ProRes at 4096 x 2160, 3840 x 2160 and 1920 x 1080 with film, extended video or video dynamic range or custom 3D LUT. Maximum sensor frame rate dependent on resolution and codec selected. Project frame rates of 23.98, 24, 25, 29.97, 30, 50, 59.94 and 60 fps supported. With similar goals to its standalone Ninja monitors/recorders, the Phone Ninja connects a camera's HDMI out to a compatible iPhone for live view, recording, live streaming and file transfer. Popular photo sharing service Photobucket recently revealed that the 13 billion images it hosts online could be used to train AI models. We explain what changes made this possible and suggest some cloud storage alternatives to keep your data private.

The quality of RAW and the speed of video!

If you are a cinematographer working in a traditional workflow, the BMPCC 6K G2 is a great choice that gets better if you’re invested in the Blackmagic ecosystem and own other cameras in the company’s line. For those using a hard drive, it’s possible to plug a device into a workstation and edit that footage directly. Unlike modern autofocus systems, the BMPCC only focuses on the center of the frame, and there are no points to move around to select a subject elsewhere. The result is a system better used in manual focus, with autofocus only to help jump to a starting point.

Features

That means you get images that have a natural, film like response to color adjustments in post with DaVinci Resolve Studio. Blackmagic PYXIS features a massive full frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032. That's almost three times larger than a Super 35 sensor and allows customers to shoot with a shallow depth of field or to use anamorphic lenses uncropped for a true cinematic look. Whether users are shooting in bright sunlight or in almost no light at all, the 13 stops of dynamic range with dual native ISO up to 25,600 provide stunning low noise images in all lighting conditions.

The battery grip allows three batteries to be loaded which is a big help, although still not likely enough to get through a day of shooting. You are therefore faced with purchasing an ample supply of the petite standard batteries and chargers or adding something big and chunky like a battery base or v-mount solution. I found the footage captured pleasing to the eye, smooth, and organic looking.

The best option though is the ability to plug in a drive over USB-C and record directly to that, making importing and managing files much more accessible. This is not a feature unique to Blackmagic, but it is nice to have and allows you to bypass buying multiple expensive media cards in lieu of one reasonably priced multi-purpose external SSD. The BMPCC 6K G2 does record internal gyroscope data that the Resolve editing suite can use for post-processing stabilization, but that comes with a caveat. Feeling optimistic, we drove to the local university campus and started assembling our gear. With all the attached bells and whistles, it was amusing to note that the smallest object mounted to the tripod was the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera itself! We walked around the campus, looking for areas of high contrast that would stress the capabilities of the sensor.

Eliminate Rigging with Adjustable HDR Monitor

The new ATEM Mini makes it easy to create professional multi camera productions for live streaming to YouTube and innovative business presentations using Skype! Simply connect Pocket Cinema Cameras to ATEM Mini for dramatically better quality images. There's even a DVE that allows picture in picture effects plus lots of video effects and transitions. All ATEM Mini models have USB that works like a webcam so you can use any streaming software while the ATEM Mini Pro model adds live streaming via Ethernet and recording to USB disks. The Pocket Cinema Camera works with industry standard 17 and 33 point 3D LUT files, or you can work with the built in LUTs such as Extended Video, Film to Video, Film to Rec.2020 and more.

Camera Features

The Pocket Cinema Camera 4K has a dual native ISO, meaning there are two ISOs where noise is at its minimum. At 1,250 ISO, the camera jumps to the low noise range of the native 3,200 ISO setting. It doesn’t eliminate noise at higher ISOs, but it does buy another stop or two of usable ISO before noise is an issue in the image. We saw noise start at ISO 400 and was acceptable all the way up to ISO 6400.

The 12-40mm f/2.8, the 7-14mm f/2.8 and the 25mm f/1.2 all cost under $1,300. These gave us the full frame equivalent of a 23-76mm f/2.8, 13-27mm f/2.8 and 48mm f/1.2 prime. That’s a very usable range of top-notch lenses at an affordable price point. Regardless, if you need to shoot for hours in 4K RAW, expect to shell out more for media than you did for the camera.That’s where having ProRes is handy.

Three Great Models!

The EVF is extremely easy to connect to the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K as it simply mounts on top of the camera with a single screw. The viewfinder has a 70 degree swivel range and comes with 4 different types of eyecups for both left and right eyes. The Pocket Cinema Cameras feature dual gain ISO up to 25,600, which means they're optimized to minimize grain or noise in images, while maintaining the full dynamic range of the sensor. You get a new dynamic 12-bit gamma curve designed to capture more color data in the highlights and shadows, for better looking images. The color science also handles some of the complex Blackmagic RAW image processing, so color and dynamic range data from the sensor is preserved via metadata which you can use in post production. That means you get images that have a natural, film like response to color adjustments in post with DaVinci Resolve.

As we looked through each menu, we found that the controls were somewhat simplified compared to many cameras we have worked with. For instance, the Camera Settings section lets you set the name of your camera, the time and date, the ISO sensitivity (four settings), the white balance (six settings), and the shutter angle. Overall, the design is simple, yet elegant, and shows off Blackmagic Design’s ability to cram a lot of power and features into such a small package. Now it is time to see how the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera performed in real life. Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6K features a massive full frame sensor with a native resolution of 6048 x 4032.

You can say it would increase the cost, but I'm sure that a hinge would increase the price less than buying an extenal monitor. Due to 3, above, the camera operator and director will often be different people. A director can just as easily view footage from the side as the rear. And there will often be a larger display on the camera or on set anyway. It’s not a run-and-gun kind of camera but a tool for carefully prepared shots from a tripod, gimbal, or drone. So it doesn’t matter much that it can’t be controlled from the shoulder.

Above $2500 cameras tend to become increasingly specialized, making it difficult to select a 'best' option. We case our eye over the options costing more than $2500 but less than $4000, to find the best all-rounder. And if you want to record RAW, you still have to attach BM Video Assist. I still see a MAJOR selling point adding a hinge to the screen as is, at the cost of $1-200 (can't imagine being more...). I like how the announcement says the product will likely have much worse shutter performance than a sony product. ‘Mountain Bike’ is Joey’s test of the camera’s high speed performance.

That means customers can connect an SDI display for on set monitoring of images, with or without overlays that show critical information and camera status. SDI allows for much longer cable runs than HDMI making it easier to reach monitors that are further away on set. Blackmagic PYXIS records in Blackmagic RAW to preserve control of detail, exposure and color during post production.

'Road House' 2024 Movie: Trailer, Cast, Release Date and Details

• Release

Once again, Dalton bends over backwards to be nice, until it’s time not to be nice. Once again, we’re reminded that no one wins in a fight, except the moviegoer, who gets to satisfy an inherent bloodlust by indulging in the second-hand thrills of an epic barroom brawl in Margaritaville. Liman’s Road House doesn’t quite reach the original movie's level of silliness. As the new Dalton, Gyllenhaal embodies the Swayze character’s faux-zen credo—“Be nice…until it’s time to not be nice”—without cribbing the line outright.

Where to Watch

Their version ends up being a sweet-natured, hilarious, and, of course, psychotically violent tribute to an unlikely masterpiece, and the creators’ affection for the original article shines through in every frame. Judging by the trailer, Gyllenhaal appears to have gotten pretty ripped for the film. Released on Jan. 25, the first trailer for “Road House” introduces viewers to Dalton, the former UFC fighter who has a tendency to get in brawls with multiple men.

How the New Road House Updates the Bizarre, Beer-Sluggin’ Best Bad Movie of All Time

The Double Deuce is the meanest, loudest and rowdiest bar south of the Mason-Dixon Line, and Dalton has been hired to clean it up. He might not look like much, but the Ph.D.-educated bouncer proves he's more than capable – busting the heads of troublemakers and turning the roadhouse into a jumping hot spot. But Dalton's romance with the gorgeous Dr. Clay puts him on the bad side of cutthroat local big shot Brad Wesley. Terrell Smith has a diverse writing background having penned material for a wide array of clients including the federal government and Bravo television personalities.

‘Road House’ Review: This Remake Amps Up the Action

At his most winning despite his character’s lethal nature, Gyllenhaal keeps up the one-liners and drollery. In lieu of Swayze’s Zenlike musings, he gives us dry inquiries about whether his challengers have medical insurance before pummeling and delivering them to a hospital. Troubled former UFC middleweight fighter Elwood Dalton makes a living scamming fighters on the underground circuit. He is approached by Frankie, the owner of an unruly roadhouse in the Florida Keys community of Glass Key, who offers him a job as head bouncer.

Distraught, Dalton storms Wesley's estate, kills most of his henchmen and defeats, but relents from killing Wesley, refusing to give in to his anger. Elizabeth arrives and reconciles with Dalton, but Wesley recovers and attempts to shoot him before being shot dead by the locals, including Emmett and Red. Sometime later, the modernized and refined Double Deuce bustles with customers while Dalton and Elizabeth swim together in a lake. Wesley's nephew Pat, who is one of the fired employees, intimidates Tilghman into giving him his job back and attacks Dalton, who badly injures Pat and his accomplices. Receiving a knife wound in the process, Dalton visits a hospital and befriends Dr. Elizabeth Clay to whom Wesley is also attracted.

After Dalton meets Ellie (Daniela Melchior), a reprise of Kelly Lynch’s doctor-slash-romantic-interest from the original, Road House slips into a groove. The electric blue of Florida’s keys provide a fresh, picturesque backdrop to a lot of B movie pulp, but the rest is properly familiar. Once again, a particularly loathsome rich prick, played by a deep-in-the-douchebag-pocket Billy Magnusson, is behind all of the troublemaking. Once again, an alpha brute in the form of Knox (Conor McGregor) is brought in to take the hero down.

Other media

She’s been tipped off that the heavily tattooed slugger (yes, that is indeed Post Malone) wiping the floor with all comers may be the person she’s looking for. The person who attracts her attention, however, is the mystery man in the hoodie who’s just entered the makeshift ring. Meanwhile, the new Dalton—a disgraced UFC fighter rather than a world-famous bouncer—punches people in the head in undisguised closeups that, even once seen, can barely be believed. Computer trickery is involved for sure, but even so, if you’ve seen enough fights to know what CTE is, this is nightmarish stuff. Directed by (I kid you not) Rowdy Herrington and shepherded to life by super-producer Joel Silver, the original Road House has a bad reputation, one that it frankly deserves.

He’s polite to a fault, asking an assortment of creeps about their insurance coverage and proximity to the nearest hospital before beating the tar out of them—this is the source of much of the film’s droll (yes, droll) sense of humor. Billy Magnussen shines as the Gazzara-style villain, a flop-sweating, smarmy scion of a rich criminal who comes across like a long-lost Trump son. And then there’s Conor McGregor as Knox, a sociopath who launches like he was shot out of a cannon into the back half of the movie to finish the job with Dalton. Knox brings a spark to a movie that's getting dry, but McGregor’s performance is equally fascinating and baffling, delivered almost entirely through a massive grin like he’s doing a bit at a weigh-in before a match.

"Road House" exists right on the edge between the "good-bad movie" and the merely bad. I hesitate to recommend it, because so much depends on the ironic vision of the viewer. We are expected to believe that the sadist financed these hunting expeditions by shaking down the businesmen in a town that, on the visible evidence, contains a bar, a general store, a Ford dealership and two residences. "Road House" is the kind of movie that leaves reality so far behind that you have to accept it on its own terms. Road House can sometimes be so bad it's good, but more often, the uneven acting and ridiculous story are just disappointing.

Over half a dozen men will die for this.” When you’ve literally written the book on Road House, the 1989 Patrick Swayze cult classic action extravaganza, you get pretty good at summarizing its bizarre, beer-sluggin’ appeal, and that’s my best attempt. In this action landmark, Swayze plays Dalton, a “cooler” (head bouncer in charge) with a philosophy degree from NYU and a new gig at a Missouri hellhole. Ben Gazzara (of The Big Lebowski and the original Broadway production of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof fame) plays the real-estate developer and organized crime boss out to stop him from cleaning up the joint. More damaging than underwritten character dynamics is the overall tone of “Road House,” which needed to be far more tactile to be effective.

One evening, the auto shop adjacent to the Double Deuce — owned by Elizabeth's uncle Red Webster — is destroyed in an arson attack. After Dalton and the crowds return inside the Double Deuce, they find Wesley awaiting them. He has his men fight Dalton's bouncers and damage the bar before agreeing to leave. Wesley sabotages other businesses as the local owners discuss their futile efforts to stop him. Garrett attempts to calm Dalton, trying to assuage his guilt about killing in self-defense and his frustration at being unable to end Wesley's campaign.

The 1989 movie where Patrick Swayze is a professional New York City bouncer imported to Missouri to work at the most raucous road house bar in the Show Me State? The kind of film in which the hero does tai chi, reads philosophy and coos Zen koans like “Pain don’t hurt,” and the bad guy utters bon mots like, “I used to fuck guys like you in prison? That first stand-off in the parking lot of the road house — named Road House, because what else would you call the joint? The bar’s staff ranges from a daffy bartender (B.K. Cannon) to an apprentice bouncer (Lukas Gage). A band is always playing some of sort of tropically flavored version of a blues, zydeco, gospel and/or rock staple behind a wire fence onstage. Dalton exudes the confidence of a person who understands how do maximum damage yet doesn’t jump into the fray until he has to, and even then, he escorts the gang into the parking lot.

Frankie admits that Brandt has been buying up property to build an expensive resort, but she is the lone holdout. Dalton decides to leave town but discovers that Charlie and Stephen are in the hospital after Brandt's men burned down their bookstore. Enraged, Dalton kills one of the thugs responsible and captures a sheriff's deputy making a large delivery of Brandt's illicit cash, framing the deputy for the murder and taking the money. The sheriff soon informs Dalton that Brandt has kidnapped Ellie and will exchange her for the money. Turns out you can’t—and that’s exactly the strength of the new film, out on Prime Video on March 21. Liman, Gyllenhaal, and company recognize that what made the original Road House so delightfully stupid won’t quite work in 2024.

Of course, in a town with two residences, there may not be much pent-up housing demand. Road House has achieved cult status and was voted as the most watched film on cable in 2020.[5][6] A sequel titled Road House 2 was released in 2006 and a remake with the same name was released in 2024. As silly as it sounds, that push-and-pull between realism and cartoonish insanity that rests in McGregor’s performance is indicative of the quality of the movie overall. Gyllenhaal is making one movie—a story of an almost-Zen fighter pushed past his breaking point—while people like Magnusson and McGregor lean into the ridiculousness in the other half. Of course, there are a lot of ‘80s movies with grounded heroes and exaggerated villains, but this new “Road House” makes one appreciate the balance of those more.

Top Billed Cast

Dalton’s climactic mano a mano with lead goon Jimmy—choreographed in large part by Swayze and his scene partner Marshall Teague themselves—is one of the greatest fight scenes ever filmed, full stop. But Road House is known as the best bad movie of all time because of the considerable chops involved in making it. Romantic leads Swayze and Kelly Lynch were coming in hot off sexy performances in the smash hits Dirty Dancing and Cocktail, and they look every inch the babes they’re supposed to be. Swayze in particular is a fascinating casting choice for the role, bringing his trained dancer’s physicality to the ass-kicking contest and winning over and over again. Lynch is one of the few humans alive at the time who could hold up her end of a nude scene with a Swayze in that condition. Elliott, meanwhile, has had every woman I know who’s watched this movie reacting like a wolf in a Tex Avery cartoon.

Climbing up on a causeway, Knox carjacks a pickup truck and crashes into the Road House, leading to a brutal fistfight with Dalton.

Initially hesitant, Dalton takes up the offer after narrowly averting a suicide attempt with a freight train that destroys his car. He takes a bus to Frankie's establishment, called simply The Road House, and befriends Charlie, a teenager who runs a bookstore with her father, Stephen. Road House is a 2024 American action film directed by Doug Liman, written by Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry and produced by Joel Silver. It is a remake of the 1989 film of the same name and stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Daniela Melchior, Conor McGregor (in his feature film debut), J. Later, Wesley contacts Dalton threatening that either Elizabeth or Garrett will die. Garrett is attacked, but fights off his assailants and comes to Double Deuce, while Dalton checks on Elizabeth, who is safe but unwilling to talk to Dalton any further.

He struts and smiles like an aggro Popeye, and it feels like Liman told him to go over the top and so McGregor shot to the moon. There are times when his awkward line readings sound abjectly wrong, but maybe that’s intentional? It’s a constant push-and-pull of whether or not McGregor is purposefully awkward because Knox is a sociopath or if the fighter just doesn’t yet know how to put words together on screen. Fans of the original Road House know it starred the late Patrick Swayze as James Dalton, a bouncer hired at a roadside bar who was tasked with whipping the establishment into shape.

‘Road House’ Review: Jake Gyllenhaal Takes Command in an Ultraviolent Retread That Makes Slumming Look Artful.

When he’s not writing as Terrell, he’s writing under his pseudonym Tavion Scott, creating scripts for his audio drama podcasts. Terrell is a huge fan of great storytelling when it comes to television and film. Some of his favorite shows include The Crown, WandaVision, Abbot Elementary and Godfather of Harlem.

Extraordinarily stupid, sure, in that it involves a lot of drunken yokels being socked in the jaw and tossed through tables. But cinematographer Dean Cundey (Jurassic Park, Back to the Future) and editors John F. Link (Die Hard, Predator) and Frank J. Uribe (RoboCop, Basic Instinct) made it a work of art. The battles between Dalton and his bouncers on one end and Brad Wesley’s goons on the other are near-constant and always impactful.

Especially in the first hour, when director Doug Liman and Anthony Bagarozzi & Charles Mondry are setting the table for what’s to come, there’s a fun B-movie throwback aesthetic to “Road House” that clicks for long stretches. However, once this defiantly goofy movie starts to take itself seriously, and asks us too often to do the same, the wheels come off with ridiculous twists, awkward line readings, and some of the worst fight CGI in years. This movie is so top-heavy with plot, it can even afford to ignore some obvious possibilities.

They also set Dalton’s character as the kind of guy who drives his enemies to the hospital after he beats them up. When “Road House” opens, Elwood Dalton (Gyllenhaal) has fallen from grace. We don’t know how, but we know he’s so famous and so physically imposing that he scares combatants (including Post Malone) out of a fight club ring before they even throw a punch. Her establishment has been threatened by local, motorcycle-riding tough guys for weeks and she can barely stay open. “Road House is the story of one bouncer’s quest to free a small town from the iron fist of the guy who is on the verge of opening the area’s first JC Penney.

At said hospital, Dalton meets a doctor named Ellie (Daniela Melchior), who challenges his alleged altruism—after all, he just clogged up her ER with a bunch of idiots who wouldn’t be there if he wasn’t such a tough guy in the first place. Obviously, Ellie will be the love interest for Dalton, but the film takes forever to get there and then backs away from their relationship almost immediately, turning elements of Ellie’s life into plot twists. It’s understandable that Dalton is hesitant to be happy again given the trauma that’s revealed about his past, but the dynamic between him and Ellie is one of several in this film that feels uncertain of its own purpose. In the ‘80s movies that “Road House” so desperately wants to be, there’d be actual passion between Dalton and Ellie instead of the tentative stuff that unfolds here more out of narrative necessity.

Norwegian Cruise Line Explains After Switching Port

Although ParkNSave offers a convenient location that’swithin walking distance from the cruise port, they charge exactly the sameamount that port parking does. Whether or not you decide to park here is allabout preference. Still, the convenience of parking here is a huge pull formany people and can eliminate a lot of trip stress.

Manhattan Cruise Terminal Address

It’s certainly not as convenient as parking right at the port, but in exchange you get a much cheaper rate. So, in essence, street parking IS free on Sundays (and some holidays.. and sometimes between 2am-5am), but not any other day of the week. Since cruises aren’t exactly daytrips, this option won’t work out.

There are even porters available who can drop you off at the terminal in your own car, help you handle your luggage and then valet your vehicle back to their indoor parking garage. This can eliminate the need for a shuttle, taxi, or securing other means of transportation to and from the cruise port. The Fairfield Inn & Suites North Bergen offers contemporary accommodations located conveniently close to mid-town Manhattan and the Manhattan Cruise Terminal.

Another bonus is that because this option is a parking garage, your car is guaranteed to be located indoors for the duration of your cruise. The parking garage is well-lit and secure, so safety wouldn’t be an issue here either and there is plenty of parking due to the size of the structure. While they don’t offer transportation to the cruise terminal,a quick cab or Uber shouldn’t cost more than $10.

Is there free parking near Manhattan Cruise Terminal?

All cars enter the Terminal from the north at the intersection of 55th Street and 12th Avenue (State Route 9A).

These ships prioritize passenger comfort and leisure, resulting in a longer duration for transatlantic crossings. However, with longer travel times, passengers can enjoy more time to relax, indulge in onboard entertainment, and take advantage of the ship’s amenities. Some voyages stop at several different ports along the way, which is why they are longer. Typically, though, an 11-night voyage will spend seven days at sea, with stops in the mid-Atlantic Azores islands and Bermuda’s Royal Naval Dockyard.

Onboard Entertainment

Enjoy a visit to the magnificent Royal residence of Windsor Castle, the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world. Tour the splendid State Apartments and grand St George’s Hall, admire the world-famous Queen Mary's Dolls' House, and explore the charming town of Windsor.

Some of our repositioning cruises, for example, sail from the Caribbean to South America, or through the Panama Canal. In fact, we have found that cruising to Europe with NCL offers up to 40%2 more value than a similar land-based vacation, making it not just a memorable experience, but a cost-effective one. There is still time for guests to book that last-minute trip to Europe with NCL and enjoy the beauty of waking up in a new destination nearly every day. The first, which we dub a "repositioning" voyage, takes place in spring and fall, when many cruise lines move their ships between seasons in Europe and in the Caribbean.

Embark on an expedition cruise and witness breathtaking icebergs and penguins by the beach from the top deck, all as you take in once-in-a-lifetime moments. Don't miss cruising Antarctica and experiencing some of the most exhilarating destinations in the world. Ultimately, the duration of an Atlantic cruise will depend on your specific cruise line, ship, itinerary, and personal preferences.

Beyond budget, another qualifying factor to consider is the length of the trip. If you have lots of vacation time to burn and want low stress days, few decisions-to-make during your trip, repositioning cruises can make nice long and reasonably priced getaways. If your time off is more limited, Cunard's scheduled crossings can work well for those seeking a weeklong holiday or want to take a pet along. (Pets travel in the ship’s kennel but get daily exercise time and visiting time with their owners several times a day).

For transatlantic cruises, the best time to set sail is either spring and fall, when the weather is still warm but prices are more affordable. However, transpacific cruises are recommended during the Southern Hemisphere's winter, from May to October. Now that we have discussed the route options, let’s dive into the time taken by different types of ships for transatlantic crossings. Some guests bring along an e-reader full of novels, while others catch up on movies, try their luck in the casino, or spend time unwinding in the spa or fitness center.

Cruise ships on transatlantic crossings offer many educational, entertaining, and fun activities on the many sea days. For example, guests can take classes in computing, photography, cooking, bridge, fitness, or ballroom dancing. Or, they can attend lectures on a variety of topics that expand their knowledge on history, travel, health, music, or art. Smaller ships and more luxury brands tend to feature more guest lecturers and educational opportunities than larger ships do. Ultra-luxury line Silversea will be sending its brand-new Silver Nova ship across the Atlantic from New York to Lisbon in November 2023 on an 11-day voyage with prices starting at $3,950 per person.

Spring and autumn are the peak seasons for Atlantic crossings when cruise lines reposition ships. Truly cherish your time onboard one of the industry’s best cruise ships as you let the ocean breeze carry you along. Gaze upon the rippling waters of the Atlantic Ocean as you await each carefully chosen port city’s experience. You may spend some time in Caribbean islands, the Western Mediterranean or Northern Europe during your cruise, each bringing something new and exciting to your vacation. Every season has its pros and cons when it comes to transatlantic cruises, however, for the most favourable weather conditions a sailing between December and May is considered optimal. This long uninterrupted length at sea is one of the most unique features of transatlantic cruises.

Until it was popularized by the 1992 Olympics, Barcelona was a hidden gem amidst Europe’s diverse landscapes. Now it’s widely recognized for its architectural masterpieces and spirited customs. Holland America Line offers transatlantic and repositioning itineraries] on a half dozen of its ships as well. A longer, 13-night westbound crossing from Barcelona takes you to Valencia, Málaga, and Gibraltar before heading out into the ocean.

This bonus value is an estimated valuation calculated by UP after analyzing redemption options, transfer partners, award availability and how much UP would pay to buy these points. For the 3 packages above, you must be 21 years old or older to purchase. If 1 person purchases a package, everyone (over 21 years old) residing in the same stateroom or additional staterooms that were under the same form of payment is required to purchase it.

Weekend Cruises

The vessel itself is smaller than ships in the line's previous class, and although it's family-friendly, it also houses a downsized version of the Splash Academy kids club, which lacks dedicated teen spaces. However, the ship has seen growth in the way of a larger onboard suite area with a better location and one of the fleet's largest go-kart tracks — something the Prima Class adopted from previous hardware. Norwegian offers a selection of specialty dining restaurants that come with an additional cost (some offer à la carte pricing while others come with a flat per person charge). Norwegian Cruise Line was a pioneer with its Freestyle Dining program. There are no set dining times or assigned seats, as is customary with “traditional” dining on many cruise lines.

Norwegian Sun is considerably smaller and older than most cruise ships sailing today.

Also, our transfer from Tokyo cruise terminal never materialised probably due to the confusion as to where the ship was docking. Having to complete everything online was a chore for 3 persons - including uploading photos for ID (which in one case failed and caused delay on check-in). The club balcony suite needed vacuuming as there was significant amount of debris on the carpeting and under the bed (where the suitcases were stored). When in port the ship tilted to the rear so if the shower was used it rose above the lip and flooded the bathroom.

Norwegian Viva shows

Unlike the majority of big-ship cruise lines, Norwegian doesn't require tipping or even recommend an amount for it, beyond the 20% automatically added for spa and salon services plus beverage purchases. But, they do point out that they encourage their staff to "go the extra mile" and that their employees are allowed to accept cash gratuities for outstanding service. So, it's up to you, but know that your stateroom attendant, the counselors in the kids' club, and your dining room servers would probably not turn down a tip. In general, Norwegian's newer ships including Norwegian Viva, Norwegian Prima and the Breakaway-class and Breakaway Plus-class vessels will be more expensive than the line's older, smaller ships. However, there are many factors that go into pricing for any given cruise, including the popularity of the specific itinerary, the time of year when the cruise is taking place and changing demand trends.

Norwegian has a point-based frequent cruiser program, Latitudes Rewards, that has seven tiers, ranging from Bronze (requiring 1 point) to Ambassador (700 points). Norwegian allows you to bring bottles of your own wine or Champagne on board, but it will charge you a hefty corkage fee of $15 per bottle for the privilege — even if you plan to drink the bottle in your room. Most lines allow passengers to bring at least a bottle or two of their own wine on board at no charge. Passports must be valid for at least six months after your trip, and the name on your reservation must be exactly as it's printed on your passport or other official proof of nationality. Just be warned that you'll pay a hefty fee to play in the Galaxy Pavilion.

While not the biggest vessels in the Norwegian fleet, these ships will be notably packed with restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and decktop attractions. They also mark a more upscale turn for the line, with more space per passenger than earlier Norwegian ships and lots of suites. Anyone who cruises Breakaway should know the cruise fare is a starter price. While many restaurants and activities are included in the cruise fare, it's really the extras that create a special experience.

Onboard Activities

Our experience onboard a seven-night cruise felt so much like a jam-packed stay at a really good Las Vegas resort that we only remembered we were on a ship when looking out to sea. One of two ships in the line's Sun class that date to the turn of the millennium, Norwegian Sky is far from the snazziest ship in the Norwegian fleet. At 77,104 tons and carrying 1,944 passengers, it's just half the size of Norwegian's biggest ships and has far fewer venues, from bars and restaurants to entertainment spaces. There is no giant water park on its top deck or a go-kart track to keep the kids busy all day, so it's not the best Norwegian Cruise Line ship for families. Those looking to avoid the crowds can escape to Mandara Spa or the adults-only Vibe Beach Club, or cozy up with a book in the breathtaking Observation Lounge with two-deck high windows at the front of the ship. Around 17% smaller than Norwegian's biggest vessels, Prima and Viva are the first tow of six sister ships that the line will roll out between now and 2027 that will significantly change the composition of its fleet.

Broadway show "Beetlejuice" was in tech rehearsals at the time, and an onboard rendition of the popular game show "Press Your Luck" also hadn't debuted. The state-of-the-art fitness center features yoga equipment, free weights and TechnoGym machines like bikes, ellipticals, rowers and treadmills. If you find yourself meandering on Deck 8's Oceanwalk, you might consider stopping at Soleil Bar, found all the way aft overlooking the wake.

Indeed, the ship often is at the top of the list when you sort cruises by lowest price on Norwegian's website. Norwegian Sky is the Norwegian ship to pick when you're looking for a low-cost, easy-to-do getaway — at least in the summer months. In short, these are the Norwegian ships to book when you want to take things up a notch.

A bigger caveat, perhaps, is that these solo cabins have become so popular they often sell out far in advance and at prices that aren't much better than booking a cabin for two. Only solos staying in the solo cabins (via keycards) can access the Studio Lounge, meaning that you and your new solo friends will have the place to yourselves. Still, Norwegian Prima isn't necessarily the best Norwegian Cruise Line ship for you. Whether you'll have a better time on one of the other 18 vessels in the Norwegian fleet will depend a lot on the type of traveler you are. Over the years, I've sailed on all but three of Norwegian's 19 vessels, and my personal favorite is Norwegian Prima.

Note that the ship does not have laser tag or a basketball court, as do other NCL ships. Also on Deck 18 is the entrance to Viva Speedway, the ship's go-kart track. From there, you can sign up to drive, check in for your reservation or head up one deck to grab a drink at the Viva Speedway Bar so you have something to sip on as you watch drivers zoom past. A kids splash area is located on Deck 18, near the entrance to The Wave waterslide. Two dry slides — The Drop and The Rush — spiral 10 decks down the side of the ship.

Every opportunity was made to extract even more money from the traveller - with 2 phone messages urging us to take advantage of future cruise offers and points. This was to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to this part of the world which we had dreamed of visiting, unfortunately it was - all for the wrong reasons. The exclusive, keycard-accessed suite complex called The Haven (found on 13 of Norwegian's 19 ships) comes with private lounges, pools and other tony features. It's essentially a small, luxury vessel that has been planted atop otherwise middle-class, mass-market megaships.

It feels like the ceilings aren't as low, and the space lacks the dark colors that can make other atriums induce a feeling of claustrophobia. It's a much more pleasant (albeit louder) space than on some of Norwegian's previous vessels. At 143,535 gross registered tons and carrying 3,099 passengers at double occupancy, Norwegian Viva is smaller than the last two classes of ships NCL rolled out, but don't make the mistake of thinking it's small. I sailed on a nine-night voyage when the ship was at roughly two-thirds of its capacity and was disappointed to note the ship sometimes felt crowded. The pools weren't large enough, it was difficult to snag reservations for go-karts and escape rooms, and some performance venues were standing room only. If a spa experience is what you’re after, consider booking a Spa Suite, Mini-Suite, or Balcony Stateroom.

The Haven suite complex also has a private wake-facing pool and hot tubs on decks 16 and 17 for passengers booked in The Haven suite enclave. The Haven Restaurant functions as the free main dining room for passengers booked in The Haven suite complex. It's open daily to passengers with access, and it features a set menu for the entire sailing. Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Viva takes the best of everything about NCL and wraps it up in a stylish package that offers great food, friendly service, compelling entertainment and modern, classy design. The ship, part of Norwegian's new Prima Class, is interesting in that, while some aspects of the ship experience have shrunk, others have expanded.

Smith Cove Cruise Terminal – Pier 91

A pivotal moment in the history of Seattle’s cruise port came with the rise of Alaskan cruises. When comparing Seattle Alaska cruises to ones from Vancouver, Seattle departures tend to have shorter port times. Most itineraries arrive in Juneau in the afternoon due to the longer travel time. Allowing you to embark on the cruise ship is at the discretion of the CBSA agent. Should you get onboard, it’s advisable not to disembark in Victoria, drive from Skagway to the Yukon, or take the White Pass Railroad. When taking an Alaska cruise from Seattle, vessels stop in Victoria, British Columbia, to comply with the Passenger Vessel Services Act.

All Silver Cloud hotels also have a 100% pet-free and smoke-free environment. If you’re wanting to take a taxi, it offers one of the least expensive ways of getting to the Seattle cruise ports, but we’d still favor using Uber or Lyft over a regular cab. Seattle Yellow Cab is the most visible company in the city and has stands in the Sea-Tac International Airport. It’s tempting to consider these lots as a way to save some cash, but keep in mind the distance between the airport and the cruise port. Any money saved on parking will likely be eaten up by the cost of commuting to your ship.

For instance, Carnival offers a round-trip ride for $35 per person, each way. So a couple traveling together would pay around $70 to get to the ship and $140 for a round trip. The story of Seattle’s emergence as a major cruise port is a fascinating journey through time, reflecting the city’s growth and its evolving relationship with the sea. Located at 2001 West Garfield Street, the Smith Cove port sits on the Seattle waterfront but not within walking distance of downtown.

Arrange a ride at the front desk staff 24 hrs before departure. A town car or van will pick you up and get you to the cruise ship pier. There is a Sky Bridge connecting the cruise ship with the covered parking garage making it very easy to walk across to the garage from the cruise terminal. There is also a complimentary shuttle between the parking lot and the cruise terminal.

The Port of Seattle works with a third-party company to provide parking for cruises from Pier 66 and Pier 91. Of course, if you rent a car you will have to pay to park it at the port once you get there. For a list of Seattle hotels with cruise shuttles, see our page here. With this option you can have your stay and transportation taken care of in one transaction.

The same system also makes this the ideal place to drop off cruisers who are checking in. General ParkingPier 91 parking is available to all cruise passengers.

Seattle CruiseParkThis lot is located just north of Pier 91, very close to the official port parking. Despite its location near this cruise terminal, it serves as parking for both Pier 91 and Pier 66. A skybridge connects the Pier 66 garage to the cruise terminal. There are handicap-accessible parking spots available on a first-come, first-serve basis. You can catch the light rail at the airport and ride it to the Westlake Station in downtown Seattle.
