Simply playing "devil's advocate," but, could you possibly have multiple account #'s and your certificates exist elsewhere for some unknown reason? Might be a question to pursue...

It is quite likely that you needed to make the typically "Pay" restaurants first, then the others. Simply pick the dates and times you want to eat, and book those with a fee as the first two in the system (any day you desire)! Adding: you can call, or chat, with an agent to get the reservations fixed!

Nope!

I would not recommend just showing-up, unless it is later in the day, after most people have gotten off the ship already.

LOL, I can relate!

I had to look at a Freestyle Daily from a previous cruise, since we don't require Tender Tickets due to our status, Suites/Haven, or, having booked our Shore Excursions with NCL). You may want to check the Freestyle Daily on your cruise for something that looks like this: "You may choose a tender by using any Digital Touch Screen (located near deck/elevator landings. Your Freestyle Key Card will serve as your ticket. Please wait in public lounges until your tender group number is announced over the PA system." (more verbiage follows, but the above gives you an idea of what you are likely to read)

Regarding Great Stirrup Cay... It is a tender stop, so be certain to obtain your tender ticket if you do not book an excursion (or if in the Haven). NOTE: sometimes they have to terminate the stop if there is rough weather/winds/water. If you like snorkeling, they have their own designed area:

@ChiefMateJRK With ☘️ ☘️☘️, and no 🛸🫠... We only have to be concerned about the Bermuda Triangle until we pass Puerto Rico and, as we head back to MIA! DH is laughing that I am now countering with this:

@JakTar Thank you for your well-done review! I had quite a few laughs!!! As stated above, (Thank you @schmoopie17) it is extremely thorough and entertaining.

🤣😍 Wishing you and your hubby the best cruise yet!!!

NCL is making changes to some suite categories, especially for cruises in 2024 and beyond. It might be best to call NCL directly, in order to verify what benefits you will be receiving for your suite!

I read the above sentence and want to know if you can "time travel"? If so, I'd love to have some of your luck rub-off onto me! 😉

Never have had that happen. Just tell the person at the desk when you arrive at the restaurant that you only have three.

Book table for four!

Dining reservations open at 130 days for Haven/Suite, 125 days for upper Latitudes members, and 120 days prior for others. Also of note, the largest group number is 8 people. Perhaps you would have better luck calling NCL to see if they might be able to help you. Otherwise, you need to make your reservations Onboard, asap!

I "squeeze pennies so tightly, Abe hollers Uncle!"

Unless they have made changes in recent months, the brand is Island Oasis!

Great to read that you had an amazing trip! Just want to clarify your room category:12706 is a Club Balcony Suite. Nice video of the room! The "Suite" part is an NCL blunder, since CBS's do not receive the same amenities as Suites.😏 Also, I'm curious if "Checked out the fallacy pavilion" was a typo, since you stated that it was "quite fun." It seems that you enjoyed the Galaxy Pavilion. (Humorous error if you had not enjoyed it!)

Looking forward to our chances to meet both @ChiefMateJRK and @graphicguy on upcoming cruises!

As @Asawi stated, it would be best if you get your fruit/snack at the buffet during the day to keep in your room (as desired). Also, you can ask your stateroom steward for a an ice bucket, and/or coffee set-up (which might be available). Note: a pleasant request and a tip do tend to help!

Perhaps that was my problem as well. Maybe a good stiff drink (several) would have helped me "chill."

Also verifying that, yes, the date your Cruise First was applied is your Deposit date!

There's nothing quite like an alert drunk! ^ my reaction to Expresso ^
