Love those golf carts in Bonaire!
Grab some snorkel gear and hit as many place as you can 🤗

Big mistake not to insure every cruise, at least for medical evacuation. Even on a Caribbean cruise a medical evacuation back to the U.S. could cost $35K or more. 

I so agree! Especially about the Evac
We always  have travel insurance and had to use it for the first time three weeks ago when my husband came down with a virus Friday before our Saturday cruise

He was pretty sick

You just never know

With insurance we will be refunded all of the money paid. 

We were suppose to be on this weeks cruise but my husband became I’ll at the last minute 

Our friends are onboard, which is Feb vacation week for many states

He said the ship is packed everywhere 

Pool is crowded and loud

Had to search just for some peace and quiet

I did warn him when he picked this week

A ship that large should have more than one pool! 

With the cutbacks and such, all that I have have be reading I think we are done with NCL

Back to Celebrity or Princess 

Our son had his assigned the day after booking 😊

They booked about a month out

@janetz I hope your husband is feeling better. 
 

When you cancel a cruise at the very last minute (or anytime within the 100% penalty period), NCL will refund all of your pre-paid, non-cruise-fare expenses, such as the service charges for the FAS beverage package and specialty dining package, taxes and port fees, shorex, the daily service charge if you pre-paid it, etc. 

 

Assuming you have travel insurance and had to cancel for a covered reason (which seems the case here), that should take care of your cruise fare. 

Hopefully 😊 Thank you

We Never had to cancel a cruise before

He is a very young, active 81 and rarely gets ill

So you cancelled a vacation for four (or more) because somebody had a 24 hour thing?

My husband is still ill…

He had a fever yesterday 

Are  we suppose to try and get on a ship while he most likely has a virus?

Yes, when we saw his doctor the fever was not there and he felt ok at that time, just tired 

We will see what happens 😊

Thank you 😊

He did see the doctor before we cancelled as I stated 

He did see he doctor on Friday, after being sick on Thursday

He was pretty good Friday

Doctor told him to go unless he spiked a fever, etc

After midnight Saturday, he spiked a fever again and still had it early this morning 

So he did see his doctor and we will be bringing him some paperwork to fill out

So the process is started and he is still feeling lousy 

Have not cruised since right before Covid

Our friends flew down from Mass to meet us at port, we were all so excited 

Such a disappointment but better to be home then be onboard 

Thanks all
 

The TA took care of it

My husband became ill last night around suppertime.

He was running a fever and a few other things

Cruise was today so we had to cancell and of course no one to notify until talking to the TA finally at 10:30 this am

So yes, a no show.

We have insurance and hopefully will be ok 

How can you do the 72 hour thing when you get sick at the last minute? 
First cruise in many we have had to cancel

Suppose to sail the Bliss today with friends from up north

My husband has come down with a virus and we will have to cancel 

So bummed

Our TA does not open till 10

My question, do we call NCL or have the TA do it? 
Thanks ahead 

How is the health questionnaire handled now?

Still filing out a form?

Thanks ahead 😊

No shows opened ahead of time for our Bliss cruise this weekend 

To be done once we board 😊

Paying at the Miami port…as you leave?

Or can you pay ahead?
Thanks 😊

Very low key airport 😊

RCCL is 25.00 per day

I called NCL and they added it for us and sent me a confirmation 

😊

Joining you this weekend!! 

Thinking about it, I believe they marked the best spots on the map they give out for my husband 😊

I wish I could tell you exactly

We just stopped where it looked easy to get to.

It was quite an adventure 😊

Great time with the carts!
Bring your snorkel gear and stop and explore 

There are many great spots 😊

Thanks everyone 

Think we are going to skip it

Not like renting in Bonaire where you can drive most of the island 😊

We have had our Travelpro, soft side spinners for 7 years.

Love them

Still looking very good and we do travel. 😊

Where did you hear that ?

We sail the Bliss after you

Shows are not available to book

It says to book once onboard 😊

Have a great cruise!!

I never saw it offered on my NCL app for our sailing a week from this Saturday 

so I wonder if it will be onboard

Is it even worth the money?
