Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I print everything and keep a digital copy as well. However, for our trip on the Encore next week, I will be using an electronic copy of the test results as I will not have access to the printer as we are arriving to the port a week early. I would suggest downloading and saving any digital document on your phone or tablet so that you don't need to rely on a cellular data connection at the port.
  2. It really depends on the itinerary and the ship. Ships where the majority of cabins are balconies tend to have a lower price difference between OV and balcony. The itinerary also makes a big difference. If you're doing Norway, Iceland, Greenland, Alaska, etc., you can expect a significant price difference between the categories.
  3. As long as you're onboard the next day by the all-aboard time, you'll be fine. The gangway remains open the entire time your ship is in port, so if you wanted to return at 3 in the morning and then leave again at 7 a.m., you'd be free to do so.
  4. This OBC would be refundable, however, whereas the OBC they already have is likely not refundable.
  5. @IMNOFUN Testing information does not need to be entered into the ArriveCAN app and is not required for entry into Canada if vaccinated. Also, there are a variety of proctored at-home tests that are much less expensive than what you're paying. For 6 of us, we paid $150 plus shipping and do it through a video call. There's also a new proctoring service that allows you to use your own tests and will certify the results.
  6. As the PP stated, just bring them along with you to the port. Unfortunately, NCL doesn't have you upload the documents in advance, so keep them handy to be viewed during check in. We sailed Holland America a couple of months ago and they had a service where you upload your test results and proof of vaccination, so they only thing we had to show at the port was our passports. It was the easiest embarkation I've ever had. It was about 5 minutes from getting dropped off to boarding the ship. The longest delay was going through security and having our security photo taken.
  7. Sorry that I missed your reply. OneNote should auto sync so that the documents are available offline unless you've turned it off, but it's the default. For OneDrive, you need to click on the three dots next to the folder if you have Microsoft 365 and you'll have the option to make the entire folder available offline. If not, then you need to click on the three dots next to each document and select "make available offline."
  8. This was very helpful; thanks for asking. We've spent some enjoyable, quality time playing board games with my son and our nieces while on cruises along with everything else that the ship has to offer. My wife and niece even enjoyed putting a puzzle together as that's something that don't normally get to do together.
  9. You can get a price estimate here: https://www.uber.com/global/en/price-estimate/ You can also schedule ahead up to 30 days in advance in many cases, although sometimes this isn't possible from airport pickup locations.
  10. As others have said, you should really considering bringing your own conditioner if you use it as NCL only provides shampoo. They claim it's conditioning shampoo, but it's barely shampoo and I didn't experience anything that would suggest it was conditioning.
  11. NCL's messaging has not been very clear. Upon first reading, I'm guessing many thought that testing would not be required to board the ship. We also received luggage tags from NCL for some reason. Inside, there was a letting stating that you needing to be vaccinated at least two weeks prior to board the vessel, yet there was no mention of the testing requirement. As a result, a friend on the same sailing assumed that they had dropped the testing requirement since it wasn't mentioned.
  12. You might be able to provided that you hold 200 shares of stock.
  13. Something similar happened to me. I had the screenshot showing that they were selected, but when I received the confirmation, they weren't there. It was just a matter of waiting on hold and having the gratuities applied as they were also not one the confirmation. If you booked a sail away rate, then you will need to rebook/reprice. If it's just a matter of adding the perks, then you should only need to pay the gratuities.
  14. I have the Delta Airlines Platinum card and it's not showing for us, either.
  15. I use OneNote, along with OneDrive, too. I just make sure to select the option to make the document available offline so that data isn't required to bring it up. I also attach the documents to my calendar items. For example, for our boarding time, I have it in my calendar and have our boarding documents attached to that appointment as well as our proof of vaccination. When the tests are completed, I'll add those as well. I haven't considered OneNote specifically, but that's a great idea as you can put all of the necessary information together in a collection.
