It's been rebuilt since Maria hit it SO hard. When you first got off the ship there was small welcome area and a sign that said "No smoking and NO SWEARING" I have a picture of it somewhere. The port area, when we were there Jan of 2020 to the left was still trying to be rebuilt. There's some cool shops in that pink building. Bought some really good coffee, seasonings etc.

Animals are drawn to me too, Dee. That dog has the same coloring as my dog. Once at the Dominican Republic we swam with dolphins. One of the guys on the tour was teasing me as we got on the shuttle afterwards that I could call the dolphins and they would follow us onto the shuttle. They did keep coming to me in the water, more than to the other people.

Even had a cruise ship sailed by us and the Windjammer cruise also sailed by us. Your day at Tortola brought back many memories. You must have been docked in Road Town?

Stayed on Tortola many years ago. Cane Garden Bay was party central during late afternoon/evening. Don't know if still is. Also went to the Baths on Virgin Gorda. Was very interesting, but waves were quite rough because of an incoming front. Snorkel fins really helped if want to swim. Some of us had to help some people get to shore (they tried to take a dingy to the shore from a boat).

We have been to the Baths while on the NCL Encore and the excursion should of been cancelled as the waters were so turbulent. They anchor on one side, you get off and swim to shore with the help of flippers, but the waters like I said were so choppy. You walk through the rocks and it’s jammed packed with other tours. When you come out, you have to swim back to the boat which is still in the same spot it first anchored at which isn’t close to you and you have to swim around a rocky jet. But before we did that we had to try and get into the very choppy waters that are thrashing in and out of shore. I’m on the plump side and of course I tried to get into the water with my flippers on and they got caught in the rocky shore line and I went down and was being thrashed around in the waves going in and out of the shore. My friend had to be towed to the boat by one of the tour guys by a life preserver. To top the tour off, my son was throwing up on the boat because that’s how choppy it was! I’m not saying it’s like that every time, just mind the waters for yourself because it didn’t seem to deter the tour operator from cancelling the excursion when they full well knew they should of.

Sending a last minute question your direction. We are headed to Tortola a week from today. Magen's Bay looks beautiful....and very crowded. We (I) was wondering about Smugglers Bay. It also looks beautiful, less crowded, and perhaps not as commercialized. Have you ever been there? We (I) was wondering about taxi service to get back to the port from there. I'm a worry wart and am always worried about getting back to the ship in time. Can you help relieve some of this anxiety?

Ok… we are doing an April cruise on the Escape. I saw that you guys took a cab to cane garden bay. Is it the kind of thing where they just run back and forth or did you just ask the cab driver to pick you up at a certain time. I’m anxious about unreliability in transportation since it’s not booked through the cruise line. Any tips or advice on this? 🍹

Headed there in January. At Cane Garden the price of food looked fairly high, but the drinks were reasonable. Would you highly recommend this place? Or perhaps recommend a different beach and club? It will be our first adventure to this side of the Caribbean so all help is very appreciated. Do you have a recommendation on the same idea at Puerto Plata....I can't find any place via internet that even looks interesting to me.

Please tell me honestly about NCL. I’ve heard so many bad things. My sister’s friend was actually yelled at for coming back late but she was on the cruise ship’s excursion! Mr. and Mrs. Traveler did a video last year about buying a deceptive dining package once on the ship. When they went to the restaurants they were told only a few of the meals were available on that package which is not what the sales person told them. I believe the Travelers are travel agents too. So they are very familiar with cruising. And I’ve heard how bad the food is. But you seem to be happy with everything. So honestly, what’s the scoop? Is the food at least as good as Carnival (which, with the exception of specialty restaurants is exceedingly mediocre) or how does it stack up? Perhaps they have improved in customer service and foos quality after the pandemic? Is the service by crew as good and as helpful as other cruise lines?

We base cruise lines mainly on food and music. We've done all the major brands numerous times. We prefer the food (included eating venues) On NCL and celebrity and music and entertainment is great. Carnival has good food too and music is exceptional but the buffet is limited in choice but too much "fun" on Carnival.

I have been on NCL about 7-8 times, It is funny to me that you mention deceptive practices, I have found that to be true and when questioned the reply is that I should have known. I cruise a lot so maybe I should have but 1. you do believe what you are sold/told to be true and 2. What about those new to cruising. I don't find their customer service to be very good however onboard staff is pretty good. Food wise. I don't think they are great. Again my opinion. Last time on NCL was the Bliss a couple of years ago. The steak I had at the Steakhouse was not very good at all, poor quality, Funny enough the sides were excellent. Watching this video, when I saw the size of Jay's steak at Le Bistro I was thinking that is very small, will that be enough and sure enough a little while later they were at the buffet. I can't imagine paying for that dinner and having to go get something else to eat a couple of hours later. Having said that I have not be on since the Pandemic so not sure if they have changed. Happy Sailings to whatever cruise line you choose.
