[scheides]

Awesome!! Looks fun!

[EVOJ]

Congrats B looks like you guys had a ton of fun. Digging the pic at 4am in Da Club and the pic where the plane is landing, damn that's low wasn't that loud surprised it wouldn't blow people away. Once again Congrats to the happy couple.

[Halon]

Actually one family did get blown into the ocean while trying to take a pic. Clothes, camera, and all, right into the water, lol!

Loud, yeah a little but not too bad.

[EclipseGST]

Which cruise plan did you do? 7 day Eastern Caribbean?

[TkrPerformance]

Looks like you had a blast. One of these years Ali and I will go on a honeymoon.

[Halon]

Yeah, 7 night eastern on the Norwegian Epic. Does this link work?

We almost went on a Carnival one. I'm sure we would have had fun no matter what boat we were on, but after talking to several people on this boat, they said Norwegian is a step up from Carnival. Which is awesome because it's pretty much the same price Lots of people had negative things to say about the Carnival boats. But in the end whatever, it's what you make of it and I'm sure we would have had just as much fun. But after being on this, I think we'll be leaning towards Norwegian from now on. So many little things like when you get back on the boat they have music blaring and the crew outside dancing welcoming you back aboard, with hot towels, water, and hand sanitizer. All the people on the other boats just sit and watch the Norwegian crew dance.

[EclipseGST]

Yeah, the link works... Thats awesome. I think I'll probably go on that same cruise next year. Thanks!!

[Halon]

Hell yeah! Can't recommend this boat enough man! If you start thinking about a different boat or cruise line, I'm telling ya you will love this ship and the service. Only downfall is the bar bill you will have racked up at the end haha.

[EclipseGST]

I'm sure that bar bill is probably similar to any other boat... This cruise just looks better than a lot of others I have seen and heard about.

Did you happen to get to see any of the other rooms? I like the balcony idea and the dates I am looking at say I can upgrade for the same price as an inside room. Might go with a mini suite but I dont really think that is worth it as you'll be out on the boat most of the time anyways. Just in the room to sleep in my eyes...

[Halon]

There was a package for $50/day, all you can drink (have to pay for all 7 days). If I would have known about it, and understood it better, I would have gotten that package. It's easy to rack up more than that between the 2 of us. Next time will definitely be buying the drink package.

Our balcony room was nice. Kinda small but I think that's always the case. The cheap interior rooms actually seemed a hair bigger, but it's dark. You could wake up at 11am and not know it because it's dark 24/7. So I really liked the balcony because it let some light in, helped us get up out of bed and going in the morning rather than sleep in. And you don't have a good way to dry your clothes, where-as on the balcony you just drape your swimsuit over the chairs on the balcony and it's dry the next day. The Mexican people we met had a suite, but we never got up there to see it so can't comment on it. If I were you, I'd get the balcony for sure. If you can pony up for a suite than that's cool, but really you don't spend a whole lot of time in your room. Balcony is nice because you can see the sum shining in the morning, eat room service breakfast on the balcony and see the ocean whenever you want from the private balcony. Again kinda small but you don't spend a lot of time in there so it was the best bang for the buck for us I thought.

[EclipseGST]

Yeah that was my thought on it as well... Perfect. Balcony it is!

How expensive were drinks? Is $50/Day for the 2 of you or each? That seems cheap when I think about it. If you get a decent mixed drink, thats gotta be $7-8, 2-3 a day each would be $50.

[Speedfreak]

Looks like a blast!

[Halon]

Basic drinks like bacardi coke were usually around 5-7 bucks. Margarita's were around 9. Bucket of beer (6 beers) was like 25 (depending on what beer). So I usually had 5 margaritas by sunset. Then Katy usually had a couple. Then we'd go out in the evening and have mixed drinks.

We never really asked about the drink special, and they didn't really advertise it so I still don't know the specifics. I think 50/day is for each person, but whatever you just buy it for one person, then share your drinks. When you get serious about booking, just call them up and they could give you more details on the drink special.

[AJ]

Looks awesome! I know Jana and I want to go on one soon, though we think it would be similar to our Vegas trip, a ton of fun by ourselves, but could be even better going with another couple or two.

[JET]

Glad you guys had a great time, looks like a blast!

[turbotalon1g]

Looks badass, I agree with AJ.

Thanks for posting up, always wondered about these but never been convinced.
