Changes in buffet hours - when did this happen?
Zippeedee replied to JanetAtSea's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I don’t do mornings at home, never mind on vacation. I was the last person skidding into the Local at 10:55 to get a pastry basket and coffee. I don’t eat lunch and stop by the buffet around 3 for a snack. My way isn’t your way but that doesn’t mean your way is the only way.- 197 replies

I agree with you but I would have been happier if they kept Ponta Delgado. Switching to the northern route was COLD! I walked outside from the spa to the buffet one morning and my wet hair froze!

I took the guided tour and river cruise a few years ago with the Breakaway. I’d been to Paris a few times so this tour was a nice refresher. You get a good view of the Eiffel Tower from both the bus and the river. The river cruise included a superb lunch with wine flowing. I thought it was worth the cost. You might want to take a look at the Ports board for more recent reviews.

I have a mason jar cold brew thing. Never thought to pack it before but it will just need my coffee and bottled water. Hmmmm.

Thoughts on taking entire pizzas from the buffet
Zippeedee replied to OrangeCatRamblers's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
The woman who tried that with the warm tea time scones on my cruise got my elbow and and me stating “there’s a line”. She gave me dirty looks whenever she saw me around the ship but it was worth it. -
I posted this on the wrong thread, so repeating here…I haven’t seen anyone else mention this, so maybe they have changed since I was on the Epic. The beds pull out from under the headboard. That makes them much more comfortable to sleep on. Just push them back ( or ask your steward) to make more space during the day.

Extremely Frustrated with my NCL credit card so far
Zippeedee replied to Smitheroo's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
There is a Rewards section on the Bank of America/NCL card website. Once you have enough points to cash in, it is a simple process to convert them to cash on your account. If you haven’t seen it, there is a huge FAQ thread here with all of the explanations and answers about the NCL credit card. It is the first post pinned at the top of this section. -
They were pouring the Duc on my Getaway cruise in 2019. The bottles in the theater were turned with the label to the back. I started asking to see the bottle every time I ordered Prosecco after that undrinkable experience.

Extremely Frustrated with my NCL credit card so far
Zippeedee replied to Smitheroo's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Don’t cash in points for onboard credit. Use your card on the ship, get 3 points per dollar spent, then cash in for credit towards your card balance. -
One thing no one mentions is insurance. My last two cruises (before 2020) had ports dropped or changed and my trip insurance paid for all of them. At some point they reduced the covered amounts, likely because it is happening often, but I received $500 each time. Good insurance isn’t cheap but it can be priceless when you need it.

It depends on the route as well as the weather. My first TA stopped in the Azores and we had beautiful weather so I was outside a lot. My second TA was rerouted to the northern route which took us off the coast of Greenland. I walked outside from the Thermal spa to the buffet and my wet hair froze. Lesson learned!

Many tourism related businesses in coastal Maine towns close in the winter. I drove through York and Ogunquit today and many shops and restaurants are closed. Parking spaces open on Route 1 are a lucky find in the summer.

As an NCLH stockholder, granted just the basic 100 shares to get OBC variety, all I can say is huh? Explanation please.

I was on that cruise too. Every time I read a complaint about a missed port or late arrival from someone who thinks they are the first and only “victim” of such things I just laugh.

It’s gone? That’s really saving $1.50, things must be bad.

That stuff they put in your cabin as a loyalty “reward”.

NCL - Now you see it, now you don't!

This sounds like something Elliott Advocacy could help with. Elliott.org -
Thanks Bird! What did you think of the dressing room area? Would you do a cold weather cruise on the Prima?

This is my concern. Still trying to decide if it makes sense for me. I’m booked on the last Southampton cruise to Norway and Iceland at the end of September. It seems like my balcony and all outside seating will be too cold. I’m also stunned by the posts stating breakfast closes at 9:30 in the buffet and 10 everywhere else. Is this true? I’m not a morning person at home or on vacation! I also haven’t read great reviews of the thermal spa, where I would hang out on sea days if I can’t be outside. What to do… what to do?

Breakaway has Elon Musk's Starlink internet already?
Zippeedee replied to fstuff1's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
There is another thread. They are currently testing it Monday the Breakaway.
