When you make the reservation it will show 0$. I think I had to go to my cart and confirm or something.

I might be inclined to pass on Teppanyaki. Other than that I am so jealous.

I'm not sure where you saw a picture of the bathroom with just a shower, but when I checked videos they all seemed to have the shower tub combo. Believe me, that will be an issue for you getting in and out of the shower. Other than that it's a really nice stateroom.  You should call  or email the accessdesk@ncl.com 

866.584.9756. 

On the bidding pages the SC class showed just a shower. I even mentioned that to the person changing my reservation and she didn't state that it was a shower/tub combination. Kind of bummed out about this. I don't think anything can be done about it now. Thanks for the info you guys. I appreciate it.

I checked about a week ago and prices had dropped a bit. It was after final payment so I decided to upgrade to an SC cabin. I have 2 questions. How do you know if you are getting the actual cabin category as from what I saw your choice was "best available" and we were assigned 14168 on the Joy. Second question is, ( I know you will think I am obsessed) I had originally put an upgrade bid on the SC category and the pictures showed it having just a shower. When you go look at it on the reservation it shows a tub/shower combo. I much prefer just the shower as my husband has several artificial joints as well as back issues and I must admit I am no spring chicken and have a hard time with their tub side heights. Has anyone been in this stateroom that can give me reassurance that I didn't make a grave mistake?

I wouldn't hesitate. It seems Omicron is not nearly as devastating as delta especially if you have had the booster and you have insurance. If the cruise gets canceled just enjoy Seattle for the week.

and also while sleeping...I heard. 

If I didn't know better I would bet you were an antivaxxer. That being said I heard, I believe this morning, that the new variant "Omicron" shares much of the same DNA as the common cold. So I wonder if it is going to basically be no worse than such.

Please forgive me but I have honestly searched as much as I could bear for the answer to whether the club balcony suite has a shower or a tub/shower combo. Deck 11 midship if it matters. I am so hoping for no tub.

Are you sure that you'll have to pay if you just go to a local place prior to the cruise?  Mine was free at CVS.

I will look for free. And fast seeing that it has to be within 48 hours. Thanks

Congratulations as you seem to be in the minuscule minority.   Did you previously reprice with the prior promotion?   

I believe I booked when it was the 30% forever deal with the extra points and that I had rebooked from the prior 30% off with no extra points and saved about 50 dollars if I recall correctly. So yes I am happy. On the same token they are getting half of it back by no longer testing for free at embarkation. I will have to pay them or someone 2 days prior.

yay!!! I rebooked mine and saved 400 dollars. lost my 3x points but that wouldn't help me out at this point.

If your cruise is far enough out you can just remove whoever is traveling with you. I think you still have till 61 day from cruising to cancel with 100% refund. Worst case scenario it is 121 days out.

I think I read somewhere that the club balcony suites from the 10th floor up have just the shower. 9 down has bathtub/shower combo.

Do you get a chance for the upgrade email if you booked through a travel agent?  I'm considering transferring my booking to a TA, but won't if it means I can't try for an upgrade.

I, up until this year, have always used a TA and have gotten invitations to upgrade. So yes ,you may.

If it is luggage tags I would think that would be a smart move on NCL's part. Any time save with boarding under the circumstances is an advantage. At least for those that wait until they are at port to have their luggage tagged.

yeah. Heineken 0 which my husband says is good. He also likes the taste of beer, which for the life of me I will never understand. LOL

Hmmm. If she booked sail away she could wind up anywhere. If she booked the cabin adjoining yours she paid a little more and your room and hers should be set in stone. Of course this is just my opinion and could be very very wrong.

I will be more specific.  Lets say I am onboard and crave a spicy peach margarita from Q.  Can I go in and just order that, or do I have to order an appetizer in order to be "dining" to order the drink?

LOL Sorry about that. You wouldn't have had to get more specific had I read your post more carefully.

your drinks will be covered in the specialty restaurants. I don't think it covers flights like in the mojito bar

YES this too. Like I get it, we all want a prime seat, but have some dignity. One time in observation deck, my husband got up to go to the bathroom, lady comes over to me and says "Is this seat saved"...so I said nooo you can sit here...have to practice what I preach after all. When my husband came back, he's like "WHAT" and I'm like "we can't be chair hogs" and I got up and said "Lets do something else or find two seats available together" 

 

 

I have to disagree with you there. If I get up to use the bathroom I expect my chair to be left alone till I get back. It would be one thing if your husband took off to grab lunch for the two of you but the bathroom?

Every ship we have been on has the single cup coffee makers in the balcony suites. The one with the little pillow looking thing. Not K-cups.

I had an acquaintance who contracted COVID right as he was set to begin a new job. New job required him to test negative to start. After weeks of testing positive again and again, he tried nasal lavage or netti pot and then tested negative. Yes, it could have been that enough time finally passed but I will be bringing my machine to wash after the flight and before the test! 

But what if it is beyond your nose? What if you are asymptomatic and make someone sick who's vaccine happens to be of the 5%? I wish they would give an antibody test instead.

The last cruise we took was to Alaska and Ketchikan was great. I absolutely will not book any cruise line that doesn't dock right there in Ketchikan after reading all of this info. Odds are NCL will wise up to the mistake they made with this one unless they build a high speed rail or help develop the area.

I'm sure it is a money saving decision, but if there are no kids sailing <12 due to vaccination requirements, wouldn't it make sense to adjust the ages for now and make a 12-14 group and a 15-17 group? As a HS teacher, I can tell you there is a HUGE difference between most 12 yo and 17 yo. 

I agree. I would be way more comfortable with a 13 yr old being among 10-14 than 15-17.

I know they asked for my ins provider when I registered and made an appointment with a drive thru station to be vaccinated. I am pretty sure my insurance now has a record of my vaccination because if you have insurance they did to my understanding pay something toward the vaccine. That doesn't mean ships would have access to that info though.

Take another picture of yourself on your computer making sure that your eyes are visible. Then you should be able to save that picture as a screen shot or to a file. Pay attention to where the file is located ( photos, desktop, downloads etc). Now when you go to the NCL site where you put your picture click upload new and you should be able to find the location you put the picture. Double click it and it should upload to the NCL site. Other than that just click on the camera and it should take your picture and put it there  for you.
