NCL Dream Feb 2 2007

[Dan in Winnipeg]

THE CANUCK HOCKEY SQUAD HERE!!!I'm booked with wife and 2 kids. The reviews don't look good but we're going ahead full steam. Bringing rum, tequila, and a partytude. Anyone else going???? I hear it's going to be quiet....which might be good cause I hear there's not enough room. Fellow partyers....are you IN or OUT?

Would love to go, Dan, but unfortunately stuck her ein Norway. I love Canada and canadians. From my time with NCL I had one of my best times with them, never a boring minute!

In tribute to all canadians we know and to our many happy memories onboard we always try to do something special on Canada Day july 1st.

Have a great cruise.

Thank you my friend....you are kind. After reading all the blogs and hearing about the booze policy thing....maybe the party won't get as big as I thought it would. Still looking forward though. Still havn't seen any roll calls for this date yet.

Just pack your booze well in the suitcase. That should work.

So as a staunch defender of NCL - and in every way from what I can see - you are encouraging passengers to violate NCL rules regarding bringing personal alcohol aboard the ship?

[Svein]

I'm saying NCL is a great cruise line. But I'm still a person who also likes a drink or two of my favourite cognac in my cabin. (Of course as a passenger, not crew)

And it's quite natural for me to be NCL's friend and supporter without agreeing to everything they stand for.

I just wanted a clarification, considering your past NCL employment as a safety officer for them and all. It indeed gives us all some perspective.

[Svein]

So you mean, as a former NCL emplyee I should be agreeing to every single rule they come up with in order to promote them as a great cruise line?

Perspective?? At least I'm honest.

[Greyson]

Dont agree, just dont voice your opinion. Did you say you are a "former" employee? If not, you sure dont promote the cruiseline very well. Rules are put in place for a reason, employee or not, they should be followed for your own, as well as everyone elses, safety.
