Sorry but most of your delay is NOT CAUSED by NCL, but the United States Coast-- full inspection and crew drill.  Done when ships return to the US from the European Season (or on the West Coast-- Far East/ Asian Seasons).

Not sure about any drill but we were told it was a NCL Breakaway WiFi issue. If the coast guard schedules these drills for all returning vessels as you mentioned then NCL should work this unto the embarkation schedule and not have guests waiting while this takes place.

Atlanta, I hope you are onboard now. There were announcements in the terminal after they closed the check-in about having Wi-Fi issues. 

 

All public areas, are slammed. But they just announced cabins are readyish. 

Onboard now and enjoying the ship. 1 1/2 hrs checkin and security but luckily we got inside the terminal before the snowflakes flew. 😀. 

NCL disaster once again for boarding. We are OUTSIDE in Freezing weather in a line of 2000 people. Waiting for NCL to repair Cruise Ship WiFi so we can check in 😩. Not the way we wanted to start our journey.

I rec’d this email and coupon too on my Latitude account. We just hit Platinum so I thought it was some sort of a reward.  
 

has anyone redeemed these “exclusive” coupons before, and have they really saved the % the coupon shows, or is it just a bait and switch since the current discounts already have 50% off. Just curious if it’s worth it to get the travel agent to track it down, since the coupons will need to be applied at the very end of the booking.  Any help is appreciated. 

This coupon is legit, and it offers a GREAT saving. I saved about $1,300 on a balcony cabin on the Jewel. And also got to apply a CruiseFirst 500 certificate (so saved 250 there), and because my TA is offering free prepaid gratuities this week (saving 280), we are out the door smiling 😀😀😀. Good luck to all the other cruise bargain shoppers out there.

And I will add to this that if a couple uses each of their dining credits you will get 8 items split between 2 people, and that is a TON of food.  We are fairly big eaters, but could never eat that much.  They don't always offer this to you up front, but you can just use one credit for 4 items and split that between 2 people.  That way you can save your other credit for another meal.  If you're still hungry after the 4 items you can always pay out of pocket for something else or run to the buffet.  

 

Food Republic is one of favorite restaurants on NCL.  We love it.

Exactly what we did on the Bliss. The Food Republic food was delicious and the servings were large, so my wife and I used just one dining pass and had more than enough for us.  Bear in mind that at home we always take home leftovers from restaurants since two full meals are enough for use to eat a second meal at home. But we can’t do this on a cruise   We saved the other pass for another night. If you use two dining passes at some of Reg ala  cart restaurants, the value may not be that good since the per plate prices are not too high.
