Thanks for all your good posts. In one hour we will be pickedup and on our way. I see the ship is at the port. Looking forward to you pictures.

Can't wait to get on the ship. I know you got it ready for us.

Monty, did Claudio happen to mention when he was going on vacation??

[quote name='dongordon']Is the breakfast in Teppanyaki available to all or only those in the suites?

To Everyone

[quote name='willysgrandma']Can you tell me how crowded the area by the big screen where they play WII usually is?

We were on the ship Satuday for a visitation - I am enjoying your comments.

Here are some pictures we took around the ship:

In the beginning not crowded at all. Late in the cruise a waiting list.

Thank you so much for the wonderful day by day updates. I was wondering how the VIP Bonvoyage party was up in the courtyard? You mentioned it was for the those in penthouse suites, but were Gold and Platinum guests also invited?

 

We had a small party at 2:00pm for our CC friends and then the VIP party was at 5:00pm. It was a nice send off.

 

The courtyard isn't really big enough to hold everyone. It was just for Penthouse guests. We let Claudio give everyone a tour of our Garden Villa.

 

The it was Super Bowl time and we had to scamble to find a place to watch it.

he is going on vacation in 5 weeks

 

Do you know when he'll be returning?? I may be going on the Gem April 12 and I was hoping he'd be back. (I'm assuming he won't be:mad: )

He's going in the middle of March & after vacation he's coming back the Gem. I tried getting him to come back to the Dawn, but he loves the Gem.

 

I can see why.

Monty, did you like the Dawn better than the Gem??

We Love them both now, but our hearts still yearn for the Dawn.

 

I can tell you the GV on the Gem has a much nicer layout than the Dawn.

 

I'm going to post a review on here with the pros & cons.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I may be going on the Gem instead of the Spirit (did you see what they did to the itinerary:mad: )

That's a crappy itinerary, nightime in San Juan, & 2 shorts days in Tortola & Samana. We were in Tortola 7-1pm. Not enough time to do anything.

 

I'd take them up on the cancelling & go for the Gem. She is a beautiful ship.

 

The you can tell me what they did wrong.

NCL waited until after final payment was made to tell us these changes. They say we can cancel without penalty but won't give back the $1500 compass rewards point, 150 bus fare or insurance. They're also trying to make me pay the fuel surcharge if I rebook. My TA is trying to fix it so we'll see what happens today.

Our webshots pictures will be up this afternoon. Diane is just finishing them up.

 

Happy Cruising,

great positngs - we are on the 3/1 departure.

as for the meet and greet or cc meeting - did you have to do anything to co-ordinate it, or does the ship co-ordinator (Sandra) do it automatically.

I e-mail her and she indicated that it is held first sea day at 10:30 in Le Bistro. Have a call into her just to confirm - but wanted to know how yours was arranged

 

thanks

As long as you let her know that is fine. I also emailed her 2 weeks before to give her an idea of how many were planning on attending. Have a great time. You'll love the ship.
