Rare BirdTravels Posted August 17 Author #226 Share Posted August 17 (edited) Oh no. Say it isn’t so. It’s time to go The ship kindly asks (actually demands) that you vacate your room by 8:00 am. You can pick a later disembark time, but you need to wait in a public space. Edited August 17 by BirdTravels 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted August 17 Author #229 Share Posted August 17 Wars Cove used to be a wood pulp mill for paper. Now it serves as a big, last chance shop for souvenirs. There are also a couple of quick food and drink places… if you can’t wait 5 minutes to walk down the dock to the ship. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One additional note is that the Paid-For priority tender is only for tendering off the ship. You would not have any priority for tendering back to the ship. To me, the money NCL charges isn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'snack' menu is usually available in the Haven courtyard pool area in the afternoon. On Breakaway last month, it was available from 2-4pm. Great for a late lunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted August 17 Author #232 Share Posted August 17 The Garden Cafe closes at 9:30. But The Bird found a late night buffet open on Deck 4. The Bird also found the late night Thermal Suite opening hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah so that was a joke! 🙂 Yeah I knew the local was 24/7 but can't compete with the variety of options found at the buffet. They closed early on our last cruise too which absolutely jam packed the local. I couldn't even get a reservation at 10pm because the wait was over an hour at the local! 3 nights in a row the same thing, the local was just insanity. Went back to the cabin and decided to just order room service. NOPE!!!! Phone rings off hook and after 5 minutes they politely dump the call. After an hour of this each night we just gave up and went to bed hungry. NCL sure has changed, obviously just another money saving decision on their part to shut down free venues early and ignore the room service altogether! If I didn't have Cruise next certs to use I wouldn't be returning to NCL. 🤬Ok Rant over... Edited August 17 by Warm-Water Diver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully a casual food place to take load off The Local. They are adding more Teppanyaki tables. There is space in Cocos to potentially add two 16-top tables. Or maybe some private tables like on newer ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was very low use of the buffet after 9:30 and most of the food was being tossed overboard nightly. Seems to me, if you wanted variety, you would go to the Buffet at 9:30 versus waiting in line at the local at 10:00. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
