IAcruising

I sailed on the Sun in 2015. Should we swap stories? Mine is simple, shiat happened.

We're all well aware of your opinion about NCL. For reference, I got a New Zealand cruise cancelled that I booked for fun, with maybe some intention of actually going. I was able to put that 10% towards an $8000 cruise I already had booked. I'm a happy man. The grass on my side of the fence is green enough for me.

And yet, you can't resist the insatiable urge to post something else that we all already know. I'm with you brother, I'm with you. 🤣

Your bark isn't working up my tree. I currently have a substantial payment to Delta on an international flight that is non-refundable, but I will get a future credit if the price drops. You can bet I will be watching air fares. I'm staying at 3 different Marriott properties in the Netherlands on points. I will most certainly rebook if the point amounts drop. So, to answer your question, it works in all areas of the travel industry.

Of course, not everyone, but we do both live on the same planet, right? 😃

It's pretty well known that Platinum ship tours and wine tastings fill up quickly. I guess I'll find out when I get there. That is exactly why you can't get it prior. NCL just got you on a 4-day cruise. 😆

Vile? Interesting how food is so subjective. I love the "vile" lobster sauce.

Heheh. Just because I see a duck, and hear a duck, doesn't mean I'm going to ignore the shotgun in the bushes.

Uh, no. They are not.

Or not. Depends on where it's been.

Consider our advice but apply it to your dollar. If you drink more than 2 drinks a day, NCL is for you. If you want a couple gratuities-only specialty meals, NCL is for you. If you are a partier and want to be entertained every moment of every day and night, look at other options. Large, expensive production shows are on the wane with NCL. Others do better. The solo lounge, and solo cabin options (and cost) can be incredible, but not always. Research, research, research. It's your dollar, not ours. Happy cruising! (personal opinion: choose NCL)

But, but, that's the point! What is the motive behind an OP? or a response to an OP? Do they simply want to know if their son can get a virgin drink? Or are they attempting to "find a scheme" to get around paying for their son's drink? Motive. Exactly. Feel free to join in.

Welcome to the NCL family! They have some benefits that you wouldn't otherwise see until it actually puts money back in your pocket. Have a great cruise. (apologies, of course to our European cruisers)

Did you try chat? I bet you didn't. 😉

From experience, book MDR for the first night, for sure. It's a cluster. We didn't have more than a 5 to 10-minute wait at the MDR's after the first night. Also, if reservations aren't available online, use chat, or call. You will get them.

No, I'm quite certain it was me. Unless someone had an issue with being called out for "mansplaining", which definitely wasn't me. Oh well. The inner workings here are as mysterious as the inner workings of NCL. 😆

We're deck 10, midship starboard. Unlikely to get the same room steward. Thanks.

Standard for a decade, sign or not. If you want towels replaced, put them on the floor. If they're hanging on the rack, they will stay there.

Since you're back in the thread, would you be willing to post your cabin #? I like to be prepared.

@julig22 Was it something we said? I'm going to blame the banana cargo ship anecdote.

Excellent. Thanks for the update.

Perhaps you've stopped actually reading the threads over the last 70k posts. Understandable. Questions are always answered. But based on experience (which you obviously have), sometimes the motive is just as important as the question. Questioning the OP's motive is just as important as answering the question. Wouldn't you agree? It's certainly more fun.

Heh, no, just a couple decimal points. 8,100,000,000 x .000001. You did say 99.9999 percent, right? I think it's getting way too late for this kinda math.

So, 8100 people have it better than you? That's too bad. 😉

Truth. Reading our cruise page on that site makes my head explode.
