You can also buy a combo ticket for all three. Takes you to the Guinness facility, a whiskey distillery, the Royal Yacht Britannia, etc. Main stop is on Waverly Bridge by the central rail station.

I think you may be mixing your cities  and countries up, I am pretty certain that the Royal Yacht, Waverly Bridge and central station are all in Edinburgh, Scotland and not Dublin, Ireland  

Thank you, Its good to know that the cafe has better coffee and pastries 

Hello 

I am new to Celebrity and will be shortly sailing on the reflection, Does anyone know what type of coffee is available to order in the MDR at breakfast times, I don't like filter coffee and would like to be able to have a Cappuccino or Latte  with a pastry after my hot food. I have the the drinks package and I am assuming if these coffees are available to order the will be covered by the package 

Thanks

Hello 

I am just wondering if anyone has copies of Reflections MDR Breakfast and lunch menus

Also may I ask if the MDR is open for lunch on disembarkation day. Someone told me it only opens for lunch on sea days

Thanks 

Hello

I am just wondering if anyone can advise on what beers are covered under the bar and restaurant unlimited drink package.

From what I can find online it seems that Heineken is the only bottled beer covered, but I am interested in knowing what draught beers are included

Thanks

Just an update, I called and was told if I cancel I loose the my cruise next certificate, but I can transfer it any time before my pay in full date to a new booking provided the new booking is a couple of dollars more.

I have looked at the T&CS and can't see any mention of this rule. Has anyone experienced this.

I never asked but I was wondering if it's possible to move a cruise next cert more than once because I can't see any cruise I want to transfer it to right now

Thanks

Thanks everyone, I am based in Ireland and fall under the European booking conditions, so cancelling without loosing a deposit is not an option, but it does look like that is not applicable to cruise next certificates.

I guess all I can do is ask if it can be applied to my 2018 and hope that say yes, even though the T&C's state new cruise bookings

Hello

I have a couple of cruises booked at the moment, one is in October of this year and that other is not until November 2018.

The first one is booked with a cruise next certificate and I may have to cancel this cruise due to the ill health of a close family member. Does any one know if the cruise next voucher can be moved onto the other cruise that is booked. I paid cash for the deposit on that one. I don't mind having extra money on the one cruise

Thanks

I really hope that this is the same Fernando that used to work on the Epic back in 2015. Do you recall if he is a young Spanish guy in his mid 30's, slim build and very colorful

 

My family adored him, especially my children, he always had time for them and there was something really genuine and sincere about him. Such warm and welcoming person that was always happy and smiling.

 

We are due to sail in the Spirit in October so I am really hoping its the same guy and that he will still be on board for that cruise

Ok its starting to look like there is not a major difference in the Stg prices, but I would love to see if anyone else is getting the silly price differences with Euro bookings made through the Irish website

When did you originally book those cruises?

 

Both of my cruises for this year are currently about £2,000 more than I booked them for, but most of that increase happened months ago.

Mediterranean cruise for October 2017 was booked the end of December last year and I just booked the EpicTransatlantic for November 2018 about 3 weeks ago

I have just done some comparisons on the Irish site for two of the cruises I have currently booked, all prices are for 2 adults and 2 children, in the same category rooms as original bookings

First cruise - 11 night med cruise on the Spirit October 2017

€4105 - Includes DSC & soda packages for the kids, UBP x 2

€5596 - Inclusive rate

€1491 more expensive :mad:

Epic Transatlantic November 2018

€4078 - Includes DSC & soda packages for the kids, UBP x 2 + 4 SDP meals x 2

€5216 - Inclusive rate - No SPD meals

€1138 More expensive

These changes in prices are scary, There is no way that a couple of bottles of water a day and a few coffees could constitute me paying the new pricing. NCL is going to kiss a lot of families good bye

I was accommodated in all of the speciality restaurants that I ate in and I wasn't required to pre order what I wanted either.

You can even request gf bread and muffins at the buffet but sometimes they take a while to fetch them

I require a gf diet and have had no issues whilst sailing withNCL. Like Disney they prefer for you to order the night before for the next day.

There is one server dedicated to special meal requests and they will be responsible for taking your orders and ensuring that you are being looked after. You just tell them your room number when you are seated and everyone else is ordering and your food will be fetched from a separate kitchen area.

You can order breakfast and lunch the night before as well. But it's something I never bothered with and was always accommodated when I arrived in the MDRs

Forgot to add that I. Never had to give them a time that I wished to dine for the following day. The purpose of advanced ordering is to make the kitchen aware of what they have to prepare the next day and that they have the ingredients to hand. So it does work with freestyle dining. You can eat when you want

Hope this helps

My wife asked for it and received it several times on the Epics last transatlantic cruise. Sometimes it took a while for it to arrive so it might be an idea to ask for it when placing the order and to remind them about it when the serve your starter.

My wife reckons that it was made up freshly from mustard powder and that can sometimes pack more of a punch than the jars of Colmans

Does anyone know how accessible the pathways are at the top of the cable car and towards the center of Fira

My Mother in law is traveling with us and she has difficulties walking up a lot of steps or step paths

Thanks

Very odd. We sailed at end of October and no charge. I wouldn't pay for anything I hadn't signed for.

We also sailed the end of October on the Epics Transatlantic from Barcelona and had no tax added or charged to any drinks ordered under the UBP

Hi everyone

During me last cruise I purchased some cruise next certificates. However since I have come home and logged into MY NCL I am not able to see these certificates

Can anyone advise on where I should be able to view them

Thanks

Thanks everyone

Maybe I just kept on missing it being open the last time I sailed, I will search for some freetstyle dailies to whats been happening lately

Sailing on the Epic in a couple of weeks time and wondering if anyone who has sailed on her lately can confirm if they have been serving food in the Spice h20 area. During our cruise on the EPIC last November the food area in this section was never open

Thanks

Hello,

 

I just got off the Getaway 2 weeks ago, I asked at every bar I went to but was told they didn't have it. Finally the bartender at Mixx told me that Appleton was taken off of every ship. Appleton is my rum of choice, I was really hoping to enjoy it throughout the week.

Thank you for the reply, so it looks like my suspicions were correct. It such a shame because like you it was my rum of choice when I sailed on NCL. I am from Ireland and its a Rum that is not normally found in bars here so I enjoyed the treat of having it while cruising

Hello

Can anyone confirm if Appleton Rum is still available on NCL ships, in particular the Epic.

I have taken a look at some of the updated drinks menus from some of the other ships and can't see it listed

Thanks

Lachelli

Does anyone have a link to the new al a crate menus for the Epics MDR, I haven't sailed on her since they changed

Thanks

Thanks much!

 

For anyone else looking... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showpost.php?p=50671317&postcount=12

Am I imagining it or is the Appleton Rum gone from the menu ?

. Some of the items he ate were - gluten free bread, muffins, English muffins, waffles French toast, pancakes, eggs, omelets, bacon and sausages. Lunch was hamburgers with gluten free buns, gluten free pizza, French fries that were prepared in clean oil, salmon, ribs with special gluten free barbecue sauce, fried calamari which by the way was his favorite - he had it every night lol! He didn't have to order a Gluten free version of what was on the menu - he ordered whatever he wanted when he wanted - again we would sometimes have to wait 30 minutes or so extra well worth the wait. We would meet with one of the chefs at every meal. He had such a good time on vacation he cried when getting off the ship. I asked him why he was crying and he said because the food was so good and he didn't get sick! Sorry for the long winded message. A word of advice pack some gluten free snacks from home so when you get off the ship you have something safe to munch on! Also I was able to check the ingredients on the soft serve ice cream - as long as it hasn't changed it is safe.

Thank you so much, this is exactly what I was after as it allows others to see that you can ask food to be made for you and not just adapted, it also shows that they carry a good range of Gluten free products such as pizza and burger buns, Muffins and breads

I think the more that we see others being successful in getting these items the easier it gets in asking for them as we are not asking the staff to chase down something for us that is not on board
