There is a glass elevator in the Haven area between the lounge and pool area that goes from 17 up to 19.

Not necessarily, you are allowed to share internet with as many people as you want with only one sign on at a time. If someone leaves the cabin they have no internet since the router is using the sign on. The router is the one signed on using the internet regardless if those in the vicinity can access it. You can hotspot with your phone on land and it is perfectly legal. The drink package is whole different type of purchase and can only be used by one person so yes, getting drinks for someone else without the package is a form of stealing but definitely not equal. I am not technologically advanced so I couldn’t do this but I don’t see it as stealing.

I think it takes persistence and lots of luck. Check prices daily and book when you are comfortable with the price you find. My one and only time in the Haven this past month I had already booked and fully paid for a club balcony suite then I watched the prices daily until I found a price I was willing pay. It actually seemed less painful to just pay to upgrade after final payment than to start out looking at a large amount due. I actually upgraded twice as the prices fell and ended up in a two bedroom. The Haven Cabins sold out shortly after I upgraded for the last time at about 85 days out so once the price dropped they sold out pretty fast.

I have Covid too from the September 10th Escape cruise. I didn’t test positive until yesterday but had allergy symptoms since September 19th. I have no one to blame but myself since I did not take any precautions on board. So far it is pretty mild but since this is my 3rd time getting it I know it can get worse at any point. I did try to get my booster on September 1 but was denied by CVS since I only qualified for the new vaccine out on September 20th. I credit get boosted last May two weeks before my cruise for being the only one of the 4 in my cabin who did not come home sick.

Booked my own flight on American and sat at the Pittsburgh airport all day, flight cancelled at 7:45 tonight (kept delaying). Quick change of plans, leaving at 2am and driving to port. Had to book parking and too late to cancel hotel for tonight. This is turning into a very expensive trip since I used frequent flyer miles for the flight it wasn’t costing too much to get there but the hotel was expensive and I still have to pay for it. The annoying thing was when I called to cancel the hotel they wanted to charge me more than I paid for the room so I checked in online and I am only paying what I booked the room at. Doesn’t make sense since they could have resold the room if I cancelled and I just paid what I booked at. Oh well, I hope we make it in time.

My husband and I will be on this cruise. Steelers0854, you seem to be the perfect person to ask. My husband is worried about missing the Steeler game. Any idea on where he can watch the game? We have unlimited internet but not streaming so doubt we can stream. I would consider upgrading if necessary but wanted to see if you have any information.

If I broke up with my husband every time he can't or won't go on a vacation with me I would have been divorced a long time ago. I still go but normally with my sister or one of my adult children. I happen to have 6 weeks vacation every year so it is easy for me to go on multiple trips with and without him. I wouldn't break up with her unless it is more than just this that is an issue. My advice is go on your trip and ask if she would like to join you someday in the future. You could have fun planning a trip with her that includes her son at a time that works for her life. She is being a responsible mother and employee which is a good trait and nothing to be upset about. Good luck!

Casinos at Sea basically a discount that you pay an upgrade fee to go to a higher category but no matter what you pay for it either by losing $2000 on one cruise and the getting a discount on the next one. My last cruise in 2022 I ended up losing about $2500 in the casino, not sure how much I played though the machines but I received a free oceanview that i upgraded to a Haven 2 bedroom for my Sept 10th Escape New England/ Canada cruise. All in with free at sea and dsc is about $6,500 for 2 people. I also booked my own flights with frequent flyer miles. I think I probably saved about the $2500 I lost. Now if you don’t enjoy the casino it doesn’t really make sense to dump money in the machines or at the tables just for a discount. I don’t plan to do a lot of gambling on this cruise because my husband doesn’t gamble so I probably won’t get many offers after this one.

You may be correct but mine definitely did not work that way, when I called for the last time after final payment for the two bedroom they used the current oceanview price plus my upgrade I already paid to figure it out verbally on the phone. Prior to final payment they just rebooked for me when I went from oceanview to club balcony then to penthouse suite. I would have to find all my invoices to know for sure but honestly I don’t know the prices of the oceanview at each time I changed. I know the $1849 was really high and only stayed that way for a week or so. Today the price is $1049 which is more in line with what recall at original booking but they are guarantees and we are 24 days from the cruise. Maybe I just got lucky

I believe it is the difference in price between of the cabin you were given for "free" and the cost of the cabin you are booked in for CSA pricing purposes to determine how much an upgrade will cost. I always watch to see how much the difference is between the two cabin prices, but I have never actually repriced after final payment, I have however, upgraded to a higher category for a lower price than it would have been at the original booking. Most times when there are prices drops both categories drop so there is not much of a difference but every now and then it will work out in your favor. On my September cruise I had upgraded to a Haven Penthouse Suite but a couple weeks later after final payment the oceanview I was given given for "free" dramatically raised in price ($1849 pp) so the Haven two bedroom was only $60.00 per person more than I paid for the penthouse suite upgrade. I called and upgraded for $120 total. Interestingly enough, the minimum bid price if I submitted a bid from penthouse suite to two bedroom was $600 per person.

I also lost the extra 2 points promo when I undegraded for my September cruise, however, the promo was still showing active on the app when I did the price check and called to rebook. When I upgraded the Casino at Seas Rep told me I would not lose any promos but I noticed when they emailed me the invoice that I did. I looked on my laptop and it was not available anymore then tried the app again and it still showed up. So I called and they told me to send the screenshot from my phone but the promo was over and not much they can do. I sent the screenshot and figured I would never hear back. A week later they apologized, reinstated my promo and gave me a $100 obc. Obviously it was a technical glitch but it worked in my favor.

I am not a big Starbucks fan but I actually collect the mugs when I travel. Originally I was buying them for my daughter because she collects them but then I started to buy two every where I went. I was excited to see this until I found out that they will not be selling the mugs for the Escape which I will be on in September. My husband, however will be happy because every time I buy one he says we don't need another coffee mug, which is true since I am running out of room to store them.

I have asked the good ones if I can use them and they always say the are incoming calls only. I started cruising NCL through my home casino and finally called and asked to be switched to Casinos at Sea because my casino went MSC and I enjoyed the NCL cruises so I have only been direct with them for 2 years. I still work for a living so I only cruise once a year because I enjoy other types of vacations as well so I still do Las Vegas and a beach vacation every year.

I am glad it worked out for you. I feel better booking direct. Normally I bid and obsess over getting the cabin I want that I end up raising my bid to amounts I am not really comfortable with just to win. Luckily I always lost, probably would have paid more than I could have upgraded for if I did it before they sold out.

They changed the insider offer. However, if I look at cruises on Ncl on my phone it still exists for some cruises but on a computer it is gone for the same ones. IT glitch I assume.
