Anyone Been On Norwegian Cruise Line?

We went on Carnival last year and I wanted a step up to something a bit nicer and to spend more $$.

So far they have the best cruises I have seen for the best deal. The one we are looking at would be a brand new boat released in February 2014. Our cruise would be in March,

Just wondering about the security as far as sneaking alcohol on and the overall experience, food entertainment, etc.

I've used both cruise lines and prefer Norwegian. I didn't try to sneak alcohol on the ship, so I don't have much to tell you there. Some people we met on our last cruise said that you can bring your own alcohol on the ship but pay a pretty hefty fee (still though, less then you would if you bought all your mixed drinks on the ship). But Norwegian's food overall I think is better and at their main dining rooms you don't have to have an assigned time to eat like you do on Carnival. They have specialty restaurants you can eat at also that are really good, they may charge something like $20-$25 to eat in. If you go that route, I highly highly recommend the Teppanyaki restaurant.

 

As far as entertainment goes, where is the cruise going? I ask, because the first norwegian cruise I went on was European and was more of a sight seeing cruise than a party boat, so there were more old people. The second one that I went on was a concert cruise, so it was the opposite. Not sure though how it would be for a carribean cruise.

actually just came back from a Mediterranean cruise on the NCL Spirit (2nd time taking that ship, once when it did W. Caribbean).... NCL is solid IMO, I like them. I have ridden the Epic, Jewel (Alaska). They are adding the Breakaway and Getaway which are both nice ships. Carnival in my view is like filling a ship up with Myrtle Beach's finest and going away for a week with them.

That is completely accurate except the words that came out of my mouth were Carowinds instead of myrtle beach.

We took a 5 day with Carnival and it was great and we had a blast but by the 5th day I couldn't take any more fat, trashy people with their bratty ass fat kids .....the lines were killing me!

This NCL would be a 7 day but my boyfriend loved it and its the most cost effective way for us to go to the USVI

I'm fine with going again but I told him we had to spend more $$ (we literally got the best deal ever. It was $480 for the both of us on the 5 day and saved a lot by sneaking liquor on the ship)

      Peeking at the roster in 2026

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
