  1. We always purchase insurance but Not through our cruise line. I use a common site insuremytrip but the last two cruises we just used the policy our TA quoted us. I actually juuuust submitted and received some money due to flight delays two weeks ago. It happened to be an Allianz policy and we got $200 back within 30 hours of my online claim submission. I’m in agreement with many others that it feels reassuring to invest in it even if we don’t need it 9 out of 10 trips!
  2. Agreed with the post above, we also got an additional 5?% off of the then “live cost” of the cruise on website. We also chose to purchase cruise next certificates and get more bang for our buck. We booked our upcoming Caribbean cruise in March on the ship in Greece last June.
  3. We were on the Jade in June and while I can’t recall if the sign said Starbucks or Java cafe it definitely HAD Starbucks drinks and food. The issue we ran into was the fact that for a time NCL wasn’t allowing any drink purchases WHILE in port in Greece only. My cranka$$ self learned this one morning😩😡 I knew zero alcohol “sales” and we were ok to get them because we had package. They were suspending all sales and it made for an unhappy morning-lolol
  4. Hello! I'm hoping to get an idea of the evening show schedule for an upcoming trip. 7 night itinerary MIA-GCS-Sea-St Thomas-Tortola-Puerto Plata-Sea-MIA Figured it was worth checking here to see if anyone has recent ones? TIA and Happy Sails!!😁
  5. Hey there. This is our first trip from US to anywhere that isn’t a Mexico or Caribbean islands. I’d like to bring some Euros from home so I’m not relying on ATM’sin Athens, if possible. I know many places will take credit cards or I’ll be on the ship. But I’ve also read there may be smaller shops, markets etc. where I will need Euros. any suggestions on how much to bring? also-Tipping porters at the ship or my hotel…what’s appropriate amount for Greece? In US, we’d offer 5$/bag and it varies in hotel based on type of stay, if we use maid service etc. I’m trying to plan accordingly for this trip and appreciate your knowledge! thanks.
