Cool Cruiser

Cool Cruiser (2/15)

  1. I'm going on the Escape this Sunday and will try my luck. I always book the angled balcony in the hopes I can get a lounger from my steward. I've always been lucky by leaving a $20 and a note asking for one, but that was pre-COVID. We'll see!
  2. I HATED that about cruising with Carnival. Also, couldn't order a shot n a beer, because you had to wait at least 5 minutes between ordering the first drink to get a second one.
  3. Yep, you got it. We ask the staff to take them out on day one so we have space for drinks/leftovers.
  4. I asked about this but they said this specific type of flight that NCL booked was unable to be taken over. I mentioned pretty much everything on this board, and the gals I spoke to wanted to help, but basically it came down to: this ticket is "locked".
  5. When we get on the ship, we ask our room steward to empty our mini fridge and leave a few bucks as a courtesy. My husband and I usually take advantage of being able to order two beers at a time w/NCL's drink package. We'll enjoy one and take the other (unopened) one to the room. Do this a few times and you've got a nice lil stash of beers for when you're feeling lazy and don't want to leave the room.
  6. I called and spoke to two different Delta agents. They said they're unable to change the flights, even for a fee. Something to do with the contract they have with NCL, which basically locks them in at their discounted rate. I gave up.
  7. The flight there is okay, though I'd like to get there the day before. And because life happened, I called NCL too late for them to move it for me for a charge. The flight back, though, is the real kicker. It leaves Miami at 8pm, has a layover in Atlanta and doesn't get to my destination until 1am. Knowing we get kicked off the ship by 9am and are gonna have four pieces of luggage with us for a long time at the airport just really sucks. Again, this is something I knew could happen when I booked FAS, but not something that's ever happened in the many flights I'd gotten through NCL before. These flights cost me $518 versus the $1000+ I'd be spending had I booked myself. So, it's a trade off.
  8. We're booked with Delta. I'll check their flights and try giving them a call. Changing the flight online wasn't an option (that was the first thing I tried!)
  9. Thanks so much! I'm looking forward to seven days in paradise 8-)
  10. This is the info I am interested in knowing. I'm not worried about the money I already spent, I just don't want to be screwed over somehow and owe additional OR screw up a new fight. Thanks.
  11. Is the cancellation fee simply a forfeiture of what I paid? Or is there an additional fee?
  12. Would NCL "penalize" us if we book our own flights because the ones booked for us are terrible? My cruise leaves next month and our flights there and back are awful (no comments on booking flights thru NCL, I knew what I was getting myself into.) My question is this... can I be penalized if I DON'T take the flights they booked for me? Would they charge me something, cancel my transfers, etc? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!
