I'm hoping people are still reading these because I could use some help.  I'm trying to redeem my points for OBC.  Each time I click on rewards and then the image with the palm tree that says "Redeem Now", it requires me to login again and doesn't take me to the page to redeem for OBC.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

For dinner you can book tables up to 8 or 10, for shows you're booking just for your room.

Ok great, thank you!

No way of telling when the show will be shown. Entertainment reservations open 21 days prior to departure. Dinner reservations open 120 days prior to departure. It is highly recommended that you book as soon as dining reservations open,,, prime time dining at popular restaurants will sell out quickly once reservations open. 
 

Right now, they show plays on two nights at 7:00 and 9:30 each night. If you eat early, you can always make the late show. 

Thanks Bird. Also, there will be 6 of us (3 couples). Can I make a reservation for all 3 rooms for let’s say 6pm or do they need to make their own reservations? 

We’d like to make a reservation to see the Choir of Man on the Escape on our New England and Canada cruise.  We’d also like to make a couple of specialty restaurant reservations. Does anyone know what 2 nights the show might be so it doesn’t interfere with our restaurant reservation choices?  Thanks 😊

 I should never make assumptions. They always seem to backfire! Oh well, live and, hopefully, learn. But still, have a great cruise!

Thank you!

   Don't forget to make final payment at 120 days! I see you're from RI and doing a Canada/NE, so assume you are on the Pearl out of Beantown. The main show, Legends in Concert, was done  the last night ( 2 shows) with no tickets or reservations required.There were/are no big production shows onboard.

  If you are doing any specialty restaurants, you can also book them at the 120 day mark. You'll get the best times online by booking early, like at 12:01 AM on the 120th day.

  This info was valid on our November 2022 cruise to Bermuda from Boston. If anything has changed, I'm more than certain that one of our resident fact checkers will be more than happy to chime in!

     Happy cruising!!

Actually we're leaving out of Manhattan.  It was 1/2 the cost of the Pearl out of Boston.  Getting ready to make my final payment.

Thanks Texas, we are in a balcony. So I guess the only dates are 120 days prior to make restaurant reservations and 21 days to check in. How about shows, make reservations on the ship only?

We’re about 10 days out from the 120 day mark for our cruise to New England and Canada in September.  Does anyone have a checklist they use when it comes to reservations, check-in, etc?  I want to make sure we don’t forget to do anything.  Thanks.

It’s been many years since I’ve been to Montreal but I really enjoyed Old Montreal. Norte Dame Basilica was just beautiful.  I’m dating myself but I will never forget seeing Pink Floyd in concert in the 70’s. 

We love Martha’s Vineyard!  We were out there this past summer. Edgartown is our favorite, lots of great little shops and plenty of places to take beautiful photos. Don’t miss Mad Martha’s, a must stop for delicious ice cream.  MVY is also a great place to rent bikes and peddle around on numerous bike paths.  We rented kayaks just outside of Edgartown on the “pond” across from the Jaws beach.  You will wish you had more time to spend on this magical island!

Has anyone done the St. Martins & The Bay Of Fundy excursion in St. John?  If so, what did you think?  Thanks.

Thanks for the information, that’s very helpful!

Hi - My brother-in-law will be dropping us off at the pier for the NCL Escape in September and then picking us up the following Sunday.  Can anyone tell me how that works so I can tell him.  I'm more concerned as to where we can meet him when we get off the ship.  Thanks.

Boston was the Pearl with a slightly different itinerary in Canada than the Escape out of NY.  The Maine ports were the same.

Late last year we booked a cruise to New England and Canada out of Manhattan. We wanted to book out of Boston because the port is a closer drive for us but it would have been twice as much.  Just curious if anyone knows why?

What port is the Joy leaving from?  We’re on the Escape out of NYC 9/3, and so far we’re still scheduled to go to Portland and BH.  Hopefully that won’t change. 

I think many people use the stairs (us included) so it may help on cutting down the number of people using the elevators. However, we’ve only been on the smaller ships. We’ll be on the Escape in September so we may not want to climb all those stairs 😊. 

I can’t remember if there are drawers although I believe there is.  Plenty of space available under the bed for luggage.

We’re cruising on the Escape in September out of Manhattan. Do we need a parking reservation?  Thanks.

It looks like $2870.00 for the cabin.  All of the other charges are fees that are relatively fixed.

Grand Cayman was one of our favorite stops on the Western Caribbean. We enjoyed 7 mile beach and then going through a few of the shops in town before returning to the ship.  

It was answered before your comment so I’m all set.

Why does final payment have anything to do with this?

I don’t know, that’s why I asked.  No need to be confrontational. 

If you prepay service charges before final payment and need to cancel, are they refundable?

I would love to book the Haven but it’s a little pricy for me.  We hope to rent a place for a couple of weeks prior to the cruise so a balcony is in our budget.
