Last minute Spirit questions

[naxos]

We sail on July 8 and I have a few questions:

 

I hear that some folks have made reservations for dinner at Windows- can I do that if we are not a large group? if we want to dine at 8?

 

Is there a pool at the spa for exercise ( one of those stationary pools)?

 

Do we tender at Cown Cay in st Thomas or can we walk off the ship?

 

In Tortola, can we walk off or do we need to tender?

 

Thanks! we are excited!

yes.

Is there a pool at the spa for exercise ( one of those stationary pools)?

There are two pools called "aquaswim" which are intended to act as kind of a water treadmill for swimming.

Thanks for the info aboput the aquaswim pools! And re the dinner reservations- is there a secret to the these reservations?

 

I was under the impression that one must go down to the dining room and be seated if there was space or wait ( which is what I had to do last time) if the dining room is full. Can I just make an 8PM reservation for Windows when I board in NY?

Is there a TIP involved up front?

You can absolutely make reservations when you get onboard. There's no secret. A lot of people don't want to have to bother with reservations so that they can get to the dining room whenever they're ready.

The ship will only make reservations for a certain percentage of the dining rooms each night though. So make sure you make the reservations as soon as you get onboard.

 

No tip inovolved upfront!

Ginamarie Thank you so much- I found myself asking this questions twice because on a previous NCL sailing I was told that I could only make reservations for dining before 6PM. I appreciate the help.

Took this trip in May and we docked in each port.

Thanks- more time in ports if we can avoid the tenders!
