Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” Cancelation

 

 

Dear Valued Guest,

 

We have important information regarding your reservations for “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” for your upcoming sailing aboard Norwegian Prima on April 16, 2024.  

 

Due to a scheduling conflict, the performance date for “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” has changed. Consequently, your reservation for “Summer: The Donna Summer Musical” on April 18, 2024, cannot be accommodated and will automatically rescheduled, once on board. No further action is required.

 

Maybe it will be available on a different day than originally scheduled for your cruise.  It doesn't look to me like it's cancelled for your entire cruise.

I just received an email that the Donna Summer show is cancelled and will be rescheduled on my upcoming April 16 cruise. Did anyone else get this?

It is still showing up on our 5 April cruise.  Does it show up on your reservation under Onboard Entertainment?

Whether you think you have a great cruise or a bad cruise, "You are right".  It is mostly what you make of it.  The planning of the cruise is much of the fun.  You need to be involved.  Not knowing where your stateroom is located is on you.

I think invited means being asked.  Since some aren't being asked they haven't been invited.

From a balcony, you can bid on a Club Balcony (mini-suite), a regular suite (no real perks) or a Haven room. 
 

Bids on the Club Balcony would be a hindered or two per person. Suite, several hundred per person. Haven, many hundred to $1k+ per person. 
 

You have to be invited to bid. If your friends booked to a big box store travel agent, they would not be eligible to bid. 

You don't necessarily have to be invited to bid.  Many times all you have to do is go to the upgrade link and you can bid without ever being invited.

Don't take the chance.  Early afternoon flight will get you there without the high blood pressure.

Thank goodness there will be a few less on my next NCL cruise.  I don't want it to be too crowded.

NCL will book the cheapest flights.  There is much discussion on here as to the value of using NCL bogo airfare.

We have used NCL bogo 3 times from Florida.  Twice to Europe in which it worked out great and once to Seattle where the filghts were bad.  It's terrible that LATAM charged $240 per bag for checked luggage.  That is highway robbery, only in the air.

You should have received an invoice when you made the change that lists exactly what you get and what you paid.  At that point did you compare the old and new invoices for discrepancies?

no you don't. It is a non-existent benefit. 

 

And even in the Haven, it is much easier to go to the cruise next desk and get signed up and the printed information required for the activities. 

I got it and the wine tasting was great.

Not everyone has a concierge.

You do if you are Platinum which the OP said he was.

Your Concierge should make those arrangements and let you know when they are happening.  You should see information in your room on the first day.  If you don't see or hear anything when you first arrive in your room just contact your concierge and ask them.

Got off the Prima November 11 in Rome.  Stayed in Haven HE 15906.  We were directly under the Haven sundeck and there was some chair dragging noise at times.  Mostly in early morning or late evening.  Nothing that caused any disruption to our cruise.  Certainly nothing that would cause us to complain.  Love the Prima!!

Tell me again, why fly NCL?

Only one reason.  Saved alot of money.

We were scheduled for a 11:30 pm flight and the couple we were traveling with got a 12 noon flight.  You never know what you are going to get.

Last year leaving Seattle our friends flight was scheduled to leave at 11:30am.  There was an issue with customs or someone so disembarkation didn't start until close to 9am.  By the time our friends got to the airport they were not going to make their flight.  So they purchased that expedited security (Clear) at the airport in order to make their flight.  It worked out for them but I would never book a flight before noon out of Seattle.  Too many things to go wrong.

BTW.. our flight on this same vacation was 11:30pm.  That really sucked.

There is no entertainment in the Haven "Lounge" that I ever saw.  There was however a piano player in the Observation Lounge.  Great place to hang.

Piano is being played in the Observation Lounge on the Bliss in the afternoon and evening.  It's a great place to hang out.

For those utilizing the BOGO air thru NCL.  At what point did you receive airfare info?   We are less than 75 days out 👍

Between now and when you leave....  haha  No, I think between 30-60 days out.  On our Alaskan cruise last fall we thought it was great getting our airfare at 60 days out.  Our friends going with us were upset they didn't get theirs until they got it at 30 days out.  Their flights were great and ours were terrible.  You never know what you are going to get with the BOGO.

We love the Bliss in Alaska and have never had ash or soot while in an aft balcony.  I don't think you would get any sicker in the aft than a mid.

We stayed at Hotel Andra.  Nice hotel near the port and walking distance to the Fish Market (where they throw the fish and holler). 

According to NCL chat.  Prior to the cruise call 855-625-4283 for concierge help.  When on the ship contact the Concierge Desk when you need it.  You don't have one assigned to you.

You can just print new luggage tags from your Edocs.  Depending on how far out your cruise is you may or may not get new ones from NCL. 

I always say it is like getting a box of chocolates, you never know what you are going to get.  Reservations going from Florida to Athens was great.  From Florida to Seattle was terrible.  Both trips going a day in advance.
