Platinum and up get these bennies One dinner for 2 with a bottle of wine and one dinner for 2 without. Every cruise 5 days or more. -
I hate this part of check in and yes they will take your photo at the pier also. I usually check in on my desktop for the other parts and use my cell phone to do the stupid and really frustrating photo thingy. Sometimes the system will decide it does 'like' that photo after all even though it was rejected 3X.

Do I need to purchase an international phone plan…
sailingships replied to gailellen12's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
AT&T has unlimited calling texting and internet for $10 a day all day on land for the first 10 days then free for the rest of the month. One month for $100. It works also if the ship is in a port and youre on the ship. Easy to set up in every port. Works great in Europe etc Cheaper than at home for a month. Also put you home phone and desk top computer on suspension while you are gone. $7 a month for each. We do this every time we go to Europe and cruise. If you turn your phone on at 10am it will be one day at 10am the next day so that way you can get 2 days for the price of one. (only do this if you are going to be in ports 2 days in a row.) -
We did the TA on the Gem last December. Plus other cruises. We plan to do the TA in December this year. We love this ship. Yes its smaller and older but its not as crowded as the bigger ships and most of the NCL experiences are there also. Ive been on larger ships where the public areas were clogged all day and the lines for the MDRs, shorex, guest services and entertainment tickets were long continually. Most shore excursions were sold out and entertainment times were full.

Did the cost of the dining package go up?
sailingships replied to dbrown84's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
The new price will be for new bookings. If you are already booked the price it was then still applies. However, if the price of the cruise itself goes down and you wish to take advantage of the new lower price, you will pay the difference for the other new fees also, dining, any port fees/tax increases etc. Per phone call to NCL -

Studios; is the lounge open 24/7?
sailingships replied to caliSue1234's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
On the Epic last month it was open 24/7 for the Studio guests using our key cards. Its right across from the keyed door to the cabins. At 5-7pm there was someone at the bar to sell beer wine and some mixed drinks. There was a very large TV on the wall and plenty of comfortable seating. The studio was on Deck 11 and the Deck 12 passengers just came down a stairwell into the room from their corridor where they had access to that outside door. All the studio cabins are in a corridor down the middle of the ship forward Nobody can access the corridor itself without a key card. Very private. -

sailingships replied to drpclarke's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
If you like free laundry, there are cruise lines that give the elites unlimited laundry. Platinum level status and above. That means as many bags or parts of bags as you want to send them. -

We were suppose to cruise out of Venice in Oct 2020 after spending 5 days there in an apartment. Our cruise was cancelled of course and then the locals voted to stop the cruise ships from coming up the Grand Canal.. I visited Venice sans a cruise because I dont relish the idea of having to travel all the way to and fro Trieste. Im glad I went this time.

I was on the Epic TA last month. I traveled around Italy and flew home from Venice on May 22. That day there were Gem passengers at the Venice airport who said much the same thing. They came in a day early or late and had to travel to the airport from Trieste..

I always have a problem with the photo, so I do everything but that part on my desktop and then use my phone. I usually have a battle with the photo though. They take another one at the terminal so I dont know why they require us to add a photo.
