Thank you for taking the time to do this live report.... really enjoying it. Have you checked out the Multi-Purpose room on deck 13. Are there library books available there? What has been your favorite restaurant? Karen

We are Diamond on NCL and for some reason I thought we didn't have to select a boarding time. Had some difficulty getting photos uploaded but now have our cruise documents and it shows time selected to arrive at Pier 2:30pm - 3:00 pm. For boarding process it says Boarding begins at 12:00 pm. Departure time is 7:00 pm It also says Please note the time you have selected to arrive at the pier. Guest arriving to the pier before your select arrival time will be asked to come back at the appropriate time. Has anyone boarded POA recently who can verify if the Honolulu port sticks to the "selected arrival time" and denies entrance until that time. If they're strict we'll ask hotel to hold our luggage and hang out for a while. Thank you Karen

We're enjoying the live thread because we're on the next Spirit cruise. Would also love to hear about your cruise.

aft facing balcony??? do not book one on deck 8 as they are above Bliss lounge ..... noisy aft facing deck 10 balconies are deep enough for loungers and chairs there are some YouTube videos We did a very port intensive cruise on the Star in April ... even though ship doesn't have an observation lounge or great outdoors she was perfect for that type of cruise

I have an FCC resulting from price crop after final payment for our upcoming cruise on the Spirit and am still receiving Upgrade notice offers.

don't know when you're thinking about cruising but the Norwegian Dawn has a great itinerary April 22, 2025 and it is priced reasonably

using Firefox all of the April 2025 Prima sailings are showing up

We always take a bottle of Rugby Travel Sickness, 100 Tablets currently $6.41 on Amazon. Meclizine HCl 25 mg Without medication I can get sick standing on a dock and in all our cruises have never been seasick when using these. One tablet in the morning and I'm good. Also use these when flying, riding in back seat of car or seated anywhere on bus or van.

mking8288 if you're still on line you might want to edit your post to show stateroom upgrade using 60,000 points from Inside to Balcony .... rather than from OV. Question on your diamond upgrade on other stateroom .... were you within one year of award? We haven't used our diamond upgrades and don't know if we've lost them.

i noticed that too Original article listed a supposed NCL spokesperson

lol me too Last year they gave me 10% off coupon (not the latitude sailing) but it was for same time period we were already booked on an NCL cruise. Had to look at that stupid coupon until expiration date arrived. We do have the Bliss latitude coupon this year. We love the Bliss but our upcoming Spirit cruise has 5 days in Alaska and there is so much more of the world to see. If it gets really cheap, maybe .......

At 2:16 into this video by The Cruising Sisters they show electrical outlet in interior stateroom 11306

Sorry ..... we did the very long tender day into Venice on our Star cruise in April. There is separate thread about it so won't go into it here. We flew into Venice two days early and then took the train to Trieste morning of the cruise. We dearly loved Venice and want to go back. It figures that on NCL website the itinerary for this cruise is still being sold as the original itinerary..... no pop up saying itinerary has been changed.

Question on how the one time price drop FCC works. I just received email from NCL advising they've granted us each $300 FCC after completion of our upcoming Hawaii to Alaska cruise on the Spirit. Took less than a week to receive response so I was pleased 🙂 Once the Spirit cruise is completed and the credit is actually on our accounts how does it show up when it is applied to a cruise? Is the cruise fare on the invoice reduced by the FCC or does it show as a payment towards total price of cruise. I'm hoping it's the latter. Thank you.

Here is a YouTube video by Kayla Djukic of NCL Prima sideways inside 16187. Stateroom is in same location as yours but two decks up. Room tour starts about four minutes into the video.
