Instantly it's there but you need to go on the NCL website and go to the "print my booking" and it's there . 

Where is print my booking? I’ve been all over the website, I don’t see it in edocs or my vacation summary.

When you redeem for OBC, when/where does it show up on your reservation?

For anyone who has travelled to Honduras recently, is the covid testing requirement lifted for all travelers, including the unvaccinated?

 

I know that Honduras has been off the NCL list of countries that require vaccination/testing for a while now, but this is what it says about Honduras in Visa Central as of today: 

 

• There is no testing requirement for fully vaccinated travellers.
• All travellers are required to complete a health declaration form and upload a negative PCR test issued no more than 72 hours before arrival. The form and the COVID-19 test result can be uploaded here

 

I also see the testing requirement listed on various other websites, including the US Embassy website.  I called NCL today and was told that NO testing is required whether you are vaccinated or unvaccinated. 

 

Anyone out there with real life experience?

 

Thank you for anyone that can shed some light.

 

 

 

Also looking for this answer, did you get any insight?

Has anyone taken a catamaran tour as a shore excursion? In my research a lot of them sail in and out of Vichada which is the other side of the island from Fira. Wondering  how easy it is to get to and from so that we do not miss the last tender.

When they close the open decks, do they also close everyone's balcony off?

 

Anyone know for sure?

Our room balcony was not closed off at any time.

I was on this cruise (my first cruise ever no less) and watched a majority of the protests from the balcony (while taking full advantage of our beverage package). It was disgraceful and annoying. At one point, someone said to claim we were being held hostage which prompted me to contact relatives in case that untrue piece got out.

I think the important part to remember is that the ports were missed due to weather which made it VERY uncomfortable on the ship. As someone mentioned before, the pool was drained and off limits most of the trip as well as the outside walkways being closed, so little to no fresh air. Bottles were falling off the shelves in the bars. People were falling all over. The ship is also very small (I was told the smallest in the fleet, no idea if that is correct) which means people ran out of things to do very quickly. In my opinion, the activities that were presented on the extra sea days were redundant and just wanted more of your $$. 

NCL probably could have prevented some of this anger by allowing for internet use for a bit for no cost (to cancel non NCL excursions for example) or gifting a free "specialty" dining or something. When we went out to sea and cruised in circles after Geiranger just to come back the next day 7 miles away in Hellesylt I was disappointed in their lack of back up ports since, as mentioned previously, the port was closed and there was not much to do. Their big thing was a ferry that took you to... Geiranger.

We did not experience any food issues. We did experience plumbing issues and some customer service issues. 

Overall the trip was not bad, it was very beautiful and we made the best of it. I didn't see anyone else mention it but we were refunded $60 per person for missed ports on top of the already mentioned 25% credit for future cruise.

New cruiser... is this deal something that we need to purchase/add ahead of departure or is it offered once we are on the ship?

Hello,

We are taking our first cruise ever (NCL Spirit) from September 27-October 11. Three of our stops are Bergen, Flam and Geiranger, Norway. We are trying to avoid ship excursions as much as possible but I am having a hard time finding something to do in these ports (besides the basic self guided tour, my understanding is that these towns are relatively small). I know in Bergen to do the Funicular, in Flam to do the Flamsbana Rail, possibly also the Norway in a Nutshell and I'm not sure about Geiranger. 

Does anyone have experience doing these ports in the fall? One of things we really wanted to do in Norway is kayaking but it seems all the tour companies stop the day before we get there (literally, the day before.. ugh) The cruise is offering one so there has to be someone offering kayaking right?

Appreciate the help!
