On celebrity Summit, I got the usb working by plugging in the usb key and the tv responded and asked me if I wished to switch (there was no other way to switch inputs) it might work the same way if you connect the hdmi to an active device …the tv might detect the input and ask if you want to switch

My only HAL voyage last September we received our guarantee assignment just 3 days before sailing. That cruise was not 100% sold so I could understand the late confirmation due to upsells etc, my next sailing in June has been a complete sell out for 4 weeks now but I still don’t have an assignment. This makes far less sense

Actually the change is dreadful. You have to buy the missed port upgrade for each and every cruise. It only applied to one cruise…not a whole year as current.

My last NCL cruise [december] you could not use shareholder OBC in the casino.

Can you only take advantage of price reductions if you booked direct?? If not then do you just call your Travel consultant and ask them to get a reduction due for you? Seems awkward (does the price paid impact their commission??)

Perfect ..thank you so much

We are in Le Havre on Thursday Feb 8th. … 9am - 9pm so a long day. we are probably going to spend a couple of hours in Le Havre and then head to Honfleur. We typically embrace public transport but am finding it difficult to get a grasp of the bus routes and timetables. any help from someone who knows their way around the bus system in Normandy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Drinks packages only seem to be heavily discounted at the point of purchase. Wifi is discounted, but only by around 20% or so for an entire voyage package. Once onboard there are certain Wi-Fi offers for ‘remainder of voyage’ so if you can cope without at the start, you can buy fewer days for cheaper later.

It’s really for slot players only, very hard to earn sufficient points on table play. I play $25 a hand blackjack and after monitoring the points I received I worked out I would need to play 14 hours a day every day of my cruise to get any kind of meaningful reward….or up my stakes to $250 per hand …..which obviously I was not prepared to do.

Wedding Update The Captain was legally able to officiate.... But he wanted $1000 😕 (probably plus 20% service charge) Fortunately there was an ordained minister onboard the passengers who carried out the service. Sadly, cruise Director Isha interrupted the ceremony mid way through with her loud 5 minute rundown of the days programme In short, very poor performance by NCL,, rescued by the good nature of the couple getting married... They were still absolutely made up that their wedding went ahead against the odds

Just a little update on the Wedding party. they are still getting married tomorrow…at 10am onboard (presumably by the Captain) so they will still arrive in NYC as husband and wife 🥰

Due to uncertainties surrounding ability to dock in NYC on 18th or 19th December, the current itinerary is now skipping Bermuda and heading direct to New York where it will dock two days early on 17th December, where it will act as a floating hotel for the two days. No official comment available yet, but captain said it was 95% certain at 11am this morning (5 hours ago) and we have now significantly changed course and logged a new schedule with the marine authorities, so it is definitely happening. Sadly there is a wedding party onboard due to get married in Bermuda. Not sure what they will do now?

If these are ‘net fare’ deals (which they wont necessarily tell you) then essentially you are buying from the TA and not P&O and so they can operate under their own deposit schemes….and as they are holding the risk, should you cancel, then a higher non refundable deposit can be typical. If they are just acting as the booking agent then they should follow the Cruise Lines deposit protocols.

HAL not included in the actual app … just 4 brands

Ours was around 3 days out
