No one could pay me enough to take a cruise during Spring Break. It does not surprise me at all and this is not an MSC thing.

Not much showing for 25/26 period. I am still waiting on the Caribbean cruises for that time.

But one does not have to. The bartender is not included in the DSC, that is a different tip which you pay individually 20% or when you get the drink packages.

If they didn't, I doubt they would have very many employees.

I agree and mine even shows up on my paperwork as "Prepaid Gratuities" and it is the "DSC" that NCL charges. Just because NCL changed the name does not mean all the agencies did.

Yes that option does still show up even though they are paid. Our TA did not pay ours until about 4 days before the cruise.

Mine shows up on our invoice we received from our TA

We can't mention TA's on this site but yes, I use a TA that is a big corporation and yes they pay our gratuities when we sail on NCL. Never once had a problem and with them. 3 cruises and they were paid everytime.

Nope gonna to sit on my back porch in direct path of the total eclipse with my funny looking glasses and watch it.

Divina 32 days, Seaside 21 days, Seashore 21 days and Meraviglia 11 days

It is by the piece on other days.

Actually I am correcting myself, it is not a half off coupon. It is for a bag of laundry.

I think it is only US veterans, I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong

Are you signed up with NCL's Military Program? 10% off cruise is one of the benefits. On the Epic in January we also received a nice package in the cabin with a patch and metal pin and a nice letter. There was also a Veteran Meeting that was very nice. NCL will verify your military service through Id me and you only need to do it once. There on our when you go to book a cruise you are automatically given your benefits. Also available for spouses.

Mid week the ship runs a special and places a coupon for a bag of laundry 1/2 off in your cabin for you to use.
