Thermal Spa Transatlantic 14 day question
shanefm3 replied to shanefm3's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Norwegian Getaway.....Thats the issue, I can't see the price until i reserve cruise. I am expecting it to be around $5-600 but just want the correct info -
After a circular conversation with NCL, they refuse to give me a price for the thermal spa cost for a cruise out of New York on Apr 29th. The fare is now $1000 but I'd like to know ballpark cost of both spa and Wi-Fi. It seems to me to be ridiculous not to be transparent and to have to make a reservation to get this info makes no sense Anyone please help me so I can make an informed decision

Plastered ??. What are you talking about ?. There isn’t one sign in room nor around ship . I called medical office and no answer !!. I left a vm indicating our positive cases and received zero response . However, we were informed of a major medical issue onboard that forced us to return to Miami at 1am. Maybe this was more pressing . Without a doubt , NCL have no concerns about CoVid anymore , they want heads in beds . It seemed every second person was coughing onboard and no masks present . It’ll be quite a while before i sail again, the standards just aren’t there anymore

Notified the cabin steward and was informed to just wear a mask when leaving cabin. Every … second…. Person is coughing and walking down the corridor sounds like a hospital ward . My assumption is NCL aren’t interested in CoVid anymore . I think it would be scary to know the infection rate onboard here . Long time seasoned cruiser will be taking a step back from cruising and finding a different way to relax in the sun . Something a little less crowded

Ok. Disregard all the food comments ( apart from the toughness of some items) . Apparently, the food quality should be put down to both of us catching CoVid . I had noticed a significant number of people coughing on board over the last few days and as hard as we tried to be careful . We have both tested positive today . We brought kits with us . My wives symptoms are worse than mine ( mine so far is just taste )

Cruise going well, i am however disappointed with the food . The meal in Le Bistro was poor, just poor . We waited 45 mins for appetizers and then another hour for main courses. I had the Dover sole which was like shoe leather . The chicken dish ( Coq) was better but just not worth the wait . Last night in Savor , the steak was inedible as was the country chicken. It’s just not up to previous standards . We are at 80% capacity . Today, while waiting for omelette, the cook said to an officer “ please get me off this line”. He too was waiting for his omelette. Strange … so far, Cagneys has been the winner and if I’d to do it over, I would just dine there every evening The ports have been quiet . St Thomas is a shadow of its former self, with many many closed stores . Tortola is basic with just a dozen or so stores . CoVid has left its mark i think , with many businesses unable to see it out . Hopefully it’ll bounce back for them

Yes, according to some guys puffing away inside the small cigar room

Fun time at Amber Cove . We did solar paddle boat for 30 mins ( $40) and $20 for paddle board for kid . Not much to do apart from the pool which was crazy loud and busy with two ships here. Zip line is $20 if you want to go once or 10 times . We’d a quick walk around stores , they were pretty much the same and nothing really spectacular. Took the bicycle carriage back to ship and enjoyed an empty pool and ship . Surprising people would leave a pool which was busy all week to go to another busy pool, when the ship was practically empty 🤷

Amazing dinner at Cagneys , followed by a visit to Spice for some 70s and 80s fun. Amber Cove tomorrow, never been so we will see

Day 1 Arrived early to port (9am)and was onboard at 1130am. Went to Taste and food was decent . Very slow service which seems to be the way it is now . Dinner at Savor was also incredibly slow Day2 Most excursions are sold out . I was only planning on one and was fortunate to get it . If you’ve something you have your heart set on, book early … Lunch at Sheehans took 90 mins , 30 for seat and 60 for food. It might be that I’m getting older but the staff are wearing these foam like masks which makes it incredibly hard to hear , especially if there is background. It must be others too as a good few staff end up pulling down their masks to speak.. go figure so that’s my major complaints , slow slow slow in dining rooms . I’m trying Cagneys tonight . I got the Vibe pass which is great , i got the spa pass which is great . I’m on vacation which is great . I can easily wait for food , it’s just a comparison to my last 20 NCL cruises . This has been slow , painfully so. The food is ok , had better but it’s edible . Main dining room decent compared to buffet and Sheehans . I’ll explore other dining locations full ship, lots of kids , everyone seems to be happy to be back . To me , this cruise and my previous in March just feels a bit unNCL like . Staff seems distracted

I’d have liked them to say sorry . I didn’t get that once . I never asked for anything from GS. I accepted two t shirts that they offered along with an amenity kit. I have insurance . Not sure what’s so hard to understand about this as it’s been the subject of the entire post

NCL “lost” three suitcases in two cruises . The previous people had no insurance according to the posts . So absolutely no benefit to them lying . I’ve luckily traveled and insured with the same company for the last 20 vacations without a claim being made. I think it’s likely down to dwindling tips due to half full cruises and there are now thieves in their employment . The entire post is about the lack of engagement from NCL to a customer who has spent close to 100k in past cruises , with another 10k coming in July . Offering two t shirts and toothpaste is insufficient. Yes, i have insurance but that is irrelevant to how NCL handle lost cases . I’m 50 years old with another 100k most likely to spend on cruises in the coming years . It’ll be spent elsewhere I am well aware of the guest contract and what they are entitled to do . It’s not about what they have to do , it’s about what they should do and to this point , Not one person has said “ we are sorry”. “Regretting that I am still disappointed” is NOT an apology
