    Cancellation not including the CruiseNext amount

    This is interesting. If this is the case, my strategy may have to change. My two options are either wait for NCL to cancel or file a CFAR claim for 75% refund. I am not interested in the gift certificate option.

     

    I've been holding out for NCL to cancel so I could get a full refund as opposed to 75%. But, all but $77 of my cruise fare was covered by a double up cruise next certificate and it sounds like they are being returned to the latitudes account. So, if NCL cancels, maybe a large portion of my cruise fare would be returned to my latitudes account for a future cruise, which is what I am trying to avoid,

     

    Maybe the better strategy now is for me to cancel before NCL does which then subjects my entire cruise fare to penalty. I'd presumably forfeit the cruise next certificates that I used. I'd then file a claim with my travel insurance CFAR for 75% of my cruise fare and get that back in cash as opposed to Cruise Next Certificates being returned to my Latitudes account. NCL would then return my port charges and beverage charges since I am not using Peace of Mind offer.

    So you are going through these mental gymnastics for 25% of 77 dollars ?? Dude~

    Temps in late Dec on boat?

    My goodness.... it's really sad to see how nasty this board is getting. I don't post much AT ALL. But, I've been reading this board for over a year. It's a shame to see people jump all over one another. Would you talk to a person's face this way?

     

    Valid question! I like to get on a weather website and do a search of average temperatures. We have been to the Caribbean 3 times in January or February. The air temp is nice and warm.... but the ocean water is frigid cold.

     

    Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

    Sir Lancelot: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I am not afraid.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?

    Sir Lancelot: My name is Sir Lancelot of Camelot.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?

    Sir Lancelot: To seek the Holy Grail.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?

    Sir Lancelot: Blue.

    Bridgekeeper: Go on. Off you go.

    Sir Lancelot: Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.

    Sir Robin: That's easy.

    Bridgekeeper: Stop. Who would cross the Bridge of Death must answer me these questions three, ere the other side he see.

    Sir Robin: Ask me the questions, bridgekeeper. I'm not afraid.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your name?

    Sir Robin: Sir Robin of Camelot.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?

    Sir Robin: To seek the Holy Grail.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is the capital of Assyria?

    [pause]

    Sir Robin: I don't know that.

    [he is thrown over the edge into the volcano]

    Sir Robin: Auuuuuuuugh.

    Bridgekeeper: Stop. What... is your name?

    Galahad: Sir Galahad of Camelot.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?

    Galahad: I seek the Grail.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your favourite colour?

    Galahad: Blue. No, yel...

    [he is also thrown over the edge]

    Galahad: auuuuuuuugh.

    Bridgekeeper: Hee hee heh. Stop. What... is your name?

    King Arthur: It is 'Arthur', King of the Britons.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is your quest?

    King Arthur: To seek the Holy Grail.

    Bridgekeeper: What... is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

    King Arthur: What do you mean? An African or European swallow?

    Bridgekeeper: Huh? I... I don't know that.

    [he is thrown over]

    Bridgekeeper: Auuuuuuuugh.

    Sir Bedevere: How do know so much about swallows?

    King Arthur: Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know

    Loyal Royal tries NCL....sorry but never again...Epic 1/4

    Fixed 4 U:D

    :)

    Ok, I got the cruise for just port charges and taxes thanks to a casino gift so I went with an open mind. But I won't do it again...not for me. There were some positives but not enough.

    Embarkation: with all flight delays, we were there at 3pm amd on the ship by 3:10....luggage (and rum runners) were there shortly after

    Food: pay restaurants were GREAT! Cagneys, Moderno, le bistro, la Cucina and Teppanyaki! Would do them again! Dining room service in taste was HORRIBLE! Many people had "forgotten" apps or soups or salad...me included. Forget trying to get water or soda. Buffet was same as every other cruise line, no complaints. We liked the special burgers on the outside deck.

    Entertainment: FAIL....we were bored! Blue man group was not fun, Legends was AWESOME though, second city (late show) was ok...dualing pianos were hit or miss depending on crowd. But we had the best time at the waves bar with our fav servers! They were a blast.

     

    Now, we had 5 bar servers at waves bar that were AWESOME (best I've ever had), 1 in the casino (had a house drink card in our room waiting I didn't know about) and our room steward were the only exceptional staff we had. Sorry but I'm being honest about this cruise (just got off today). Motion was HORRIBLE and I never get sick. I love the promenade on Royal ships...I felt too closed in on Epic. The worst taste in my mouth was debarktation. THE WORST on any ship. 45 min to get an elevator down...30 min winding to get off ship... We did have an inside room on deck 12 and it really wasn't bad. I know it's different cruises for different folks and I'm sure lots of you love NCL and that's great. I'm glad I got a "free" cruise to at least give them a shot.
