When I went into a reservation to add a cruise next to an existing reservation, under my cruise next there is a “Your Welcome Back $100 off Coupon”. Says I have to use by March 25, 2024, and travel by January 2026. I do not see it under My NCL, only when I go to make a payment. Anyone else have this?

We are disembarking in Southampton on a Sunday and are staying in London near the Waterloo station that night. Do I need to purchase train tickets ahead of time? I am looking at the direct Southampton to Waterloo on Southwestern Railway that leaves every half hour. Thanks!

I am cruising with my mom who is gold and my son who is still considered a child. I am platinum. We are at 125 days and the app is telling me I can’t make reservations for 5 more days. My mom made the reservation so her name is first. Does the system go by the first name on the reservation? I really don’t want to call. Ugh

We just got off the Escape. Each night we would go to Tobacco Road which is next to Syd’s and sit with a cocktail and watch for a line to form. Then we would get in line once someone started a line. I think the longest I stood was 15 or 20 minutes. They opened the doors 45 minutes to an hour before the show depending on the rehearsal. After dinner we would find a place to sit with a drink anyway so it may as well be in Syd’s! We also heard the Rock of Ages explanation from an NCL employee who was watching the door while we waited.

Thank you for the response. We are platinum so I know how the NCL website works. We know that we love St Thomas so when cruising the Caribbean I seek out itineraries that include it. I know in Alaska to look for Glacier Bay. This is more what I am asking. Which ports do people not want to miss.

We are considering a cruise for our anniversary in 2025. One itinerary we are interested in is Norway, Finland, or Iceland but we know nothing about the ports to look for. It is my understanding that smaller ships can reach more places but I don’t know what specific ports to look for. I would appreciate any help/suggestions. We are more interested in the ports than the ship. Thanks!

We are currently in an oceanview on the escape. We were told only balcony and above can get coffee makers on request. There was some kind of manager walking around introducing himself and asking if we needed anything. He called housekeeping for us and was told the same.

We leave next weekend on the Escape. I booked kind of last minute so did not get any specialty reservations. You made reservations on embarkation day in Headliners? I had read that you do that in Teppenyaki so I just want to double check. Thanks!

I just booked the Escape for January so of course there are no dining reservations available before 9 pm. Food Republic says “please book onboard” rather than “not available to book” like some of the others. Were you able to pre book Food Republic or did you have to book that once on board. I am planning on getting on as early as possible (we are platinum) and I am hoping at least that restaurant will have some decent options. Le Bistro is my favorite but I’m not counting on reservations being available.

Do you know if the next offer still has the 4 month requirement? Thanks!

I just wish they would drop the 4 month requirement like they did a few months ago. I would book a January cruise today. I have two deposits that are supposed to expire in October 2024 that I have been trying to figure out how to use. Do they really not expire any more?

There is another possibility. When I inquired about a missing cruise for my daughter when she turned 18 and I could see her history it turned out she had 2 latitude accounts for some reason. They merged them for us.

On every cruise I have been on including the Getaway in January if I was in airplane mode on my iPhone and connected to the ship wifi but not logged onto the internet plan I could always receive iMessages only. I imessaged with my kids on the ship and they had no internet package. BUT I was on the 3/12 Encore and in the same situation (iPhone in airplane mode, connected to ship wifi but had not redeemed my internet package yet) and I was reviewing sms text messages from androids. I have a group text with iPhones and androids. On the Getaway I could not see those texts until I was in St Thomas and turned off airplane mode. On the Encore a few weeks ago I was getting them on the ship. I was really surprised and have no idea why it was working.

What company did you use for the catamaran? Thanks!

Thank you for doing this! We will be on for Spring Break and it’s great to have an idea about days and times for shows. Really disappointed to see country music on the pool deck. That just seems weird.
