Also if you cruise out of Boston, you will arrive in Bermuda on a Sunday. The NCL ferry to St. George isn't running, and the public ferry service doesn't run as often. Also many shops in Hamilton are closed on Sunday. Having sailed Prima back in October for 12 days I can tell you that Prima might be good for teenagers, with the go karts and the Galaxy Pavillion, but the general consensus is that Prima isn't really a ship for young kids.

Wait a minute. I think there may have been a miscommunication regarding the next cruises being sold out, as it is still on sale with lots of availability in most categories. Now what I see is that both of the Caribbean runs in February are no longer showing up for booking. I am anxiously awaiting my February 26th cruise. Gonna have a great time even if the ship is full.

# of days till your next Norwegian cruise?
vince_g replied to Vettebuf's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
33 days until February 26th Getaway 12 night Southern Caribbean. -
The terms and conditions don't mention anything about gifting the second voucher. But it does state that you cannot use both vouchers in the same place. How was it you managed to use both vouchers for the same place? Will be on Getaway in February with friends, and we would be interested in dining with them at a specialty restaurant without anyone having to pay.

You mean that "stuff" they used to put in your cabin as a loyalty reward. Awful swill.....
-
That isn't true. It is only if you cancel and rebook. I repriced a cruise a where the deposit was a cruise next certificate, and NCL did not remove the extra $250.

Of course, silly. Just saying they don't bring a large till with them.

It is paid out in cash. In the past they have always sent a check if you left the ship with unused OBC, but on my October cruise on Prima, I was pulled out of line at the gangway with a refund due me. There was a cashier stationed at the gangway, and fortunately there was no line. I never bought the cruise next certificates I had planned on buying, so I had over $1,000 coming back to me. It really cleaned the guy's cash drawer out. Collect your cash the day before arrival.

Upgrade costs for NCL upgrade program
vince_g replied to Toottoot22's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Nope. All the upgrade would get you is a better cabin. Check the FAQ for upgrade advantage. It's question number 5. -
So I have a 9-9:30 am check-in. Is that good?
vince_g replied to Sigyn's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Arrived at the pier at 12:30 for the October 15th Prima. There was absolutely no line whatsoever for check in and we walked right on the ship. Used to think arriving early was the way to go, but always hated sitting around waiting for the ship to be cleared, but this latest embarkation experience has changed that view. -
For what it's worth it's more of a problem in the aft part of the ship, because that is where all the lounge chairs/sunbeds and the infinity pools are located. I don't believe it would be a problem for cabins more forward where the sculptures are, or even further forward, where the nice ocean facing couches are.

Current Check In/Boarding Times Procedure?
vince_g replied to Greenpea2's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We found it way easier to use the "take photo" option rather than uploading a photo. When I tried uploading a photo, their system didn't accept it. It was a JPG file, but for some reason they didn't like it. When using the take photo option, it acts just like the facial recognition software and gives you a circle to move your face into, assuring that an acceptable image is captured. -
OBC Shareholder credit for 14 day cruise reduced to $100?
vince_g replied to Always Cruising's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It was $250 for a 14 night cruise years ago. -
NCL Prima - Tips for Indulge Food Hall
vince_g replied to brigand13's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
The filet mignon on Seaside Rotisserie's dinner menu is fantastic. The Montedito, which is crab on a sourdough toast from Tapas is really delicious. -
It is actually only the category BF that is guarantee only. I searched an online cruise agency for your sailing, and all categories of balcony higher than BF were available for cabin assignments. I do see what you mean with the website. NCL lumps together categories BA-BF, where the travel agency still has them separated out. With NCL you pay more if you select a higher deck because they are a higher category. I do see that NCL isn't giving you the option to select another stateroom, and that is the issue, not that they don't have cabin assignments available. I would call NCL to book this.

Just did a mock booking, selecting a cheap inside cabin. My coupon would save 106.35 on this cabin.

Price drop after final payment for NCL cruise - request OBC?
