We leave on our cruise Sunday April 7th, anybody been on the Getaway recently? Wondering if the main dining rooms (Tropicana, Taste, Savor) have two lines one for reservations and one without. Thanks!

Anybody know if it is open on embarkation day, wonder if it might be less busy on the first day before people find out it is included.

Did NCL disappear for everybody? Hopefully they are just reloading

Not that it matters, I already have reservation at 5:30. It really doesn't matter to me, we will see what happens when we get on the ship. I go with the flow.

NCL website is still letting me, maybe I am special 🙂

I wonder if some cruises still allow reservations? On January 22nd, I was able to make reservations for 4 at 5:30 for a 12 day cruise coming up in April. I also see, people saying they don't have two lines, we were on the Epic in January and they had two line one for reservations only. I'm so confused

Total guess, I have no inside information, I was trying to figure out the same thing. I was looking at March cruise. If I remember correctly: In October they went to the end of May (7 months). In January they updated it to the end of August(7 months) If they keep the same pattern: In April they should go to the end of November? In July they should go to the end of Feb? ...

We were just on the EPIC a couple of weeks ago, I don't remember seeing any ramps to the bar area. Looking at the deck plan it looks like they have an ADA lift.

I am guessing no but haven't tried. It says new bookings, but it never hurts to call and ask.

I don't see the discount code, the only place I see it is under Guest Fare under Guest 1, it is 750 less than guest 2.

We have an oceanview room, is this balcony only? First time in an oceanview room, we normally get a balcony. If not I might have to upgrade.

I also added the package, looks like a great deal. I saw this in the fine print, I hope they don't mean new cruise bookings only: 'Offer applies to bookings made March 10, 2023 – March 15, 2023 and applies to select sailings departing March 14, 2023 – December 31, 2023.'

We had a similar issue, we received the flight info early, I think it was around 65 days before the cruise. However they had us flying out of Chicago instead of Harrisburg PA. Simple mistake, no big deal, called them and they said they would fix it in 14 days. Long story short it wasn't fixed in 14 days, it took over 6 weeks and was finally fixed today, we fly on the 24th of March. We kept getting the run around and said it might not be fixed until 3 days before we leave. We called NCL and TA called, I tried again today, called the custom air phone number. I raised a big issue, threatened to file a complaint, etc and two hours later it was fixed. They didn't pick the best flights but at least we have flights.

Number 2 - I would answer maybe, depending on how much I think I would save. First time using NCL air: We flew in the day of the cruise, we were delayed but we made it on the ship. We knew the risk, they booked us on the correct flights and everything worked as expected. We had some delays but we made it, we were flying from Pennsylvania to Miami so flights are pretty straight forward. I am currently using them a 2nd time, I am not sure I would use them again after this experience. We received the flight info early, I think it was around 65 days before the cruise. However they had us flying out of Chicago instead of Harrisburg PA. Simple mistake, no big deal, called them and they said they would fix it in 14 days. Long story short it wasn't fixed in 14 days, it took over 6 weeks and was finally fixed 17 days before we leave. We kept getting the run around and said it might not be fixed until 3 days before we leave. I finally raised it as a big issue, threatened to file a complaint, etc and two hours later it was fixed. Also they didn't pick the best flights but at least we have flights. If everything goes smooth then it is worth the savings, but if something goes wrong they are not the easiest to work with. Not sure the hassle is worth the savings, so depends on how much we save and how complicated the flights are.

They offered other dates but they didn't work for us. I live in the northeast and we were leaving out of NYC, so no airfare was needed. This limited our options. We have another cruise already booked in March.
