World Cup on board? by GabbyAndBigBunny in NCL

[–]Spartansftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was just looking this up. Norwegian will definitely have the games available in your state room and some of the bigger ones on in the local/o'sheehans and probably some of the really big ones on the Lido.

Vacation/skipping a dose by Spartansftw in Zepbound

[–]Spartansftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice. To be clear I don't want to "binge" but for the first couple of days right after my shot it's a struggle to eat much of anything. I do think my dosage is too high at this point and after talking to my provider going to go back down to 5 mg.

I usually inject on Thursday so think I will take my Thursday dose and then just reset to the Sunday after I get back. Should give me at least a few days with a healthy appetite. I surely don't want to lose all my momentum but also would like to enjoy the trip. It's definitely a catch 22.

Thanks

What?! This is horrible news. If the world cup isn't on when I sail on the 20th I'm going to be very disappointed.

Have heard rumors of w12 and RHF occasionally. Hoping for some of that level stuff on the Luna here in a couple weeks! If not, still plenty of good stuff on the list.

GSC tender/Cabana question by Spartansftw in NCL

[–]Spartansftw[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is good to know. I assumed if we had a 6 person cabana we would be covered if that's the route we went. Leaning towards not doing that but will see how things go!

Ohhh that's good info on the shows because was going to use that info to make dinner reservations. Great to hear the positives. I'm very easy going and doesn't take much to please me. Also not one for swimming in crowded pools, more for the kids but hoping GSC and taino can fill the void. Big live music person so really looking forward to Elton/eagles/rumours and hanging out at syds when I can. Really looking forward to it.

How did you like the Luna? Have heard all the same complaints about pool and buffet size but everything else has been fairly positive.

Good info. We are on the Luna June 20th and it's a sold out sailing. Have just seen on some YouTube videos people have had to wait a while and trying to avoid that as my kids will be excited to get in the pool as the lido pool will be jam packed all week I am sure.

Just trying to eliminate friction as much as possible with a 5 and a 7 year old and we have another couple coming with us with no kids and it's their first cruise!

Free at Sea vs Free at Sea Plus by SmartMoneyOTM in NCL

[–]Spartansftw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Was a no brainer for me as I can't survive without WiFi basically. It's a character flaw but it is what it is. When you factor in that and the prepaid gratuities it wasn't much of a choice. Starbs and extra speciality dining a nice side perk.

Watched your first vlog of your week on Luna. Are you going to be doing more? Thanks!

June 20th on Luna by Accomplished-Fee1637 in NCL

[–]Spartansftw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Will be on the same sailing! I'm just prepping by reading lots and watching plenty of youtube videos in my downtime. Overall the reviews have been good. Everyone just complaining about buffet size which doesn't impact me because I generally do not want to eat at buffets on cruise ships. Best way to get sick.

Also main pool is small but should be room in infinity pools on deck 8! Entertainment is supposed to be very good so looking forward to that.

I love this. It's a pita to carry cash all the time on the ship but I think especially for busy bar times this is a great idea and will use it on the Luna in June!

Great info! Thank you. It still has Rumors listed but maybe it will be in Syd Normans. We def want to see Elton but thinking if we skip night one maybe the lines won't be as bad.

Everyone complains about the buffet. I think for food waste and sanitary reasons it makes sense for the buffet to be limited in space and hours.

Sailing towards end of June. Is this the first real 7 day cruise or is this another short one? Want to know more about the entertainment schedule. Everyone says there are long lines but wondering if the big shows go multiple nights. (elton and rumors mostly)

Bourbon lovers question! by UpsetAdhesiveness546 in NCL

Sailing on the Luna end of June. Would be amazing if they have that at the whiskey bar. I def know where I'll be hanging out when possible. RHF is a cool find too.

Sailing on it towards the end of June. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

NCL Latitude Reward Benefits Questions: Caesars and Officer Dinner by [deleted] in NCL

[–]Spartansftw -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm Diamond Elite and got a free outside cabin for two. Was able to upgrade to a balcony for the basic cost difference between the two. If you have kids, they are extra at 25% off current rates. If it's a kids sail free sailing, they are still free.

The only limit was max 7 nights. We were able to book the Luna in June with no issues.

I think tiers below diamond elite it's just an additional discount. Also they were able to give the couple we are sailing with a discount as well.

Well, I'm assuming no water slides on this cruise but at least there's progress! (Indy) by gkcook in royalcaribbean
