  1. Yes it was - unfortunately some of our US cousins cannot get their heads around the fact that the rest of the world sometimes does and sees things differently.
  2. Cover it with bacon and black pudding before cutting - a bit like the chain-link stuff they use to contain explosions.
  3. This is quite close to your criteria (it is a screenshot of an email from NCL so no searching required).
  4. Same in September on Aurora but it was not triangular - the horror!😡
  5. We also have flights, transfers, Shorex discounts, dining package and Wifi package in that price, so not a bad deal all things considered (for a balcony cabin as well).
  6. "Free at Sea" is NOT free in UK (despite what NCL's marketing wonks would like you to believe). We have just booked 9 days on Prima in November and Free at Sea is £199 per person.
  7. It does not appear that they were friends. AM's nastiness seemed to stay within the family.
  8. Who turned out to be a very nasty piece of work (Which I only found out a day or two ago due to the death of another nasty piece of work).
  9. Your post made me think of Fred Kite, the Peter Sellers shop steward character in I'm All Right Jack.
  10. You could very well be right - but it still indicates a possible trend in the 'base' package T&Cs.
  11. We did a short Princess cruise last year with that medallion thingy. I heard waiters on several occasions letting people know when they were close to their 15 drink limit, so the system does count.
  12. You might want to keep an eye out for a sneaky-ish trend in the Carnival brands. The 15 a day limit used to refer to alcoholic drinks only. It is now beginning to be amended to cover all drinks. HAL started this trend and P&O's new drinks packages seem to be incorporating this change. I'll bet that Princess won't be far behind.
  13. If you get the shuttle coach from Victoria coach station, you go straight into embarkation when you arrive at Tilbury. We usually get given an embarkation time of 12.30 - the coach leaves Victoria at 12.30!
  14. Apparently the term nowadays is 'pre-loading'. In my Battalion shooting team days they were 'warmers into the bank' - followed later by 'shots down the range'🍻.
  15. There is a further point to this thread. NCL has shown a history of these problems, unlike any other cruise line. They have been less than forthcoming about the cause(s). There is a valid discussion to be had about NCL's administration and lack of communications between head office, customer services and the ships. You seem to be deliberately avoiding these issues.
  16. Thoroughly unserious post, I shall not dignify it with any reply save this one.
  17. That sounds like a day stop? Embarkation day (when the problem was) is a totally different ball game.
  18. Clearly you do not know Southampton docks. Sailaway is usually 5pm; all aboard on embarkation day is 90 minutes earlier (3.30pm). It would be a taxi ride there and back to get to any alcohol supplier (probably another hour). Totally impractical suggestion.
  19. As for the skinny trousers that finish halfway down the calf - harrumph.
  20. Probably better not mention Scotland's minimum price per unit of alcohol. That would send NCL's suits into mental meltdown!😈
  21. NCL are in BS mode - whether that stands for blame-shifting or something else - I shall leave for the reader to decide.
