Rare L1211 Posted March 10 Author #102 Share Posted March 10 Priority access benefits for anyone wondering - not sure I would have purchased it if they had told me there were no vibe passes for sale once aboard. Tried and lost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted March 11 Author #103 Share Posted March 11 Anyone have a computer and cord trigger a bag search? Was asked if I had electronics- I didn’t think a computer was disallowed. Wondering if that could have had it pulled out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also works art auctions- versatile chap! He was lovely, But Wi-Fi is actually unstable in the main lobby on 6 - now we know! I found a dead spot in the Atrium a few times - went toward Starbucks and it worked! It definitely got better after day 1! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Bliss it's only one side, the other side is open to all - it has a bar and hot tub - you can try to make it "vibe" lite! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the Joy in June and have a reservation at Q but have heard mixed reviews. Would love some intel on that! And can't NCL come up with a better term than "Unidentified Luggage"? 🤣. Sorry to hear yours wasn't there, perhaps because it's been identified? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare L1211 Posted March 11 Author #111 Share Posted March 11 Pro tip!!! Check out the bar at the back of the buffet!!! No one! Beautiful views and open seating. You always hear “go to the back of the buffet” - it’s true!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You always hear “go to the back of the buffet” - it’s true!! True story. I was on a Bliss B2B to AK last April. Glacier Bay is always the highlight. It is also when the OL gets absolutely packed. As you likely know, the view from the back of the Buffet is exactly the same view as from the OL. Both weeks, we went to breakfast early. Found great tables at the back of the buffet (in the bar area) and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast. Before long, the crowds start running to the OL to find places to park their butts. We just kicked back in the buffet. They close from about 9:30 to 11, but they don't kick you out. The punch line? The bar never closes. They'll give you a fresh Bloody Mary as often as you like while you enjoy the great views and nibble on whatever cinammon rolls, etc. you kept from breakfast. Of course, the last time I shared this pro-tip I was accused of being an evil squatter who was denying somebody a table. Yes, while the buffet was closed. 🤣 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The DH is a huge Pillar fan- anyone know it from Key West?? The Mojito was made well according to the DH, just missing better rum… for me, it’s Chardonnay - the La Crema was perfect ( from FAS+ menu). Sugarcane Mojito bar is on deck 8 midship. Was quiet and our drinks were great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBEAS11 Posted March 11 #123 Share Posted March 11 (edited) Also longrime NCL fan. Sapphire latitudes. However temper your expectations as food quality has dropped to slighly above MSC in food service. I have 2 NCL left for the year if all are the same as the last two NCL cruises Im done. They are stripping it down to the studs to make as much cash as possible. Also entertainment has been cut in half!

LOVE the cheese ravioli appetizer, and I'm a meatatarian (if there is no meat I don't eat it!) and that was worth it. Small portion, though. Personally I'd give the tilapia a try, but no personal experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
