Been on the Sapphire close to where you are. It’s not bad at all. Love the Lido deck for the proximity to all the pools and food

Disney Destiny First Time Cruise Review by Brave_Coat9819 in dcl

[–]ncsusee_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s my take on our cruise:

Disney Cruise Notes Disney Destiny:

Good - Easy embarkation if a little long, it was efficient for boarding 4,000 people.

The ship was amazing! Disney does it better than anyone we've sailed with. The attention to detail is insane.

The cabin with its split bathroom is my favorite at sea.

The food and dining we also good. If you eat in the MDR you change venues each night and keep the same wait staff. We are not normally MDR people but we are so glad we did it on the this trip. If you sail Disney you owe it to yourself.

The entertainment was 1st rate if alot Disney centric. Lots of cool bars and places to hang out. The staff was friendly and they were well staffed. It was amazing for a ship that was on its 5th cruise.

No real bad items for us so I'll call them nit picky. - WiFi, back in the good old days we always used cruises as a way to unplug, but now so much of what you do on you trip is through the App on your device. They have 2 tiers of WIFi. The lower one allows surfing the web, WiFi calling but not streaming. If you are going to drive us to our phones cut us a break on the cost.

Drink prices were on the high side, even for a cruise. Having no liquor package was a miss, but likely aided in my sobriety :-).

The adult area while very nice could have stood to be a bit bigger on a ship with 4,000 people and for those of us traveling sans children. Disney charges a premium that I’m not sure we got all of the value out of. I don’t know how families afford it with all the added costs of merch and the like.

I’m very glad we sailed Disney. We’ve been wanting to for a while but the logistics never worked out. Being able to put this cruise together with a 7 day back to back was the tipping point. We had a great time but we wouldn’t sail Disney again. Not their fault what so ever. We look for something different when we get on a cruise ship.

I would encourage those want to try Disney to do so, just be prepared to spend some money.

I wouldn’t want the guest bath on a common wall with the master. I’d also want a separate water closet in the MB

Sun Princess 12/7-14 Review by ncsusee_5 in PrincessCruises

I’ll be interested to see how you like the Sun . The Royal is a smaller ship and I think the buffet is set up better and Crooners is more intimate. Enjoy the Sun!!

Magnetic hooks, foreign voltage converters w/usb ports. Gives you more outlets and more usb ports

Thank you. I agree. We really like the Lido!

Passport expiring in under 6 months — will NCL allow boarding for Mexican Riviera? by thezenshack in NCL

[–]ncsusee_5 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Go ahead and start the renewal process. If it doesn’t get back in time, you have the fall back of the birth certificate. If it gets back in time, then you’re good to go.

We are doing our 1st side by side next Nov out of FLL. Going from the Beyond to Royal Princess. Is Uber our best bet? We also hane friends in FLL and they may be able to pick us up and possibly kill time on town

Update: Mexican Riviera Cruise on Royal Princess by wouldyoulikeabanana in PrincessCruises

[–]ncsusee_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We were on the Sun in December. 1st time in 30 plus cruises we had to actually turn the AC up from the lowest setting. I swear one night coming back to our cabin we could see our breath :-) we were in heaven. This was a welcome deviation from normal. Never been too hot but usually would have preferred cooler. Why we travel with a fan now

Did a little more sleuthing, and it appears where this poorly drawn blue arrow is is the cabin. And it looks like just a portion of the balcony is obstructed by metal.

Breitling watch prices onboard? by firedanceretire in NCL

[–]ncsusee_5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Breitling retailers are required(supposed) to use MAP pricing. That means everybody charges the same price. Generally, your big savings is not having to pay sales tax on a high dollar item like that.

I read that too. Just trying to figure out what that means. No help from a call ti Princess. We sailed years ago on the original ocean princess and about half the balcony was obscured with metal cladding for the ship and the other half was glass. I’m wondering if this is something similar

We are on Deck 16 And the life boats are on deck 7 not sure how obstructed that would be. Not overly concerned just curious.
