I don't usually get the urge to collect things but I took this gaming token from Luna as a memento. I've just noticed it says 'Breakaway' on it – anyone know if each ship has their own tokens? Luna had only been operational for about a month when I sailed so they might not have their own yet.
Trying to figure out whether to purchase MAS Open Bar, or the MAS "everything" offer that would add $50 shore excursion credits, specialty dining add-on, and 150 wi-fi minutes. Wife is primary, and already has 150min wi-fi and $50 Shore Excursion Promotional Credit. Would the $50 and extra 150 wifi minutes stack/add, or would it just be a waste since she already has it?
Open bar is $420 for the room. The all in (open bar, wifi, dining, $50 credit) is $540.
Hello, I want to go on a cruise departing from Galveston, TX in January. I would like to know if the temperature is comfortable, as there is a day at sea on the first and last day between Mexico and Texas. I would really like to be warm 😉.
Just booked my first cruise!!! I got a call from an NCL rep, Very nice lady and she walked me through everything and answered all the questions I had. First step with my first cruise and it already went so smooth! She also told me to call to make sure she gets me the best deals. I'm 27 and I'm really excited. Anyone have any tips on things to bring on a cruise??? Can I bring a iron/portable steamer?? I'm going to the Caribbean for a week so I can only imagine it will be super hot. I would have asked my rep but I had her on the phone for 1.5 hours already :-) Anything will help!!!
Also- Do we get to keep the same rep or do they switch?
I am sailing on the Breakaway soon and wondering if the Shanghai restaurant is included in the cruise fare or not.
I thought all the “Asian” restaurants on the NCL fleet became “specialty” with a cover charge. However, on the Breakaway, it says on the app that it’s still included in the fare (complimentary).
Is this true and if so, how was it? Do you need to make reservations for it while onboard?
Just got home from my first Alaska cruise and mostly enjoyed it. Was a super chill ship and crowd. But I do have a complaint that i think they need to look at.
On Glacier days they did not set up any seating outside to enjoy the views for the day. Deck 7, completely wasted space not used at all, deck 13 all loungers locked away nowhere to sit, complete waste. Then again the same thing on our final 'at sea' day cruising the inside passage with a nice hot sun out, but no chairs, no loungers again.
I did notice though on disembarkation day, they were all set up for the next cruise. Good for them at least, screw us though i guess
We are sailing to Alaska next week, First cruise ever. What is the deal with the in app that so my wife and I can communicate on board. I’m seeing conflicting info of it’s free and not free.
Booked this amazing solo deal (much cheaper for two people). Never seen that before… especially this huge difference in price with studio or OV… only shown when logged in to my account, doesn’t work for my wife or relatives. On my booking confirmation there is promo code “PRATE” which I couldn’t really find much info about… does anyone know anything about this specific kind of deal? Is it more of an error fare? Should I be worried they’ll cancel it? Does “PRATE” mean personal rate or platinum(I am platinum) rate? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks
I going to take tje Norwegian epic from Barcelona to Rome, is my first cruise ever and I am nervous 😥
Anyone know table minimum for blackjack on the aqua?
We will be at Great Stirrup Cay in August, and I want to spend a little time on the island, but not enough to justify renting a cabana. We'll be on Getaway and the only ship there that day. Are there a decent amount of shady spots to sit outside without renting a cabana/Vibe/clamshell?
I will be sailing next month on the Escape. Anyone on the ship now, or who has been recently, that can tell me what the craps game is like? Looking specifically for minimums, bonus bets, etc? Any info will be helpful.
Hi everyone,
I'm bringing my family on their first cruise this summer. I have cruised before but not with Norwegian. I never book excursions as I prefer to just walk around town, however my mother really wants to see the ruins. From what I've seen so far we can do that at most of these stops but everything seems very far away. Additionally, my mother is old...she can walk unassisted but she's slow and too many stairs would be a problem. Here is where we're docking:
Cozumel, Mexico
Roatan, Honduras
Harvest Caye, Belize
Costa Maya, Mexico
Each day we're docked 8am-5pm.
Any suggestions on the easiest way to cross this off her bucket list? I'd love for her to see them, but not if she'll have a terrible time physically, and not having to worry so much about time constraints. Thank you.
NGL this feels weird to have in my purse. First ever cruise is Sunday out of Miami. I already prepaid gratuities but read that I should also bring cash for more tips, and excursion activity. I did 1’s, 5’s and 20’s does anyone have any tips on what is appropriate to tip? $1 per drink?
I booked a cruise for late July on the getaway. I’m 22 and I’m wondering what the meetups will be like. Watched a couple of videos and saw some posts made, looks like an older crowd (50s and up) that attends.
Looking for some people my age that I can have some drinks with and hang out. How often do younger people go to those meetups?
Hey everyone! My group is sailing on the Norwegian Getaway and we’re trying to figure out what to do in Puerto Plata Outside of the NCL.
We have 4 adults in our group, and one person has a back injury so anything super physical (like hiking, waterfalls, ATV rides, rough terrain, etc.) is off the table.
We’re looking for something more low-impact but still fun and a little “adventurous” in the sense of:
Basically something enjoyable that doesn’t require a lot of physical strain but still feels like we got to experience the Dominican Republic.
Has anyone done Puerto Plata recently from this ship/port and have recommendations for excursions that would work for this?
Also open to private tour ideas if that’s the better option for accessibility.
Thanks in advance!
Hey cruisers - hubby and I will be on the Joy to Alaska and are wondering if anyone has recently purchased/used the premium package for work specifically, with VPN & MFA, (on the Alaska route on the Joy) and if they could tell me how it went? Good, bad, unusable? Any details are appreciated! We will both have to work half the days of the cruise and I would like NOT to get fired, if possible. Thanks, y'all!
Since reservations can only be made for even number not odd number of guest, has anyone been charged the no show fee when 3 people show up for a 4 top reservation?
I ask because it seems strange that people that need an odd number odd of seats would have to stand on line at guest services to change from an even number to an odd number of people. I understand about not wanting to waste tables but if 3 show up then the table is not wasted just a chair is empty.
So has any odd numbered party been charged for not cancelling the extra chair 2 hours prior?
Sorry if I'm bustin' chops or breaking rules here, just trying to get some clarity, and searching "epic" on this sub gives me a bunch of posts about how epic things are or aren't.
I haven't been on a cruise in 21 years and I know things have changed.
Are there like Fancy dinners still? I'm seeing items for dining looking for reservations now. Are those required or should I Be able to get in as a walk-in?
I got a package that was like 3x $20 a day dining bonuses or something like that.. what am I looking at here? How does that work?
Hi, for those who had experienced the NCL Alaska cruise, what’s your money saving advices to get to Fortress of the Bear? Thank you in advance!
