Some folks are reporting being able to get other packages discounted by calling the cruise line directly.

I just called RC. Only the Select package was showing as discounted for me but they told me, and sold me, the premium package for the discounted price.:)

We use govt rates all the time at hilton properties along with many other locations. My husband has a federal govt id. We have been asked to show it on occaision. In fact we have a room booked with it in dania beach homewood suites for our cruise in 2016. I know this doesnt exactly help you with your question, but does she have an ID identifying her as a local govt employee?

??? What is the name of this thread ???

As they cancelled this port and changed it to St.Thomas or St.Croix, for whatever reason they will not land in Tortola as long as the pier is not done, and that might be for another 6 month or so...

Our itinerary still includes Tortola as a port. They were inquiring if it would still be as docked or tendered. There really is no need to be rude!

I'll be staying at the Embassy Suites for 3 nights pre-cruise next month on the 29th. We will be staying at the Hampton next March for 3 days post cruise.

That's funny because we couldn't decide, so we are staying at the Hampton pre cruise and Embassy post cruise!

. We did Blue Water Safari in St. kitts. It was sort of fun.

We are thinking about doing this in st kitts, the sail to Nevis with a snorkel stop. Can you explain what you mean by sort of fun? Thank you.

While I really really really wanted to like NCL and the Pearl, I would choose the Explorer of the Seas over the Pearl. The Explorer did have more to offer for entertainment and I felt, other than the buffet, the food was way better on the Explorer. The buffet wasn't bad on the Explorer, the Pearl just seemed to have more to offer.

I love the royal promenade and the ice shows were great. I thought the staff on both were friendly and helpful, but have more memorable moments on the Explorer. The pool area was more appealing and the solarium was great on the Explorer! And the café on the promenade was nice to stop at for an in between time snack...or late night snack and easy for an early morning coffee (free and self serve--coffee) on the Explorer.

However the Great Outdoors area on the Pearl for breakfast lunch and/or dinner was nice too. It offered unique outdoor aft buffet and seating and a bar too.

Which ever you choose, have a wonderful vacation, you will have a great time either way.
