I hope you make it to Costa Rica. Looking at it from NCL's perspective, Mexican ports are becoming increasingly problematic for both their Mexican Riviera and Panama Canal itineraries. I'm sure it's quite a dilemma for them since they can't afford to just ditch those markets. (P.S. If you get off the ship in Acapulco be sure to check the fine print on your travel insurance!)
We are booked on NCL Jewel in November 2024. Panama Canal cruise, Los Angeles to Tampa.. They have sent out email indicating they have canceled 5 ports of the 17 day cruise. Does any one know if this is an ongoing problem thru Mexico ?

I kinda disagree. I booked with Costco and they now say they won't get involved with the booking if you are wanting the BOGO offer for flights.
Call NCL again..they did it for me. We went one way from Phoenix to Lisbon and our next leg was Lisbon to Rio De Janeiro.
Travel times were excellent and we had no glitches at all.

What graphicguy just said.🥰
We just got off the Star in Rio. We had missed ports and all, it was still a great trip with so many new faces and now new friends. (If only our old friends had joined us. )

IF I was to use points for OBC and did not use all of the OBC, what happens to those $$s

How far in advance should I redeem points for onboard credit. Does it have to be done a certain number of days before sail date ?

Is it possible to bring back a bottle of wine or two from from the various ports we visit, or just at the time of boarding
-
Thank you ! I just went there and found all the answers to my questions.

Where can I find the benefits available for the Norwegian world points card ? I have seen what points are allotted for the dollars spent... but what is the meaning of eligible airlines and hotels. Which airline and which hotels ? How do you apply the points benefits at the time you are ready to use them ?

Thank you, deck 10 was my preference..but I wasn't sure of what deck 8 and 9 may have to offer. I will try to get 10726.. it's going to be a long journey next Fall.
Thank you both for your thoughts on this. Sure don't want to be above the Bliss.

I have looked at the deck plans and as yet I have no decision on which deck may have the better balcony. Deck 10 may have the deepest balcony,
Deck 8 has a wrap around and I'm not sure what the benefit may be on deck 9.
If any of you who has recently sailed on the Star can offer an opinion, I would very much like to hear your thoughts.

You may or may not have heard. There goes Alaska. Maybe from Seattle ??

Got an email today notifying me of the itinerary change. I was booked on a 5 day cruise to Canada out of NYC. It's now a 5 day cruise to Bermuda with an overnight! The email also said that I would be getting a 10% FCC. I'm pleased about the change considering my April Bermuda cruise was cancelled.
What ship would that be ? And what is the date of your cruise ?

We board next week. I have been told Bruno is there until December.

Does anyone know who the current concierge is on the Jade ?

Now that you have OBC, can you cancel prepaid gratuities?
Can you pay Gratuities /Daily Service Charges with non refundable OBC ?

I have these and they are super strong: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073W2CML8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
However, I'm still only exploring Norwegian as a cruise option and have only used these hooks on Royal Caribbean but they are perfect.
We use these as well. But a note of caution... they can hold a lot of weight if applied to the ceiling with a straight down pull . but on a wall anything heavier than a hat will have them sliding down the wall. I tried them on our refrigerator at home.. same problem. Attached to our cabin ceiling on the ship.... perfect.

We are considering a Southern Caribbean cruise in 2020 the offer to fly from Phoenix to New York is $135.00 (flight) and $93 (transfer to and from the ship).
The ship departs at 4:00 pm. Does this sound somewhat tight on timing ? What airlines are NCL likley to use for this 6 or 7 hours flight ?
Any thoughts from those who have already done something from the west coast ?

We make that drive in 4 hours all the time, but we go waaaay early on weekend mornings. If you are going on a weekday you will hit traffic and I'd expect 5-6 hours to get from one to the other. Add in any delay docking or disembarking in Boston and this won't work by car
It's a Friday... I guess we're out luck on that particular thought. It seemed like such a good idea. 👐
-
Okay... I thought it was a good idea, but doubted the timing as well. I appreciate your in put. I'll pick one or the other but not both.
Thank you.

The 2 cruises I'm looking at have NCL Gem arriving in Boston at 8:00 AM and the NCL Breakaway departing the Manhattan terminal at 5:00 pm on the same day.
Is this cutting it too close for consideration ? If it's doable... what would be best way to get to the Manhattan terminal ?

I have been looking at both the new Premium Beverage Package and the new Premium Plus Beverage package. In the past for the occasional premium brand
of top shelf scotch, my husband just paid the difference in the cost difference over the $15.00 allowable.price. Does anyone know if this practice will continue ?
-
Good to know. It was mentioned by a fellow cruiser for an up coming cruise.
-
Can anyone tell me if the key cards for the Jade have a chip in them or can the key cards be "punched" and attached to a lanyard for convenience ?
If you have any info. on other NCL ships, that would be helpful as well.
-
Thank you both !!
That is just the information I was looking for. Our cruise is late October and I was kind of expecting it to rain.
NCL constant itinerary changes?
in Norwegian Cruise Line

Another question I have. How about the port of Morocco and Casablanca. Again, a missed ports last year for us . Is NCL actually stopping in Africa or do they just leave some of these ports on the itineraries as an enticement ?
