CruiseBunny425

I am staying in a studio April 22nd. I will make sure to pack a bottle of Poo-Pourri now. 🤣

This worked. Thank you. I ended up seeing it on there. 🙂

Not sure, but I am going on this cruise come hell or high water, so it will be used. Thankfully, I live less than 30 minutes from the terminal so no flight to worry about.

Thank you! Will ask for that later today!

Happy holidays, all! Some family/friends have sent me onboard credit as gifts for Christmas. Some are showing in the app, but others ordered earlier than the ones showing are not. Is this normal?

Greetings! I’ll be sailing on the NCL Bliss in April. I’m so excited for the Observation Lounge, but also wanted to enjoy the Waterfront as we sail through Glacier Bay. I have sherpa lined sweatpants that I was planning on relaxing in that day. Does NCL provide blankets at all or is bringing a blanket recommended? Or stick to layers?

I’m going solo on the Bliss in April. Should I book my show reservations when I book my specialty dining reservations or wait till I am onboard and go with the solo group? The whole Haven class is chartered on my cruise, so I am worried they’re going to take up a lot of show space.

As mentioned above, there are ships scrap-bound like the Ecstasy that are way better suited for this than upsetting their customers. If they feel the need to help, donate money to get an unused ship ready or refurb unused hotel or office space. Leave our cruises alone. I’m glad it’s looking like the Bliss is safe and hope everyone’s booked trip is. The solution is out there - a bandaid on a hemorrhage of leasing out a ship isn’t it.

I am gonna preface this with this is NOT a place to air your feelings on migrants and/or politics. That said, anyone else worried about their Bliss cruises getting cancelled if NYC gets to lease out the ship for at least 6 months for migrants? I was really looking forward to my birthday cruise in April and crossing Alaska off the bucket list. Now I am worried I will get a cancellation letter. Will I get it now? Closer to sailing? Will they offer me credit for inconveniencing me to pay the difference to go in May? Wish they would donate money instead of a ship!!

Thank you! I’m a west coaster, so I’ve updated my calendar to 9pm December 22. 😀

Hello! The app says I can start making reservations on December 23. Does anyone know if that is the minute the clock strikes midnight on the 23rd? 9am pacific? Haven gets a 10 day head start and I want to make sure to get into either Cagney’s or Teppanyaki for my birthday dinner. 🙂

I called up my PCC and asked about the soda package since I turned down the free one with alcohol. I wouldn’t drink enough soda to justify the gratuities the alcohol package wanted. I wasn’t able to get it for free on my 7 day, but did get it for $66.78 including gratuities, so I saved something at least. Nice peace of mind that I can enjoy as much Coca Cola as I want now. 🙂

I ended up clicking the redeem as statement credit out of curiosity. It showed I can put $250 credit on my NCL card with 25,000 points so I did that versus OBC.

Ooops, meant 25,000 points equals $250 OBC or statement credit.

Since statement credit was the same amount as OBC, 25,000 points equaled OBC or statement credit I opted for statement credit, so I could book my last excursion. It seems like you have to call to redeem it as OBC…or their website on mobile web browsers is terrible.

Awesome! I put in the redemption. Now I don’t have to worry about the tour selling out. Soon as the credit hits my card I’m booking the seaplane tour. I wish they offered the helicopter/sled dog one, but something for next time. Riding in a seaplane is still a bucket list item getting crossed off the list!

I’m in a studio on my cruise. Are OBC and statement credit worth the same amount?

Finally got my first statement and my 20,000 bonus point reward. Woohoo! I also accrued an additional 5,000 thanks to the triple points thing. I’m having trouble seeing all the ways I can redeem it on the app or mobile browser. Do you get the same as either a statement credit or onboard credit? Reason I ask is because if it’s $250 regardless between statement credit or OBC, I’d rather free up $250 on my card and book my Alaska seaplane excursion in Juneau versus wait till onboard and OBC to book. Thanks for any advice! 🙂

Yeah I was confused about that. So in regular rooms is it more like $25 off per person?

Hoping that works to my advantage on the seaplane tour since I plan on using OBC to pay for it, so can’t book till on the ship.

If I see even one bear it will have been worth it. If not, at least I got to walk around something pretty? 🙂

I was able to book the Railway / Klondike Highway tour, so I hope that means it’s running. If not, I hope I get a refund. 🙂

Hello! First time poster. I’m doing my first solo in studio Alaska trip on the Bliss in April for my birthday. I already booked the bear one I want to do in Ketchikan (and hope the bears wake up early lol), but I’m also very interested in the White Pass train/bus tour where you go one way by train and back by bus and the Mendenhall Glacier and Whale Quest. I wanted to wait to use my NCL MC OBC to book those, but worry about them selling out since I’m going so early in the season. Is that common for excursions to sell out before day 1 even starts?
