D&J38 Posted May 18, 2006 #6 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hope this works. This is the link Garycarla posted when I asked a question in the "once aboard, can you get off" thread earlier today: http://www.sfport.com/site/port_page.asp?id=38055 On the very good chance that I didn't enter that correctly and it doesn't work, it says "our" ship: Arrived at Pier 27 in SF at 1 a.m. today (5/17) "from New Orleans." Left at 4 p.m. today for a cruise to "nowhere," as Betsey mentioned. Will return to Pier 27 on Friday, 5/19, at 3 a.m. and leave again at 12:30 p.m. that day (I think the chart had the day or date wrong), on its way to Los Angeles (where folks have said it will be christened on 5/20). Will be back at Pier 27 on Tuesday, 5/23, at 4:45 p.m. from L.A. (with us passengers!!) and leave at 9 p.m. that evening for Kauai. What a system!

kat28 Posted May 18, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Thanks for the info, Janice. I have never seen such a 'hush-hush' mentality as I've seen with this ship. Look at all the publicity that big new ship is getting and how little POH is getting! I wonder why? Very strange! Oh well, only 3 more days until we leave for LA!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druke I Posted May 18, 2006 #8 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Today's San Francisco Chronicle lists her as being at Pier 35 SF today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruzegirl Posted May 18, 2006 #9 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I don't know where she is right now but she arrives late friday night/saturday morning for the stop in San Pedro... The Christening is Saturday in San Pedro... Yeah.... Can't wait to see that....... woo hoo......I will post photos after Saturday...... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuUp2It? Posted May 18, 2006 #10 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Agree with the quiet part, but there have been a few more pics posted on NCL's site. Courtyard looks like it'll be nice...... http://www.ncl.com/fleet/poh/staterooms.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janice Does anyone know: I am scheduled on POH on 6-5. The brochure price has dropped nearly $300 per person as the ship is not full. My agent says NCL's policy is not to refund. They upgrated me a little, but I don't care what kind of room I am in. Do I have a right to cancel/rebook now at the lower rate without any penalty? Thank you, Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, Rod No, you'll have severe penalties! Your cruise is less than 30 days away, and final payment date is at least 75 days away. Up until final payment date, there's little to no penalties from NCL, but after that date, penalties mount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitra Posted May 20, 2006 #17 Share Posted May 20, 2006 My hubby just joined the ship as a waiter on Wednesday in SFO. He was on POA before and this contract is trying out POH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hrsh37a Posted May 20, 2006 #22 Share Posted May 20, 2006 I visited POH when in SFO wed afternoon. Nice ship. Exactly the same footprint as the Jewell. It was all travel agents on board checking it out, and I have a few comments. First, the garden villa and courtyard withthe courtyard suites - plastic artificial flowers abound! If I paid $25,000 for a week for the garden villa, I want real flowers. The performed part of one of their shows for us in the theater - it was just mediocre. I sailed on RCI's Navigator recently and the navigator theatre was much nicer. And those of you going for lunch in the main dining room, if they have spring rolls for an apatizer, you will do well to void it. The soups were just OK. The man course was either lobster or beef, and they were both good, as was the desert, creme brulee. One of my co-workers sailed on the cruise to nowhere Wed and Thurs, arriving back to SFO today and she said the other specialty restaurants were better. Happy Sailing - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyingpirate Posted May 20, 2006 #23 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Thanks so much for popping in with your helpful comments. We'll be able to enjoy our day so much more now with your forewarnings. I was thinking of booking the Garden Villa, but it's out of the question, because plastic flowers would RUIN MY CRUISE!!! :p You'd be horrified to see what real plants at sea looked like in your $25K a week suite. There's a reason they are artificial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat28 Posted May 20, 2006 Author #25 Share Posted May 20, 2006 We leave for the POH inaugural cruise at 2 a.m. Sunday morning for an overnight in LA and board the ship on Monday morning. I am loving all of your postings. Keep 'em coming! See if you can check out the teen room and a penthouse suite. Kathie and DD Danielle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
