Oh, for the love of Cookies! Say it ain't so...
IrieBajan54 replied to Birdnutty's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Talking to another solo cruiser, she called the general manager's number and asked where were the cookies? She was told that the cookie monster ate them. Really! Executive Management on the ship leaves a lot to be desired. Anyway, enjoyed yesterday and today in Cape Verde, first visit here! -

No cookies today ... four trays of pound cake available. Oh well, I am tired asking ... it's unsatisfactory service. -

Those certainly look like Chips Ahoy! Left in the oven too long (dried out) or several days stale. NCL is playing footsie with the cookies on the Viva. There was a whole lot of pound cake as usual. So I was in the Studio Lounge about 2 hours ago when the waiter came in to freshen things up. ... so I asked where are the cookies? She said she would have to go ask her boss. She came back with a tray (chocolate chip, oatmeal & raisin, and macadamia nut). Soft and fresh! -

I normally eat regular chocolate chip and sometimes white chocolate chip. On rear situations where the cookie 🍪 is not soft, I simply sit it on top of a cup of hot tea and about 30 to 45 seconds it's nice and gooey. In reference to your comparison, there is no "better" because it's a whole lot of sugar, period. Both will give the body a sugar rush. -

Currently on the Viva transatlantic. No cookies available anywhere on the ship and only starting today (Day 6) in the Studio Lounge. It is obvious that executive management relented after many, many complaints from Solos (and rightfully so because it's an expected amenity). However, based on both the restaurant manager and the assistant restaurant manager, cookies have been discontinued in the Studio Lounge. (That's from the horse's mouth at least on this ship) So it is death by pound cake everyday 👎 for those who are willing to eat it (Not me!). NCL knows Solos will eat cookies but providing pound cake is better for costs reduction. -
Maybe more debt is better. Plus all of the cutbacks must be working for NCL. Currently on the Viva 19 day transatlantic and as of Day 3 there have been no cookies in the Studio Lounge. So a normal amenity for the premium paid to be in the Studios is gone. All for our convenience of course.🤔 Maybe NCL has this Nanny idea that pound cake (from about 11:30 a.m. until evening) is less fattening than cookies. 😂

Reducing OSC, gratuities or similar charges

Ditto! Never let a stranger on the Internet tell you how to spend or giveaway your money. Bleeding hearts can do whatever they want with theirs. -

Agree! Another good thing about European service is that there is no need to bribe (advanced Euros) for doing the job they were hired to do. -

Oh well, until people stop booking, NCL will continue this farce. -

Well, it should be! Back in January, I posted on Solo Bargain Board that Epic had a fire sale. Insides could be had for as low as $399.
