Thank you. I did a quick Google search as well and that was the consensus. I am taking a NCL excursion on Day 1 so I will let them know I won't be returning to the ship at the end of it.

I'm on the Getaway next July and we overnight in Istanbul. After the first day do we have to go back onboard or can we stay at a land hotel? We leave at 4pm the next day so there is plenty of time to get back to the ship. I'm considering a room in town to avoid the whole disembarkation process, esp. for those with excursions that day.

I wouldn't pay for Haven in any case. I think it's a ridiculous amount for a cruise. But that's just me.

Yes!

I live in hope for another 24 days 😂

That makes sense.

Okay thanks

If the category we are bidding on is showing sold out for the cruise should I just cancel my upgrade bid?

The rep did have me on hold while she spoke to someone else. We're okay with the passes as we already have a balcony room on Deck 12. We'll rethink bidding next cruise.

I called my NCL rep and she said they wouldn't be cancelled which made no sense so we cancelled our bids and just paid for the passes. I doubt we'll be upgraded as our bids were just into the Fair category and roughly $100 less than the passes. We didn't want to take the chance as we really want to use the thermal spa.

Okay thank you. I didn't know we could cancel the passes if we were upgraded.

It's $339 for the thermal spa pass and it looks like the spa balcony is double what we paid right now, so well over $1K a person. Which is ridiculous. I can call my NCL rep but will probably wait. We had decided to just get a massage on the ship if we didn't get upgraded however there's a nice spa in Puerto Vallarta we found that we can get a massage & facial for less than a massage at the ship spa.

I have bids on two different spa balconies. (Currently in a balcony room) If we don't get upgraded can we just buy the spa package before boarding?

This just reminds me to put Pepto on my packing list (just in case!)

Laughing about not knowing Italian. I'm fine with tap water in my stateroom if that's good. I'll just pop a couple ice cubes in it and I'm good to go. Heck I drink L.A. Tap water so I'm not fussy!
