I've never heard of a side to side. What is that?

We have seven B2Bs booked through 2025, but only intend to sail six. "Once you go back-to-back, you'll never look back" 🤣 disclaimer: we do have one non-B2B booked, but it's a sixteen day, so like the same thing only different. 😎

Those sound a lot like the same thing.....

Nah. I just sleep, shower and 🚽💩 in whatever cabin I'm in. Same work for the Steward.

Just the Americans? That doesn't seem right.🤣

Good grief. I would rather they bring back Priscilla and Kinky Boots. disclaimer: I would actually sit through Wheel twice before either of those.

Thanks. I had (blissfully) forgotten about that. I remember the last time they did this DW and I were heading to the Grand Canyon. The shutdown ended about a week before, and our Canyon visit was magical. We were literally the ONLY people enjoying the canyon at many of the overlooks.

Yep. I worked hard for my money, and I also worked hard to save money. Now that I've escaped that dreadful w@*k world, I'm not about to start throwing money away on things I don't want or need. Some derive tremendous value from a 3' x 8' balcony with the worst chairs on the ship. I'll just nap in the OL instead! 😎 disclaimer: I've never fallen asleep on a cruise ship anywhere other than my bed and, on one rare occasion, a heavily discounted aft balcony. It's the only fond "balcony" memory I have.

Just a recent data point: Current promo: Booking Window: September 26th – October 2nd, 2023 11:59pm EST Offer Details: Book a BALCONY or above stateroom on any sailing at least 4 months in advance and apply TWO CruiseNext, CruiseNext Haven or CruiseNext Lite deposits. I repriced an April 2024 itinerary, in an inside cabin, on Sept 26. I had two CNs applied previously. They still show on the reprice confirmation.

I just pay the fee and enjoy my cruise. If I want to spend less, I'll just book an inside.😎 Oh,wait.....🤣

What shutdown is this?

I've repriced many NCL cruises direct with NCL and never had a single problem. I would be mostly worried about a travel agent not knowing what they are doing.

Amen brother!! 🤑

Well, it sounds like you have the real NCL customer service line! 🤣

A lot of us just load our itineraries into Cruise Plum and check for drops every week or two. There's probably even a way to get auto-notified, but I haven't really looked into it.

Yeah, but he'll also get to live with an extra two and a half large walking around money for the rest of the cruise (maybe even for the rest of his life). Who knows? Drop it in the market the day after the cruise (or before) and see how it goes! Well, the question Schmoopie has to ask the guy in the mirror is "do you feel lucky?"🤣

Most significant price drops have nothing to do with any promos.

They have provided those on every single cruise I've been on. You just have to find the switch on the wall.🤣

😀

Please post a link. This is hard to believe.

I have nothing but fun while I’m on a ship. Nothing else matters. I book inside, but have upgraded to both regular balcony and aft balcony several times. The only one that made my cruise more memorable was the aft. Like many things, it was likely just the novelty, which will wear off. I’ll do it again for a very cheap price, but otherwise I’m just as happy in an inside. It’s only where I sleep and shower.

This is my favorite post of the week.

Nice. Now we can get two forms of "free laundry." 😎

Very well stated! 😎

I think you should find a vacation that better fits your budget.
