Announcements were hard for us to hear in the cabin, unless we opened the door. Each morning around 9 am there were announcements for leaving the ship, reminders about when to get back, the weather, etc. I found them very informative. Not a problem at all, unless you were sleeping past that time.
Time in port was short, 9 am to 4 pm or so. You had to be back on board 30 min. to 1 hr. before the ship departure time. We arrived in one port late, and the captain delayed our departure by the amount of time we were late so we all had the correct amount of port time. I totally enjoyed the cruise, and thought Caesars was very nice to have let us take this usually overbooked trip. The weather was not great, but until we got to NYC we did not experience any downpours.
The trip TO the port was too early, 6:45 am at the bus if you stayed at Caesars AC, for a 8 am departure from Harrah's AC. I don't see why we had to go to Harrah's AC at all. No one extra got on the bus. We were supposed to go inside to pick up our bagel, and juice breakfast, but I would rather have slept an hour later.
We arrived at Harrah's AC at 7:05 am, with nothing to do for over an hour. Mill around the bagel box stations.
No direction from the driver. Some people must have gotten off and boarded the wrong bus, as their luggage was not on the bus when we arrived in NYC. Easier to just depart from the hotel you are staying at. No confusion that way. Have someone deliver those bagel and juice boxes to the boardwalk hotel.
Check in at the port was busy, but it is always busy on and off the ship day. Typical.
The itinerary was great. Service on board was great. Specialty restaurants were booked up right away as everyone had shipboard credits to us. Food elsewhere was fine.
I thought the service on board and entertainment was superior to other NCL ships I had been on. Singers and dancers were some of the best I have seen. We had a fantastic time, and want to do this again next year!
THANK YOU CAESARS! FOR A TERRIFIC CRUISE!
