guest service is open 24/7 so remove/change the DSC when you wish, if you’re off the ship for the majority of port time then you’ll likely always encounter long lines as everyone will be on board, as others have said no hoops to go through just a form they will fill out and you’ll sign to confirm, the reduction/removal will appear on your account normally the following day tipping is a touchy subject on this board and some posters will take a instant dislike to anyone who mentions altering the DSC

No need to do this as some posters on this site believe there’s a list printed “somewhere” with room numbers who have altered the DSC. if people believe this rubbish then just remove/alter the DSC on the last night so service isn’t effected, although I’ve never notice a change in the service I’ve received

So no white/glow party on this trip wonder why this was the case, I did notice a lot of people wearing white during the 90s dance party

You also have the option of starting in South Korea or Taiwan and end up in Tokyo, we are leaving from Taipei in Feb 24 and then spending a few days in Tokyo after leaving the ship i would also echo what others have said and book flights yourself so you have full control of them

Just ignore any letters and block any numbers from the debt company, it won’t go on your credit file as it wasn’t any form of credit. I can’t believe they have sold the debt tho, if your deposit was £200 they would of sold it for around £50 😂

no charge on soft drinks from the bars/restaurants, I don’t drink Starbucks so can’t confirm if charged from them

You can’t reclaim VAT on consumables, I asked while onboard and also once I returned from a recent sailing

I sailed on Epic in July from Barcelona and was charged VAT on all alcohol drinks throughout the 9day cruise even when in France & Italy, total ‘extra’ bill was about $110 for the both of us. I take from the article if the sailing starts in Spain you will be charged throughout your journey if it starts elsewhere you will only be charged while in Spanish waters. Also we was also only charged on alcohol and not and specialty meals

I was recently on the epic out of Barcelona which also had people starting/ending in Rome, I spoke to some of these people who said they was also being charged. As others have said it could be the NCL system can’t distinguish who joined where but this seems unrealistic

I also got charged in Italy, France and during day at sea, it could be down to embarkation port

Each and every drink throughout the cruise, we had stops in Palma and Ibiza along with starting and ending in Barcelona, rest of the stops was in France and Italy

I was on the epic 21/7 - 30/7, starting in Barcelona and staying in the EU and was charged for each drink, out bar bill was $103.95 for the 9 days we also received an onboard credit but it was for $14.80 X2, this was the same for everyone within our group (10 people) I didn’t query this as you all know the lines for guest services 😁

NCL just tweeted that these are real and will be on board from August, 9 ships 9 mug

Wasn’t this topic about added tax for uk travellers and now we’re comparing cruise prices
