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)

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
