The last time I sailed Norwegian, my now adult kids were 5 and 3. We’re leaving for our first NCL cruise since then next week and their latitudes status is currently listed as “Past Guest” instead of a specific level. According to both our TA and a rep at NCL, our children will have their past cruise history start showing up in their profile AFTER we complete our upcoming cruise since it will be their first NCL cruise since turning 18. Since I’ve heard that from multiple people I hope it’s accurate but I’ll let you know what happens after we get back.

I'll be sailing on Getaway in late January on a 12 night itinerary with a group of 10 who like to eat together. Whenever I've sailed with this many people before I make reservations online in MyNCL for each night we plan to eat in one of the MDRs and never need to wait. I've seen in the Freestyle Dailies posted in a few recent live reviews that usually just one of the Taste/Savor restaurants are open for dinner along with the Tropicana Room. Since I'm cruising on a longer itinerary during the low season right after the holidays I'd assume it's possible I'll experience this. If I make a reservation for an MDR that ends up not being open each night, is it safe to assume that my reservation will be transferred to whichever one is open? While it's not the end of the world if the reservation is dropped and we need to wait a few minutes each night, I'm a planner and like to have everything set in advance. I appreciate any insights you all can provide!
