Hello fellow Tarhill! ( From the state of NC not UNC but APP all the way ) I grew up in Charlotte and we now live in Winston-Salem. Also, I got my Masters at 47. It's never too late. I just wanted to say hello and I'm enjoying your posts.

OK i did get some answers today from NCL and American Express. I feel much better now. What ever NCL does not cover our AmEx will as we have trip insurance through them too. One thing I left out of my post is that I am in pain from my knee so without the surgery the trip would have been difficult as well. In other words, I need to have the surgery ASAP so I can get back to traveling 🙂 Thanks you all for your responses.

Thanks all. From my understanding After Knee replacement surgery it will take weeks-months of rehab for me to travel. My Doc told me a week ago that it will take 6 weeks to get on the surgery sch. Thanks you all for your helpful advice. We will call NCL tomorrow and see. My husband has said we will deal with it either way.75% credit sounds good to me at this point.

Hello all, We booked a Transatlantic Cruise-Oct 20-Nov. 4. It is now apparent that we will be unable to go due to I now need knee replacement surgery. I feel confident that my Doc. can write a letter to NCL saying that I cannot go. We have the Standard insurance for NCL.Question is: what are our chances of getting our money back or at least a credit? My osteoarthritis has quickly progressed to the point where I will not be able to handle the airports involved or just getting around the ship. We have looked into renting a scooter for the cruise if need be but the surgery takes 5-6 mos of rehab afterwards. We have the Bogo air through NCL as well. Thoughts on our chances of getting credit or our money back? sarlin

Mitsugirly, Awesome to "see" you again!! I've missed you! Sarlin

Thank you all for your ideas and thoughts. I am looking forward to this cruise. I pulled the trigger a little fast before I considered the reality of the sea days. I'm very excited and I think we will be just fine. Happy Sailing 🙂

Hi there, We just booked a Transatlantic cruise! This cruise was a Bucket List cruise for us. The cruise has 5 sea days. I have always loved the idea of a Transatlantic and multiple sea days. My question is has anyone done a Transatlantic and really enjoyed multiple sea days OR really did not care for sea days at all? Also, what are some stratigies and Tips for enjoying these days? What does NCL offer during those days? Classes or programs ? We will be on the Getaway, Oct. 22. This will be our 3rd time on her. Thanks

Hi, My husband and I are sailing in the Bliss in April. We now have the opportunity to upgrade to the Haven. However, we have already paid for a Vibe pass. Does anyone know if we would be able to get that money back and cancel the Vibe if our bid was accepted? Thanks Sarlin

So we think the Steak is better in LaBistro than Cagney's! I always get the onion soup and the Dover Sole. My husband is a steak snob and loves La Bistro for steak.

I was so surprised when we were on the Epic on our Mediterranean cruise how little time we spent in our cabin much less the spa! I would save your money and use it for a wonderful excursion.

We went on the Epic on MED cruise a few years back. It was a fantastic cruise. We were so busy everyday that all I needed was a comfortable bed at the end of the day. The itenerary is very port intensive This particular cruise is by far my favorite cruise ever. You will love it!

I am loving your review! Your Dad sounds like mine did-Fun Times! I wanted to let you know that I am a retired teacher with a Masters in Language and Literacy!. I love your book recs. I always download a few books to read during each cruise. The last Andy Weir book I read was project Hail Mary=I enjoyed it.

Good morning, My DH is immno-compromised. Needless to say we have bot cruised since Covid arrived. We have a cruise scheduled in early July in a Haven suite on the Breakway. My question is, has anyone NOT gotten Covid in the last 2 or 3 weeks while cruising or shortly after they got home from a trip? We are vaxxed and boosted and will mask up. We are OK with not even getting opff the ship. Or should we cancecl the cruise?-Like many of you we have booked and cancelled so many cruises over the last few years and really want to GO!!!!!! Sarlin
