Honestly while I enjoy watching them the last this I would want is being in a suite class at the same time as them. If someone did complain it's a lose lose situation likely. Regarding people on Facebook and Instagram stating something I think we can throw those thoughts out lol. You had comments on Facebook videos how MSC was even against the gay community and they were targeted because of it. In the end MSC likely will take a different direction. My worry now will be other vlogs actually trying to get kicked off ships so they can make the news to bulls their channel. I have zero doubt BD were acting normally and had no ill will.

You mean car dealers trying to drawing in people when money is cheap not continuing to become less cheap?

This is for Q4 2023 cruises so you would already be inside the window where you can't cancel from my understanding. So anyone booking would be going on the cruise.

Uplift isn't giving 0% APR away for nothing so that means NCL is picking up the tab. Do we see a lessening of demand in the rest of 2023? Saw other late 2023 deals even from DCL if I am not mistaken as well. Possibly on the backside of the large surge in demand with more ships launching across the big brands tipping the balance of supply vs demand? Does a 0% APR also show that NCL is buying in to less people having disposable income as inflation outpaces wage growth and individuals have used up the surplus they accumulated during the pandemic?

In other words then its like a appetizer or snack than a meal now there. I wonder what the math was behind the change because I can see people now going there at like 5pm then hitting up a higher cost steakhouse for dinner still.

Why can't you walk out the door and immediately turn around and ask for a seat again? Is it $20 limit per meal period each day?

Except when he is working he is still by himself? When he leaves his room it's no different than an apartment in the city going to the Cafe or whatever.

That is dead simple. I go to Sandals or elsewhere at that point. Heck $50/person is a good meal on land most places outside major cities.

Why doesn't Royal just pay them better and allow gratuities actually be for better service as our discretion? Ah its to avoid taxes and avoid making their cruises look more expensive. I tip but I am squarely required anti-tip at the same time. Also agree about service level possibly dipping. I wonder if total crew on board has possibly decreased or been repositioned to revenue generating locations instead?

Only way I step onboard NCL is Haven and right now in general I am staying away from cruising just checking in now and then to see if the general issues all lines are having are getting better. Lots of cost cutting and crowded ships lend to me spending money elsewhere. Know someone else who recently went on a NCL cruise and hated it. We let them know give NCL another chance but make sure you are Haven when you do. Sorry the trip didn't go as planned as that is not a cheap cruise.

I wouldn't book NCL Air because of the horror stories I hear. Other forums love to say how there is no issues and everyone without issues should speak up. Well guess what you don't get to choose to avoid issues like the OP. If I was the OP booking my own flight I would book it later in the day or the next day. No choice with NCL Air and while you can call they likely won't care and do nothing for you based on what I had read in the past when seeing if we should do NCL Air ourselves.

Here is the NBC article on it: https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/investigations/nbc-ct-responds/nbc-ct-responds-helps-travelers-recoup-thousands-of-dollars-change-cruise-policy/2977066/

Found it, it was Don that talked about it:

Heard about this from a youtube channel recently. NBC I guess had gotten engaged in the investigation before they got any resolution after like 6 months. Good luck and I would make sure to try and reach out as well through ways that can be tracked and recorded like email or something in addition to calling.
