umpy10 Posted November 7, 2014 #1 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I have searched everywhere for an answer to this and have come up with nothing. On a 4 Day Pacific Coastal Cruise, is there a Members Only Cocktail Party or Exclusive Onboard Gathering with Ship Officers. We're on the Sun for a 7 Day Alaska Cruise from Vancouver and then on the 4 Day to San Diego right after. I've looked everywhere for that info and all that I can find is what is offered in points for booking a cruise ( how many days, book more than 9 months, etc.) and the benefits for the different levels. Thank you in advance for any info you can provide. cheers...the Ump...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycarla Posted November 7, 2014 #2 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Pretty sure the answer may be yes, or no. They will put a notice in your room when you board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGP1111 Posted November 7, 2014 #3 Share Posted November 7, 2014 From the NCL Latitudes info page . . . Please note: Ship pin and onboard discounts are available on all sailings. All other benefits are available on sailings 5 days or longer. Welcome Gift, Chocolate-Covered Strawberries and Sparkling Wine are delivered as one per stateroom. Le Bistro benefit can be used at our Italian or Asian specialty restaurants. Restrictions apply. Latitudes Rewards internet minutes cannot be combined with other internet promotional offers. I hope that helps in any way. :) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpecorari Posted November 7, 2014 #4 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Sorry, I can't help you here as I never go. Way to crowded with people who are mostly there for the free booze. Not saying you are......but many are and I'm not a fan of crowds. Harriet Edited November 7, 2014 by hpecorari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go find a place to park myself and then consume as many of the freebies as I can for the hour or so. I should be ashamed.......NOT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of years ago the waiter had a full tray of yellow birds & manhattans & wine & all the typical free booze stuff. My sister told the waiter to leave the tray. He looks at my father who says, "You heard the lady." There were 5 of us so it was only like 2 drinks each but it was funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xenagurl Posted November 7, 2014 #7 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I can't answer with certainty but there was one on the Norwegian Sky 3 day (Miami, Nassau, GSC) last month. So there might be on a 4 day as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I go find a place to park myself and then consume as many of the freebies as I can for the hour or so. I should be ashamed.......NOT! Nothing to be ashamed of at all. I'm just not fond of large crowds so I simply skip all of these. Most of the Officers I meet during the Meet and Greet and we talk throughout the cruise anyway. Free drinks I get in the Casino, which I rarely order as I'm not a big drinker, food...I get enough of that coming to my stateroom and through the rest of the ship. Freebies....they're all junk anyway! LOL But basically, it's the 'crowd thing' that I don't like. Please do enjoy.....and feel free to drink my share as well!

morry2121 Posted November 7, 2014 #10 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Just wondering if this is like Carnival's past guest party with free drinks and finger food? If so, how many NCL's cruises do you have to take to be invited? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpy10 Posted November 7, 2014 Author #11 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Have never been on carnival but it sounds very similar. All you need is to have 1 cruise completed and on the next cruise you'll be able to attend and receive certain amenities. Here's the link to the page that has the different levels and rewards and how many cruise points you can get to reach the next level. http://www.ncl.com/latitudes-rewards/rewards-points-and-benefits cheers...the Ump...:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hpecorari Posted November 7, 2014 #13 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) You get free drinks in the casino? I thought that was only on land! Depending on your CAS status yes. And you can get one in the casino and take it anywhere on the ship. Harriet Edited November 7, 2014 by hpecorari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Clay Clayton Posted November 8, 2014 #15 Share Posted November 8, 2014 If you are like my crowd, we park ourselves near the area where the drinks are set out so that we don't have to wait or a waiter to bring us something....we can just leeeeaaaan over and get it ourselves!;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagnoliaBlossom Posted November 8, 2014 #16 Share Posted November 8, 2014 The Latitudes party is for anyone with one past cruise. There is another party for gold and platinum cruisers. It is the nicer of the two, obviously since there are fewer people. It is by invitation and usually later in the cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvsullivan Posted November 8, 2014 #17 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Actually, the Latitudes party is not held on Sky, Epic, Breakaway or Getaway and is for all Latitudes members. The Latitudes party with Ships Officers is for Silver and above. And there usually been another party for suites only (has been on our last 3 cruises). And the terms do specify that it is for cruises of 5 days or longer, we have not been on a shorter cruise, so don't know about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
