On OBC--I think the Starbucks was a No for the stockholder OBC. The list from the Haven concierge advising us on what we can not use it on was rather "unfortunate". I will see if I can post it later

Fogfog, curious about the list from the Haven about stockholder credit, did they send it to you or did you get it after boarding on previous cruise?  Hope you're able to post it.

Thanks

And what is capacity?  Looks - thats ALL I'm lookiong for - NUMBER of people - not percentages or conclusions as to a particular cruise/  

That is all dependent on the ship.  Every ship capacity is different so without a specific ship, the answers you got were right on the spot, for your general question.  

CoachYO

bigsky, where did you get your tickets?

Thanks.

Yes, I did look at the post that wS why I was asking.  Wo during if it was something else besides just a basic cruisenext with a different name.

Ziggyuk,  would you happen to know what the CruuseNext Haven is?

Thank you for the info.

Not sure what other info I can add.  The credit is from a large cruise company.  I dont know if it is refundable or not.  I also have $100 from NCL.

I've already paid for several excursions,  can I use any of this money towards the excursions and get my CC refunded for those I already paid for? (I figure I would have to do it once on the ship ) 

Thanks, YO

I have $500 onboard credit from my non NCL cruise travel agent company.

What can I use it for?

Photos?

Entry into Poker Tournament?

Bingo?

Jewelry in store?

Spa?

Slot Tournament?

Drinks over the included limit?  Such as expensive Bourbon or Bottle of wine?

Gratuity to room steward or favorite bartender?

Others.........?

Thanks 

YO

Going to Cannes in Aug on NCL Epic and thinking about renting a car for the 3 of us.

Is there a close rental place to port?

Will my US drivers license and auto insurance be enough or do I need something else?

Anyone have pre ilus experiences renting here?

Thanks, CoachYO

@Coachyo So very kind of you.  Glad you like what I write.  I wrote a book about life experiences.  I finished about 6 months ago.  Lots of content on Cruising.  My wife said, you can not send that book to a publisher until I read it.  The book was 250 pages.  

 

Six months later, she read 10 pages and I still can't send it to a publisher.  She said I come across as a Know it all.  So when some one, any one likes my writing, I feel vindicated.  So thank you. 

 

Cruise well, enjoy the Haven and the poker Tournament. 

Myself, and I bet many others would read it.  

She can read it between rounds of the slot tournament 🤣.

Good luck with the slot tournament.

Just got our UPGRADE!

Dec 4 on Encore out of Miami on poker cruise.  

Paid very little to get a balcony room upgrade ( won this cruise in March) so we could try to bid on Haven.  Went to live bidding and got Forward Face Haven for a little more than if i booked a balcony suite outright! 

Sthrngary, you are such a great writer.  Have wanted to say thanks, for your posts in various spots.

You are such a wealth of information and great thoughts.

Thanks, CoachYO

I can really find much info on live bidding.  

Does anyone know how long they keep taking bids?  

Not sure if they just want a certain number for a bid or do they wait right up until the day before.

Thanks, YO

Heading out Dec on Encore and wife asked me if they decorate for the holidays  on the ship?

Any info and or pics would be appreciated.

Thanks, YO

Wait, where can I ride Polar Bears?!  🐻‍❄️

Thanks for the responses.   I figure I'll get a few CAD before we go.   I'd rather save a few bucks and leave any extra "change" for our last place we spend our CAD.

I'll be on the look out for a custom made Polar bear saddle.  🤣

Should I get Canadian money for whien we are in port for meals, excursions and tips?

If so where is best place to get it? Home before hand or in port?

Thanks, CoachYO

So I stole this idea from luckyinpa in another thread.  (Hope that’s ok)
Help us make a list of snacks you have asked for or have gotten in the Haven.

Thanks, CoachYO

I’ll start with what I remember 

PBJ’s

Chocolate covered strawberries

Hey YVRteacher & dcassetta, I’m right after you on the 20th.  Let us know what the entertainment is once you get hold of a dailies please.

‘Thanks, CoachYO

I figured the not booking until boarding but it no longer mentions any shows just that they have a showroom.   Probably IT stuff, just glad we’ll have a Tuesday on our trip. 😀

Thanks, CoachYO🍺

Going on Bliss March 20th. 🛳️ Noticed a few days ago that there the website was no longer showing Jersey Boys or Prohibition show.   Looked again today and still nothing.  I did chat with NCL and all she said was yes there are shows and they will be available once I board.  I just saw on another site someone on Bliss in Panama cruise Feb 4 said they were both cancelled.   🤨Any one know what they have going right now or by my March 20 cruise?  

Thanks for info, CoachYO. 🍺

Oops, good question.  The Bliss.

What is access like to get to the Haven area from 

Hey mearsfansinboise, saw from your post here and in Secrets of Haven we’re on same cruise, ho-I got for an upgrade.  If so you’ll figure me out as I’ll probably be wearing something Denver Broncos or Tommy Bahama.  I go by YO.  Hope to say hey if we get in Haven with bid.

‘YO

Got ours invite to upgrade day 55 out now hoping.  Bliss in March!
