You can book specialty restaurants at 120 days out. 125 days for platinum or higher.

And they will come up with no charge? 

If I have the two free meals at the specialty restaurants, can I book my reservations ahead of time or need to wait to board? Mine will be opening up soon 

We are booked on this cruise too but might make it on to a Bermuda sailing in June to check out the ship.

Just to clarify, the price of the balcony has to come down to no lower that a penny more than what you booked your OV for.  If it is the same or lower, you can't upgrade.  I was bit by this last fall and had to make the "sacrifice" to upgrade all the way to an aft balcony.😎

I would take that sacrifice in a heart beat but was shocked an aft was even open

There was a recent increase in the daily service charges as well, be rebooking you would get the new rates for that (just a few dollars per cruise though). 🙂

I didn’t think of that but still worth it, the staff deserves the extra pay in my opinion

Yes, as long as you are going UP in category (and price - even if it is only $1,00). I have done it numerous times in the past - purchased a regular upgrade after final payment. Just be aware that you will then get current promotional perks (sometimes different than what you had with your original reservation). 

Perks don’t matter to me other than drinks and I don’t think I’ve seen that one go away. 

Thanks, here is hoping my game plan works. I knew no money would come back but was hoping to move up 🤞

I am booked on a 12 night cruise in an OV cabin. I prefer balconies but it was way out of my price range. Say I paid $1700 a person for the OV and after final payment the prices drop and the balcony comes down to what I paid for the OV, can I upgrade? 

I am in port from 8am to 8pm on my NCL jewel cruise. Any tour companies out there that can work with that to visit Klein Curaçao? 

Can anyone tell me what the current discount is on carnival cruises for the family of a PVP? Do you need to cruise together to get the discount? 

Makes me want to splurge on an aft so I can see everything

I can't speak of which side would be best for a NOLA cruise but to make sure that I am getting the bed placement I prefer, I go to the NCL website and do a mock booking. At the point where you are able to select the stateroom it will tell you the bed placement. If you already have booked a room, you will not be able to select it on the same voyage but you can do mock bookings for other dates on the same ship. If you are booking through a TA they may not show the bed placement information.

 

I never noticed that before in details. Thank you 

Breakaway out of NOLA .. which side of the ship has better views out to sea and how do you tell where the bed is from the deck plans? My available cabins are listed below 

Looking at booking cabin 10942.. good or bad choice?  I’m not sure I want to overlook the public area. 
Is there a group of basic balcony cabins that have limited views of the public decks? 
 

Can you give me an idea of how to make it into Edinburgh from where NCL docks?

Where would you suggest for a fresh seafood meal? 

So it sounds like my best bet is to watch fares once I get closer and have a price in mind and the money at the ready so I can jump on it. 
Don’t rely on NCL for a good deal 

I’ve never been to the UK and have always booked my own airfare. For 2022 I am going to try something different so I booked a British Isles cruise. Does NCL offer an air package to Europe from the US? Is it generally more expensive than booking on your own? Would I still be able to arrive two days early? 

Both are open on the sailing I’m looking at so any advice between the two would be appreciated. 
Thank you 

Am I reading correctly that you can just go to the visitor center and be able to find a 3 to 4 hour taxi tour for around $25 a person? 

I just want to see a few sites and spend a little time at a nice beach with a drink in my hand 

So I will bring a command hook then 👍

Can you please tell me if the cabins doors are metal? I am curious what I need to pack to hang my valentines door sign next week. 

Oh and bring the Bliss back safe and on time 

Four adults need a ride to the port of miami from the Nuvo Suites in Miami

Ant idea on Uber, Lyft, or taxi rates? I’ve never used Uber or Lyft so it’s all new to me

If you are outside of final payment, you can re-book, but you will get whatever perks are being offered at the time you re-book. If you are within the final payment window, you won't be able to re-book for the lower fair. You can try calling your TA or PCC and getting some sort of OBC as compensation for the difference in price, but if you booked under the take all 6 promo and they are back down to offering fewer perks, then they likely won't accommodate you. 

I honestly don’t care about excursion money, WiFi, or airfare. I would rather have a lower price. I have a year to see what happens. Thank you 

If you booked with this promotion and your cabin price drops (a girl can dream) do you lose all the perks to get the lower price if the offer changes? 

I figured it would be quicker to ask here. Does NCL offer a horseback ride excursion? Cost and length? My options have not loaded yet and I’m trying to get ideas to use up my credit
