Happy Friday All,

I should consider myself blessed/lucky.  It is unfortunate to hear everyone's wait time and I wish everyone the best.  We have also received a full refund (confirmed our amount) for our cruise and the amenities we purchased (soda package, massage, 3 nights dinner package for 4, cupcake decorating class, Voom for 2, etc..).

Our Cruise was originally scheduled for April 12 and we canceled on April 1.  Received the refund on one card on April 10 and the other on April 14.  Then we received an email from RCCL also confirming the refund and cancellation.

Good luck to all.

I have been researching them also for our upcoming cruise. I will be reaching out to them for a private tour.

has anyone taken a private tour with them?

Bumping this up. Hoping someone can assist 

Hello All,

Hoping the recent NCL Star cruisers (and others) can assist.

Do they sell unlimited digital photo packages on the ship?  If they do, does someone know the price?

Do you know which night(s) and what time(s) the canvas paintings are held?

Thank you all

I just received the following email below. We had originally planned to do the coast line for the views but with the tour company’s statement of traffic I wanted your help. 

How bad bad is the traffic in the last week of August and which tour would you recommend?

When you get on the website to bid you will see a slider bar with minimum and maximum prices and you move the slider up and down until you find the price you want so no you can't go below minimum bid offered because you cannot just type in any price, sorry.  Enjoy your vacation 

Thank you. This helps. 

Hello All,

I received the upgrade offer email. I am very happy with the mini suite booked especially with the location but I am intrigued with the suite offers on the Star. 

Do I have to bid the minimum they listed?  I wouldn't be upset the slightest if I didn't win but wanted to bid anyway. 

For example the SG Penthouse is listed from $400 PP. Do I have to bid at least $400 or can I bid lower?  I understand that the probability of upgrade will be lower. Just curious if the system won't accept it at all. I didn't try it yet. 

Thank you

Yankee - the tender information is on the daily day 2 and 4 a few posts after you posted the question in case you didn’t see it.  It looks like they do tender and ticket distribution a couple hours before reaching the port.  One day was at 5 o’clock somewhere bar and another was at bliss.  Passengers with Latitudes Status, with ship excursions, or in suites did not need tenders tickets.  They had very large tenders - looked like they could fit 100-200 people in each.  There were only about 2500 guests on board, so the process seemed really quick.

Thank you so much. This is awesome. I greatly appreciate the information. You have been a depth of information. 

Thank you for the updates

if possible, would you be able to share with us the process to get tender tickets for non suite passengers - when and where do they start distributing tickets? How early should we get in line? ...

thank you

Out of curiosity- does NCL tell you the minimum bid?  Safe to assume you keep your perks, such as dining package or any other free package if you bid and win?

thank you

Thank you for the posts.  We are also on this cruise in August and would love to hear everyone's opinions.

We have booked excursions in all ports except Mykonos where we will walk around town and go to the beaches.

Thank you for the information 

makes sense. 

Hello,

Just curious, for all the ships that are being upgraded with the AMPED feature, will they have the wristband option (for those ships that already don’t have it) after the upgrade?

Thank You

😁 getting excited. We are scheduled for April 202

Where can I find what changes will be made on FOTS during this dry dock?

Thank you. My wife and daughter enjoy this activity and will be thrilled. 

Thank you 

Is there a Starbucks on Freedom of the Seas?

Thank you 

We have done this locally as a family event and it was a lot of fun. Same reason people go bowlin or rock climbing on the ship, this just might be fun also.

Actually that’s a great question. We are sailing on the Star out of Venice. It will be interesting to fly back to the US with multiple of the canvases LOL. 

Can we precook this online or do we have to book once we board?

Does anyone know if this is offered on NCL Star also?

thank you

That’s awesome. Thank you

Hello All,

Does anyone have a site that can give us walking directions in Mykonos at least to the windmills, little Venice and the rest of the town from the port? We can skip the beaches

Thank you
