911 for emergencies is prominently featured in the safety video all passengers are required to watch, it's on the front page of each daily, and if I recall correctly, is printed on the phones themselves in the cabins and in public areas. And yes, if I were traveling in the UK or other European countries, I would learn what their emergency number is.

No, it's really not the same thing. It's not like the kitchen staff is throwing half eaten or uneaten lobsters, steaks, and french fries off the back of the ship.

No, they don't just throw it overboard. It gets processed into a liquid slurry that is discharged at sea, away from coastlines.

It's not "nickel and diming" to only charge customers for what they actually want and choose to partake in--(specialty) food/beverages, activities, excursions, amenities, et al.

Alternatively, people could just pay attention to the instructions they were given, multiple times. It's not like "dial 911 in an emergency" is a new concept. NCL isn't suggesting people remember and call some random number such as 3624.

There's a difference between a perceived scarcity of cookies, and "Cookies are no longer available on NCL per a crew member", which was the initial claim.

I personally don't get why people post rumors as if they were facts. The lobster situation was true, at least for a while, because people posted photos of the Haven menu stating the extra charge. The Cookie situation was a whole 'nother thing. Someone posted that "cookies are no longer available on NCL", "according to a crew member." Within a day or two, others posted photographic evidence of cookies being available, in areas both restricted and public. There's further confirmation in this very thread. The original post about cookies simply wasn't true.

I don't know if it rises to the level of a crime, but I don't think that servers are even supposed to offer alcohol to minors.

I'm sure you're sensitive to smoke, lots of people are, but there's no such thing as an allergy to smoke, medically-speaking. Tobacco Allergy: Can You Be Allergic to Cigarette Smoke? (healthline.com) Allergic Sensitization, Rhinitis and Tobacco Smoke Exposure in US Adults - PMC (nih.gov)

Agreed. That was my point, if I wasn't clear.

Nothing in the linked article says the guy was a cancer patient using it for medicinal purposes. Not that it would excuse breaking the host country's laws or NCL's rules. Maybe he just had it for funsies.

Trying again. There was a post less than 48 hours prior to mine showing the availability of cookies in the Great Outdoors. There have also been reports of cookies in the Casino. Neither of those areas are "limited access".

Here's what I don't get about this entire kerfuffle. People having been saying that cookies are no longer available on NCL, per crew and even Officers. On the other hand, others are posting current photographic evidence that cookies ARE available in the Solo Lounge, Haven, Great Outdoors, et al. Both can't be true simultaneously. I trust the folks with evidence, rather than those relying upon what others (even crew) have told them. YMMV.

It's possible someone left their pet unicorn tethered to the bed, as well. There's a difference between personal items such as razors or sponges, and valuables like gold watches, diamond rings, or wallets. The latter they might "report them to their supervisor", the rest, no.

What I wonder is how a lack of towel animals constitutes a "reduction in service"? Towel animals are not a service.

Ah, thanks.

Forgive me, but is an orange card?

Certain days? Huh? Guest Services is open 24/7. Confirmed from a Daily dated 1/7/2024.

How does one accidentally open the partition? 🙂

Does anyone have actual documentation of NCL's policy, rather than personal stories?

You're right, I misunderstood your post. My apologies.

Not according to the picture on Denny's website: Sirloin Steak & Eggs | Denny's (dennys.com) Definitely not the hockey puck style.

I've been on the Epic and know the bathroom set-up. How is using a public bathroom a better option than the one in the cabin with someone you know?

Wait, what?

Those doors were closed, sure, but not locked, as that would be a major fire hazard.
