Bikinis are coming out. I thought about it but don’t want to dirty it on the last day.

 

You would look silly in a Bikini

Do they have water slides on this ship? Can’t recall seeing any 

 

They used to have one, but it was really slow so they took it out years ago. If you can find the ship model, you will see the yellow slide. It might be on display in the bridge viewing room.

While I personally do not use the waterslides, I really like having them available for the folks that do - keeps them from being in the space I want to occupy😀

okay. Being on that sun deck made me wonder because my first ship (elation) was built early 90’s and had a small one going into the main pool when I was on it 2014-2016 but has since added the full waterworks park on that empty sun deck.

Not THAT bad.

They do have a manned soft serve here. And a buffet thing. I saw a guy with a burger kind of reminds me of the pre-guys “off the grill.”

@Saint Greg...your photos have been spectacular this cruise!

 

I also am not a fan of sauce poured all over my meat....I prefer taste the flavor of the meat not cover it with seasonings and sauces, make me feel like they are trying to hide something they don't want us to discover!

 

Enjoy your final hours on the ship!

While I appreciate Guy's, I miss the grill.  Specifically the steak sandwiches, the chicken sandwiches if I was in the mood, and the chips and cheese.  Can't we just have both!

[Saint Greg]

Does anyone know if they sell ship Christmas ornaments here? I don’t think I’ve even come across their ship store yet. If I had to guess it would be deck 7 aft once you get into the shops but I haven’t walked back in there.

At least NCL doesn't have those slimey sugar straws. I do NOT like those! 

[Saint Greg]

The NCL store was in the back of that trade winds place. I would put it in the front or bring it out of there.

 

I thought this was the floor model but apparently it’s what they sell. I collect them. On carnival they come in packages and are a couple or three dollars cheaper.

I like it. What a good idea. Unfortunately I’ve been on 5 ncl cruises 4 of which were over 10 days and I’ve never set foot in the store……..kind of late to start now..maybe eBay.

[Mommapadraig]

I found this picture so they used to come in packages. They are over $40.00 on ebay so I think I’ll pass.

I have them going back to Elation. And the Harley Davison poker chip from Juneau. I pick those up in as many ports as possible. I got Ketchikan last year. Small inexpensive souvenirs $13-17 for the ornament and 2-5 on each chip.

Yes that’s how my carnival ones come. This was my first one.

Slides on The Jewel were "kid" size not adult.
