found it! https://www.nclhltd.com/investors/shareholder-benefits

How to get this Shareholder discount? Is there specific email address or phone number? How much discount do you get? Number of shares or for how long you have them? Is this particular to NCL or all cruise lines?

Thanks all for your comments and suggestions. Cruise Critic do NOT allow to post names of businesses but this policy seems like very poetic as Cruise Critic themselves post list of best travel agents on this website. https://www.cruisecritic.com/articles/best-cruise-travel-agents Is like editorial vs advertorial kind of thing! ? One of biggest perks I am looking for single person discount and it seems like it is no where to be found on Cruise line websites esp. where I want to go (No Cozumel please, it seems like this particular location is profit maker as half of Caribbean cruises go there) . There were single discounts on NCL last month and but rooms were inside (I was ok with that one) but it was on 4th Floor and I thought that was very low level. Not sure sure how far they are from engines or crew cabin. I just missed that deal as it was very good itinerary (southern Caribbean) and I thought they may have better opening in a week or so but seems like demand is off the charts. Those cabin went like hot cakes. Thanks all.

Ok thanks, Some general idea. Local (mom and pop shop), regional or affiliated with big box store etc. You can name your travel agent as ABC and how did you find them? I know some people like them and some don't. Not sure how to find cruise specialist travel agent?

Do you use Travel agent for Cruises or depends or book directly with cruise? Any suggestions how to find Travel Agent for Cruises? Google search will get you all over the places. Thanks

Has anyone booked any cruise via this website. To me cruise search engine like a banner as once you select a cruise it will take to some other website and rates quoted initially are like bait. I felt every time I wasted time trying to find a cruise via cruise critic.

thanks you. I will check them out.

Does anyone any forum to ask about how best earn and use Travel Points and rewards? Travel rewards does not seems be hot topic here at Cruise Critic. You do need airline ticket to travel to cruise port. I have travel points and airline reward spread across various credit card and airline rewards program. Is there a way if I can combine them? I have seen people use miles on (lets say) Delta airline but operated by Virgin Atlantic. First I need to transfer mile from credit card rewards to Delta (if Delta is in their network) and then use Delta rewards program to book airline ticket either on Delta or partner airline?

thanks

Thank you for addressing water issue. I guess there will be plenty of water. Since lots of European responding to my post. How is food esp. Pizza and Pasta. I love good Pizza, Ravioli by the way. Do you guys eat Pizza by hand like most Americans do or by fork? I did not get quite get internet issue for Americans. Is it only Costa App which does Not work or no internet at all? Does it matter which phone do you have, iphone or Android?

Thanks for link.

Thanks

Pier Runner is depends who do you ask. You can can claim you stuck in traffic or your watch missed Time zone adjustment. Or you simply did not return. What is difference between Trip Delay or Trip Interruption? How do I know if this perk (pier runner) is included in insurance. This happens quite often as people miss cruise at port mid way). I don't have Travel agent and I will buying online on my own. Is there particular insurance language for this mishap and under which section? Thanks for clarification on Trip Cancellation or CFAR.

I am sure this topic has been discussed and asked thousands of time. I have never purchase cruise insurance and now I am getting older so starting to think about it. Q: Cruise Insurance from Cruise Company I am assuming this insurance only covers Cruise portion of Travel? not before and after? I have seen here lot of people buy these from cruise companies, any particular reason why or lack of knowledge? Q: Lets say you bought your Cruise and airline tickets from big online travel websites. There are many dot coms around. I don't want to mention any names. I did this mistake by asking this question. I was banned from this forum. and only way to get re-instated was to plead guilty to Cruise Critic and admitted that I knowingly promoted somethings. I asked question naively comparing 2 products by mentioning names! Thing are many dot com travel websites there is NOT a link between Cruise booking and airline booking. You book one first, pay for it and then book other one and pay for it. Every one more than happy to sell you insurance. Question is buying insurance from big internet based dot com covers whole thing or depends as they are selling you 2 things separately? Q: There are some big name retailer also sell travel packages and again insurance (I bet profit margin must be very high on insurance products as every one is selling them). Is it best to buy from them or 3rd party (my next question)? Q: In an other post here on Cruise Critic someone posted a link to article which take to sort of market place of 3rd party travel insurance companies where you add your requirements like what you need and it shows different insurance companies and their rates (again not going to mention name as not to get banned again!). Plus then you read insurance policy detail what is covered. Is that more suitable route?

I am sure people are familiar with concept of Pier runner. Lets say if you miss your cruise connection while on cruise. What kind of insurance do you need? This does happen. Trip Interruption Trip Cancellation (most likely your trip going to go cancel) Trip delay or something else Does insurance purchased from Cruise line at time of booking cover this clause. Or need also to have Cancellation for Any reason?
