    Looking forward to watching all of these. We are doing this trip on Bliss in October, followed the next day with 21 days on Encore to Miami via the Panama Canal. Have to make the most of it when coming from Australia!

    NCL is known for being very strict on the “rules”. Even as a loyal NCL cruiser, I’ve been turned down for small things that cost nothing but would have made my cruise day a bit more enjoyable. I guess they feel that once they start making exceptions for some people then everyone will ask. Understandable I suppose.

    In fairness to NCL, once we formally complained via email they responded very swiftly and in a manner that satisfied us. But it all could have been avoided if they’d just used common sense.

    It was just Seattle, though there was a different tax (we don’t recall the amount) in Alaskan waters as well. They do put signs out letting you know, but it was still a shock! Have a great time on your cruise, and thanks for stopping by!!!

    I leave in 2 weeks. I'm struggling with what to pack. Did guests dress up for dinner? What did you wear when inside the boat? On your balcony? Off the boat? I know outside weather may differ so I will take that into consideration. Thank you so much!

  • @TravellingWithTeens

    @TravellingWithTeens

    Ай бұрын

    We were the same and packed far too much!! There was definitely a mixture of people who dressed up and those that didn’t. We tended to dress up a bit in the evening but lots of people didn’t. Dress code in the dining rooms were things like no ripped jeans or wearing hoodies with a hood up. Some nights I wore jeans and a blazer or a dress with chunky boots. People dressed up more than I thought they would so if that’s your thing then go for it but you really don’t have to. It was nice to see everyone happily wearing what they wanted. Most days I wore thick leggings or jeans and jumper or hoodie. I always had a thermal vest on but didn’t always need it. Definitely go for layers!! The balcony was sometimes really warm and we just wore T-shirts but other times I had my coat on!!! Off the boat I wore the same plus a waterproof coat and boots plus hat and gloves. Lots of layers is definitely the key. We found the temperature on the fine. It got a bit cooler in some of the restaurants so having a blazer to chuck on helped. Hope that helps a bit!! If you have any more questions, please ask!

    There are many reasons people have for not drinking, some much more serious than personal choice. To not have an alternative option and one that can be easily arranged in advance for an inclusive offer is very very poor show! 😮 Not petty at all imho! Plus it's probably cost saving for them! Makes no sense!
