  1. We just got a refund each of 208 bucks

    no idea what  for as it doesn’t line up with anything we have paid previously 

    ( eg.  Prepaid tips or taxes  etc) 

    mer already have our pre paid dining and shorex back ..

    i have nothing in my booking for that weird amount?

     

    just want back the ten grand we are waiting on

    ....it better not be only 416 dollars 

     

    ( our 10000 is for 2 people ,14 day cruise, in a Haven spa suite)

  2. I find it all totally exasperating 😷

    Having had to cancel everything else or had it cancelled for me( airline) and our country has basically forbidden air travel till end of June.

    Ncl owes me 10 grand which I want back in cold hard cash back to my credit card

    ... they took it by a click on the screen

    they can do the same in return

    hsving to beg for it back is just bad business 

    fcc is no good to me now with all of the shut downs. In business and subsequent living off our savings

    they just keep pushing it a few days. And then a few more.  Grrrrrr

    Just cancel all cruises Ncl up to at least August

     

    otherwise the world will be much sicker than it is now

    Sorry Meant to say 15th.   

    thats our actual cruise date and Ncl has 35 days on my page. 

    31 days in May. 

    So the 15th to me is pretty well mid May

    maybe you have had too many pints

  4. Awesome idea haolenate !!

     

    so much easier to keep everything in one place than trying to find posts here as vinotinto suggested

    ( I make spreadsheets for a cruise for the same reason.  Keep it All in one place 

     

    you just need to keep adding the link for the same reason to stop the need to trying to find it)

     

    our cruise is May 15

    so I also agree with vinotinto that it should be cancelled cruises on the sheet

     

    we have cancelled everything ...but the cruise ...as we’re waiting in hope that Ncl cancelled it before the need for us to do fcc

    So I will add our details later

    Yes, the facts are not yet understood.  So in the meantime thoughts and prayers and let RCI get it's damage control plan into place and come up with a rational explanation why passengers went on their excursion when the alert level had increased the month before.  At some point they will have to answer two important questions:  What did they know and when did they now it?   

    I was there 2 weeks ago

    We had booked it as basic tourists.  not on a cruise

    but they decided to cancel the boat that takes us because the seas were too rough.  and they were..

    THERE WERE NO ACTIVITY ALERT warnings about the volcano at all

    and that was in official the White Island Tourist information Office.

  6. as of 3 mins ago

     

    * Five confirmed dead, eight missing, 31 in hospital after White Island volcano erupts twice 
    • There were 47 people in total on the island, 38 of them were from the cruise ship Ovation of the Seas
    • Thirty-four injured people and five bodies were taken off the island by heroic rescuers in the face of extreme danger, says PM
    • Police say there are no further signs of life on the island, following flyovers late on Monday
    • Many of the victims are tourists from Australia, the UK, China, Malaysia and the US

    For our American friends,  I have to say that Heathrow,  despite its reputation,  is far more used to dealing with foreign travellers than most US airports.  No, it is not perfect,  but it understands and tries to simplify the processing of transit passengers much more than any American airport  that I have ever used. 

    amen to that!

    14 times to the States for us from Oz

    and no way we want to go back!

    in April it took us 3 hrs to get from the plane to having our passports stamped..

    this was in San Fran.coming from Australia  and then again in JFK coming from Amsterdam

    and the time included the machine that scans your passport

    but why bother using that machine ?? it doesnt speed up any of the process....

    if you still have to “ see the guy behind the glass “ at the end of the snake queue

  8. Thank you John Bull... good answer.

    We had already booked and paid for the Holiday Inn because it has a “walkable” gate area that opens on cruise days.

    We are hiring a car from Heathrow 2 days prior to the cruise and driving down and staying 2 nts but the car hire place wants the exact port to give their drop off point on the website.  

    That was my main reason for trying to get the exact port

    I was hoping it would be 101.  the City Cruise Terminal because we can take it to their depot first then return to hotel.  grab our luggage and walk to the Ship area

    so will put that on our booking 

    lets hope its the right one !!.

    When we've used NCL, it's been 101, City, or 38/39, QE11

    Looking at "Cruise Ship Schedule" for 2019, those are the 2 docks still being used for NCL and other non-Carnival owned ships. The last one mentioned for this year is NCL Encore on Nov 2nd, which is City.

    I think the port prefers ships to be at City, but there's more and more ships docking each year, so 38/39 is used at busy times- or so it seems to me. 🙂

     

    thanks.  have looked up all schedules but cant find one for May 2020

  10. does anyone here know which exact Southampton port is used for NCL Escape?

    I am hoping its the City Cruise Terminal but our docs just say Southampton

    I want to rent a car  and drop it off but need the port info to know where to drop the rental car

    .. 4 ports in a 2 mile strip is confusing...

    If you are committed past the point of no return (beyond final payment & cancellation) - go see it, exercise common sense, and, this is one of those times, where I would look into using cruiseline tours & take their chartered buses or motorcoaches to sightsee and get around.  It will be "safer" and definitely more convenient. 

    No good for those that might have to fly into Hong Kong this week to start a cruise( or fly out)

    Australia has cancelled all flights to HK from today so too bad if you were planning on arriving there this week to start your cruise

    The ships will still depart....  you just can’t get there to board it!

    Hi. Been a while. Just thought I'd give you a heads up to my latest foray into (for me) uncharted territory!

     

    Diamond plus! Ocean view room that was very cheaply upgraded from an inside. Prebooked My Time Dining. All sorts of onboard CC activities including Chef's Table with a group. I'm Gluten Intolerant but last time I did the Table did not enjoy the experience so will risk side effects for the momentary pleasure!!

     

    The story so far. Solo traveller. In my prime (!) First short haul flight delayed for two hours. Fog. Original long haul left without me so am ensconced in the BA lounge for a few hours. Over 11 hours to fly to LA. 

     

    We've had a super roll call. @PCWalton1, Bill, will also be going live so you'll get quite a different perspective on things. I've one excursion booked with RCL, organised a group myself for one port of call, and joining other independent groups elsewhere.

     

    I've pretty much got my head around the new CC site. I think.

     

    Have some pics to be getting on with.
