Candy Apple 12

Thanks for the review. It’s nice to relive the experience and see what we missed. Did you see the volcano erupt while you were on the ship or on your tour? We stayed in the port area and did not see it. Chicken busses?? Please elaborate.

I enjoy taking the stairs. Why is it difficult to access the stairs on the Pr1ma class ships? Enjoy the most: tie between the butler bringing me my meals to the room so I don’t have to sit in the restaurant and wait for them and priority embarkation/disembarkation so I don’t have to wait in lines. Therefore, what I enjoy most is not having to wait! Can do without: the smell of the smoked drinks permeating from the bar into the lounge area

Many ports have a fine. Good luck! We don’t want to sail without you!

Thank you! Hubby and I are looking forward to trying it out soon!

Are robes available in the thermal spa? Thank you!

That would have to be the most expensive bottle of perfume I’ve ever bought. I have $250 to spend.

Will that work the same way for buying an SDP for guest #3? I currently have all three guests under my credit card. I did that just for the ease on online check in, but guest #3 was going to change it over to her credit card at the embarkation port. If need be, she can keep it on my card. We don’t drink, so I’m trying to find the best use of the credit on my upcoming cruise.

I don’t like those breakfast potatoes either. They are usually soft and mushy. They’d be better if they were crispy. I ask the server to leave them off and I’m only successful half the time, even though I have a pre-order due to needing to eat gluten-free. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to try the now elusive hash browns because I’ve always been told they contain gluten. I’m thinking of pre-ordering some real shredded hash browns next month in the Haven. I’ll report back if I’m successful.

What can the non-refundable stockholder OBC be used for? I’ve heard it cannot be used to pay the daily service charge. Is there anything else it cannot be used for, or is everything else fair game? It gets split between guest #1 and guest #2 on the reservation which of course are the guests that get the free at sea SDP. Can I use it to buy a SDP for guest #3? Can I use it to pay for tips for the stateroom steward, butler, or concierge? Thank you!

Well, there’s another mystery solved. Maybe we have the same TA. @RocketMan275 helped me find a new TA, so I think my new TA gifted me these extras.

Woe to the crew member wearing red!

I just booked 14312 and 14314 for a 2025 cruise. Any feedback on those would be appreciated.

I think you are correct. I just changed travel agents and saw this code on my new reservation. I see the following on my confirmation from NCL. I assume “sales” means the TA purchased the truffles, strawberries, and water. What about the wine? It’s a Haven cabin but not an owner’s suite. Is this something the TA would have purchased also?

What about this one? VIPMIA2

I go to the concierge desk and ask them to add tips to my account. I have to have the full name of the person I’m tipping. We don’t drink, so no bar tab. I’m trying to figure out the best way to spend my OBC now that I finally went ahead and bought the stock.

So if I add on a tip for the butler or concierge, I can use my shareholder OBC for this? If so, that’s a game changer.

I hadn’t thought of putting one platinum in each cabin. We sail in 17 days, so I think it’s too late. Otherwise I would have tried to move the Bronze passenger up to guest #1 or 2 in the cabin with the platinums. I don’t think NCL wants us to play musical cabins this late in the game. I appreciate the suggestion though because I am trying to plan another multi-cabin cruise and will definitely try to place a platinum in each cabin if I can convince everyone from this trip to join us on the new one I’m planning. Yes, you understand my proposed plan correctly. Thank you for sharing your experience. Now I know that I can go ahead and buy the 4 meal SDP for the Bronze guest and follow this chart once we are on the cruise so I don’t mess up my plan.

There are five of us traveling. Two platinum and one bronze in one cabin. When I booked it I didn’t think to put the bronze latitude guest as one of the first two in the cabin, so the two platinums have the free at sea 3 SDP package plus the two latitude coupons. The two gold guests have their own cabin and each have 3 free at sea SDP meals. I was thinking of buying a 4 SDP for the bronze guest and using the two platinum coupons as shown below. Will this work? I think we’d all like to eat dinner together every night instead of the two platinum guests having two additional specialty meals.

The email showed the purchase of 100 shares.

NCLH says to black out the account number so I wanted to do that. I received an email addressed to me with the trade information so I included a redacted screenshot of that email along with a redacted screenshot of the main page of my E*trade which shows my name and that I have NCL shares, but not how many. That should work.

The transaction finally went through on E*trade but none of the views that I can see on their website show my name so that NCLH knows that I’m the owner of the account. What am I missing? I’m 19 days away from my trip so I want to get the form in ASAP. Thank you.

Me too, but not Alaska in late September!

I received the same coupon. I’ve already done that exact cruise. NCL, give me a coupon for a cruise I haven’t been on!

I’m curious, too. Gian was the concierge on our May 2022 and April 2023 Bliss cruises.
