I should add. I have been on many cruises with different cruise lines. I booked a few direct, but most with a TA. I have always received a reminder when a final payment is due.

Perfect. I hope the airlines do not return to their previously practice of change fees. A lot easy to make changes now.

Once you have made up your mind about what is true, you sure stay firm. No possibility that someone in a SS is not entitled to room service alcoholic drinks on demand? Just a matter of poor training if it does not match your view? There is no doubt that some butlers will stock and delivery alcoholic drinks to those staying in a Sky Suite. IMO it is a real stretch to consider all those Butler that do not provide this service as not being trained properly.

Thank you for the feedback. I certainly have several reoccurring charges set up with my CC. So, you always need to call and give your TA the same CC when you make a deposit? jelayne’s situation seems a little different.

The complete deposit? No FCC equal to the deposit amount?

I agree, but my TA always notifies me about a week before the final payment is due. I think it is a system generated reminder with another invoice attached. How does the advance authorization work with your TA? Is it a blanket authorization with you r CC info that is good forever? Is it a form or just verbal? I would guess you get an revised invoice showing fully paid, so it is a little reminder. The company that my TA UA associated with does not keep my CC in their system. I communicate with my great TA mostly by email. I talked to her twice, once when I deposit and again when I make my final payment. Always do my quoting and ask questions via email. My preferred method of communication, so I have a record. It be nice to be set up automatically. Thanks. How about everyone else? Something unique about my TA?I like Jelayne’s approach and I have never pushed the issue.

Thanks. Disappointing, but we will try. My wife usually has it about half the time as an appetizer or main course.

Encouraged to here that I should be able to get a white chocolate Mocha

Slightly confused. Have you cruised on any of the newer Edge Class Celebrity cruises? Or are comparing the Reflection Experience to the Discovery experience. It might be more appropriate to compare the Reflection to the Emerald, Crown, etc. Celebrity’s Silhouette is my favorite S class ship.

I like White Chocolate Mocha, but I do not think Princess has ever served it, but I may be mistaken.

Thank you for posting. We will be on the January 17th version of your cruise. my DW is going to be very disappointed in the removal of the Fettuccine Alfredo for the everyday Pasta menu. Do you know if it is still available everyday even though it is not listed. Enjoy the rest of your cruise. Personally I am really looking forward to seeing the new canal.

Also it looks like the change from $12 to $15 Plus limit only starts when the new prices for drinks is implemented. Perhaps 2/20?

Which coffee choices are no longer available with the coffee package?

Good for you. Did you stay with Air Canada? How much more did it cost? why didn’t you just book your flight directly with the airlines? Given the very liberal change and cancellation policies of airlines (for air credit) there is little risk not using FBC. Even better IMO. Happy New Year.

Jim, one of my favorite Christmas gifts. I have increased my odds of using my Fire Stick in my next cruise. Thank you again for the help.

So, if the the current premium package cost roughly $109 wouldn’t you just pay the different from the current Classic package to upgrade (plus gratuity)? How much you paid for the initial Classic package is not relevant. Drake2’s comment about $40 a person to upgrade from Classic to Premium at $40 was confusing me. The difference is $20, $89 to $109, correct?

Are you saying that you cannot upgrade from the old Classic price/package to the old Premium price/package? You have to upgrade all the way to the new Premium price from the old Classic price? Bummer!

We traditionally dine there on the first night as a way to celebrate the start of our cruise.

Bummer for sure.

Jajsmom, which two cruises are involved?

Even if you have a drink package that has been previously paid? Does not make a lot of sense to me. Do they charge tax on dining, internet, etc. while you are in port? Why the difference? does NCL charge a gratuity for each drink purchased with a package or something similar?

I would be concerned that the crew would be short changed based on your last suggestion.

The upper limit was changed last week when the price for the Premium package was increased.

When are your cruises? If you wanted to book RT on a B2B, you will need to wait until the return flights for your second cruise are available. I have also noticed at times that you do not get the best pricing if you book as soon as flights are initially available. did you confirm that two one ways cost more than a RT by trying other dates? .

Do they only charge the tax in CA if you do not already have a drink package?
