Specifically, look for the "CruiseNext" desk, in the atrium.

Aside from loud music and/or talking late at night, the noises that bothers me the most, are the chairs and tables being moved around in the early morning hours. (Cleaning of the area and replacing chairs/tables into position). I now travel with earplugs for that reason. But, if I can get a lower deck, I am a lot happier!

If you want a quick way, try: https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/NCL/

You can try this: Log into your account. Open your booked cruise. Select Explore and Plan. Select "Beverages" (scroll down and you should be able to see options). Hopefully, this helps you find what you want.

The VIBE on the some of the NCL cruise ships have their own Cabanas available to "rent" for use the entire week while onboard the ship. The Cabanas (and/or the VILLAS/Silver Cove) on Great Stirrup Cay are Shore Excursion purchases. It is quite possible that for your sailing on Encore in January, that the cabanas have already sold-out (especially if there will be 2 ships at GSC on the same day).

In April, an excursion (for a future cruise) was cancelled. Currently, that cruise has the same excursion showing available to book ...at $30 more, per person! Excursion prices are going up, not down.

>>> Notice that Studio, Inside, Oceanview receive 1 fewer meals than Balcony and above!

I found this reply by @natefish95, posted July 2021. "For the free one, enter the gym on Deck 12, and the locker rooms are on the right. In the locker room, it's tucked around the corner, but I'm sure you can find it once in the locker room lol. It's pretty small but room for maybe about 4 people comfortably? I highly recommend taking the spa tour on day 1. That tour influenced me to book the thermal suite. Worth the price. Always nice, quiet and relaxing, and a great way to meet people if you're traveling solo (like I usually am). "

On our last cruise, I took a Starbucks Gift Card that I already had. I didn't use it much while on the cruise, but when I did use it, I didn't have to worry about extra expenses on our account!

Additional $34.80 per person/per day (after the additional 20% gratuities on the PPBP).

Yes!

https://www.thebroadwaycruise.com/ I don't recall NCL doing this before! *** It is a SIXTHMAN Group (charter) cruise ***

Honestly, in either case (Beverage Pkg vs Excursions) prices "could" go up. With that "maybe" in mind, I would choose whichever selection was of greater importance to us. BTW, what a wonderful gift!!!

I am fairly certain that only the persons who pay for Mandara Spa (or have one of the Silver Cove Villas) will be allowed to enjoy the buffet!

@CruisingLover I finally found some pictures from our Bliss cruise 2019. We were in 12308, but hopefully you can get an idea of the more narrow room set-up. I hope these help some!

The process has not changed much. Haven/Suites, Excursion Tickets, Latitudes levels all have priority. Those without any of the above will need to get tickets for tenders.

I removed them because I posted wrong info.

Keep posting incorrect link. My apologies!!!

@DAllenTCY The above answer is one good option! Another option is to order 2 glasses of your selection of wine and carry 1 or 2 (per person) to your stateroom for consumption there. To "keep" for later, we have used previously emptied (clean) "Rum Runners", OR, we utilize an empty wine bottle (we had ordered and had already consumed onboard).

I've read some different post from adults using proctored tests. Maybe something like this could work for you. https://onpoint-testing.com/product/virtual-rapid-molecular-test-kit-also-known-as-pcr-30-minute-results/

NCL sure does have a way of splitting-up important information!

From the way I read this, yes! All travelers, with limited exceptions, whether entering Canada by air, land, rail or marine vessel, must use ArriveCAN unless you're exempt from this requirement due to an accessibility need. You'll need to submit your information within 72 hours: More info: https://www.canada.ca/en/border-services-agency/services/arrivecan.html

I'm not sure why you and/or your wife believe you need a PCR test. ... My Apologies ...See important info in post # 7 below!!!

We have used OBC to play Bingo.

Yes, back in 2017, the rules for the Shore Excursion Credit were much more relaxed. Times have changed and NCL is trying to get every dollar that they can.
