Cool Cruiser (2/15)

What airport did JB say the bag was at in the DR? They don’t fly into La Romana. 4 other airports in the DR, yes, but not La Romana. They *do* however fly to Aruba and Curaçao. If their customer service for lost baggage is anything like their crew services then it’s truly a crapshoot whether you get someone competent on the other end of the line. Regardless, this is an airline issue as it is their responsibility to ensure baggage is transported and delivered. Just because NCL booked the flight doesn’t mean they’re liable for any airline-specific issues unless you can prove it was NCL’s fault that the bag never left FLL on the date you sailed.

BunnyHutt started following Port or starboard ? sailing from Rome

I look forward to your feedback! Bestie and I are doing this itinerary (or very similar) in late October on Prima. We’ve got a port side balcony booked but now I’m more concerned with paying attention to sunset times when considering excursions… will enjoy lesser crowds, cooler temps and lower prices, but that comes with less daylight.

Yep! I’ve been keeping my TA busy.

Bestie and I are on Prima in late October to Italy/Greece. Booked a Club Balcony back in September for a fare we were comfortable with. For kicks, I did a mock booking last weekend and found that fares had dropped. I moved us into a family suite w/master (SJ) for what I considered to be a very reasonable up charge from our original fare based on increased size and amenities. Yes, I am aware of balcony/slide issues and chose cabin accordingly. Was bored this morning and checked prices again. Down $350/pp from last weekend. As of right now, we’re paying $450/pp more for SJ on a 10-night cruise than we were originally planning on for a club room. The ginormous leap in price for Haven, however, still not worth it. 😆

A Compilation of Non-Haven Suite Information for Prima and Viva
BunnyHutt replied to Sammae's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Oldish thread, I know, but your post gave me the push to book 15196 on Prima this fall. Thank you! 🙂 -
In reading the OP, it sounds like they are cruise veterans and were anticipating noise… at normal performance/practice times. However, this is a unique circumstance in that it’s prepping a new show. That said, I don’t disagree with the cruise line that an entire production takes precedence over a couple of disgruntled passengers. I know it comes across as heartless, but it’s the big picture. Would you be satisfied if the amount that was offered as FCC was given as a refund instead? I guess that could be your next request.

Yup. I don’t think any there’s any intro to law or business law class that *doesn’t* cover this case. Regarding NCL’s advertising practices, it’s no different than JC Penney’s never ending “biggest sale of the year”, Kay Jeweler’s “MSRP may not have resulted in actual sales” or Kohl’s math saying I saved $300 on a $20 item.

As I think others have said, they really just need to say that you’re getting half off the cost of the certs. Period. The rep originally got me and my bestie by saying we could each apply 2 certs on our next cruise (we share(d) a cabin and stated that we were already planning on booking another cruise in a club balcony). When I read the T&C’s and saw that I could only apply 2 per cabin, I immediately when back to the desk. She was like “I said you could each apply 2 on your own staterooms.” Yeah, no. I had her change my purchase to only 2 certs at a net cost of $250. I don’t cruise enough to want extras just hanging out to be used at some nebulous point in time.

Not the person you asked the question to, but I would guess that maybe because you already know what needs to be done/what documentation is required so it just feels like a smoother process. Our now 15 and 17 YO’s have had current passports since before they turned 1. I’m bummed that the last ‘youth’ one they got/will be getting were before the age of 16 - at that point they become good for 10 years versus 5. Now Global Entry, *that* was exponentially easier the second go-round for all of us. Approved/renewed within 48 hours of application with no interview required. 🙌🏻

Here’s what I learned when the price dropped on our cruise about 4 weeks out from sail date - if the promos aren’t the same, it’s not an apples to apples comparison. Now maybe I’m wrong, but that’s the way our TA explained it. I think for us, even though we didn’t use it, the ‘gotcha’ was the airfare deal. Our TA did ask if there was a cabin we wanted to try to upgrade to based on the listed prices versus what we paid. There was not, so that was as far as I took it. Bottom line, we were happy enough with the price when we booked it. Never hurts to try for credit when/if the price goes down, but there’s no point in getting upset if it doesn’t happen.

Passport requirement for upcoming cruise
BunnyHutt replied to parachutes63's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You need an appointment to get a real ID?? At our BMV, we just fill out a form and show the appropriate supporting docs when going in for license issuance/renewal. Either way, it’s mailed to us a couple of weeks later. -
Passport requirement for upcoming cruise
BunnyHutt replied to parachutes63's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
When I submitted my application for Global Entry renewal earlier this week, it asked if I had an EDL. When I clicked the little “help” button, the description made me think they were one and the same so I clicked “yes.” I’m in Ohio. Oops. Clearly CBP didn’t care because I’ve already received my approval, no interview needed. 😆 -
Long time NCL cruiser. AWEFUL EXPERIENCE!
BunnyHutt replied to compfixer's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I’m guessing “college-aged”‘ doesn’t necessarily mean “in college.” He does mention her working 60-hour weeks in advance of this trip. Which is why I think he may think clarifying her age justifies the situation. -

Yep, I was just giving a potential excuse for not having one when she was younger. -

I find it interesting that the OP (who I’m guessing is well into his 30’s) mentioned the fact that his girlfriend is “college-aged” like this gives her a pass. It does not. My HS-aged sons are currently on their 3rd and 4th passports. Both had their first ones before they were 1. I got my first passport at 15 and have had a current one for 30+ years. Unless there were some custody issues that prevent on both parents being present for a passport appointment, there’s no reason for the GF not to have one. Especially if she’s been several cruises (as OP also mentions her NCL status). She’s an adult. Time to do some adulting.
