We didn’t and had to wait in casinos at sea line 😡

Thanks hippo. I called to ask about it was told by ncl rep that you book on the ship. ? Guess they don’t know what’s going on

I heard this was cancelled for June. Anyone know for certain? Thanks

Has anyone taken the old cars tour in Cuba? What company does Royal Caribbean use?

We stay at Hampton inn brickel downtown. Not cheap but secure building you get free drink tickets for the pool bar and a very nice breaksfast in morning. There is shuttle service to the port for 8 dollar per person. There are a lot of great restaurants close too

I posted today about the increase in price of the villas and cabanas. On the web site to research shore excursions the villas showed a price of 349 now 699 and cabanas 175 now 399. I called to ask why the big price increase or if it was a mistake. They said it was high season...in October? And there wouldn't be a ship there if the hurricane hadn't happened. Price gouging!!:mad:

Just got off phone to ask why some shore excursions prices have doubled. A cabana listed on the web site was listed at 175 now it's 399. Villa was 349 now 699. The rep explained that prices change for example during high season. In October it's high season? And there wouldn't have been a ship there if it hadn't been for the hurricane. Escape is the only ship there. Really makes me not want to book an excursion if we are just getting gouged because of the hurricane.

I was reading the posts on the first night discount for the show. Will be on breakaway August 16 2015. Mking8288 I noticed you were on the ss seabreeze in 1998 my husband and I were on that ship 1999. Cruised the Panama Canal

thanks for the advise..I thought about the fare for taxi and had a filling it would eat up the cost of my savings..looks like I'm still looking at fares to LAX

In the planning stages..leaving March 22 from Los Angeles I'm assuming San Pedro pier? I've noticed for me (from Omaha NE) Burbank airport is cheaper than LAX. After reading here it sounds like it would be best to take a taxi to a hotel closer to the pier the day before the cruise. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks

question about the perks..are you using Harrah's platinum perks to get the free dining? or is that with NCL?

I didn't know you could use your Harrah's perks (I'm Seven Star) to dine in the fee dining areas. We are doing this cruise in 3 weeks..staying at the Harrah's too (free) and our cruise is free too..(except taxes and port cost). Suppose to be able to get drinks in casino for no charge as well..Did you find that true? We are also flying free (NCL credit cards points)

Thanks for the info :-)

Hoping for feed back too. We are planning on doing this excursion. We have beach activies planned for other ports and we have been to Dunns River falls. Going on Independence Feb 24, 2013.

Our first cruise was in 1998 on Sovereign of the Seas, even tho we enjoyed our little 3 night bahamas cruise I think it would be our next one that was most exciting. We sailed for 7 nights on the S. S. SeaBreeze and loved her. Too bad my favoriate slot machine is at the bottom of the ocean. I learned to play video poker on her. :-(

I was always interested in my Father's stories of being on a ship. He was on the USS Los Angeles during the Korean conflict. There is a picture of him standing on deck pointing to a shelled stack in the Los Angeles newspaper from that time. He doesn't talk about it much any more but I have always wondered what happened to his ship.

First timer. :-) My question is...

I'm planning on a New England cruise in Sept 08. I will be purchasing the cruise with Travelocity. Right now I have 2050 in points. So do you call NCL and get the certs. sent to you first or book the cruise? I really don't need to book it for a few more months. Do I also tell Travelocity that I have these NCL certs?

I'm still confused with the process. I just want to do it in the right order so I don't lose my points.

Thanks
