Forget lawn club, flow riders, water slides……, you can “Walk The Plank” at NCI. You gotta see this picture 🤪

If I had to go back to sailing NCL I would want to walk the plank.  It might be the highlight of the cruise.

Let me guess... they charge extra for this?

I'm waiting for water skiing off the back of the ship. They would fetch you with a jetski. I'm sure someone is looking into it.

 

All of these attractions are the reason I stick with Celebrity.

They did. It when I did it…part of a ropes course.  Either Escape or Getaway…

We enjoyed the Haven

I’ve been in the Haven. While it was nice, the menu never changed for breakfast or lunch or dinner and the butler service could not compare to that which Celebrity offers. I was very disappointed in all but one of the specialty restaurants.  But, that’s just me.

Yes, it did not change and I totally  agree with you. As long as we stayed in the Haven it was fine. Had a problem with all the cigarette smoke. We got a super good deal on our 3rd South America trip..for $7000 for the 2 of us in a suite, all drinks, and speciality restaurants…I say if the price is right…

[zackarykeef]

Right, because flow riders and glass blowing (talk about $$$) aren’t gimmicky at all, right?

 

That plank is actually free on NCL, and is part of a much larger ropes course that’s actually pretty cool. It’s pretty freeing feeling the ocean breeze hanging over the side of the ship. I don’t understand why people say NCL “nickels and dimes” you, when it doesn’t charge extra for anything more than any other cruise line.

 

Serial cruisers will defend their line til the death, assuming that everyone should like the same things as them. Maybe if NCL wants to step up their game, they should add a cantilevered bar that only moves up and down when unoccupied here and there 🤷🏼‍♂️

So many of the ships have something that looks like a swim platform at the rear already; I have wondered why they don't do some waterskiing behind PWCs launched from back there or have a big inflatable waterpark to deploy back there - especially at ports that require tendering. And just think of the traffic at the "Back Bottom Bar".

Yes it's free and was less nerve racking than I thought it would be. The Carnival Mardi Gras has a micro Zipline as park of it's ropes course. It was also fun.

God in heaven, with what do they come up next- harness on at one of the properlers and see how long you can stay attached?

LOL. Especially if I had to eat in their main dining room...

Unless things have changed, it is included as an option on the ropes course.

I love Celebrity and that is my favorite cruise line but my god there are some stuck up snotty celebrity flag waving people that put down every other cruise line.  I had sailed a couple NCL cruises 15-20 years ago and was not at all impressed.  Said I didn't want to go on another NCL cruise.  Then i saw and booked a great deal and really good itinerary on the NCL Breakaway about 4 years ago and it was one of the best cruises i've been on.  Food in the main dining room was much better than my last Edge cruise and the production shows on NCL are also much better than the shows on Celebrity. Is it as elegant, nope but sometimes we don't need that or want it.  Met great people just like we have on all the lines we have sailed with and wouldn't hesitate to go on NCL again if the price and itinerary was what I was looking for.  Try it, you just might like it

No " sarcasm " at all.

Agree, I have had great cruises on both lines…for different reasons..
