The letter in part states -

While your offer has not been selected yet, you may still be selected for an upgrade by our onboard team.

So, it's a wait and see. I really don't think we will be selected.

Sorry it's an upgrade for a 2 bedroom H6. 

Yesterday's Email on 11/4 sailing on the Getaway, 15-day cruise, out of NYC.

So, i guess it's a wait and see,

Golly, I've stayed in the Haven four times, soon to be five and never come close to $1,000/day/per person. Actually, I've never paid more than $400/day/per person. I suppose if I was paying $1,000 I'd expect the Premium Plus package too. Yikes!! 

 

But, I know it's possible...this guy wants to retire at some point in the next thirty years though! 

More power to you.

We recently sailed on the Joy to Bermuda. This was our most expensive (per night) cruise and we paid 1,000 per night in the Haven. Our 5th cruise in the Haven.  Looking forward to more Havens in the future. 

For us the best experience of the Moderno is the salad bar. 

Assorted fine Cheeses, Italian Cole cuts (if I can characterize them as such) Sushi, etc. I always have at least 2 rounds of the Salad Bar.

And lastly, we enjoy the cooked pineapple at the end of our courses.

Not sure what specific bag @Coastalbreezes received for attaining ambassador.

As a general rule the Away luggage is considered good quality.

Here are the 3 Tote Bags on their website @ this time:

 

 

At 92 points shy of 700. Any gift will be welcomed.

Fine but should address that to someone else besides me.

My tipping philosophy is this: tip early, tip often, tip generously.

I second that philosophy whole heartedly.

On my last cruise we ordered an expensive drink in the Haven that wasn’t included in the beverage package. Left a generous tip on the slip. The bartender crossed it out and told us that money doesn’t go to him and not to waste it. We tip in cash now. 

I tip always at certain stations. One that I frequent at least once and sometimes 2 to 3 times a day I  tip 1 dollar per item ordered.  On one of my recent cruises I asked one of the servers if they share the tips with the rest of the servers at that station or are  the tips pooled between multiple stations. 

His response was - when the tips are in cash they divide the cash equally. When the tip is added to the bill they see don't see any of it.

We have never not tipped at a specialty restaurant. And I think 10 is a lowball tip IMHO. Which is what we tip. Yes it is much appreciated by the staff.

I will discuss, with the missus, on increasing the tip. 

Hi

We booked 14176 on the Joy July 30th cruise. Was looking to book  15130 but passed as it is one deck below the swimming area and was concerned with the noise. The price diff was negligible for us but our noise concern was the determining factor.

By the way we always book a  portside room when sailing to Bermuda. Just love those harbor lights at night and the view of the Governor's port never gets old.

10 to 20 dollars. 10 dollars if the trip is from pier to onboard / or from on board through customs.  

20 dollars if we were let off at the taxi stand.

Oh wow, so in Haven you can get haribos, M&S and bar mix served by butler?? 
 

I’ll chance bringing these snacks onboard and create Haven experience in an Inside cabin 😄😄😄

Good Luck

I've cruised on the Dawn several times and have had no problems. It is one of our favorite ships. 

Booked a b2b cruise from NYC - Quebec and  Quebec - NYC while on board our last cruise. Making sure that we booked the same room number on both cruises, which we did. Our booking indicated a BF-BA category status. 

We intended to use our Diamond upgrades to  MA Club Balcony Suite but was disallowed because our  BF status.  So we chose an MC cabin (same room ). Our PCC scripted a note to the upgrade team? that if the room number was not available on both legs of the b2b do not apply the Diamond Upgrades. 

   72 hours later we received conformation that we were upgraded with our choice of room on the Joy for both cruises.

Looking forward sailing on the Joy. 

We have tipped on the fist day of the cruise and the last day of the cruise. Also when we have a steward that is ending his contract we also tip him and then tip our new steward.

Spoke to the Photographers on the Gem and they said Martin is on another ship.  

Must the port charge refund be requested while  on onboard? or can it be requested after disembarkation?

Interesting

On our last cruise in the Gem in January of 22.

There was a door decorated with magnetic "Just MARRIED" with hearts flowers and cherubs. Done very well IMO. 

I also remember a small "CRUISE CRITIC" magnet on one of the room doors.

It's my impression that NCL does allow magnetic signs. But no decorations that may leave a residue or discoloration on the door.     

Looks like Breakaway fits the Oct 30 sail date to Canada

Yes I booked a cruise for Sept 1st and received an Upgrade invitation.
