I didn't know NCL is taking reservations for MD's now.. unless you're a party of 8 or more.

 

And Zimo was just kidding around. You see, it was a funny thread about free things.. oh nevermind.. you either get it or you don't.

I DO understand that these posts were said tongue-in-cheek, and I do get it. However, I did see some people on my cruise do just what was descibed. I just don't want cruisers-to-be to do the same thing and cause delays.

I had no trouble making reservations and I was not a party of of 8 or more.

My wife saw my previous post about our last NCL cruise and the free stuff we got.

 

She pointed out a bunch of things I forgot.

 

The first thing I forgot …when we first got on the ship, they gave us a free glass of champagne or OJ. Damn nice. Later that day when we went on deck one of the waiters handed me another drink in a fancy glass. He must have thought I was famous because he asked me for an autograph. That continued all the first day. They must have figured out later I was a nobody because no one handed me any fancy drinks after day one.

 

Every night at dinnertime we had a tough time choosing which restaurant to eat at. We would go to each hostess stand and get one of them free buzzer things that look like a garage door opener and whatever one went off first, that’s where we went to dinner. By the end of the week, we had quite a supply of them. We will be selling em on Ebay soon cheap, so maybe you can pick one up for your cruise.

 

Dinners were a surprise as they came with unlimited drinks, if you liked water or iced T. You could get as many serving of food as you wanted as well. I think I set some kind of record when I ordered three lobster tails, the waiter sure acted like it.

 

We had been on an NCL ship before so we got invited to an Attitudes party and we did manage to snag a bunch of free drinks and hors de ovaries. Pretty kewl, we got to rub elbows with the Captain, staff and some blue bloods. I think someone special was supposed to be there as I kept hearing people talking in whispers about Anoro Vyrus. Never saw him.

 

When we went to the NCL private island they gave us free cruise tickets to get on another boat to go over and come back because we could not dock. I always wanted to sail on the Norway. Was not as big as I expected.

 

They advertised that they had a free Bar B Q on the island, except all we found were hotdogs, hamburgs and pizza. Musta been on the other side of the island.

 

They had these free magic signs that you put in your door. They worked every time. If you put the “Do not disturb” side up, your room was like frozen in time and was EXACTLY the same when you came back. And if you turned it over to the make up room side, when you returned, it was like magic, everything was clean and tidy like when you first walked in. I took several home, routed out the same size slot in our bedroom door, stuck in a sign, and nothing, the magic was gone…..

 

There were some very kewl animals left in our room every night too. The wife was kinda disappointed when we got home because when she washed em they turned into towels. I think she washed the magic outta them too.

 

I hope our experiences help you with your cruise choice. If you have any questions, please ask.

I just returned from the Pearl and I enjoyed the cruise very much. I never had to wait for dinner because I would call the reservation desk about 4 or 5 and request my choice of restaurant and time.

When someone plays a selfesh game of getting pagers from multiple restaurants and waiting for the first one to go off causes delays for other people. We have all seen the complaints from those who had to wait.
