Totally agree. I was on the 1/21 cruise and words don’t do justice to how beautiful and humbling it was to sail around paradise bay. The passengers lost out on the best part of the cruise. 

Damn. I was on the 1/21 sailing and feel so bad for everyone on the 2/4 sailing.

Any chance you can post a Daily or two as the cruise goes on? In particular, I'm interested in the lectures, when they're scheduled, and whether they're replayed later on TV...

If you find the “book of face” group for the Norwegian Star South America and Antarctica group, go to the files link. The dailies are posted there. 

Anyone have any good recommendations? We are flying in a day early and hoping to enjoy some good food. Preferably a location that accepts credit cards.

I reserved a free 2 hour walking tour with GuruWalk. You are just supposed to tip at the end. I figure if it isn’t good we will just walk around on our own (which was our original plan).

At a minimum, keeping haven fridges stocked with waters and sodas should be easily doable with minimal cost incurred.

I think the biggest issue would be that he would not be able to join then in the Haven only areas. 

If they leave dad in the haven and the other guest gets the extra room in only their name, it could be done theoretically. Dad would just go there to sleep. 

Sounds like people would still just be better off arranging their own flights on their own instead of arranging their own flights via NCL. 

Would love to see some of the dailies if you get a chance to post them. 
 

Enjoy your cruise!

Do a lot of people buy the stock, get the credit and then resell it? And then rinse and repeat for each cruise?

If you buy a cruise first certificate when it’s $500 for $250, that is basically the same as cruise next, correct? Or is there an additional benefit to cruise next?

Other posters are likely correct in that it has something to do with what country you are in and the laws there. 
 

However, in some situations at work I have some leeway in how things are handled. If I have a customer bring a complaint to me and they are patient, willing to work with me, heck even just say “please”, I’m probably a lot more likely to go above and beyond. If they are rude and condescending I will still do my job but won’t make the effort to go above and beyond. The way you’re threatening to play silly games with the crews tips make it seem like you’d fall into the latter category.

no need for me to re-evaluate.  I'm the only person that can determine what a showstopper is for ME.  and if the elegant (sorry that I used the wrong word if it offended you) is optional, then they should present it differently on their website:

 

 

 

is this really that different from what NCL lists as their dress code?

They would be close, but not exactly the same as haven menus you find online. They are NOT the specialty dining menus for those restaurants. They just use the dining rooms for seating. 

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for!

I have a question about this - Special dining room for breakfast and lunch (in Moderno and Cagney's)

Can anyone share what the lunch menus / options were like for these restaurants?

I guess I’m the odd man out. I think this sounds fun. I’ll be checking it out in January. 

Thanks everyone for your input. I shared with my husband the information. Instead of picking our top 3 choices he said we should just do the upgrade option for 2 more meals and try all 5!

For my upcoming cruise, I will have 3 nights of specialty dining on the Norwegian Star ship (2 adults). Which 3 restaurants would you book at? Choices are:

Moderno Churrascaria

La Cucina

Cagney’s Steakhouse

Le Bistro

Teppanyaki

Sushi - this is a restaurant choice but I don’t care for sushi so won’t be choosing this one

I appreciate your feedback!

I'm fine having no vodka coming from Russia....

Agreed. But there are many other countries who make vodka. Belvedere, Ketel One, Grey Goose, Skyy, Absolut, Tito’s are all non-Russian vodkas. 

2 people at 2 restaurants

My friend moved to Belgium a couple of months ago and says she and her husband prefer Bruges over Brussels (esp for the stuff you plan to do). 

18!

Maybe call your doctor and see if they have suggestions on where you can get this done. 
 

I know you said they won’t order it but they may have a suggestion

I am out of pocket for the 2 night hotel room and 2 excursions I purchased for Honolulu. I have never had my other cruises cancelled.

Did you purchase travel insurance?

It sounds like you’re getting your money back in addition to the $4000 at a later date (or am I reading that wrong?)
