  1. thx. i had the same question. will debark in reykjavik around 7am in late june my flight isnt till 5pm.
  2. face book group says it can only be used on cruises issued directly from cas, not land based certificates.
  3. 'Hilton Garden Inn London Heathrow Terminals 2 & 3' sold out for when i'm there (may 30). my NCL cruise is may31. i arrive at 7am may 30 in Lhr. So i should get a National Express bus, goto south hampton, and get a hotel near the pier? I wanted to sight see a little of London but your suggestion sounds better. Sightseeing London for a few hrs vs stress of getting to pier that's 2hrs away. I am assuming Horizon pier so from your link, hotels 1-3? And thx everyone for your great suggestions! edit: Novotel and Ibis sold out. Hotel #3 (Ibis budget) is available for $75 but only a 7/10 rating. i guess it's ok just for 1 night?
  4. Male, solo, 1 carry on and 1 backpack Flying into Heathrow in late May a day early for my NCL cruise out of South Hampton. My plan on embarkation day (9am): Leave hotel, walk to train station, travel to South Hampton Central station and walk to pier. (i know pier is 1 mile from train station.) Please recommend a hotel near the airport (preferable with free airport transfer) and is also located near a train station that's on the same line as South Hampton Central station. Thx
  5. i know if UPGRADING to unlimited, they will prorate me on day2 but day3+ is the same price as day2. I've done it on day2. it's been pre-covid since i booked a gty (no promo) cabin. back then i didnt care about internet. the 60 min free from Platinum+ was enough for me. Now, just a few years later, I spend at least 30/min day on ship internet checking email and WhatsApp msgs.
  6. 10day inside cabin got me 1day dining package and 150min internet. 12day ov got me 2 day dining package and 300min internet. i'm also going to assume a 2nd free laundry day? (Platinums and above) Always thought 13day cruises was the start of upgraded promos because the price of unlimited internet drops from $30/day to $25/day on 13+ day cruises
  7. Might be booking a gty (no promo) inside 12day cruise from England to Norway. (Right now $824 with 50% supplement. If 0%, drops to $550.) For upgrading to unlimited and trading in your promo minutes, it won't drop down in price past day 2. ie: the upgrade price for day 2 and day 5 is the same How about buying unlimited onboard if you dont have the 150 min promo internet? Is it still 1 price no matter if day 2 or day5?
  8. Casino hosts never mentioned it on my b2b Bliss cruise last month and i spoke to them a few times over those 2 weeks including the Executive host. but i only earned about 3k points each cruise. Maybe you have to earn 5k in a cruise to be able to buy it?
  9. do you know when casNext started?
  10. ahh.. so the casNext is in lieu of extra obc at end of cruise? yeah, i'll take that instead of buying stuff i may never use
  11. I was on a cruise last week of March, which carried over into April. April 1 is point reset. March31 11pm: Saw a Sapphire tier person playing VP hard at like $25/spin trying to make Ruby before April 1 reset. He was still at it at 2am but it was April already. That got me thinking... What timezone does the April 1 reset occur? Does it occur April 1 @ 12am Eastern Time where NCL HQ is? or April 1 GMT (Greenwich Mean time) time? ie: England or..? And no idea if he made it. Never saw him again.
  12. 5k points = $50 freeplay or obc. so That's a deal! Can only use casNext on cas cruises, right? But even '20% off cas discount' counts? Now makes more sense to carry points over to next cruise. ie: only earned 4k points. Normally that automatically gets converted to $40 obc if you dont convert it to freeplay. but tell casino host to carry it over to next cruise so you're basically saving up for a casNext when did this start?
  13. What are CASnext certificates? In all my years gambling on NCL, never heard of it. can they be used with cruise next? (ie: 250 + 250 off)?
  14. wow.. 11:50am flight moved to 7:45pm. but is that FBC fault? or the airline's? and yeah, never book FBC unless the flight had a discount. or you can't replicate FBC's routes with flights.google.com
  15. Might be this company that owns Skúlaskeið ? https://specialtours.is/tour/puffin-express/
  16. I'm going to be in Reykjavik in late June. My cruise (NCL) debarks in that city. I plan to stay a couple of days. Recommend a puffin tour. Thx edit: This one advertises they get extra close to Puffin island https://adventures.is/iceland/day-tours/puffin-tours/puffin-watching-tour-from-reykjavik/ Anyone try them? edit2: hm.. They seem to be a re-seller. Anyone know the actual tour company? Their boat is called Skúlaskeið
  17. do they pick you up from cruise port? if not, how did you go to them? and how long did it take? (want to estimate which tour time to book.)
  18. Celebrity in aug 2023. No idea if my cruise has post cruise tour to blue Lagoon then airport dropoff but they have a webpage for it: https://www.celebritycruises.com/pcp-excursions/reykjavik-iceland-tours/blue-lagoon-tour-with-airport-drop-off?excursionItemID=100000004274730870 It's $400/person! How do i do it myself with luggage? Thx
  19. thx. seems ncl uses Horizon terminal so walking it is unless it's raining. (male, 1 carry on, 1 backpack)
  20. Will be on Dawn 14day cruise in 2 weeks. Person who said he got $200 trade in for his 300 promo internet min was on the spirit. Lets see if the older ships give $200 trade-in or if it's just the Spirit.
  21. thx. How easy is it to get to the train station from the cruise terminal? and how far is it?
  22. Arriving to South Hampton on Ncl at beginning of May. Flying back to jfk but Haven't bought plane Tix yet. 1) Which is the better/easier airport to leave from? 2) best way from cruise terminal to airport? (65miles Heathrow, 90 miles Gatwick) Uber? How much would it cost to each?
