I can easily afford to pay for NCL internet, but I don't. It's not because I "steal it." I simply don't use any more that my free minutes because a) I don't go on vacation to have screen time and b) NCL's internet sucks so bad that 150 minutes of it is enough frustration for anybody.

9:30 is typically the "okay, we're not fooling around anymore, we're naming names" announcement. I generally wait until then so that there are no lines to exit the ship and terminal. If I have an earlier flight, I get off earlier.

Possibly not. If you want Teppanyaki and Moderno, and you have two credits, than just book those first. You can then book Cagneys, Ocean Blue, LeBistro, etc. without having to pay anything up front.

Following along. Please post a daily or two if you have a chance. No problem if you don't. You need to spend your time enjoying a fantastic AK cruise. I'll be curious to hear if Siglo is still performing on the ship. Best classic rock band I've ever had on an NCL ship.

I tried to watch. I really did. At the end of the day, I just like to chill and enjoy my cruises without looking for things to complain about.

I'm pretty certain that an item has to have some intrinsic value to be "stolen." NCL's craptastic wifi? 🤣

That would be the deal breaker for me. I love both of those venues.

Tough crowd. I appreciate your valuable inputs @julig22

Yeah, what others have said. NCL's system doesn't care what perks you have or don't have when making advance dining reservations. It only wants you to pay in advance for the fixed price venues (like Teppanyaki). Just book those first and you can book endless amounts of the other restaurants with no worries.

Well, there's a surprise. Why don't you put a credit card on file?

Thanks. That makes sense!

Aren't all passengers required to place a credit card on file prior to even being allowed onto the ship?

Yes, but this thread is specifically about NCL transfers, not "transfers in general." You seem to be talking about something entirely different. NCL does not change their bus schedules because one passenger's flight is delayed.

Lack of sleep and alcohol? Couldn't it have been something else? (like being packed into ship/plane/airport/terminal with hundreds of disease carrying humans?) I know people want to blame alcohol for all human evils, but I doubt that anybody can back that up.

Why would you purchase OBC?

That sounds great friend. Myself? One of my great joys is an early rise and a quick trip to the buffet to grab a) a spicy bloody mary and b) a nice table for breakfast when others in my party drag themselves out of bed. Time doesn't matter at that point.

Do you honestly believe that NCL does any of this? Don't they just take our (your) money and have a bus ready?

Really?? Which driver are you talking about? The bus driver?? He/she checks to see if your flight is delayed and then holds an entire bus? I am really confused about what you think is happening here.

This is funny. I may start using that. We live in a world of whiners, many who frequent this fine forum.

🤣 Good one!!

All of them? Hard to choose. Hawaii for the ports/excursions. AK for the wildlife and scenery. Bliss/Encore/Joy for the ships. My April B2B Bliss to AK was certainly one of the best. Outstanding music on board and a lot of time to just relax and chill. I also got to meet @graphicguy, which was great. All that said, perhaps my favorite is my next cruise. They can't come soon enough.

(post retracted due to lack of alcohol)

No. They did a crappy job (I guess you know that as well 🤣). It was immediately obvious to 100% of the smart kids here on the forum. It is a pathetic attempt to stir the pot. Likely targeted at steerage passengers who love the OLs and don't waste money on the Haven. Some folks know no bounds. That said, I misinterpreted your post Hallux, as you obviously are among the smart kids here. I thought you bought into this crazy, but now realize that you're smarter than that. If only everybody was, these threads would find no audience.😎 Fun times!! (until somebody gets banned)

🤣🤣🤣 But seriously.... Post #2?

I think there's a word for that on the internet. That said, I hope you're right, but I believe that she sincerely is trying to be "insightful" here. That's a tough thing for most of us.
