Markj Posted September 6, 2023 #1 Share Posted September 6, 2023 We are sailing on Prima tomorrow and of course when I checked in we watched the MANDATORY safety video. You can't continue check in unless you watch it. NCL has now emailed me 16 times requesting me to watch it. I mean come on, I've had less emails asking me claim £30million from the late King of Togo. Give it a rest NCL!!!!! Anyone else beat that??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare DCGuy64 Posted September 6, 2023 #2 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Would you prefer none? 😂 16 times is way overkill. I have a sneaking suspicion that anytime you login to your NCL account, it triggers that, just like it does with those stupid brochures. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markj Posted September 6, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Just checked into the Radiaso in Reykjavik - and 2 more! And of course I'm happy with the one you have to watch and could accept one more the day before boarding!! But it's just silly now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone acted like NCL does, I'd have hundreds of triplicate emails every day to sort through. Fortunately, the majority of senders are more considerate and professional. Most will take corrective action once an issue presents itself. Haven't seen that and really wouldn't expect it from NCL, though. So sad.

bluesea777 Posted September 6, 2023 #5 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Keep Calm and Carry On Watching the Safety Video. 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis1138 Posted September 6, 2023 #6 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Given that this happens a lot, I thought it would happen to me after I checked in. I watched the video, it registered, and nary a whisper from NCL to my email. They do, however, keep sending me email nags encouraging me to upgrade from a studio cabin. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can convince me to pay $200 to move to an unsold balcony (or $100 to an unsold inside), then they can charge someone else who wants the previously sold out studio?

Give it time; the real nagging happens within the three days before you sail. I had booked for 12 people and I got individual emails for EVERY SINGLE PERSON at least once a day for the three days before the cruise, after I had had to watch the safety video 12 times to get everyone checked in at 30 days ahead. It was insane. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatie Posted September 6, 2023 #10 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I have 12 emails now for the video and have watched it at least four times just to be sure and I can guarantee you that tomorrow when we check in at the muster station they will tell me they have no record of us watching it!

Cruzinnana47 Posted September 6, 2023 #11 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Recently sailed on the NCL Pearl. We stopped counting after the 1st 4 times we received the emails for the check-in that we complied with and just deleted all the ones after that....definitely OVERKILL!

Panhandle Couple Posted September 7, 2023 #14 Share Posted September 7, 2023 My recent dermatologist appt included 2 phone calls to confirm attendance, 3 e-mails, and 4 text messages, all starting at 7 days before the appt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mking8288 Posted September 7, 2023 #15 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Configure and use email's "spam" filtering's advanced options to screen, divert & group those repeating emails into its own folder - check the message headers that you didn't miss anything else important or urgent, i.e. like you got a free upgrade to Haven (just kidding, okay - wishful dreaming) Then, it's one click to delete & wipe them all clean from the Spam/Trash bins of your In-Box. Give it a try - get the "geek" friends, kids, neighbors, etc. to do this for the less tech savvy ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the cruise before that... oh my!... they just kept coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastalbreezes Posted September 7, 2023 #17 Share Posted September 7, 2023 You also have to watch the video on your cabin TV before you can change the channels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcipjr Posted September 7, 2023 #18 Share Posted September 7, 2023 The whole safety video thing is a bit of a mess, if I'm being honest. I always do the check-in for my whole family. After all, what am I supposed to do, make them sign up for NCL accounts and do their own check-ins? Come on. I have to watch the safety video for everyone I'm checking in, so I'm watching it multiple times, and they're watching it 0 times. I imagine that most of the other Designated Vacation Planners in each family is in the same boat (no pun intended), so this means that a sizable percentage of the people onboard aren't watching the video. Not sure what the answer is, but it's certainly not making the person doing check-in for their family watch the video for each person they're checking in.

Cruising Lynne Posted September 7, 2023 #19 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Disregarding numerous emails about the safety video is still better than the whole ship doing in person muster at the same time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so easy to delete an email...I truly don't know why people whine and moan about this. Have they not done an in-person muster drill?

And think of the alternative: people angered because NCL hasn't sent them the required video! People will always find a thing to complain about.

Rare graphicguy Posted September 7, 2023 #24 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Who knows? Sometimes I get one per cruise. Sometimes I get multiples. My theory is their IT dept has several member, all who think it’s their responsibility to send out blanket safety emails. None of them talk to each other. LOL!
