***** NEWEST LIST******** https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/Beverage_Packages_122322.pdf NOTE !!! Some drinks available only in the Haven !! See small print in the Whiskey section @European_CruiseGirl@phillygwm

Most recent P+ is dated 12/9. No Moet, but Veuve is still there.

I just read the small print again, Does anyone have any idea what the "Connoisseur Collection " actually is??

I accept that challenge!! One bottle at dinner each , and then I will just ask for glasses, 2 at a time. DH will have to pour me into the elevator....

So, after I saw this post I went searching and found this list of drinks that should be available for Premium + https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/Beverage_Packages_12092022.pdf I noticed down the bottom of the page , in teeny tiny writing a helpful link so I could go and see more things.... For further details on our beverage packages, visit NCL.COM/beverage-packages. I copied, pasted and was shocked and horrified to find...the page no longer exists.🙄 I am cruising in February, with P+ on the Prima, I will attempt to find and drink everything on the above list and will report back when I recover....

@greatestvaluewe use our gift certificate obc to buy our massages, pay for shore excursions and to use in the casino. To the best of my knowledge the gift certs are refundable but I’ve never had anything left over to try and refund. This is how we got our $350 AMEX deal on my husband’s card, and I paid a $1000 deposit on our December 2023 cruise to get it on mine. I hope you figure out a way to get yours.

You have it correct. If you choose to tip more for a service above and beyond, then of course that is always welcomed, but you have covered all the requirements if you have prepaid your service charges.

Why not buy yourself 2x $500 obc vouchers using your Amex card then use them to buy your next cruise while on board?

If you had asked me before 2020 I would have included Cagney's as a favorite, but in the 3 cruises since the "re-opening", I have found the quality there to be sadly lacking. This has been on both the Epic and the Getaway. So, that being said , I would opt for Le Bistro which is a favorite of my husband's for the mushroom soup, the escargots and the filet and for Ocean Blue where my favorite scallops and cioppino can be found.

We Did B2B in March on the Epic and both legs were treated as separate weeks. This worked in our favor as we bought cruise next certificates on both legs, which gave us OBC for both weeks. Yes , there were 2 bills to pay but the total was the same as if there had been only 1 bill.

I would be pleased!! Fort Lauderdale is a much nicer airport, easier to get into and out of and TSA is much faster. I live halfway between the 2 airports and would take an extra connection over having to go through Miami! The distance to Miami Port is not that far, Uber would be reasonable.

No notification needed. Just keep copies of all tickets and itineries and if you need to claim, any re issued tickets and receipts, photos of all texts and emails related to the incident. Really easy to claim through their app, we input info as it was happening then submit when we got home. Had the money back in 4 weeks.

@Birdnutty Yes. I just renewed for next year already. I have mine with Allianz and it has worked really well for myself and my husband. Delays in New York required an overnight stay, we stayed at the TWA hotel on site and we had the room and dinner covered by insurance. That right there covered the annual cost.

@Sthrngary, ok spill it, the anxious masses need to know if Mrs Sthrn got through to the next round?

If you are in the Haven there are seats held back for Haven cruisers. Just tell the concierge which show you want to go to and that's the show he will hold for you. Do it on the first day and your spot will be guaranteed.

For me the decision factor is which coast is the easiest to get to?/get back from? I hate the thought of missing the cruise but I don't care if my return is delayed.

@Cap_D The Haven main pool deck is family friendly, upstairs is adults only.

Prima would be my choice for this. The Haven pool deck is completely open and family friendly, the adults only area is one deck up, still open air, but has hot tubs.

@JetswdoHaven Rep should be stood right next to the Haven Concierge desk in the Haven Lounge area when you are first escorted on board. She can be sorting out your list while you are having your "Welcome Aboard" Cocktail !

I have never been able to prebook spa treatments. Once aboard, in the Haven area, there is a representative from the spa making appointments. I give her my list of wishes and have her leave a confirmation in my cabin of the appointments. Extremely easy and time saving.

American Diner : Quinoa and Kale salad and the Red Beet and Watermelon salads with either Shrimp or Chicken . Really good, and it's why I go there if it's available on the first day. Both of these are really well done and not available anywhere else.

No smoking anywhere on the ship during refueling, but it doesn't take long, two hours or so.

As soon as you get on board, there is usually a table for booking the Mandara Spa. Make your appointment on that first day for a treatment on GSC. Make sure to specify that you want it at the Silver Cove Spa.

YES!! If you book a treatment at the Spa on GSC you have access to the buffet and bar in Silver cove, some chairs and umbrellas on Silver Cove Beach, the hot tub next to the Spa, the showers in the Spa building and to the MOET bar. You will need to have the upgraded drink package to get the drinks "for free" (lol) or pay the upcharge. Once you get on to GSC you will see a cabana with Silver Cove written on it, go there to get a wristband for Silver Cove access and they will have someone take you to the Spa in a golf cart. Oh! and don't tell everybody, it's our little secret .....🤣

After having worked in the restaurant business for many years I can attest to this.A fixed menu means each sous becomes an expert in their assigned dish and it comes out better than something that is made rarely.
