Thanks. I would REALLY like to see this return. "buns out?" 🤣

That would be great. Especially if they replaced POA with an up to date ship. I'm sure this has occurred to NCL, and hoping that we see them moving in this direction. I would think that one of the jewel class ships could fit quite well.

Well, it can't hurt to book. Loaning NCL $250 for a year or two won't break the bank for most folks.

Thanks. What would that add? Two or three sea days? I'm in! 😎 I love sea days and wouldn't mind losing the nights in port. I like HI, I just don't LOVE HI.

This. Did NCL used to have an itinerary that included that foreign port?

You can drink for free in all of them! 😎

Thanks. This is exactly what I wanted to confirm. I'm currently buying cheap insurance (i.e. catastrophic medical/evac and medical cancellation without preexisting waiver). I just wanted to confirm that I could exclude port fees/taxes from the non-refundable trip cost. Doing so brings the insurance cost down to about 4% of the final payment amount. 😎

My 10% off "coupons" have always just said "10% off" on the website.

Fair enough, but I would be mostly concerned about the bag making it onto the right ship. Everything after that is "details."

I think most of us "planners" did! 🤣

If it's a port with multiple ships doesn't the color correspond with the ship? That could be important.

Well, I think they know what happened but they may not know the rest (yet).

Our plan for this year included an October POA cruise, but we cancelled it just prior to final payment due to the multiple reports of the mess that POA is currently in. I realize that some are past final payment, but for anybody who hasn't yet booked you may wish to consider an alternative. My next POA is booked for 2024. Hopefully they'll have it fixed by then.

There are two types of people in this world. Those who read the instructions and those who don't. I think it's about 20/80.

Is that the repositioning that ends in Miami? I think October is still considered hurricane season.

Fortunately, 135% x free = free. 😎 Does anybody pay ala carte? I think it is mostly marketing, to convince people that the $30 dinner I'm eating is really worth $100. It's really not even a $30 dinner since I'm skipping a nice meal in the MDR or buffet. That said, I'm not a sophisticated diner. I don't care how the food is "presented" or how fancy the venue is. I just want it to taste good. Fortunately/unfortunately, at times my food in the buffet or the Local has tasted much better than what I ate in the specialty restaurant yesterday. I'll use whatever "free" ones they toss me, but that is more than enough. We got four specialties (two lattitudes, two promo) on our last cruise (7 days) and we really didn't want any more. We wound up using several specialties at the food republic splitting four entrees among three of us for lunch. It was plenty.

Thanks. I didn't notice that you were from Canada.

What did they scan other than the eDocs?

These are aft balcony rooms. Does anybody have photos of the balconies? I've googled and haven't had much luck. Thanks.

For all past NCL cruises, I never received an email, but it always showed up on the NCL website. For my next cruise, I received an email but it hasn't shown up on the website. Who knows how this stuff works?

Thanks!! What a huge difference. We're looking at 15270 and/or 15272. Do you have any specifics on those?

One of those sounds a lot more fun than the other..... Just sayin. 🐀

Thanks. Are the (B1?) aft balconies typically deeper than a normal BA balcony? Is it a meaningful difference?

My point is that they really can't quarantine an entire ship.

I think most people are exposed to positive Covid cases these days.
