NW Pacific

It use to be a price reduction was given as an Onboard Credit (OBC), now is it only a Future Cruise Credit (FCC)? Have cruise booked for Oct 2023, pd in full, saw a little over $100 pp reduction on our category, called our PCC (never again, he is worthless) told he sent an email to his supervisor asking if we could get anything, never a reply. PCC stated the reduction had to be over $200 pp for any consideration after final pymt. Hey there $200 plus OBC would be appreciated.

Think 24 hr eatery is called the Local now

Thank you for Haven signage update. Last year on the Bliss there was a person outside that directed Haven guests to enter terminal. Hoping getting into the terminal was not too long. am expecting by October there will be rain. Enjoy enjoy , and hope you enjoyed your days in the great NW

2. Yes, the name escapes me, but it is an almost 24 hour sit down Pub like restaurant, the buffet only has a limited few desserts late evening?? 3. NCL back to muster drill online watching a video. then when you board you go to your station and your card is swiped. No more gathering at 3pm with hundreds of other passengers. Of course this is subject to change. 4. Unless in the Haven cleaning now done once a day 5. I would only guess, probably the latest 7pm You can look most it not all of your questions online at NCL, except maybe the bed configuration, but always glad to try to help out as others are.

Thanks for looking, we will be onboard for the Oct 15th sailing. Keep all of us updated. Especially about the Ports and if you get a day cruising Glacier Bay, should be Thursday!! thanks

Unless I should fall into a mud puddle, our clothes stay pretty clean with multiple Wearings. No way would I wash jeans or slacks on a cruise unless for some "disaster". Can wear tops multiple times, so we only take carry on for a 7 to 10 day cruise. Shoes are my problem, need walking ones plus daytime and evening wear, urgh, they do take up room. Have used NCL laundry several times, only for underwear and a couple t-shirts for hubby. We shower daily so clothes just like at home we find do not need washing unless worn for many multiple times. Use to want to have a different outfit everyday, now older and wiser just don't want the chance of loosing luggage (it is not fun) so we keep it with us both flying and getting onboard. Roll clothes in laundry bags from the cleaners is my go to!

If possible let us, meaning me and hubby know if when getting to the Pier if there was a visible sign for Haven boarding, this would be outside before entering the inside of the terminal, thanks in advance

My current documents about Online Check In state: " guests who have not completed their online check-In forms at 3 days prior to their vacation start date are required to complete the Check-In process at the pier at least 2 hours prior to the departure time noted on their cruise documents." Getting photos loaded can be a real challenge sometimes. this statement on page two of our reservations form makes me feel better. Just bring your reservation confirmation form NCL if all else fails checking in online.

The afternoon Haven "snacks" usually for us are a waste unfortunately. We taste a little, but know dinner is only a few hours away and after having lunch, just too much. Have asked the Butler NO chocolate covered strawberries, but they come from somewhere and are wasted also. the canopies are our favorite, have asked Butler just to bring them, but of course get so much more. Hate waste, so very fortunate to have these "problems"

The Haven "Observation" Lounge on Deck 17 did not have entertainment, the "Observation Lounge" non haven, on deck 15 did have entertainment for a few hours nightly. Must not have the correct references to the two different Observation lounges correct. Hope this helps. In fact on both Bliss Haven cruises, the OB Lounge at night was pretty much empty, with low lights and a nice quiet spot

Have been on the Bliss twice in the Haven, there was no entertainment in the Observation Lounge. Also have been with friends in March on the Bliss non haven, the non-haven observation lounge did have some good piano music, singers.

Thanks, I am inquiring about the actual cost of the cruise fare, if both in same cabin get the 15 percent off each of their fares.

Both husband and I have the exact status , my account shows the 10 and 15 percent discounts available. Does anyone have experience with getting both members booking a cruise being able to get the discounts? I am asking because in the past, the NCL rep has only given my discount?? Just wondering if anyone actually got discount for two on the same reservation. Getting actual experience/information, is sometimes Beter than what I get on the phone, thanks ( we both have latitude numbers

Yes, many years ago NCL did offer a "brunch". and there was music provided. I think maybe the Star also, so long ago. But indeed it was available for an upcharge.

very glad you had no problems, just a heads up to let cruisers know clothes are not washed in cold water, even if requested.

Great!! some clothes are sensitive hot water and high heat.

Be careful what you send out in the laundry bag. remember clothes washed and dried in hot water and dried on high heat setting.

Have the same sentiment as roger001!!! We are Diamond on NCL, reminiscing about the good ole days, nothing comparable to what it is now. We have been on 19 day cruises with different entertainment in the Main theatre every night, this was on Jewell Class Ships. (sigh) went with 2 other couples in April on the Bliss, everyone had already seen the two shows available. We all went once to the lame Comedy Show, that was it for entertainment. Obviously loyal NCL cruisers, BUT like everything else times have changed, so sad. Use to be just getting onboard was a luxury. And yes we go with a positive attitude obviously or wouldn't go, . New cruisers will not experience the let down, but us old fogies sure have!

You did great .

Cabins near the elevator bank I think are the best choice. No waking through the long hallways. Never ever heard any noise from the elevator area.

Wish I could, did not save fliers, even if I did would not know how to post it. Sorry. But i will guarantee you for what's it worth, this has happened, so be it. Also to OP, we drop off our carry ons in our cabin after boarding. Never been a problem. Just put them in there, if we see room steward say, just dropping off, out of here until room is ready. Know this is probably not acceptable to some, but we have figured out away for less stress. If you ever get on a cruise without your luggage, especially a really expensive one, you may understand my OCD!! Everyone has their own unique way of travelling. Jut mine!

On cruises 10 days or less we only take carry ons, plane and Ship. our comfort Zone. On last 5 cruises, always have gotten a "flier" has anyone seen this baggage? Obviously did not make it onto the Ship or lost somewhere. It really isn't in my opinion a hassle to take a plane size roller board and a back pack on. Everybody has their own way of doing boarding. Just our experience.

The Food Republic on the Bliss March this year; ordering was done through a "tablet" on the table. Not my style at all. Our waiter was beyond kind and helped us out. great food. But not my style of dining , especially on a what I consider an indulgent vacation>

Yes possible, but you will need to make prior arrangements with Ship personal. friends in January took off luggage in Melbourne Australia, gifts for family that lived there. they were continuing the cruise back to New Zealand. Restrictions were high, but eventually got it done. Europe I think is less restrictive about what can come into country. Hope this helps. If just clothes, should be doable.i

Call and ask, it may be possible if you are way before final payment
