Nope. That is not even available onboard. 

It's available onboard >> I've been able to get all 14 MDR dinner menus & which night they will be served.

Ask the hotel manager or the executive chef -->in person (at Meet&Greet is a good opportunity).  Delivered within less than 12 hours to our cabin. 

For planning/editing Specialty resv as CanadaGirl inquires.

Thank you for understanding my mistake. 

Yeah, RedWing understands the difference between a mistake and calling you out for a lie.

Your original post indicates that you spoke with AT LEAST three different NCL reps over an extended period of time.  Do you assert that they knowingly, as a group, intentionally gave you incorrect information?

Or is it possible someone made a mistake?  Furthermore, is it possible that someone was you?

More than once I've had success asking Hotel Director to send ALL upcoming MDR menus to my cabin, explaining exactly this dilemma>>> rescheduling my Specialty nights in favor of MDR menus which we prefer.

Just a thought...what happens if you don't get the upgrade then Vibe is sold out?

Yup, thought of that. Possible

That's why I'd like input from you guys.  Pretty sure Vibe sells out before bid accepted/rejected.

I like to be aboard at least 45 minutes prior to pushback,

top deck, w/ beverage in hand so I can watch

These Guys

DON'T BE THEM !!!

15 day caribbean from NY, Getaway, Nov 2023.  Angled Balcony.

Weighing upgrade bid to Haven variants (we've never been, Min = $600pp)

vs.

Vibe @ $290pp

Only 1 new port of 10 for us, so we may stay aboard more frequently than in the past.

I've scoured Vibe threads and Haven threads.

Thoughts on comparisons for those who have done both?

" I'm gonna bid it ALL, Trebek! "

What I do know, I seem to always get a little better service once a bartender sees me coming to order if I've tipped them with some cash.

Yep.  That's not why I tip $$, but attentive service is a noticeable benefit.

  Only once did I have a server tell me they couldn't add the pastrami to my burger, which was silly.  I just ordered a burger and a reuben, then took the pastrami off myself and put it on the burger

Jack Nicholson sympathizes with your frustration.

No, don't resist.

Let 'er rip  ==  Low hanging fruit.

"Partial in, then out?" >>>> Please. 

We need MORE than one poster responding.

Fool me once, shame on you.

Fool me twice.....

(or three times, or four >>> when do I cease being an idiot hoping NCL learns how to do wings?).

....shame on me.

The only winning move is, not to play.

How about a nice game of chess?

Not food packages, but,,,,,

I've READ (not attempted,  although I will on next cruise in Nov 23)

You can purchase/prepay by CC --> NCL excursions, then...

once aboard, Cxl (for CC refund) and rebook excursion using OBC.

Effectively 'Holding your place' on the excursion.

Never READ anything comparable for meal packages.

We've never opened/consumed. 

100% left behind, so cannot approve or criticize. 

Previous trips on Dawn, we've been able to "coat-check" our carry-ons in the Bliss Lounge w/matching tix for claiming after staterooms become available.  Very convenient.

You might also contact your friends so >> they don't misinform others about "room cleaning service" the way they misinformed you.

It's a one-time deal per cruise.

If the price drops further after you've been granted a FCC, there's no additional adjustment..

This brings to mind the quandary at a land-based restaurant...

Awesome EXEMPLARY service, horrible NASTY meal.

Stiff the server to make a point that the meal was so terrible?

Great food, terrible service.....

Walk back into the kitchen to tip the cooking staff separately?

There has always been a metal tray in our cabin on the desk, holding plastic cups, some utensils, etc.  I've been able to have the steward bring me a second one.

Use it in my role as cabana boy for DW early A.M. >> coffees, danish, muffins, fruit.

we do 20. 10 per bag

$10 per ???

I'll pull your bag to the cart AND give your wife a quick backrub.

Wow.  Am I wicked cheap??

We've seen so many threads @ $2/bag  or in that ballpark-- +/- based on weight and size.

Seated in the back of Cagney's (AFT) for our 6:15 pm reservation, ship's speed at 20 knots, definitely feel the engine vibrations.

 

Have seen this reported elsewhere.

Would you characterize Vibrations .....

....Annoying/un-ignorable << or >> Background/soothing

(or a more accurate description of your choosing).

Visiting Bonaire without diving/snorkeling is like visiting Hilton Head without golfing.

You can have fun at either location doing other things, but each is renowned for one particular activity.
