I can tell you that for our Dec 1 Getaway cruise, which we booked in Feb as I recall, the price has come down almost $800.  Price drop started at about 60 days out.

There is also a nice free breakfast there, much less crowded than the Garden cafe.

as others have said, we have had one on both Getaway and Escape, and have one reserved for our upcoming Getaway cruise.  Nice bit of extra room for no extra charge.

Harvest is walk off, Great Stirrup is tender.  At Harvest there are excursions and a ferry to the mainland, Great Stirrup is a beach day only.

I would call and ask, but I believe I have read on here that is none, 1, 2 or all.

Thanks Noob, we will be in the Caribbean so not sure if that makes a difference. 

Anybody have experience listening to SiriusXM using their ap on a tablet onboard.  I know I have seen in the past that streaming video doesn't work all that well, but wondering if the audio is smaller bandwidth and might work.

Not nice: think about those of us living in AR and our poor team!!! I guess it can always be worse.

OP, I doubt we can expect to see any college football. 😢

I feel your pain Nita, my extra Mama was a Razorback, so I have always had a soft spot for them.

with the season your team is having, consider it a blessing to miss a game 😉

The Getaway is a nice ship.  Be sure to check out the Waterfront and Spice H20.  Our favorite parts of the ship.  Your balcony will be SMALL, but still a nice spot to enjoy a drink or coffee.  The casino is quite smoky, if you are sensitive to that.  Even drifts a bit to the surrounding areas.  Sugarcanes mojito bar is a not to miss, and Million Dollar Quartet is an outstanding show.

I know years ago we traveled to Mexico with a woman in the same situation, Dad was a "one nighter" she never saw again.  Nobody asked for the paperwork, but she was prepared to be denied entry.  If I was you, I would be reluctant to try it unless you all are prepared to not take the cruise, or send her home by herself. 

Do you know if Mom has gone thru the legal process of terminating his parental rights? If not it will be tricky.

It used to be that you got a one off OBC offer when you moved up latitudes levels, but I don’t believe they have done that for a few years now.

 

If it was a few years ago then that may be what the OP is referring to.

interesting, never heard that before, but then only been cruising since '16

I think that was probably booking one of the Latitudes Insider special cruises.  There is no standard OBC for Latitudes members that I am aware of.

OOoooh I get it now.  I was thinking you were handing over a card for the certs, so the OBC was throwing me.  Seems like it would be a good deal if you plan to cruise with Norwegian again.  

Agreed, and if you have onboard credit from booking or your TA like we did last time, it is almost free money off your next cruise (we had $200 OBC from booking, so got $500 in cruise next for $50)

You buy 2 $250 certificates, they charge your onboard account $500, then issue a $250 on board credit, so your net cost for the 500 deposit certs is 250.  Just think of them as half price.

I see.  and you can't roll over OBC, right?  use it or lose it?

you have already used it, on the deposits.  $500 deposits- $250 OBC = $250 net cost of certificates

Bueller? Bueller? anyone?

Wasn't he also talking to his kids on a walkie talkie?

We are now 80 days out and just got the upgrade email.  We are currently booked in an angled balcony on 12, but was considering bidding on the upgrade to a spa balcony to have access to the thermal spa.  But as an upgrade, which gets treated as a guarantee basically, it looks like lots of those rooms could be underneath the fitness room or pool deck.  Anyone have experience with the rooms to know if they are noisy? Thanks.

Well on the Escape be sure to use your beverage package at the District Brewhouse (if you like craft beer) 

Norwegian doesn’t have a ship called Elation, but on the ships they do have if passengers 1 and 2 receive the bev package as a perk the others in the cabin don’t have to purchase a package, only if it is purchased outright

edit apparently Keith types faster than I

Kinda.  If you're making a booking online, you'll get a choice of which room you want.  If you count the rooms they're offering, then you know that there's at least that many cabins left.

(edit: minus the sailaways.  So it'll still give you a sense of cabins available, but nothing hard and fast)

I believe it will  only ever show you 15 cabins to pick from.  There could be many more, or not. No way to tell.

Thanks, I did look up the final day of the regular season and learned it was Sept 29th. Holy Cow, I didn't realize they would be playing til next spring.   seriously our oldest daughter was born during the World Series in 1959. I had a chance to go to one of the games but choose to go into labor instead. As luck would have it, our team did win and went on to win the series;; Hoping for another world championship this year. Can we play the guessing game: our team was the team that produced one of the greatest pitcher of all times. This year they lead their division by 17.5 games as of this morning🍸!!!

You must be talking about Mr Koufax
