You don’t have to log on to get pricing. Any time you leave an unfinished reservation, you will be contacted to ensure that you know that you forgot to hit the “buy” button. 

Got it. Don't think I was able to enter other room members on the final page without logging in. Just wanted to see the Passengers 3&4 free promo

Do other cruise lines do this? I've never had this from DCL, Holland or Princess. Has anyone ever called back and gotten a better promotion than was offered online? 

Hello,

Made an account on NCL this week and the last few nights I've been pricing out a cruise I was planning next year. Got all the way to the end to figure out the pricing but never asked for a courtesy hold or anything. Anyways, I got a very quick call missed call today that rang once and then an email followed shortly after from tech@email.ncl.com asking me to call to discuss new promotions. Is this normal for them to reach out like this? 

Race track was $7 per person when I was on the ship.

The go carts cost was 7.00 just went up to 9.95 the cost of the laser tag is 5.00

Thanks!

Some menus posted. More this week.

I'll be sure to follow along. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I've never sailed Norwegian before but we're looking into an Alaska sailing on the Bliss sometime in the future. Was just curious with the Go Karts/Laser Tag/Mini Golf, is there an additional charge for these activities?

Also, trying to figure out which specialty restaurants to eat at, is there a menu for each restaurant available somewhere on NCL's site? I can't seem to find one.

Thanks!

So I checked with someone who works the Disney checkin. There is no enforcement of the appointment times, and checkin process normally runs similar to the other ship days. So as you're travelling on a multi-ship day, my recommendation would be to come early (10 to 10:30 am), that way you are towards the front of the line to get through any immigration backlog. You may have to wait for the ship to clear before boarding, but there is a seating area for those waiting. However, you may have to listen to a loop of "It's a Small World" (and/or other Disney favourites) over the PA, so you have been warned ;p!

Good to hear. Figure it's best to get there early to minimize any delays getting on the ship! I'm sure we'll find stuff to do during the down time while waiting. Thanks for asking ;p

I'll try and talk to someone who works the Disney checkin and see if they have any suggestions for "best time" for that particular ship and routine. Might be a week or 2 before I can get back to you, so bear with me...!

That would be too awesome! Don't go out of your way though. And I'm in no rush, still over 2 months away.

Thank you :)

When in August? The 2nd is 3 medium/large ships in, so would anticipate delays through immigration. At the end of the month, one of the 3 ships is a smaller one (Seven Seas), so just a few hundred guests, which should make things a lot smoother. [i see "The World" is in at the end of the month - which should not affect the process for the "regular" ships, and is always an interesting one to go down to Canada Place and look at (and dream!)]

 

I've never seen anyone turned away because "their appointment" is later, not sure if it's even checked (but my knowledge is mostly of RCCL and Celebrity). If you're travelling on August 2nd, yes, definitely come earlier, you might still have to wait to board the ship (you will be located in a seating area while you wait), but you can hopefully avoid the waits caused by immigration backups. How long? Difficult to predict - if you come before 11am you should sail through checkin and immigration, but might have to wait to board. If you arrive later (11 am to 2 pm), there will likely be lines for checkin, then lines for security, then lines for immigration, but then no wait to board. After 2pm, sail through checkin, but may get caught in any immigration backups, before getting on board (and will have missed lunch on board).

 

On the positive side, it is later in the season and all the kinks should be ironed out by then, and all the new staff should know what they are doing!

 

Hope that helps a little....?

Yes very helpful! I'm going to be on the August 2nd Disney sailing. Would rather take my chances going earlier and waiting to board as opposed to waiting in line after line. Will plan to be there for 10

I've got my first cruise in August and I see there's going to be 3 ships in that day. I've got a Port Arrival Time of 12:00 if I show up early at say 10:45-11 will they make me wait before being able to drop off luggage and head up to check in?

How long should I expect the whole process to take from when I arrive at the Port to being able to get on my ship assuming there's no delays with the ships getting into port. With 3 ships in I'm thinking the waits could be upwards of an hour and a half?
