Inside Cabin VS Balconey Cabin
MichiganFisherman replied to Susan Cark's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Inside cabins make sea sickness worse. Getting fresh air and being able to see where the sea meets the horizon makes sea sickness less so .... -
Some of us fill out the survey AND tip standard ..... crazy idea isn't it? You can do both if you care so much .

Water shut down Koningsdam Thanksgiving sailing
MichiganFisherman replied to meh56's topic in Holland America Line
I'm missing what the big deal is here ? Ships have maintenance and plumbing problems all the time . Would you rather they do it while the ship is asleep or awake at 7AM?- 54 replies

It used to be that way but not anymore. NCL is all I used to sail but not anymore as they've become the worst value at sea . You can add all the things the NCL Free at Sea brings to Carnival bookings at it will still be way less than NCL. My 12 day to Europe on the Pride is $3500 with balcony. An 11 day with an almost identical itinerary on NCL is almost $11000. If I add Cheers its $5500. Does that look close? 7 day NCL out of Hawaii on the POA is $7600 with Free at Sea. I booked princess 16 day Hawaii, over twice the length of trip on NCL, with Drink package, tips, WIFI and $400 OBC for $6500. $1200 more for 7 days on NCL vs 16 on Princess. NCL pricing is the worst value of all the lines now vs when I said them on the Bliss and Escape. My 15 day Panama Canal cruise on the Bliss a couple years ago was $5600. Now it's $12000. A total ripoff and no other line has increased pricing like NCL. I'm booking Princess and Celebrity for half.

Nice try but no one is asking you to pay more but it's your sole decison to pay less with the same expectations in service as those paying a standard. You can't spin what you already admitted. The staff didn't ask you to spend all your money on other things as you are asking them to accept less .....period. Only you would claim to be gouged while claiming to spend 4 times more by choice. Makes no sense ....

Can you change your online booking for the MDR to one or the other, fixed or open?

Probably NCL.

Hawaii RT from SFO on Princess
MichiganFisherman replied to CruiseProGirl's topic in Princess Cruises
I understand the original poster's concerns and have the same concerns myself. I booked the 16 day round trip to Hawaii for August 2023 with my 13 and 15 year old daughters. They are seasoned cruisers and the wife and I have sailed Princess before but not with them. We too are hoping there are some fun activities for them as well. They don't require much attention but the sea days there and back from Hawaii could end up being long ones. We chose this due to the destination. -
Dumping Ports and substituting sea days
MichiganFisherman replied to ausbod's topic in Holland America Line
But then more people aboard equals more spending on food, drinks, shopping, and the casino. You never know, maybe the OP is on to something. -
Love Boat sale vs Black Friday sale
MichiganFisherman replied to MichiganFisherman's topic in Princess Cruises
Not even sure of that..... I booked our 16 day day Hawaii Cruise for my family of four during the Love Boat sale and the deposit was only $200 total for four people. I'm not sure what, if any, this Black Friday sale brings .... Might be the worst BF sale I've seen of any cruiseline in a while . -

Anything we should know about the Magic or our ports?
MichiganFisherman replied to farjar's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
Check out the ports of call forum for port info. -
They can make price adjustments but you're way past final payment and weeks before sailing. The line generally drops prices last minute to fill cabins and no way in heck are they giving every person on board a refund last minute ..... I wouldn't even expect them to.

Love Boat sale vs Black Friday sale
MichiganFisherman replied to MichiganFisherman's topic in Princess Cruises
We're you booked under the Love Boat sale or even before then? -
Keeping it short and sweet...... My 16 day Hawaii cruise for August 2023 for my family of four with Princess Plus went up $5 but without the $100 OBC each for the four of us from the Love Boat sale. Nothing to see here for the Black Friday sale for us today.... Maybe you'll have better luck .

Drink package question from NCL newbie
MichiganFisherman replied to Bxc53's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Use the search function for this widely discussed topic. -
That is the plan when they state that the cost of the tips on longer cruises makes it expensive and they ask if they can adjust it to zero. There is so other way to read what is obvious.

Why? Are you already planning on removing your tips before you even cruise to save money at the workers expense while expecting great personal service?
