Normally in a situation like this, they just just delete the item and move on. Now, it appears that they're actually calling the waiter who served me...

I just checked my account and they still ended up charging me for the additional app at Le Bistro. Looks like I'll be drinking my coffee in line at Guest Services. There's also another twenty dollar "service charge" with no explanation.

I read on another review, that the person asked if he could order an extra app and not be charged since he wasn’t going to have dessert.  The answer was no.

Is the other 20 the increased daily service charge?  Or something different?

Whatever this is looks pretty nice. On second glance, this is part of the buffet... WOW.

 

 

Sid, that's not the buffet.  I believe it could be the Commodore Room, which is the smaller MDR.  It's purely speculative since we ate all of our MDR meals in the Hudson, which was the most beautiful looking MDR we have seen in almost 50 cruises.

On second thought, I believe that particular area is part of Palomar. My mistake.

Yes, that's what it turned out to be. I have always been used to just being charged a total at the end of the cruise.

[sid_9169]

After twenty minutes of back and forth, including a phone call to the actual waiter, they deducted the charge. I've never had to fight so hard for ten bucks in my life, but I wasn't about to let it slide. I guess this is the new reality we're living in. Strict limits on the SDP...

I thought I saw a margarita tap in a photo someone else posted from the lounge.. it might not be acceptable as I think it was strawberry. 

The only on tap Margarita is the Smoked Peach one that a few of the bars have on tap.

So far it's been Patron, Tromba, and one other one I can't remember.

If you're going to be enjoying any vodka based drinks, Rommel turned me on to Avorza.  It's a organic vodka from Poland that the ship had gotten back in the fall.  Had many a spicy Bloody Mary in Vibe with it.

Quick little breakfast at the Indulge Food Hall. Omelette with cheese croissant and scrambled eggs with hash browns.

Nope.  Don’t like that.  
Not a good passenger experience for you.  Let’s hope the rest is much better.

I've gotta say that NCL has upped their game with this food hall. Everything I've had so far has been great.

Infinity pool on deck 8... I can see this area getting chogged later.

 

 

 

[sid_9169]

This entire section is chogged already, and not a single person in sight.

 

 

[sid_9169]

Here's the slide, complete with a trip right through people's balcony.

I received an invite to the captains reception later today, although it's not in the Haven. Only thing is, I already have a reservation at Palomar at the exact same time. Something tells me that my VIP treatment basically began and ended with the priority embarkation and this party...

I wonder how noisy the cabins and balconies are during slide use.

Don't forget the chocolate covered strawberries you got. 😉
