Peter - does Carnival have a service charge for charging your slot account to your room? I was recently on an NCL cruise and they had a 3% service charge for charging your slot play to your room account

JF I've traveled on two longer NCL cruises solo in Jan and Feb. I was not in solo cabins and did not attend the solo gathering. I went to restaurants alone and never found myself at worst tables or inattentive servers. NCL seems to appreciate solos as a market and I've been impressed so far this year with them. You should have a good time.

Yes, I found it odd too! I wouldn't have even noticed it but I was having trouble downloading my boarding pass on the NCL app, so I went into my account.

Well, I'm going on my second NCL cruise in a month on Tuesday. My prior NCL cruise had been a charter cruise 7 years ago. So I wouldn't call myself frequent. I have been looking at lots of itineraries however, so maybe they (or the personal cruise consultant they assigned me) thought it would get me to decide on my next cruise.

No. I had a cruise on the Gem last month, no problem, and am on the Joy later this week. My one previous NCL cruise was 7 years ago.

All of a sudden this showed up in my NCL account and I have to use it by February 29th. Does anyone know how I might have gotten it? And does anyone know if there are any conditions besides when I have to book and sail before?

I'm excited too. I love the Jewel class and the Gem. I like that there will be longer itineraries.

I'm going to be on NCL's Joy for it's TA back to Florida after refurbishment on Feb 13.

I just tried the app again moments ago and it appears to be working again

Debnjoe - if you go to menu on the right hand side there is a "My NCL" item and if you go there, there should be an item that says "don't see reservation" and will ask you some questions and look up the reservation.

Second thing I did after restarting phone. thanks for reply.

Has anyone else started recently having issues with the NCL app. My Samsung phone just did an update to it's system (not the NCL app) and now the NCL app is shutting down and I'm getting a pop-up saying the app has a bug and I need to update it when NCL comes out with one.

I'll be on NCL's Gem next week (Jan 16) for their Caribbean cruise.

Have any of the major Transoceanic shippers restarted passenger ops?

As an update, I talked to Carnival and they upgraded me to a balcony and honored the $2128 price so I'm getting a 500+ refund! I'm very happy. I've never stayed in a balcony before.
