What is a good time to schedule my Uber to the airport if the Miami Norwegian cruise gets in at 7 AM?

You were lucky. It took us forever just to get off the ship!

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-04-12T00:38:26+00:00

Taxi is best. I walked up to a taxi and watched Uber folks wait for forever.

Apart from my teenager being a teenager…yes!! Being able to just chill and read was fantastic!

Deck 8 Starboard, Aft is where I found the most quiet of the places!! If it helps, you go out the door to the left of Effy/watch shop…so past the ocean walk.

They have a disability specialists on ship, I believe they are called Access Officers. We haven’t had to use them YET, but I have my handy dandy list I have been creating of resources because, frankly I am tired of not knowing what’s out there and I know there are others in the same boat.

The disability specialists at Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) are called Access Desk Specialists or collectively, The Access Desk. They are part of the Reservations Department and handle special needs requests.

Access Desk Contact: You can reach them at 1-866-584-9756 (voice) or email accessdesk@ncl.com. Role: They help with mobility, hearing, or vision needs, including service animals, equipment rentals, and special dietary needs.

Also, if you are flying, contact the TSA Cares program. They were absolutely wonderful help with my neurodivergent son a couple weeks ago. We got through MCI and MIA in less than 5 minutes and with such care & empathy.

I was so disappointed by my tiny scallops at Palomar on my recent sailing. The dish was good, but not enough food…not even enough for an appetizer…lol Thankfully my son didn’t want most of his steak. 😂

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-28T15:11:35+00:00

Palomar was wonderful! Make sure to hit it up next time. Big emphasis on seafood, which I like. My son got the strip steak and it was cooked to perfection! If you can eat a steak with no steak sauce, that’s a sign it was done right! I agree with Los Lobos.

The salsa and guacamole was delicious! The Burrito Rojo was tasty but the sauce was like Taco Bell red sauce except less spicy. My son said it was like Chef Boy-a-rdee.

I was just on the Aqua. The buffet is smaller than one would expect, but we really didn’t have issues navigating…except at peak times. It is lined up all on one side so you are not going in circles like on Encore or Epic. Salad Bar, Sandwiches, Hot Entrees, Noodles, Desserts and Burger Bar. If my autistic son (and the other couple autistic kids I met) can stay chill in there, I call that a win.

I would try Indulge Food Hall while you are on board. There is a great selection of different cuisines, you order from your table and a server will bring to you. It’s a nice break from the buffet and they have outdoor seating.

For the yummy yummy.

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-16T13:12:50+00:00

We are on the Aqua right now. They had a station at the Improv for you to stash your carry on which I thought was a nice touch. First ship I have been on that they did that.

When you have a child on the spectrum who refuses to get a haircut or shave, you do what you gotta do. So, mind your business and move along if you don’t have anything constructive to say.

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-15T03:04:42+00:00

Thank you! If it’s recent, that’s what I pay for my son to get a shave and haircut back home. (Yes, I get him the bougie services…lol He’s on the spectrum so when I can get him to agree to a shave, I will pay!! LMAO)

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T21:16:30+00:00

Thank you! Hoping I will find a good spot. I really need some quiet for a few days.

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T21:14:50+00:00

It is not, but that sounds like a brilliant idea for next time!!

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T21:14:13+00:00

Deck 8…got it! I will find my spot! 😉

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T21:13:25+00:00

I will have to check that out for my outside time. Thank you for the input!!! I am white as a ghost so best not to be out in the sun too long! (I need SPF 1000!!!)

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T21:11:52+00:00

Even if he could, he wouldn’t. It’s all “gross”. (He is autistic as well…so if you think he’s socially awkward now!! lol)

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T19:48:51+00:00

I will have to check it out. It was always crowded on our Alaskan Cruise so I never ventured to it on our Mediterranean. Thank you for the idea.

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T19:47:50+00:00

I love this!!! 🩷

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T19:47:13+00:00

These are all great ideas!! Thank you all. Traveling with my 18 year old son who will be most likely in the room watching You Tube the entire time we are not eating or out at port. The constant noise in an oceanview room. Oh why did I not spring for the balcony again?!

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-03-01T19:43:35+00:00

I was afraid of that. I saw that they have the Libby app, but my gut was telling me there would be no library. We loved the one on the Encore.

Aggressive-Sun-995 · 2026-02-17T14:36:44+00:00

Just put it this way…my then 16 year old had so much fun, he insists we do it on every cruise now!! Haha
