We fly AA as well and never had any issue with name/address on tags.

See what happens when you have 20/200 vision and post without yoir glasses on? I intended to type "proof" sorry about that, I was in stupid mode I think! 🙂

Because it is NYC! 😉

So it is not a possibility that whoever has teh bag did not ntive it was the worng bag until well after leaving the port, even after they got home? You are making ass-u-mptions.

What conversation do you want them to have. Your insurnace is making you whole. There is nothing for NCL, the port, or anyone else to do at this point. The matter is settled.

LOL stolen.... Someone just probably picked up the wrong bag. OF COURSE they will require you to say you wonr get compensation elsewhere. It woudl actually be FRAUD and illegal for you to do so. That double dipping. Why even fill out the form if all you want is 'compassion", it is a CLAIM form. Your entire post makes no sense at all.

Hey TwoWheelsOnly (not to disrupt the discussion) what do you eride and how long have you been riding?

No more towel animals - OH NO HOW COULD THEY - LOL a total non-issue. Having a towel folded to resemble a fish is not going to make or break my cruise in any manner what-so-ever. 2 Specialty Dining credits on 7-day sailings instead of 3 - This in no way impacts the quality of the food or service. Removal of straws - WHAT A HORRID THING TO DO! LOL (again). Blame the tree huggers. No more evening turn-down service - Seriously you need soemoen to pull the sheets down on yoru bed for you to be abel to climb under the covers and get a good night's sleep? No more included room service breakfast delivery - Actualy you can still get continental breakfast, but we aren't tpp lazy to get out of bed to eat so a non-issue. No more late-night snack - O'Sheehans is open 24/7. Go snack to your hearts content. Fewer large production shows - The same odl shows have been on most cruises we have been on. Choir of Mna and Elements for example. How many time do you want to go see the same show? Higher daily service charges - In 13 years almost everythng has gone up in cost, the raise in the DSC is (IMHO) minor and all but expected. Fewer drinks covered in the included drinks package - I don't drink. I am sure I am forgetting

Blinkers?

We have been sailing NCL since about 2010 and there has been no drop in quality (massive or otherwise) that we have experienced. We get taken care of very well on all of out cruises and have zero complaints. Sorry that you are choosing to feel the way you do. Hope you find some place that fits yoru vacation needs better.

The names explain it all. Cruise FIRST is for your FIRST crusie. Cuise NEXT is for subsequent cruises.

{lease for the love of God NO!

The REAL question that no one has asked yet is do we have to tip smokers and how muc is the usual tip? 🙂

Which according the FAQ is NOT a tip. It is an incentive program to encourage employees to work together (not sure iof I have that wording 100% correct), which means any given employee may or may not see any part of the DSC even if they are 'eligible' to be part of the program.

Just one more step in the direction of no smoking at all om cruises, THANK GOD!

And you agreed to this being a posibility whne you booked. It happens on occasion on all cruise lines. Yeah it sucks when it happens to you and the ports dropped are ones you are really looking forwrad to, but it is all part of cruising as we all know. Make the best of it and stop choosing to let it ruin yoru cruise.

1) Theer are no pre-paid tips to the cabin steward. 2) The ONLY 'rule' about tipping in all cases is to tip who you want when you want whatever amount you want.. The FAQ on ncl.com states that no tiping is required, however most non-cheap people do tip something. That5 aside, what otehrs choose to do is no one else's business and is totally irrelevant.

Last time I checked the ATM limit was 300 with the 7 charge plus most banks charge on their end as well, usually about 5.95. Bottom line is that erertyome should ensure they know the total cost of obtaining funds in the casino before doing do.

1) I do not drink so it is not an issue. 2) my point was about the original comment about chairs and not at all about bars.

Every one that I have wanted to have a lounger.

The Getaway

Ive been in the Vibe and the post I referenced said EXACTLY what I replied. A nice lounge chair away from the pool with no kids. No difference except I would save several hundred dollars. 🙂

You can use cash or get a cah advance form the casino with a 3% fee and it will go on your on borad acct. You can always go to customer service and make a paymeny on yoru account with the 2nd CC for any amunt at any time. The ATM cost is worse than the 3% fee after addings NCLs ATM fee and yoru banks fee for using a non-bank ATM.

You can find free lounge chairs away from the pool (most with no kids around) with very little effort.

Yes a lot of people do and they do so in various amounts. What someone else tips is no business of anyone else nor is it relevant (neither is the DSC). Tip who you want what amount you want when you want and be done with it. EOS
