Since your ship will be departing from Berth 46 NCL is correct...they can't put anything else in your e docs .

I think you'll find that you can't go to Berth 46 on your own and the driver of any vehicle that is transporting you will be directed to go to the main Berth 92/93 complex....however that isn't from personal experience but rather my reading into what other cruisers have said...but I could be misinterpreting.

 

We went from Berth 46 recently. Got dropped off there by taxi, ni problem. Lots of cars and buses letting people off there. 
I gave the specific address and berth number to the taxi driver but he took us to the main terminal anyway. He said Berth 46 doesn’t exist. Finally we managed to get him to go to the correct berth. 

We are currently on Norwegian Joy. Is it possible to buy Speciality Dining Package when on the ship, or can they only be bought prior to the cruise? (We are on day 7 of our 15 day cruise).

Thank you!

I am on an NCL cruise from LA to Miami on the Joy leaving Jan 6, 2023. I just learned that it will leave from Berth 46 instead of the Cruise Terminal's berths 92 or 93.

We will be on the same cruise. Where can I find info about which berth the ship will leave from? (I know you said berth 46, but can I actually see that somewhere in my booking or elsewhere?)

Will be taking a taxi to the port - do we need to specify to the driver what berth our ship will leave from? Or is there only one drop off area?

I have the 300 min internet package. My husband upgraded to unlimited wi-fi since he will need it for some work stuff. But how does that all work? Is it on one device at a time, so that I could log in on my phone to use the unlimited wi-fi while he is not using it? Or will his unlimited wi-fi be exclusively connected to his phone only?

I have made some dining reservations for our upcoming cruise and it all worked fine. But when I tried yesterday and also today to do some additional bookings it just doesn't work. I can select restaurant, date and time and add it to cart. And I see a number on the cart, indicating that there is something in it. But when I go to cart it is empty. Anyone else experiencing the same problem?

Hi! We’re going with Norwegian Joy from LA through Panama Canal to Miami in January. Anyone done that trip and know if we need to have Yellow Fever vaccine prior to our cruise? Thank you. 

I know you don’t have to, but we like to make dinner reservations in advance - even for the main dining room. But I can only find Manhattan available online. Can’t we make reservations for Savor and Taste?

We like to have a Gin & Tonic and I see that there’s a difference in what sort of gin you can have, depending on what drink package you have.

We have the Premium so could have a G&T with Bombay Sapphire. With Premium Plus we could get Hendrick’s.

But to make some calculation if it will feel like it’s worth it to upgrade to Premium Plus: what is the actual price difference between the two sorts of gin mentioned?

(No, we will not only drink g&t but you have to start somewhere).

Any insights in drinks process for Premium and Premium Plus would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!

We have booked cabin 12188 on Norwegian Joy. Looking at the deck plans now, I can see that it is very close to the stairs. But I can’t figure out if there is actually a wall between our cabin door and the stairs or if it is just som sort of railing so that it’s more or less open. Mostly thinking about how noisy it will be.

Anyone who knows? 
Thank you!

Thank you all. We are a party of 4 and like to eat early, so looks like there won’t be an issue. But also good to know that it will be possible to book MDR. One person in our group has a special condition so need to eat at pretty regular times. 

How does the NCL Freestyle Dining work?

Can we book a table (in main diningroom) in advance? Or able to book when on the ship? Or is it just all ’drop in’ and not possible to make reservations?

We have been on 3 previous cruises, all with Celebrity (2 on Reflection, 1 on Edge). Now we wanted to go on a cruise through the Panama Canal. Only option for our dates looks to be with Norwegian Joy.

Anyone done both Celebrity and Norwegian and can give some thoughts: Do you think we will apprectiate Joy? What is the best about Joy in your opinion?

Thank you!

Thank you. I will call them tomorrow.

There is no longer a dedicated site for Sweden (.se). When you go to Celebritycruises.com you are automatically re-directed to Celebritycruises.com/se

All prices were quoted in SEK. 

I'm in Sweden and tried two times now to book a cruise on Equinox Nov 7, 2021. I start at the offer for Summer Double Savings and then go through the entire process. I can select a Sky Suite and I am given the correct summary and can enter passanger details, credit card no, etc. After the final step of booking I get a page saying that a confirmation has now been sent to my e-mail address. But I never get one. I see the correct summary for my booking on screen but also a red text: 'E-price/promotion not eligible'.

Anyone familiar with this? If the promotion is not eligible, then why do they let me go through the whole process for both reservation and payment before telling me? And why is the promotion not eligible? Do I have a booking or not? (Can''t call Celebrity until tomorrow, so trying here first...maybe someone have a clue to what is wrong?)

Vitamin Water was available at the bar in Oceanview Cafe on Equinox.

The Edge also has more cruisers on board.  If you like more people the ship is for you.

 

Can´t say there is much of a difference in the number of passengers between Edge and S-class. Equinox has 2 850 passengers, Reflection 3 046 and Edge is in the middle with 2 918 passengers.

With a difference of only 68 passengers (Equinox vs Edge), surley that can't be noticed in a total of almost 3 000?

On Edge now, dining in one of the main dining roms. The sommelier is way too stressed. We specifically told him, when he poured us Prosecco to start the dinner, that we want one wine for the starter and another for the main course. He said he would be back. But he hadn’t turned up yet, as we finished the starters.

The second night was just as bad. Why have a sommelier if they can’t get to do their job? I think of a sommelier as someone with knowledge. Not someone to simply pour the wine. I want someone to suggest the best wine for the food I want. 
 

Last night, after we complained by the manager, the sommelier was prepared. He said he had now gone through the menu (don’t they always?) and had a suggestion for a wine that would ’go with everything’.

Why can’t the waiter just take food AND wine order? 
 

What are your experience with sommeliers in main dining room?

Doing Celebrity Edge to Key West. Is it easy  to get around town? Is it walkable as you get off the ship or need of bus or taxi to get to town?

And also - would love help on how to take is to Hemmingway house. 
 

Thank you!

Thank you for your quick replies. Not really fake e-mails then. Just annoying. 
But a bit strange that the person at Celebrity had no idea and wanted to take it further to their security department.

We’re on Edge on Jan 5. One of our friends going with us got an e-mail today that looked to be from Celebrity. It had her complete name, ship and departure date.

The  e-mail said that ”your ship leaves soon and you’re not on it” and a button to click: ”Complete booking”. When clicking, you got to a page to select the number of staterooms you want.

But they have a booking, and they have checked in and they have printed their x-press passes.

Called Celebrity and they confirmed everything OK with their booking. Celebrity did not understand the e-mail our friend had got and asked for it to be forwarded to them so they could take it with the security departement.

Anyone else experienced this?

Thank you, Crewsweeper. But what is the tram?And it will go from inside the actual port 'village'? Easy to find it?

We´re doing a B2B on Edge in January and will have the same stateroom for the entire duration. I have read somewhere that we will get a letter in our stateroom the last night, telling us where to meet (everyone doing B2B) and be escorted off the ship to then re-enter.

Just a question about this - will Celebrity automatically know that we will be on for one week and than go for the next week too? Or do we have to give notice to someone? (I know to tell the stateroom attendant that we will be staying for another week, but was more asking in regards to the actual re-boarding process).

Wanting to go to Yaya Beach (or just the beach in Mahahual in general). Is it easy to find a taxi at the port in Costa Maya? And most important - will it be easy to find a taxi to get back from the beach to the ship? 

Arriving at MIA and need to get a transport from airport to our hotel in Fort Lauderdale. We are a party of 6 and all will have 1 large suitcase each. Any way we can pre-book transport?

Thank you! We clearly missed something when we did the check in. Gone through it again now, and was able to obtain the  Xpress passes now.
