It is crazy that is less than 2 days, and my November 14, 2021 Mexican Riviera on the Bliss STILL has the upgrade option available and I havent been notified that I won (Hopefully) a bid....it is ODD that it is still up as an option to bid to upgrade 2 days out...... Anyone on the Bliss this Sunday, Nov. 14, 2021 that has already won a bid???? Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry, does this quote include a nation-wide lockdown and shelter-in-place order somewhere that I don't see? This task force hasn't been formed yet, and they already have recommendations?
freaking Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder could see this coming. Biden has made it perfectly clear for those that want to see it. Keep throwing cover.....

Order those drinks that you would never pay money for at your local bar. And work your way down the bar menu.
You ROCK. Your answers are ALWAYS detail specific and concise. Keep up the great work and thank you.

did anyone that re-priced and got the 15% past guest discount also use the Caesar's rewards discount? I'm wondering if you can stack those discounts
what is the ceasars rewards discount? My wife and I regularly gamble at caesars and everyother casino....lol. We were at caesars in vegas in July. 2020

"Contingent on completion of the transactions, the Company expects to have approximately $3.5 billion of liquidity."
"When the transactions are completed, the additional liquidity alleviates management’s concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 12 months."
you do SEE what I highlighted in YOUR above quote. It is like agreeing to buying a house, getting all the documents completed, but just have not SIGNED everything at the closing office. The financing was SECURED!!!! NCL isn't going bankrupt.

Our cruise was scheduled to leave March 16th and was cancelled March 13. We put in the refund request on March 23rd. Like others we got FCC credited to our account(which we didn't ask for) while the refund waits. I didn't actually book this cruise until January 22rd which is still under 120 days so yesterday I told my credit card company everything and they have agreed to start a chargeback. They have put a hold on the funds and now NCL has 14 days to dispute my chargeback or I get my money back, if they do dispute I will need to provide more evidence. My credit card company said they it should take no longer than 15 business days to process a refund if a company agrees you are entitled to it and 90 days was too long to wait.
I honestly have no faith NCL will ever process refunds for cancelled cruises I think they may just stall and stall until they go bankrupt. One thing about this financing they got to keep it afloat, it is NOT FINALIZED. the financing could still fall through.
Gradin123, are those the grades you completed??? the financing was completed, when you wrote this, and Bankruptcy doesn't just mean close the doors. There are many different chapters and restructuring is the first. Get real!!!!

Applied in last week of March. Still nothing
Me too....i called recently and was told, Sir, it has only been 45 days or so....you still need to wait 45 more day.......UUUUGGGGHHHHH

Our cruise on the Bliss on March 15 was obviously cancelled, and after the 28th, I was able to fill out my refund request. Did so promptly, and got a CHEESY AF reply of we received your request.....no email comfirmation or any type of number, just We recieved your request reply screen after I submitted........STILL NOTHING. I have called and the lady said, well sir, you are only at about the 45 day mark, you still need to wait at least 45 more days.....*****. Horrible Customer service, and I realize it was not her doing specifically.....but I feel the company needs to better equip their employees with more legitimate information.

It will be Chapter 11 first, when that wipes out all FCC's, and bookings completely fail, then Chapter 7.
Someone will be sailing those ships, perhaps not in the way or at the price to which we have been accustomed too, but cruising will continue. NCL will be the first to fall, perhaps followed closely by RCL, CCL may very well be the only one to somewhat survive the coming massacre.
Disney would go WAYYYYY before NCL. NCL weathers this storm. Actually, all the Cruise lines survive in some way shape or form. Some may merge, that would be my guess.

Disclosure: I currently own shares with an average cost of about $19, so definitely feeling short term pain, but still holding on.
I am also at the $19 average after I bought enough to get me to the 100 share mark. Lets keep hoping and praying...LOL. Time will tell, and if we ever hit the 55ish mark, I'm up 4K with 100 OBC every cruise. works for me.

Yes indeed. This is how coronavirus has exploded from a few isolated cases, to a pandemic - people who are "healthy and willing to take chances". The sick and elderly are royally screwed by that attitude. But, hey, have a great vacation and don't think about Grandma and Grandpa.
So have you quarantined yourself for the last 14 days? What is your point? You cant live your life in a bubble. Jesus, I would imaginw right now Cruise Ships are probably cleaner than most hospitals. Like I said, I hope you enjoy your future cruise, but MTFO and let us enjoy OUR cruise. Stop fanning the flames of rumors, mystics and snake-oil salesmen. What do you know that we don't?

I shudder to think of all the passengers returning, not doing self-quarantine, and passing it on to vulnerable populations. People are DYING because of this. It's not the time to go on a cheap cruise.
Who gives A F what other cruise lines are doing. If you arent going on your cruise, so be it. Why are you rushing to ruin my vacation. My wife and I are healthy, and willing to take our chances. Move along and STOP LOOKING TO FAN THE FLAMES. Go troll somewhere else! How many people have died from the REGULAR flu.....Sheep.

Good to hear, I hope you have a fab trip!
We’re boarding the Bliss next Sunday. Any advice for a smooth check in? We don’t have any priority status (just bronze). Better to get there first thing or wait until later in the afternoon.
Are you late departing? Is it because of more time checking people in?Jude, you coming to the Meet & Greet? Slot pull? Hometown Gift Exchange??? See you next Sunday... WOOOO HOOOOO.. 7 more day!

I’m interested in this as well and am following.
We purchased priority boarding in hopes of getting Vibe passes. Hopefully it works out - need someplace calmer with the Spring Break crowds!
When are you guys traveling?
-
Anyone recently been on the Bliss and gotten Vibe Beach Passes. Where is an alternate place to purchase them besides Guest Services when we get on board? My wife and I have never gone into the VIBE but would like to try it out this upcoming cruise.....God willing we can even get them.

It might be a factor, and if there are two ships that go to the same place, it could factor into the decision.
again, if someone chooses a ship or a destination because of a burger, they have way too much money and would be waaaaay to pretentious to hang out with me.

People book certain Carnival ships because of Guys burger place all the time lol.
If they do book a cruise JUST for a burger, they are NOT VERY SMART. I think this may be your opinion, but no factual statement.

We have sailed the Epic once before, so we know the ship itself is poorly designed. However, I just read about a dozen reviews and about 10 are one star. I know there are a lot of complainers out there and have seen other ships get slammed, but this is unsettling. We sail the 26 th of this month and are hoping we have a much better experience. We have about 30 cruises under our belt and at least 10 with NCL,. We have never had a one star experience, so hopefully this will continue. We will report when we return with a detailed review.
Has anyone had a recent good experience?😎😎
I am not normally a complainer........Having said that, my wife and I had a HORRIBLE experience on the EPIC last March for St. Patricks Day (mar16-22, 2019) Here is my complaint....Embarkation was a DISASTER, after Muster Drill until the morning of Disembarkation the week of cruising was great, not fabulous, but great, and then the morning of Disembarking it turned into a ***** show again. The ship had had a bad 2 months previous to us sailing on her, and we were hoping it would have straightened out by then......however, it had not. Its almost as if the crew was so dejected by the 2 previous bad months, they were almost beat down. Not sure if they have always had problems getting on and off the ship, but for our NCL experience, the EPIC was the worst. It should not have gone as bad as it did, and when problems were noted and addressed to crew members, NOONE took action or tried to resolve ANY of the issues. I honestly thought they may be a riot or revolt trying to get off the ship because people were so disgusted and aggravated with the process. The week we were at sea or in port somewhere however the housekeeping staff and food service people were friendly and accommodating as well as casino staff. Hope that helps. Enjoy your cruise....at least you are not at work...make the most of it and enjoy!

Hi All,
Does anyone have a current list or photos of the Menus that are currently aboard the Epic. Also any Daily's you might be able to upload would be awesome...Thanks in advance. Leaving in 19 Days, and IT CANNOT COME QUICK ENOUGH!!!

Am I the only one who noticed that the card in the slot is not a regular passenger card?
I never put my passenger card in there...i put an old business card in there and leave it there for the week....Nothing unusual about that. I think probably 90+% of the cruisers do that. You actually use your Sailaway card? THAT is what is unusual...Lol

Ask Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ CEO: Call for Questions for Frank Del Rio
in Norwegian Cruise Line

Why would he. It sucked. I just came off the Prima last week. It was the same everyday for 5 days. The Hudson MDR was gorgeous, but the food and wait staff were miserable. A BIG FAIL for NCLH. Hopefully Harry cancels the rest of the ships after the Viva comes out. About 4 pros to that ship versus about 9 cons.
