It's funny how a few CC-ers try to puff up their feathers... YOU do NOT!! And, I am so thankful for that! I so appreciate all your tips / tricks. In fact, I took your Butler letter and customized it for us for our next cruise in 13 days! So excited!
We have sailed NCL for over 20 years (probably not as many cruises as you, though). And, we have been afforded some special requests that weren't really requested.. I won't elaborate... it's between us and them. So, I get you about staying incognito! We do, too. It's all about the relationships you / we forge with the staff and crew. Not to expect anything special... just because we like to have those new friends. We are still friends with many NCL-ers from when we first sailed as a family nearly 20 years ago. It's an honor and a privilege to have those friendships.... and NOT to be flaunted!
