The coupons look the same for all the LATs and are good for any restaurant. Ive always gone to the Teppanyaki at least once for B2B cruises.

Theres a shuttle bus from the station to the ship It costs 6 Euros. In 2023 the train cost 4.25 Euros one way for seniors. About $5.

We just got off the Gem a month ago. I dont remember which restaurant we were about to go to but when I got a voucher out of the safe where I keep them under lock and key, I noticed it listed 2 actual spots and not the one we were about to eat at. I decided to just give the manager the voucher and see what would happen. The manager accepted the voucher and there was no problem. We had another voucher printed the same and was able to use that one also at another restaurant. I think the ships are just using up the older vouchers.

Plus Teppanyaki.

The last time we took a TA which ended in the Caribbean area instead of NYC we went from Barcelona to New Orleans in November. The crossing was like a mill pond and the weather was great. We had 6 sea days from the Canaries to Grand Turk, but we were used to TAs. We were on our balcony every day. The price is right for your cruise. Even a balcony wont cost too much. We were actually tempted to do these 2 cruises on the Joy. Miami to Southhampton on Jan 11 for 11 days and then back on Feb 13. We could have travelled around the UK for those 3 weeks in between.

That's another cruise line, not NCL

Depends. We have had nonrefundable OBC roll over to the next cruise when doing B2B You can spend it on tips at the bars or specialty restaurants or for any type of services at the spa.

We received an Email yesterday with the new expiration date 12/31/2099 for all of our Cruise Next coupons that we purchased weeks ago.

Today, Saturday, November 11th, the Gem leaves Athens for Alexandria, Larnara and Limassol, Cyprus, Alayna, Turkey, Heraklion, Crete, Rhodes, Kusadasi and Istanbul, Turkey

Is it still 14 days prior and 16 days for Diamonds and Platinums ? it used to be right after the final payment was paid. Those extra 2 days are important for the D/P They get all the early checking times.

In April/May on the Epic we couldnt but since then on another ship we could.

We just did check in last week and we didnt need to do the photo thingy at all. Theres been a recent change to that dumb frustrating part. Yahoo. Just go to the next item (8) after you do everything but the photo.

Usually the cabin steward will hand me his/her card. That way I have his/her full name for a Hero Card. Other staff have a name tag. its up to the passenger whether or not they want to fill out a hero card or do the survey etc. Theres usually a box at one the end of Guest Services counter for the Hero Cards.

Unfortunately the parts that are unsafe are the parts that are POC, Alexandria and Istanbul.

The Israeli Embassy in Cyprus was bombed. Cyprus is one of the POC for the Gem in fact NCL gave us a 2nd port there to replace Israel. Now what ? Cyprus is in 2 parts. The south belongs to Greece, the north to Turkey.

Book for 4 and book Teppanyaki and Moderna first. The rest are al a carte. They'll know when you go to the restaurant with your coupon or just your key card Dont worry about the website when you book as far as which is which. the coupons for your Lat will be in your cabin when you arrive or shortly thereafter. One with a bottle of wine and one without. FAS doesnt have the wine. As far as how many appetizers etc you receive, I think that depends on the ship.

A couple of days ago I went ahead and called NCL shorex and cancelled our Israel shorex and the credit showed up on my card later that day.

Yesterday we got Emails with the new itineraries for the Gem Nov 11th and 22nd. They added Crete, Limassol, Cyprus and another day in Alexandria instead of Port Said Our accounts in the NCL website have not been updated as yet.

Yes In May we were going by train from Bari, Italy to Venice. That morning we found all the trips north were cancelled because of the rain and flooded rails. Right there at the station we were immediately given back all our funds we paid for the trips. Money in Euros. (Luckily, we were able to fly to Venice that same day for just a bit more than the train cost.)

No your cabin steward will move your luggage straight from your old cabin to your new cabin when the new cabin is ready. Just make sure you tag everything with the NEW cabin number

How were you notified ? We havent had anything as yet. So now we have 2 ports in Cyprus and a Greek Island.

Athens on Nov 11th and then goes back to Istanbul arriving there on Nov 22nd. The cruises for Nov 1st, 11th, and 22nd are full of Israel, Egypt and Turkey. NCL is still working on alternative ports etc. We're on the Nov 11th and 22nd cruises.

Are those shorex still available ? I just checked ours for our Nov cruises on the Gem. All our shorex are still there for Israel, Egypt, Turkey Nothing missing.

Is that the one where the terrorists threw that poor American man in a wheelchair into the sea because he was a Jew? I remember hearing about that horror.

Exactly. When I called NCL this morning the agent actually admitted that our Nov Gem cruises could be cancelled. We were supposed to go to Israel, Egypt and Turkey for 7 of our POC. The cruises will be so gutted that unless they can find other ports, we will be wandering around the Med for days.
