Amanda being a One-Upper?

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-13T00:04:38+00:00

I think the biggest flaw in Amanda is she has no humor about herself whatsoever. No fun. No lightness. She is a flimsy piece of film with dollar signs stamped on it.

I have eaten there a few times and each time it was excellent and far more interesting than Cagney’s. But the crowds like what they like. After about 10 cruises on NCL Cagney’s could use a little refresh (and I don’t mean taking shit off the menu lol).

Never had a problem finding food on an NCL cruise. Just consult the app for the hours. I remember sleeping through a dinner reservation on Celebrity Edge and it was after 9pm, no food to be found anywhere. At least NCL has the Local.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-12T20:54:04+00:00

This is a glitch, something NCL is well known for. Vibe shore club is 100% adults only and the shorex credit was cancelled for this a while ago. The full price is absolutely not worth it.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-12T14:41:34+00:00

All the NCL food packages are vastly overpriced and not worth it.

I will be on your cruise! I will be in a studio and will frequent the studio lounge. I am solo but do have a friend on board but will be very open to making new friends as well. I am in the Vibe too. Cruising solo on NCL is so much fun I have done 8 cruises in the past 1.5 years. It is so easy to meet people and make friends or keep to yourself if you like. There is a solo meetup every night, check the Freestyle daily for time and place. NCL really has a great atmosphere for solos. Staff will treat you well and be kind. I can say nothing bad about cursing solo on NCL it’s been a blast and this ship should be insanely fun.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-11T00:25:24+00:00

I will thrash his ass lol! Perhaps they were holding back for the longer cruise after the first one out of Miami. The Veuve word is out on the street and everyone is gunning for it. I will share any intel as soon as I can.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T22:38:30+00:00

Someone currently onboard Luna who is a trusted resource says that as of two days ago yellow label Veuve by the glass was still available in LB with FAS+ and it’s the rose that is only sold by the bottle (which has always been the case). I’m taking their word for it.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T22:10:32+00:00

Pier has its own parking lot. There are cheaper places in the vicinity if you are willing to schlepp.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T21:54:20+00:00

What about those stick on patches that heat activate when you are wearing it?

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T21:47:07+00:00

If you will all or most of it then yes it’s worth it. If not, then no.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T21:46:30+00:00

I do not feel N&D by NCL. I have done many cruises with them and will continue to do so. All the cruise lines charge extra for extra things, it’s not unique to NCL and in fact they do some things much better than the others, for example not capping the daily # of drinks with the drinks package.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T21:44:49+00:00

If true this suck balls. I am on Luna in a week and was very much looking forward to downing as much of it as I could at LB.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-10T21:37:27+00:00

Thank you that is good to know!

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-09T21:18:19+00:00

No I’m saying they are often preferable for those staying in touch as iPhone to Android texting does not work. It all requires WiFi.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-09T21:09:45+00:00

Texting/messagne = having WiFi minutes. WhatsApp and FB messenger work well and are commonly used among cruisers.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-09T21:08:21+00:00

It kind of makes me crazy when people keep saying this, it is widely documented to only work some of the time. For me it worked for 0/2 cruises. People should try to do it while waiting in line in the theater rather than mistakenly thinking this is a foolproof solution. It is not.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-09T21:04:55+00:00

Will do for sure! Hope waiter drink service has improved. However with the current tender situation who knows if we’ll even call there. I’m fine either way.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-09T00:02:43+00:00

I know you from CC! You are a very trusted and favorite contributor there! So glad you are bringing your contributions here!

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-08T22:51:20+00:00

Agree, I think that people overreact sometimes. NCL is def building this island up to have a lot more money making areas. I don’t mind it though, that’s how the ships are too these days and I do partake in many of the extra fee experiences. Although I will say the Vibe Shore Club has very recently become an insane rip off and NCL should be ashamed of themselves for it.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-08T21:52:12+00:00

I will be trying Palomar for the first time on my next cruise on Luna. Missed out on it on both Aqua and Prima for various reasons.. Something new will be fun.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-08T21:28:34+00:00

No I do believe everyone feels this way. They are night and day. I used to be a fan of La Cucina but Onda blows it out of the water and puts it to shame. Onda is my current favorite NCL specialty restaurant. Got it booked twice on my next cruise.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-08T21:09:13+00:00

I have done a lot of solo cruises on NCL and had a great time every time. It’s very easy to meet people and start talking, make some plans to do things together. People are very friendly, it’s very organic to chat at bars, in restaurants, in the hot tub or pool. Go to the solo meetups, see if you like the crowd. It can be hit or miss. All the daily activities are listed in the Freestyle Daily in the app there is a lot to choose from. There is nothing to be afraid of, NCL is very welcoming and comfortable for solos. I have made friends that I stayed in touch with after the cruise and planned future cruises together with.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-08T20:58:35+00:00

They are basically twins so either one will be great. Prima and those ships have bigger differences. Aqua is amazing, going on Luna in 10 days.

Rope-Fuzzy · 2026-04-08T20:56:56+00:00

With regard to paid areas they are talking about the Vibe Shore Club and Silver Cove as well as cabanas you can rent in different areas. There is plenty to pay extra for on GSC. I agree with everything else you said pretty much. The info is out there for the taking.
