  1. NCL does not have boats they have ships. Spa passes can and often do sell out. Pre-purchasing will avoid that. If you do buy ahead of time then get upgraded to the spa cabin you can cancel onboard and it will be refunded to your on board account.
  2. Why would they? NCL never states anywhere that any spefic type or brand of alcohol would be available.
  3. First World Problem. Drink something else...
  4. We found it to be a waste of money and that was at the old much cheaper price. it was a nice place to hang out and all but way over priced!
  5. 1st there are no 'tips' to pre-pay. 2nd you cam pre-pay the DSC (Daily Service Charge) if you so choose. IT is a matter of personal preference. 3rd as far as tipping the ONLY correct answer is to tip whomever you want, however much you want, at any time you want.
  6. The question was about connecting cabins not adjoining.
  7. Any winnings of any amount by a US citizen is subject to federal (and in most cases) state income taxes. The entity running the contest will send the winner a W-9 at year end if the value of the winnings are over a certain amount or (typically in the case of a casino) the odds of winning are above a certain threshold. . The winner does not provide the W-9. The winner may be request for SSN, etc so that the other party can properly fill out the W-9 at the end of the year. NOTE getting or not getting a W-9 has zero impact on the requirement for the winner to list the winning on the current years tax forms. However most people will not list non w-9 winning especially of minimal amounts. NOTE: Total gambling losses can be claimed up to the amount of total gambling winnings each year (no rollover) which is why people normally do not claim minimal winnings even though by tax law they are required to do so.
  8. Smoking is allowed if you are actively playing in the casino, otherwise no.
  9. We have sailed in Inside, Ocean View, Balcony, Suite, and Haven cabins/ The only one I will not do again is ocean view. We found it not to be worth the additional cost over an inside cabin. The difference of having a porthole or a small window window in a cabin that is usually the same size is not justified. Keep the $800 and spend it on other things.
  10. Nope just wise and careful with where my money goes.
  11. Sort of like tipping when the ONLY right answer is to tip whomever you want to tip whatever amount you want at any time you want.
  12. They are paid on time and I never carry a balance on my credit cards. Never had a late payment in my life.
  13. Actually I pay all of my bills one month in advance and I keep three months worth of expenses in a separate bank account. Of course because I do this my credit score is only 839
  14. We found the VIbe to be the biggest waste of money on any cruise we have taken (19 so far).
  15. The false part was "If you’re trying to book the same restaurant for more than one night, you need to call to reserved the additional nights."
  16. False. We have made reservations for all nights of our cruise with repeats on every sailing and did it all on line.
  17. Th cabin steward just has not happened to go to the cabin while they were
  18. False, the machines in question do not give out quarters, only tokens for more play (other than the EXTREMELY infrequent) small clip of bills... The casino will exchange coins for cash at any time and as has been pointed out, guest services will take the coins as payment towards your account.
  19. Exactly so why bother with those rip off machines?
  20. No, no one has ever sailed in that cabin. It has forever been empty! 😛 BTW people have a lot better things to do on a cruise than checking to see what you are doing on your balcony.
  21. Any devices left plugged in will be unplugged by your cabin steward. Unattended device plugged in are a fire hazard and will get you in the naughty room if it happens repeatedly.
  22. You can turn 15-20 quarters into !a single $1 bill at best. They pay VERY little cash, mostly tokens for more play.
