased these as well!

[ClevelandCruisin]

Not sure I showed they have smart TVs in the rooms now.

 

These can access your account, messages, location, what is happening,  making reservations,  weather, etc.

 

The first time you turn it on, you'll have to watch the 10 minute safety video to get to this screen I have on.

Are you able to access HDML ports, and will the remote control allow you to change input?  Thanks in advance.
