I think it's the same pork belly as before, they just changed the name. I guess "thick cut bacon" is more appealing goatee, tattoo and camo pattern crocs crowd. 

Whatever they call it, they can keep it !!  Had it on my last cruise...worst thing ever...totally undercooked and greasy. 

What a shame !!   PS Anyone have latest Le Bistro menu??

Glad you got it fixed....!!!  Enjoy. 

Just to be safe...I called and had names changed to match passports. Rep said, he thought it was more of a concern for people flying but agreed...better safe than sorry.

The safety guidelines were followed. The open window was high enough according to safety regulations and there is a railing between the guests and the window.

 

No window can be idiot proof.

I totally agree !!!  (BTW in case there is some confusion..--that quote was not mine but rather the family lawyer!!!)

Looks like they ARE continuing with the lawsuit against Royal.  

Attorney Michael Winkleman said in a statement that the child’s death was “a tragic accident,” and that the family, who is from the northern Indiana community of Granger, will be filing a lawsuit against Royal Caribbean “very soon.”

Winkleman has said that Chloe fell through an open 11th-story window on July 7 after she had asked her grandfather to lift her up so she could bang on the glass in a children’s play area. He’s blamed the cruise ship operator for leaving the window open.

“These criminal charges are pouring salt on the open wounds of this grieving family. Clearly this was a tragic accident and the family’s singular goal remains for something like this to never happen again,” Winkleman said in his news release.

“Had the cruise lines simply followed proper safety guidelines for windows, this accident likely would never have happened.”

The outcome does not surprise me. I am curious to see if the family still pursues the suit against Royal.

 as long as it's easy to get them when getting off on an island it works for me 

I don't see how it will be easy....just another thing to make the lines longer getting off the ship...with everyone having to stop and give room number....

No.

Interesting... does CAS waive the single supplement on all cruises, or just some?

Bob...I really can't say...I only know that when I do sail solo I have always just paid for me. I really do not know their policy, though there has been some discussion on CC about it not being across the board for all CAS levels, etc. . 

NCL seems to be having lots of problems with the site !  As I posted last week, sporadically as I signed in, my final payment due  kept changing for NO reason.

But did you pay the full fare (for a standard cabin), or did you get a bargain fare where you only paid half the room for two charge...that could make a difference, maybe.   With a Studio cabin, you are not paying a "single supplement", however, you are paying more than half of a standard inside cabin for two...sometimes even more than the full discounted price for a cabin for two...

 

IIRC, the fine print on the shareholder benefit form says something about not getting the full benefit, in certain condition's, such as special reduced fares...

I book with CAS , with a discount and no solo supplement ...so in essence, I am not paying full fare.  

I have sailed solo and received 100% of benefit. 

I have stayed on board a few times at this port.  I love to watch the port loading activity and just relax on an almost empty ship !!!!

I called two weeks ago to arrange for distilled water for my husband's cpap machine and the rep told me that they get so many requests now that you no longer need to go through the access desk. She just added the note to our account.

Yes--as I recall , last time a made a reservation they asked me (for the first time)  if there were any dietary or other needs. She added distilled water  to my account and said I did not have to contact  access desk.

Yes...as above for water request..but it is best to bring your own extension cord, as they are not always available onboard !!!

Just looked at my cruise booked for 2020....noticed my balance due was over 1000 more than should be 😧  Happened this AM  also...

Can be kind of scary at first glance !  I like it better when it goes back to what it should be....😉

My suggestion to anyone would be to walk in with a drink so you're good to go when you first sit and let your waiter know that you'll be requiring another soon. Lol!!

This is what I do ....never a problem then waiting...😉

Ok--I called again and was reassured that I do have double points....guess time will tell !!

Update...I just now checked by confirmation again AND (bummer!!!!) when they checked for extra point ( and added it ? as Latitudes now does appear on confirmation)...THEY took off my double excursion credit !!!!!!!!!!  I called and only way I could get it put back was to pay extra $50 increase fare.😧

No codes in the pdf. Email confirmation sent to your email address? You will not see the codes in the NCL summary on the NCL website ......

In MY case..got the email confirmation..but no code (as stated above).  I already and still  have  "LATVIP"..does that cover "Lattitudes"  for extra points?  

Called CAS today re: existing reservation.  They said no problem adding "insider" points.  Just got email confirmation, but it does NOT have Lattitudes code.  (but price down a tiny bit///taxes were lower!!!)

I hate  to call back again and ask about Code...I was on hold for so very long 🙁

I have cancelled with no problem at dining desk in lobby.
