Pretty much the same view as we had on the Sky for its transatlantic. Two or three times we had Alfredo's all to ourselves! LOL EXCELLENT service!

Glad to hear it! We hear way too many horror stories from people here on CC that are just not travel-savvy and think that insurance is an "I don't need it" item.

LOL!!! I have *NEVER* had this problem!

No...but he already stated he had Premier package.

Many people have posted here on CC that even though they have told their TA to mark their booking as "No Upgrade"...it still happens and it can be a real PITA to get it "undone". As far as I know...there is NO WAY to get it marked as such if you book direct online.

Probably too soon for that schedule to be released...but it should show here: https://www.southamptonvts.co.uk/Live_Information/Shipping_Movements_and_Cruise_Ship_Schedule/Cruise_Ship_Schedule/

Are you SURE you want to cancel this? Hopefully you have made some other type of trip protection...

We don't do NCL very often...we generally do Princess so not as familiar with NCL's procedures. Have just booked our 3rd NCL sailing. DW is listed as a "First Timer"...which she is not. She's done the same 2 cruises that I did. My account shows me as "Silver" and shows those 2 sailings in the history. I have already requested that her tier level be adjusted. In doing the research for my request my prior cruise confirmation emails have listed me with a different Latitudes number for all 3 cruises. This just doesn't seem right. How can they keep track if the number keeps changing? Or...am I just missing something? (Very possible! 😄)

Perhaps they do the "Day Pass" thing...

IMO...that's probably just for Australia. Have never seen that before but we've never sailed Australia yet. But then again...consider the source...

I recommend leaving the setting for WiFi Calling turned on all the time...even when not cruising. JMHO

You would probably be better served by taking a hardcopy with you. Some have posted that guest services wanted to keep that printed record...

Were you able to confirm your package?

You should definitely plan on trying "The Catch"!

Where are you located? And...did you actually place an order for the medallion in the cruise personalizer?

@Paula_MacFan beat me to it! See her post #23.

I have *always* made our reservations via the web version...have you not tried it?

I have yet to have any decent grits on a cruise ship. They are ALWAYS way too "soupy" or watery!

I don't have anything booked right now so I cannot give you "click by click" directions...but in the cruise personalizer look under the onboard services tab and/or the check in tab for the travel summary.

Skip the app! Try using the "web version" in the cruise personalizer on a desktop or laptop.

We and our traveling partners are just off the Sky on its transatlantic. We all upgraded to Premier 3 or 4 weeks before sailing. We had no trouble making our SD reservations, and we were not charged for them.

I found out that our traveling partners (2 other couples) were staying at Fare Suisse. So...I grabbed the last remaining room that they had. I know it's going to be pretty basic, but I figure we can muddle through most anything if we have companions to commiserate with! 😄 Thanks for your suggestions!

Budget is not a *huge* concern...don't want to go crazy but not opposed to a decent hotel. NOT looking for a Motel 6! I guess my main concern would be ease of getting to the property from the airport and then getting to the ship. Have never been to the area so I don't know what I don't know!

Have just booked a cruise that embarks from Papeete. I have air already booked and will need a hotel for 2 nights. Any recommendations?

I would think that it would depend on Standard, Plus or Premier.
