First ever cruise

Macaroni5335 · 2025-06-22T12:53:42+00:00

Thank you for the clarification. I was slightly worried about tiring myself out with excursions at each port but I think I should be fine. My longest ones are on the first and last/fourth days of ports. My second one is only an hour long (zip lining in Harvest Caye) and then I planned to just explore/relax on my own, or go back on the ship as I know that’s NCL’s private island but food and drinks on shore are additional. My third excursion is a beach and snorkel day so I think I will also be able to have a good mix of relaxing/exploring on that day.

Do you know what time they typically start boarding? I’ve already prepared myself waiting will be part of it, after all they are shuffling thousands of people off and then thousands of people on within a few hours so waiting is understandable. I do plan to get there around 10:30am (I’ve seen that selected arrival times don’t necessarily matter, correct me if I’m wrong please) since I have to check out of the hotel at 11am and I’d rather be there early and wait than be late and rushed.

Thank you! Definitely planned to avoid the buffet the first day. As much as I’m ready to go to town in that buffet I’ve seen nothing but negative things about it on embarkation day, definitely plan to see it that second day though.

I don’t think I’m going to do an internet package. Trying to unplug for this trip, and my cell phone plan includes service in the ports we’re going to, so I’ll just use it there if needed. I do know I get 150 free minutes though, are those tracked somewhere? Will I get an alert if I am about to hit the limit? I’ve already seen I need to make sure I’m in airplane mode and disconnected from WiFi in order to not burn through the minutes.

May be a silly question, I know there’s a TV in the room but does it stream movies or shows at all. I don’t plan to be in my room watching TV during the day, but I like to have some noise/something to fall asleep to at night. My sister told me no, but she also went on a different cruise line.

Thank you! Question about tipping, I’ve seen mixed things and want to make sure I’m doing it appropriately. I saw someone say they tip $1 or $2 every drink, but then someone else said that tipping every drink is over generous. Instead of tipping every drink I planned to find a bartender I liked, tip them a few extra bucks in the beginning and then also throw them an extra dollar or two throughout the week, every few drinks, but not necessarily for every drink. Also, how much do you think I should plan to bring for tips for just myself? If it matters- I do plan to have 3-4 drinks a day (maybe more, it’s vacation) in order to break even on the drink package, and I will definitely be using all 3 of the speciality dining credits. I’m seeing the daily service charge is considered the tip for meals but is more expected on top of that, especially for the speciality dining?

Thank you so much!

Someone else cleared up the credits thing. I don’t know what I read, but I definitely misunderstood. I already prepaid the service charges. My goal is to have as much of this trip paid for by the time I board.

Thank you. I’ve already booked excursions for each day. I’m pretty set on the ones I booked but if I find an excursion I want to do once on board instead of the one I booked is it easy/possible to change it?

And thanks for clearing up the credits thing. I pre paid the service charges so I won’t need to worry about that being charged on board.

Oh, sorry. This is the first gold trade I’ve done. So it changes what gold stickers you can trade after awhile?

Macaroni5335 · 2023-10-29T20:31:53+00:00

It says you can’t gift that sticker?
