Thanks everyone for your input, really want to visit Ephesus and fingers crossed NCL organise some coaches/guides and if not I will contact Ephesus shuttle and I have no interest in visiting a rug factory!

Hello, would love to visit Ephesus but such a short time in port and no tours on the app with NCL. Anyone here had a similar short port stop & were you able to get there? After all the noise about the non NCL tour issues in Africa has made me wary of going alone

Ok just called and as you advised Keith, it is 2 separate entries so just paid £800 towards the balance, still a lot more to pay but every saving helps!

I am thinking of booking vibe passes & excursions that will be over £750 and I think this would work for £200 bonus am I right?? I missed the previous offer so got an Amex card so I am delighted! I could just pay part of my balance but think this could be a good way to utilise this offer

Thanks Keith, think I will book 4 speciality meals and pay out of pocket for Q Texas Smokehouse

Hello, I will be on a 10 night Bermuda, Bahamas cruise in august and I have 2 free speciality dinners included with my booking. I will be buying the 2 additional dinners for £59 each but I was wondering could I buy this twice so I could go to 6 restaurants? Is this possible? There is plenty restaurants I can go to and have always enjoyed any of the NCL paid for restaurants. Thanks 🙏

I am based in UK, got 2 cruises to be paid in June and not an Amex customer. But from reading this thread I can apply for card plus companion card and then pay £1k each towards my cruise before the cut off date and save £700 in total?? I have to get better at looking for deals as that is a big saving!! Can someone confirm I am right please thanks

Thanks sailing12away, would love to hear from anyone who has used Vibe is it mega busy (was mentioned on this review could not use hot tub)?

Doing my research for a 10 day cruise on the Joy in Aug 23 - vibe pass is available to be purchased now, but the price of $259 pp (we are 4 adults) is pretty steep. Would love to hear thoughts on how busy vibe is as I would hate to pay so much and not get a sunbed or get access to the hot tub!!!

I read your excellent review and helped me seal the deal on this ship - just need to make up my mind regarding cabins! Thinking as I have only stayed on a regular balcony to maybe try aft facing but a few comments putting me off due to noise - maybe take earplugs!!

I have been speaking to an NCL agent, but I am getting more info reading cruise critic!!

Hello, I am looking at a 10 day cruise leaving NY in august 23 and am going round in circles with cabin choices!! Can’t afford Haven, but need 2 cabins one balcony and one inside very close or maybe 2 balcony as not much difference in cost? Got option of large balcony and inside on 8th floor but near the front which I was not keen on due to seasickness issues and then 2 balcony on 9th floor but concerned about noise as restaurants etc on 8th. Also looked at aft cabins but seems to be noise issues. Any Joy experts who can guide me?? Thanks
