I do understand about that vacation high, Jen! I am still on one myself and you should see a LOT of pictures of our road trip to Italy soon.
And I did look into next year's offers for NCL and am looking forward to what they have to offer for 2017. We are still not decided if we want to do Scandinavia or Western Europe. TUI has a cruise to the British Isles which looks so tempting, but we still have quite some time to decide. Guess your report will help me decide.
Wow, that seems like a pretty random coffee maker. And kinda a waste of space?
Wow, that's a sweet suite I can't believe they wouldn't make it right right there on the ship. Absolutely unacceptable!

Aren't all cruise ship rooms that big? ........says the person who has never been on a cruise ship! But see what you've done now...... if I ever do go, I'll be expecting what you had!
That rug though........ It looks like pink pot leaves!
At least they finally got your cards right (although I would have been flaming mad!). My biggest peeve is when people in customer service don't know how to address your issue and resolve your anger. I assume you got to do a cruise survey at the end of your voyage. I probably would have asked for extra paper...actually I probably would have sent an email when I got home. By the way, you should have counted how many times they kept saying, "that's what happens when you upgrade the last minute."
I like your cabin space and bathrooms/vanity space. I like the cabinet colors. I thought the table looks cheap and the 2 chairs look cheap and uncomfortable for a suite. I was really irked about how little counter space you had in the suite.
DH and I would have put that espresso/coffee maker to good use! We also would have used the glassware and coffee cups. That's becau we are definitely coffee drinkers!!! Amy
That balcony is perfect for Alaska, I can picture myself wrapped in a blanket in the lounger
I'm so glad you got it fixed and the photos are safe!
So happy to see you posting here. I hope the girls are doing well.
This was much different than any other ship I had ever boarded. You actually board the ship on the Promenade deck outside and then go in.
She said “Oh! You don’t exist!” and giggled. I giggled too but I really wasn’t feeling my giggle. She looked at my paperwork and said, oh well, I’ll take you back…sometimes when you are upgraded late your name doesn’t make it to the list. Um, no, I moved to this room in May. Everything I have done/had has had this room number on it. She didn’t seem too worried and led us to the lounge.
It never showed up the whole cruise.
Finally our keys arrived and I looked at them. Sure enough neither our beverage package nor our dining package was listed on them. I mentioned this and was told that Concierge would print us up new keys. This made me nervous. Things were not going smoothly and there was no reason for this to happen.
Oh wow, what a beautiful room! Sorry - SUITE!! Jealous ;-)
I hope that soon all the "rocks" in your road will be cleared and you can just enjoy your cruise.
Jen, I cannot get over how grown up Claire looks, what a beautiful young lady. Wasn't she just that sweet little one a moment ago?
Me too! I know I have a lot of pictures on it, and yes I'm guilty of not backing up the last year. I wasn't taking too many pictures, camera is broken, so I didn't really think about it.
I bought a new camera 2 weeks ago, a Sony a77 ii. With a great lens. I'm really excited to really get some photos going with it.
I'm excited to be here too, and seeing some familiar faces
My girls are doing great! Sammy is working as a CNA in a fancy private facility, and as a hostess/fill in waitress at the supper club she's been at since she was 15. She got her own apartment and is doing very well.
Kadence is going into 6th grade tomorrow! She's enjoying her last year of cheer, and feeling out her tweeness. LOL
How are you & family?
I am so facinated by the Pikes Market pictures, I'd love to still through there and see the sights. Those crab legs were calling me!
I remember your obsession with the chandelier on the ship, I think I remember like 900 pictures. LOL
The glass was so beautiful. My favorite was the fall leaves looking glass in the glass ceiling room.
Oh Boy, not a great way to start the cruise! I would have been extremely frustrated, and close to snapping. They should have been more polite.
Your room, while I don't know cabins size either, looks huge! And I agree with the a bit outdated assessment
Hopefully your sailing smoothed out!
I just saw the big brother to this one in Dubai. I thought it looked familiar, but I figured it was just because I had seen photos of the one in Dubai before. Now I realize that I actually remember it from Seattle.
I loved all the photos from Chihuly Garden and Glass, but I particularly loved the ones with the reflection of the Space Needle.
They do it like this on the Magic/Wonder when she sails out of Miami.
That is not on.
I would have been frantic by that point.
I really like that embarkation photo.
The whole issue was just handled spectacularly bad. I cannot understand how everything could go though wrong and take forever to fix. It is a credit to you that you stayed so calm.
The ships decor is perplexing, how old is the Jewel?
