It’s going to be a week of food and entertainment and enjoying the ship since it’s not going any where I have not been a dozen times ( Orlando, Nassau and CoCoCay) After my NCL cruise I am sure I will appreciate the production shows, aqua shows, Comedy Shows, Frozen in Time, and yea even Cats 🐱 that much more!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

School's out and the kids are ready to party! It could be at max but hey I am on the cruise and it will be whatever it will be 😂 Going to enjoy it and take it easy and see how they roll. By my calculations it should be the same crew I have sailed with some might extend but quite a few will be signing off in July so I will be interested to hear from the cruisers in July about the new crew transition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be chiming in on my gym experience and comparing it to my Harmony one from April. Hope they have more than 1 instructor this time. And that THIS one is healthy!

Rare Sea Dog Posted June 22, 2022 #16 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I'll be following along Benny! Thanks I always enjoy your reviews. I will be interested in if there are any liquor shortages. I love my cocktails and have heard bourbon was hard to find in some of the bars on other ships. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belle5129 Posted June 22, 2022 #18 Share Posted June 22, 2022 So happy to follow along. Have enjoyed your other reviews. We were supposed to be on Oasis right now, but my 17 year old tested positive for Covid. We were stunned as he had no symptoms and never did become symptomatic. While we are disappointed, I can at least live vicariously through your adventure😊. Have a great trip! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare FionaMG Posted June 22, 2022 #19 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I'm in. I think we've decided to do this one next May following our visit to the Big Apple, so will be hanging on your every word and picture! Have fun! 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recalled from my 5/1 cruise there was only one instructor but he seems to be very energetic so early in the morning too! There were not that many takers for fitness classes so you might be in luck. Definitely check with him about the class schedules and ASK about class cancellations possibility if there are not enough people, I think the class will go on but double check so you are not disappointed! Just in case! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have a liquor shortage on 5/1 so I will be checking in to see if the situations have improved. If there are certain brands you want me to check let me know and I will ask! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots to see in the Big Apple and easy to get to the cruise port from NYC. Maybe I will be on your cruise next year 😂. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
