  1. if ncl know about the cancellations back in December, why did they wait until like now nearly 4ish months later to send out notifications about the port cancellations . thats strange
  2. Google voice calling does not work, only messaging works on all of the ships ive been on I think it is due to a technical limitation of the current system that the ships currently have. As more ships get upgraded to starlink, that should improve connectivity for wifi calling.
  3. 2 week gap is usually due to some kind of dry dock inspection
  4. there is no such thing as fixed dinning on NCL
  5. this is not new, cruise lines been doing this for years. Look at the watches they have onboard the ship and compare to online prices
  6. that usually don't mean anything. when the hostess swipes your card they will see you have the dining package in the system and will ask you do you want to use the package or al la carte . you then say package if you want to use it
  7. it is better to cancel the soda and wifi packages first before to canceling the whole cruise. when you cancel the cruise, there is suppose to be a auto refund and auto cancellation on those package however sometimes those fail. that is why it better to cancel the package first
  8. yes that is correct. If a ship were to tender, it will say grassy bay on the schedule
  9. you are thinking about Bar Harbor that is limiting cruise ships. i can not find anything about Newport doing the same thing Newport is a tender port, if the weather is not right for tendering the port will be skipped
  10. on my cruises, it is somewhat not organized at all. When you get there, they tell you where to sit. Then they call out the tours where you leave the theater. once you leave theater, you need to navigate the crowds (both the theater crowd and regular ship crowd) of getting off the ship. trying to get an elevator can be impossible. When you get off the ship, you still need to find the shore excursion people holding the sign for the excursions . it is soooo much easier and better if the tour tickets say meet on the pier like what some tours and other cruise lines do. And thats what you eventfully do once you leave the theater. there is no reason to go the theater first from what i noticed over the years my experience is just like what 9tee2Sea posted above
  11. I am on sailing on the breakaway in the middle of October, on my cruise when I look at the various official port schedules there is a good chance that both Portland and Bar Harbor will be canceled. Norwegian has not sent out any itinerary changes emails yet.
  12. Bermuda cruise ship schedule: http://www.rccbermuda.bm/Documents/Shipping_schedules/2024 Cruise Ship Schedule.pdf shows the ship in port 8am on Wednesday September 4 and leaving on 12pm on Friday the cruise manager may not be used to overnights so it could be glitch on the website. i seen overnights listed like Bermuda day 1 8am to 11:59pm, Bermuda day 2 12:00am to 11:59pm and so on
  13. carnival stock no longer pays dividend like what it did back in the day. i bought my stock back in the day when it was in the highs 50's. it will take like 10+ years or longer to see those prices again
  14. i always call for price drops because you never know if you need to make an additional payment. if you book when they was a reduce deposit and the reprice does not have that then you need to submit a payment so your booking has the correct full deposit
