Well, they just don't make themselves so somebody who made them provided a service.

 

Heck, we have a DVD from years ago and DD would brush up and make some for room steward.  Steward never tipped her for her....service in making it?

You gave your room Steward's DVD's?  Of what?

NCL is now using either really good coated paper straws that hold up to the beverage. or they are back to using plastic straws. probably the former.

They've had straws on all of my recent NCL cruises.  I have no idea what they are made from, as nobody drinks Whiskey or Beer with a straw.

widely attributed to both churchill and john wayne, but it was actually w.c. fields who said it first.

Well, whoever said it was certainly on to something.  And, like the other poster, I agree 100%.

So, we have a great world leader, a great comedian and a great actor all agreeing on this.  Must be valid!

I wonder what Groucho's position would be?

"My Doctor told me I had to give up wine, women and song."

"So, what are you going to do?"

"I'm going to find a different doctor."🤣🐀

My father gave me some sage advice when I was growing up - never trust anyone who doesn’t drink. Amen.

I believe that was attributed to Winston Churchill.

This does remind me of the husband or boyfriend of a lady who wanted to bring her guitar on board so she could entertain people on the Atrium Stage.  She didn't want to do it in the Karaoke lounge.  It had to be on the Atrium Stage.  I hope we dissuaded him and his SO, but from what he said, she would not go on the cruise unless she was allowed to perform in the Atrium.  

I can only find this one.  Was there another?

Now that is confusing

Why explain it in a simple manner when you can make it sound more complex?😄

And, as my wife likes to point out, some people aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

There is a lot of truth in this, and I just can't understand such people.

My confusion is with how the OBC is distributed to.  If it doesn’t count against the CN, then I have to use it on trips. I would rather pre buy trips if it’s used against the $500

If you're still confused, it's not because of this thread.  At least three different people have given the exact same answer.  I doubt we can make it any more clear.

I truly think it’s a matter of time as the cruise lines gobble up private island in the Caribbean  they start going the Disney route and offering time shares on those islands!

 

Thinking of changing my user name to “THE ELITEST”!

Don't do it brother.  🐀's are not elite.  They're just 🐀's.

You need to think big.

Multi-level marketing for time shares.  

 

Do NOT give anybody ideas.  I'm quite surprised that the cruise lines haven't started timeshare programs for cruises.

Here we go again....

You buy two CN for $500 ($250 each).  They immediately both charge your on-board account $500 and credit it with $250, which by policy goes first to paydown that $500 you just spent.

Forget the noise.  You spent $250 and will walk off the ship with two, $250 CN certs to apply to a future cruise.  Your only mistake will be asking the CN rep how this works.  That's where the confusion begins.

ETA: before anybody jumps in, yes I realize that you don't walk off the ship with CNs.  They are credited to your account in about 24 hours.

And there you go again.

I find it truly frightening how many people live in glass houses but don't seem to realize it.

(yes, "truly frightening" is extreme hyperbole)

I think this has been gone for months.  Stupid move by NCL.

So, this thread is actually real?  Wow.  Had me fooled.  I need to drink less.

Only if the Girl Scout is 15 years-old and has her own stateroom. 

Why not just sell them out of her room?  Pass the word, "knock, pause, knock, knock" on room 4823 between the hours of 10 and midnight.  Don't forget to add the 20% gratuity.

An NCL agent once asked me if I wanted my middle name added.  I said sure, and from then on it showed up everywhere.

We got pizza

Okay, I'll only take blame/credit for the pizza.  I asked a rhetorical question and thar she blows!!! (heavy on the blows).  I haven't spent a dime at Pizza Hut or Dominos for many years.  I really don't think it should be legal for them to even call it pizza.🤣

The alternative is to lower the quality of the product while maintaining the price - I'm not sure in what business model that would make sense. 

It may not make sense, but it happens a LOT.  Have you gotten pizza from Pizza Hut or Dominos recently?

Deja Vu??  Hmmm...

Total bust of a cruise when alone. All I did was eat, drink and gamble for an entire week...

This really doesn't sound like "total bust."

They are like exactly the same.  Encore is likely the one going to Glacier Bay, so I would pick that one.

Actually, that does sound interesting.  I love watching people squirm.  

On vacation?  Really?

Would a discussion with the laundry manager about the latest detergents be more up your alley?

Of course not.  That wouldn't be interesting either.  Short of dining with the Captain, I doubt I would find any such foolishness interesting.  I am Sapphire and gladly pass on each and every opportunity.  If others find them to be "fun," knock yourselves out!  You can have my seat.

I'd LOVE to have dinner with the art auction manager. But I'm an art collector who *might* just ask some pointed questions about the sales tactics and the art available on the ship. I can guarantee it would be an interesting dinner. 🙂

That doesn't sound very interesting for the others who are dining with you.
