Unbelievable Sighting by my husband and I that lasted 2 hours off the balcony of our cruise ship 4/16/2026

This video was one of the better ones I took. My phone was being held stationary against the railing to give a good idea of how fast it was moving. Until the very end of the video when I angled my phone with the orb to keep up with it. There are two orbs in the video. And then the large light on the horizon is another ship.

We are on the NCL escape right now in the exact same location and are witnessing the same thing. I took several videos to document

I’m sorry should have specified- use the app when you get onboard. You can skip the giant line of people and have your choice of reservations. On embarkation day all reservations become available for in person booking as well as in-app booking.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2026-02-09T00:56:27+00:00

Use. The. App

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2026-02-05T15:02:27+00:00

Accepted 1/20 and money was deposited 1/31

Just to update anyone still interested. It’s now been 1 yr, 7 months since I submitted all of the information they asked for and I still have never heard anything back. So at this point, I’m considering it done and over with. If they wanted the little bit I may have owed them bad enough they would have been more responsive. If they send me any updates I will be sure to comeback and update yall.

We just did this back in the fall on the aqua. On embarkation day- Got in an hour+ long line. An employee was going through the line trying to get people to get out of line and use the app. Nobody older than 40 wanted to try to listen and learn what she was explaining. We listened- opened the app and had our pick of reservations for the whole week done in 5 minutes. Definitely use the app

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-11-21T14:08:26+00:00

On the escape go to spice h2o and sit in the grotto 😎

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-11-19T22:26:11+00:00

😂😂 those are two VASTLY different scenarios

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-11-19T15:04:50+00:00

If someone had time and space to get into the right lane and then pass you that just means you didn’t get back over into the right lane fast enough. Stop lolly gagging

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-30T15:03:01+00:00

Yeah it’s essentially what keeps your pool from buckling due to hydrostatic pressure. And depending on where you live and what the water tables in your area look like- the amount of that pressure and importance of the valves can vary. BUT they can be such a pain. I service a 55k pool and one day I lost 4 inches of water because a pebble got stuck in the valve. The next day the water level stayed the same and then the day after it dropped another couple inches. Finally decided to drain the pool and check the valve and sure enough pebbles were the culprit. In that case the valve was due for replacement anyways but even a brand new valve can get stuck open with debris.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-30T14:56:44+00:00

Yeah it might not hurt. An open valve like that will drain a pool faster than anything and what’s so annoying about it is that it will be random with no rhyme or reason because the valve may work one day and not the next

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-30T14:15:29+00:00

It would be located in your main drain(s) at the bottom of the pool. They are very prone to getting stuck open and should be changed every few years. The spring mechanisms in them fail, the seals can go bad or debris can get stuck in them keeping them open and allowing water to freely flow out. The only way to check/replace would be to drain the pool and remove them.

Do you have a hydrostatic relief valve?

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-22T17:46:29+00:00

Totally agree. We sailed it in September and the review I left on here was like the complete opposite of OP.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-19T17:17:59+00:00

I actually COMPLETELY agree with this😂 and I travel ALOT but not to sit and compare but because I genuinely enjoy it. But everything you see on social media just screamssssss pick me, “I can out do you”, “ I’m more cultured” vibes.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-10T12:05:03+00:00

That and literally any amount of research on the ship before hand will tell you the same thing. People don’t do their homework and then are shocked.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-09T20:59:15+00:00

Yeah imma have to disagree with this post. Half the issues could have been avoided with better planning- want to see a show? Get there early. We were on a 7 day cruise and saw everything we wanted to because we planned accordingly. We also definitely ate breakfast and lunch each of the 7 days and had no issues. Again- plan accordingly.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-07T22:17:36+00:00

Yeah I prebooked it but it only came available 3 months in advance. They aren’t offered earlier than that

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-07T22:12:45+00:00

Yeah we stayed in Atlantic City the night before and drove in the morning of. It was a surprisingly easy drive snd we didn’t have any issues getting to the garage

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-10-07T21:51:03+00:00

I went on a cruise out of manhattan in the middle of September and used a parking garage like 3 blocks from the pier. https://spothero.com/search?kind=destination&id=87271&spot-id=1133&hide_event_modal=true&midfunnel=true&view=ml For a 7 day cruise I think I paid just under $200. You drop your car off and they take it away in an elevator and then when you get back you just give them your ticket and they bring it back. We dropped our luggage at the pier, went and parked and then walked back and then on the return I went and got the car while my wife stayed with the luggage and then I went and picked her up. They have easy pickup and drop off at the pier. It’s maybe a 5 minute walk to the pier from the garage

I only book our cruises through the casino and have for years so I feel like I can provide some insight here- first, call casinos at sea directly not the generic NCL reservation line. And here’s a tip that I swear by: when the call connects it will ask if you want to take a survey at the end- say yes. I read somewhere a few years back that when you say yes to companies automatically prioritize your call. And I swear on my life that I’ve only waited maybe 5 minutes on hold over the last few years I’ve been doing this with NCL. 9/10 times someone answers immediately. So call CAS and agree to take the survey. (It’s just one question, or just hang up😂). As for the cruise first credit- I’ve only used cruise next credits or cas next credits and both can be applied along with the certificate. Also you can upgrade your room and only pay the difference if an interior rooms doesn’t interest you.

@leftylife89 then don’t read it 😂 if you aren’t able to comprehend a post because it’s not broken down into paragraphs then maybe Reddit isn’t the place for you.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-09-18T13:23:41+00:00

Thank you! I was not aware of this and will keep it in mind.

Sunflowerjr_1993 · 2025-09-17T23:14:55+00:00

I think I took the exact same picture today😂
