CruiseMaven25

With the April cancelations announced, do you think they will extend the final payment due dates from 120 days to 60 days, for cruises sailing after June 30th?  We have a Med cruise on Epic in early July.   Our final payment is due the end of February. My hope is that NCL extends the 60 day peace of mind policy or I’ll have to cancel.  Has anyone heard if they plan to extend past June 30th sailings? 

Just RSVP’d for Pink Agave.  I didn’t see the show option though.  Hope we get to tour the ship as well!

Since they only allow folks in who rented a villa, I would say villa only chairs. You had a special wristband and checked in a second time at the villa concierge building.  

Not sure about number of people, but there are only two lounge chairs.  Plenty on the beach though.  And yes, you can use your credit.  We did! 

We asked the staff and they say there could be future overnight cruises.  

I am currently on the Joy and a Haven guest.  However, I’m not sure if they will be limited to the Haven.  But the area, lagoon and restaurant will be limited to Villa guests. You had check in at the villa desk upon debarkation and be driven to the area where they checked you in. 

Not sure how much the bedroom suites will go for.  I think we paid $400 for the studio but were upgraded for free to the 1 bed lagoon villa.  

Here is a video tour as well from 2 days ago.  We had booked a studio villa and were offered a free upgrade to the 1 bedroom.  So peaceful and great service.  Only 4 villas were in use.  The restaurant is shared by the silver cove and lagoon villas.  It’s a Buffett with the usual suspects.   Although the jumbo shrimp ceviche was an upgrade I imagine.  There was soooo many staff.  All in all a great day.  

Posted a video tour in a different post, but here are some pics.  Enjoy!

Lagoon villas opened last week.  Stunning! 

We didn’t have to pay anything extra.  They just opened and wanted feedback.  Out of the 16 or so villas, only 4 were occupied. 

We are currently sailing on The Joy and rented a villa for our day on Great Stirrup Cay.  When we arrived to our Haven suite, we received an offer for an upgrade to the 1 bedroom lagoon villas.  What a wonderful surprise!  The villas and lagoon area opened last week. Here is a video.  Absolutely stunning and the lagoon is picture perfect for a lazy day.   

So far no itinerary changes for the 10/27 Joy sailing out of Miami.  Our port is stop Puerto Limon, Costa Rica so that makes a difference.  

Thanks all :) didn't mean to start a controversy. But yeah, keep judgements to yourself. I actually love my job.

Lol! Thanks for the actual answer to my question BirdTravels.

Thanks foxie00. We just got off Escape and had a similar experience. We upgraded to the premium and it barely worked. Thinking about canceling out Bliss 15 day cruise because of the internet. Can anyone who cruised recently on the Bliss let us know how it is? Unfortunately I need to work, even on vacation.

Thanks!

Is it possible for my husband and I to have our own internet package? It’s inconvenient to have to log each other out every time one of us wants to get online. Also, we will have platinum benefits, plus free at sea. Is it safe to assume one would be able to upgrade and the other would have to pay for a full package. Can the haven concierge help? Thanks all. Just off RCL and Voom internet was included.

We reserved a Twizzy for our full day. Looking forward to going at our own pace and was a bit apprehensive of the scooters. Will see how it goes!

Would love to see the dailies as I'll be making dinner reservations for our upcoming trip! Thanks!

We are arriving in Rome three days early to enjoy the Eternal City. Our flight back from Rome is early afternoon so I'm hoping we can leave the ship around 11AM with no worries. Thanks all!

Great tip regrading the muster drill. :)

Hello All! My husband and I will be sailing on Epic embarking in Rome and it's our first time not starting at the origination port. Is it going to be very strange joining mid-cruise? The welcome aboard show will be a few days in. I imagine embarkation and debarkation crowds will be light. Does anyone know what time we can board in Rome? Any insight for those who have done this before will be greatly appreciated!

I have really been struggling to figure out how so many have such blind faith and love for a company no matter what they do. I think I may have come up with one that kinda makes sense.

 

I think the RA RA"S see Rccl like a sports franchise . The ships are the players.

Most love the "star players' but others love the underrated hard working type that have been with the team for a long time.

The RR"S always show up to games no matter how much the ticket prices or beers go up.

They buy all the over priced merchandise.

No matter how many times they are let down by the franchise they still love and defend them( to friends enemies, message boards) .

No matter how many "mistakes" the "players" make they always welcome them back....

 

As a sports fan I can actually relate to this.

Totally makes sense!!
