Better than last year? I thought the ones last year were amazing. I enjoyed them much better than the ones on the Epic in March. Hoping for another great foursome next year when we are on the Joy again.

Which is what I said in my above post

We have two cruises booked for 2025 and they are not available for both. I do check every few days. We will cancel one of them, the Viva, if we cannot get them before final payment. We have a backup plan in place, which we are excited about, so we will not be disappointed. The other one is an Alaskan cruise on the Encore so I am not too worried about availability for that cruise.

Right now they are selling passes up to December 31, 2024.

There is no room to dance in front of the stage. Unless, the passengers who occupy the seats decide to stand up and dance. In the five times we saw the show in the Club, we never had an issue.

Congratulations and thank you for reporting.

Thank you. I will make reservations later today after running it by my husband. Does everyone usually walk if it is a ten minute or so walk or do take cabs or Ubers?

I called to see if NCL still had any availability for the show. They are selling tickets to the 2:15 p.m. show with meeting up at 1:30. This is the show I originally booked directly, but then became concerned we would not arrive on time since the ship docks at 1:00 p.m. So, I cancelled the booking and reserved the 4:00 p.m. After reading your advice and seeing the schedule you posted, I ended up cancelling directly (the money was refunded within hours) and went with the NCLexcursion for the original time I wanted--the earlier show. My thought is that since it is a NCL excursion, we will have a much easier time getting there on time. Then, since the last bus leaves at 6:30 p.m., we still have a few hours on our to explore town.

Does everyone generally walk around downtown to get to their restaurant of choice?

I submitted two requests for 2024 cruises late last Friday afternoon and the OBCs hit our account early the following Monday. I was very happy about the very quick turnaround.

Yes.

On the website or you can call. If you used a TA, call the TA.

Thank you so much for the schedule! If NCL still has availability, I think I will cancel my direct tickets and book with NCL. Your way seems like the better plan and we are also entitled to the Latitudes discount so I will call first thing tomorrow morning.

I get it....... I think NCL should be able to tell you in advance. I would call back and speak with someone else a few times. For our February 11, 2024 Encore sailing, Vibe passes are still available if that helps.

Thank you for this suggestion as we are also staying at the Hilton.

Am I right to think that there will be later shuttles back to Ward Cove if the ship is scheduled to leave at 8:00 p.m.? We have tickets for the show at 4:00 p.m. after arriving at Ward Cove at 1:00 p.m.

Love it when that works out! I did that once last year to go from a Joy non-Haven suite to a Haven Penthouse Suite. Was hoping to upgrade ourselves again, however, this time around, the prices for our upcoming Jewel cruise have not moved down at all. Not at all.

What type of cabin did you upgrade to?

Congratulations! How much was your bid before and after and what is the upgrade to and from? We are on the Jewel two weeks later.

I feel the same way.

Yes, we have applied FCC as a regular payment for a booked cruise as soon as we returned from the cruise in which we received the FCC.

It is a must for us on a ship that has a Vibe. Even if we are in the Haven.

I do know that two upgrades were awarded on the August 28th Jewel cruise. Both went from inside to Oceanview.

A Vibe pass does not come with a cabana, however, a cabana comes with two Vibe passes. If you reserve a cabana, a specific one is assigned to you and no one is allowed to utilize it.

I believe I know who your significant other is and think you both will have a great time.
