Reducing OSC, gratuities or similar charges
complawyer replied to mmt44's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
mikeo. if they did away with the dsc and raised the fare prices, bet your a** people would them complain about the increase in fare quote the departed rick nelson " you cant please everyone, so you got to please yourself" -
my granny always said "dont look a gift horse in the mouth" if the VIP gives you something extra while on your cruise, that's great, if it doesnt, you're no worse off for the wear and tear

The Nicest and Least Expensive Stateroom on a Ship
complawyer replied to Sthrngary's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
fyi, ive been monitoring the sept 26th prima from iceland to southampton. it appears thecabin prices have gone down. i can now make my wife happy and book a haven penthouse. that being said however, if she doesnt see the northern lights, my life is forfeit -
nycruise4life. as always, thank you for the information. i do note, however, that the list you sent, does not include sapphire or diamond status, and doesnt really tell you what you get for the different point levels also on the form, it would not allow me to put in the state and one other thing. since im very happy and have very minimal complaints about ncl (ie. the falling apart hamburger buns) in the last 14 years and 25 cruises in my opinion, and my opinion only, msc doesnt come close to ncl in it's itineraries, or prices. so until i end up in a box, i guess i'll continue to sail ncl, and hopefully the 2 of you will someday be on the same cruise as my wife and i

cruise ny4life. you know 9x's out ot 10, i respect your opinion ,and your expertise as a travel agent. however, the o p wanted to know if ncl shared points with other cruise lines,(which everyone here agrees they do not) i dont think he really cared as to whether or not other lines did so. by the way, i tried checking into the website you quoted, and it wouldnt let me fill in some or the required info, which is too bad, as ive always wanted to see what the hullabaloo was about the yacht club

removing the donna show? THE HORROR !

nikita, having traveled extensively throughout europe with ncl, it should be a "big thing" for anyone traveling to exchange for the currency of the country to which they are traveling. i dont understand why the op is making such an issue over it. does he really believe a server in any U.S. restaurant, or any store in the U.S. will accept euros to pay for their purchase? i can just see a visitor from Greece, Italy, France etc, visiting New York and trying to pay for broadway show tickets with euros. ain't happening, nowhere, no how, no way

74 Latitudes Points - Will NCL bump status?
complawyer replied to Exuberant's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
distinctive. while i see the analogy, it's really not appropriate. by the way, i think most people that are serving such small amounts of time will usually get their sentences reduced for good behavior. by the way, ncl is very inflexible when it comes to their rules, haven guests, shared drinks, suite restaurants, kids club and latitude points. still, while getting a negative answer from just about everyone, it didnt hurt to ask -
74 Latitudes Points - Will NCL bump status?
complawyer replied to Exuberant's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
from personal experience, i believe there really is no rhyme or reason as to how ncl awards latitude points. last year we were on b2b cruise that started in southampton and ended 19 days later in stockholm. the breakdown was 10 days 1st segment, 9 days 2nd. we were sapphire at the time. when we got home, i checked and we had been awarded 95 points (or 5 per night) and instantly became diamond. so if that was my 1st cruise, at the end, i guess i would have automatically gotten to platinum status. by the way, we were in a 2 bedroom. i expected 38 points after cruise, but since we got 95, im certainly not going to complain. -
hey, memo.. y'all didnt miss much not stopping in key west. the good citizens totally dislike cruises passengers . why do you think they originally banned cruise ships we were there about 10 years ago, and while my wife and her sister went into starbucks, i waited outside and this guy selling those cheap a** thatched hats wanted to fight me for being on his "territory" . he really believed he owned that portion of sidewalk! unless things have changed, they insist that the cruise ship leave around 3-4 P.M. they want cruises gone so as to not interfere with views of the sunset. im 76 years old, and if i never get the chance to see key west again, that's perfectly fine with me, even if the opportunity was free
