So good to hear this. We decided to do St. John for our February cruise because we have like 10 hours in port.Originally Posted by zeus
For an old lady the mind is still working pretty decent.More great pics too. Definitely go to St John the next time. The whole island is beautiful and Trunk Bay has got to be the most gorgeous place I have ever been.
This has been such a great read Chris and as others have said, I love your writing style...makes it so enjoyable to read!
I haven't been on a cruise in over ten years so it is especially interesting to read all your helpful info regarding the NCL Getaway. My family and I were supposed to go on a Norwegian cruise this past summer to the Bahamas, but with Keith not fully recovered yet, we thought it best to put it off till next summer when he should hopefully be feeling more like his old self by then. So it's been especially enjoyable for me to read all about your cruise vacation...you give such awesome and specific details about everything.
And I love how you vacation...lots of relaxing, eating and drinking, lol. That's my kind of vacation

Great cruise report! Looks like you guys had a wonderful time and had lots of things to do. Your casino wins were awesome! Can you in the casino? Is there a smoking section on the ship? I think the only way I could get Troy to go on a cruise if there is a smoking section. We should consider having Joker's Cruisin M&G.
What a great, fun-filled trip! Loved all the pictures, Chris. Congrats on your casino wins!
This was an excellent report Chris!:first:
Reading this has got me in the cruising mood again!
I've been on over 40 cruises but my last was back in 2009, an 11 day Panama Canal cruise on HAL. Always enjoyed sipping cocktails on our Veranda each night and looking at the stars and the waves.
Lots of smoking sections, but no longer on your balcony or in your room. I've read on Cruise Critic that people still sneak them on their balconies though.
The smoking bans were already starting on some cruise lines back in 2009. That's why we chose Holland America. They have nothing but old people on their cruise ships and most of them smoke lol.
As Gina said, no more smoking in the staterooms or on the balconies. There is something that says $250(ish?) fine if you are caught although we smelled cigarettes a couple times. The casino is almost half smoking, so you can smoke there, and there is an area on the Waterfront on Deck 8 for smoking including the Sunset Bar, and up on Deck 16 in H20 there is a smoking section and bar. Also, adjacent to the smoking area on Deck 8 is an indoor Cigar Lounge but we never had to use it as the weather was pretty cooperative.
Carol is a serious smoker, so she selected a stateroom on Deck 8 very close to the Waterfront smoking area. I didn't see it, but she swears she went out there in her jammies a couple times - HHH.
Loved your TR Chris! We are getting tons of pictures in of the Escape and I'm getting so excited!
