Where did you hear this? My cruise is August, 2019.....the ship may not be in great shape by then. Hmmm, rethinking this......

I can't work out how to send you a DM

Following. Hoping for more updates on what is done.

She received significant upgrades. New cabins, gift shops, lounge, and carpeting

Wanted to move this thread up to see if anyone is aware of when the Spirit will be refurbished to Norwegian Edge or is that not happening?

 

The reviews of Spirit are all over the place. I haven't sailed NCL since 2011 and the Spirit has an amazing Baltic itinerary in summer, 2019.

 

Do you think the Spirit will remain dated? I know Spirit was partially redone in 2017 but not to Norwegian Edge standards.

 

Does anyone have any info? Thanks!

January 2020

Yesterday I could still book every type of cabin on our sailing. Today all show as unavailable on the website we booked through and on NCL.com the sailing isn't even an option. There were tons of cabins yesterday. Balconies alone on one deck, there were 10. Anyone know why they would be "unavailable" 5 days before?

Seeing something similar to this but on a different sailing.

We're not due to sail for a couple of weeks, but 2 days ago there were many suite options available. Inside, Oceanview, Balcony etc. Even took a screen shot to send to a friend so have double checked. Yesterday there was only 'just cruise inside' available, today the sailing isn't an option.

We have bids still pending on upgrade options, but at the lower end so never held out much hope anyway.

Another question.

We have friends travelling at the same time - different deck. Not a problem, but I seem to remember reading somewhere that calls between suites are charged ($9.99 sticks in my mind). Is this correct?

He is either enjoying a long weekend or he is a sad and lonely soul.:kiss-mark:

He was on a long (UK Bank Holiday) weekend. Thanks. Sometimes sad but never lonely.

Strange that the OP has never come back with any questions or responses.

I'm back, and would like to thank everybody for their valued input.

Bird Travels: OP could be a TROLL trying to get a heated debate going on the nickle and diming topic.

not a troll, haven't read the nickel & Diming thread so can't comment.

Don't go to the onboard medical center. Pack a medicine/first aid kit.

I will pack a first aid kit. Thanks.

Thanks again to everybody who has offered me some constructive advice.

We do have UBP (we like a drink)

We have paid DSC (gratuities)

I've done my research and don't think we'll need any NCL excursions

We will eat at the speciality restaurants. Just not every night. (might look at Speciality Dining Package once on board)

I won't buy photos

I will use the casino occasionally - cash only.

:D

Good evening all

First day as a member

First ever cruise in a couple of weeks

First post

First questions

I've read a lot of reports (on various websites) about the on-board efforts by NCL staff to lighten your wallet during your cruise.

I just wanted to know what it is that costs, any traps to avoid and how best to prevent a hefty bill at the end of the cruise.

Thanks in advance
