Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I had the same issue this morning on my son's reservation, only his said $868. They fixed it within 10 minutes of me contacting them. I was mostly worried about it being cancelled and them losing their room.
  2. Royal already does this, they have an "unlimited" dining package that you can purchase. Came in a little under $500 for 2 people on our cruises last year. Worked in all of their specialty restaurants for dinners and places that were open for lunch.We were usually "treated" to an extra entree for the table to share, though I expect that had something to do with how they were counting the credits and gratuities. We felt it was well worth the extra money-on 2 RCL cruises, aside from breakfast, we never set foot in the MDR and had fantastic experiences. If NCL offered this, depending on the price point we would certainly try it.
  3. I agree with this. Some folks can't eat seafood due to allergies, so they just don't get an appetizer? I'm not a seafood fan at all, so I'll be asking about it for sure. I'd like to hear some first hand reporting from cruisers coming back since this change was made before jumping to conclusions. And experiences may differ ship to ship.
  4. Was this a special offer or to be included on all packages? I'm not seeing anything like that on our confirmation. My summary also does not look like that above.
  5. So we can use photos that are saved to our phone or computer? I'll be checking in for 2 cabins and we all won't be together for taking pictures when the time comes to do so.
  6. Probably will depend on the sailing and length of the cruise. We are on Encore, 7 nights, 2/12/23-we pre- booked at $299 per person for the week.
  7. Give it some time and this will change. We will be on Encore 2/12-cruisemapper showed 3 ships at GSC for a while, it's now back to just Encore for the day we are supposed to be there. Fingers crossed it doesn't change and we can stop. OP-I'm sorry that you are dealing with changes. We are on the week before you and feel the same. No Broadway show-really stinks! May not make GSC, that's a built in gamble for every cruise that has a stop scheduled there, rough waters and they don't go. Now I'm reading in various places that Puerto Plata, DR could also be a no go, depending on if there are 2 Carnival ships docked at Amber Cove the day we are scheduled for there. Let's rub some more salt in the wound-I'm reading no refund of port fees. Oh and today found out service is being cut down to one time a day room cleaning-that doesn't bother me so much, but for some I can see why it would make a difference with more than 2 people in a room. All of that being said-by golly we are going to have a good time. It's paid for already and we are very excited to be blessed to have this vacation. And next time we go....it will not be NCL!
  8. I did not realize that other ships were docking there. I thought there was an issue with the dock/port that needed work due to a ship (Escape?) getting stuck. That is even worse in my opinion. What the heck? If NCL can't stop there and they know that, it should be removed from their schedule and replaced with a new port. First no Broadway show on our sailing, now we may miss this port, and of course GSC is always iffy on stopping.....ah well.....at least it won't be below zero with snow!
  9. We are on the Feb 12 Encore sailing. So far no emails reporting any changes. Our scheduled day, at this point is 2/17. Cruisemapper shows this, Amber Cove site shows no ships on this date. Another site shows us there on Feb 14🤨. This is the port that we don't want to miss, we have an excursion booked that we really don't want to miss. Is there any way to find out if the needed work to Taino Bay is in progress? I know shot in the dark lol.
  10. We are on Encore in February, Kinky Boots will not be playing. It's disappointing. We booked thinking we'd have a big Broadway style show, and now it looks like we will get a theater that will be dark most of the week. This is our 3rd and likely last NCL cruise. To not have some sort of a replacement entertainment shows me that they have my money and don't care. We were on 2 RCL cruises this year, never had to look for entertainment-matter of fact it was hard to fit it all in.
  11. $326? for 1 person for 7 days? WOW-we are booked next Feb on the Encore and was looking forward to getting a suite pass, but that's a lot more than we were expecting. I thought I was over estimating at $250!
  12. Great report so far! We will be boarding Allure on 5/14, so following along. Right now just nervous about getting passing the covid test. Looking forward to more pics and your report!
  13. Thanks for the review, we have 11 days until we are on the Allure. Also interested to hear about the pub musician, on our late January Symphony cruise we found ourselves at the pub every night. Even with repeat song we had a great time.
  14. Congrats! Just curious-were the suites showing as sold out previously? We are on the May 14th sailing, I have bids in, but suites are showing as sold out and have been for a while. I think we are going to be on a very full ship!
