Exactly what I was told, by the CN manager. Doesn't help with the packing when you don't know ahead of time. Have a 14 day coming up, worst case scenario, I end up paying $30 for a 2nd bag.
"paying $30 for a 2nd bag" is a choice you make. Life's full of choices - pack more or pay for laundry. Isn't that great?

I have been on many NCL cruises, but it has been almost 3 years (and I'm not quite as sharp as I used to be). Can someone remind me of the restaurant choices I can pick from? This will be on the Prima so some of the old places no longer apply. Thank you!
You can look at the NCL website and it will inform you of the new options under the revised policy.

Normally, I would call my agent, Staci and she would get it done for me. Sorry for not being clear.
No worries!

I always call NCL first because when I call my Travel Agent, it takes for ever to get my answers.
Sounds like you don't have an effective TA. My TA researches the question and provides the answers. That is how it is supposed to work.

yep- a classic CC member right there 🙂Just so we are clear, could you define a "classic CC member." And yes, @SeaShark, I used quotation marks.

These are the codes:
AIRPROM3
ALL4CHO
DISC35
EASYFARE
LATREW*
PPSRVCHG
SHX50There's an * next to what I assume to be Latitude Rewards, and this is what it says further down:
* LATREW promo code, is automatically applied to Latitude members’ reservations. This code gives Latitude members their specific tier level
discounts/benefits onboard.
This promo code does not provide any Latitude points.None of the other codes look like they have to do with Latitude rewards, but I don't know what some of them are.
There are no additional Latitudes points with those codes. Sorry. BTW, you can always confirm onboard what points you are earning for a cruise.

As long it fits through a standard airport scanner, you're o.k. That being said, your fellow passengers would greatly prefer that you check your luggage with the porters. The terminal, gangway, and ship is very crowded and busy on embarkation day.
Please speak for yourself @BirdTravels. Frankly, I'm just fine with any passenger bringing their own bag on board if they so choose. And if others don't like that I roll-aboard, that is their issue to deal with.

It's interesting because supposedly there is another all in package that includes laundry.
When we last cruised Windstar the package included laundry, but some months back they dropped the laundry portion from the package.

She saidnit at her last news conference and in print the next day.
Those are my same sources, BUT nowhere in the Gazette article does it say "by November 25th the Travel Authorization will be history." It does say the "TA Form to be phased out" but no specific date is stated and she was noncommittal on a date in the audio. The only two dates are:
"From October 25, the requirement for pre-arrival and pre-departure testing, arrival testing, and day-four testing for travellers will be dropped." and "The Government will be having further discussions regarding Bermuda’s travel entry requirements, taking into consideration what is appropriate and necessary in light of the ongoing pandemic. We will announce those decisions before 30 November.”
I think you are connecting dots that she declined to expressly connect. While I hope you are right, I'm less sanguine on how this might unfold.

It is my understanding that by November 25th the Travel Authorization will be history.
Where did you acquire that understanding? I've listened to the Health Ministers announcement and can't say I heard her say that.

I simply transferred my PCC-made booking to an outside TA (within 30 days of booking) and harvested some OBC in the process. The next time I called my PCC, he tried to decline service, but I called his bluff. As an NCL employee, he'd be fired if he declined to help a guest. But, he no longer bugs me with unnecessary calls & emails.

People need to display some patience! Bermuda just announced this today. It will take a day or two for NCL to update their website with the new rules. NCL isn't going to make vaccinated passengers take a test if the destination doesn't require one.
Agreed @njhorseman, but I just received a letter today from Ms. Katty Byrd, Sr. Vice President Guest Services, stating travel requirements for Bermuda that are inconsistent with what's posted at https://www.gov.bm/cruise-travel-authorisation. I've written to her regarding the inconsistency and when I hear back, I'll post her comments.

Call your NCL PCC or TA if you want to find a connecting cabin. They can see them, but we cannot on the deck plans in a mock booking.
That's it. Here's my $100 ... “I’m out!”

We missed our connection at LHR on our recent cruise when our first flight took off late. It cost us nearly 300 Euros for the night with taxis, food and hotel. We're still trying to collect from the airline, which under European law is responsible.

Is anyone having problems trying to print or download their edocs from a tablet. I can access them but get no response when I push the print button. Already called tech services with zero results just rudness, they insist it's a problem with my printer connection. I use hp smart to my wireless printer. Also had the same problem in May.
I agree with Tech Services.

TY for every ones response. I hope they mail them out because I am unable to print them at this time. The colored tag comes out on one sheet and the room number comes out on another sheet. Niether one has my name on it. I have never had this problem before.
Luggage tags, whether in the mail from NCL or self-printed, do not come with your name on them. You add that yourself.

So,,,, you know that they don't need to "collect names/cabin information". If you are a platinum or above, you are on a printed list by name and cabin at the Cruise Next desk (that's how they check your eligibility for various activities).
So,,,, I know that I have NEVER received TWICE DAILY calls from the Cruise Next desk UNTIL I attended this event and SPOKE DIRECTLY with the CN staff who WROTE my name down. Make whatever ASS-U-Me-putions you like - these are the facts!

Yep, totally first world problem @doctoranna. Buy a lanyard with a pouch. $10; probably will last ten cruises - buck a cruise! Personally I don't choose cruises or cruise lines based on how I might carry my room card. Now, back to my boat drink.

Following...I have a similar circumstance. One thing I'm doing is sailing on Windstar where both stateroom passengers don't have to take the drink package.

Thanks for that tip. After my TA called NCL and got them to fix my booking and add the missing shore excursion credit and the missing 150 free internet minutes, I did receive an email with the Amenity Confirmation. Thanks for letting me know I should print and bring that with me on the cruise.
Glad I could be of some help.

Departing Greece on Thursday, and have out test result sent to us by PDFs.
Does anyone know if that will suffice or whether we need to have them printed. I'd normally just print but that would be difficult from where we are in Athens.
We were not asked for any documentation upon arrival in Athens. That could be because we came into Europe via Brussels.

It's probably unnecessary given the distances between ports. What's your rush? Or do you just want to see what she can do? 🐀

We were recently in Thira/Santorini. First, there is more than one seaside dock where you might start your visit. Ours started at the pier quite a ways from the pier where the cable cars run. So without a confirmed means of transportation up to Oia or Fira, you would not have a pleasant start at the port. In our experience, most of the excursions do cut you loose in Oia to wander on your own, so if that is your interest, I think @Travelling2Someprobably has a good idea. Since we wanted to visit both Oia and Fira, and experience more of the Greek culture and food, a more inclusive excursion was right for us. Final note: pick pocketing is an industry in Greece - BE FOREWARNED!

Uncomfortable Beds on Epic?
in Norwegian Cruise Line
Posted · Edited by HuliHuli
Typo
I'm sure someone does have the same complaint. Just like folks complain about mattresses in hotels. Maybe the 400 people who cruised before you in that cabin wore it out. Maybe the kids in that cabin on the prior cruise were jumping on the bed. Are the mattresses on the Epic the same as on the Spirit - who knows. If you didn't like the mattress, maybe you should write FDR and ask that they add a 'mattress to your liking' perk in the Free At Sea Package. But it sounds like most found the mattresses just fine, as have I.
Those are my thoughts. You're welcome.
