Easy call, yes. Even more so now that I know exactly what to expect.

Of course, and the Vibe isn't worth it for anyone at any price. We know, we know. If the Bird doesn't like it, it shouldn't exist.

Really? That all you need for cookies? What's the big deal then...

Tito's is included, energy drinks are not. You pose an interesting question.

Now I know you just post for your own amusement. Large as compared to what? A Ziplock sandwich bag? You are correct.

Off the top of my head, I honestly can't think of anyone I know in real life that hasn't tested positive at least once. Except me. I think BAC may be the missing link here. 🙃

And this was all it took to know how this was going to go...

Have you ever cruised before?

How are going to tip your cook? The laundry guy? The person that keeps the public bathrooms spotless?

And, your point?

Dock, I would love to be able to tell you everything to make your cruise perfect. But that's not my job, Reseach the ship, research the ports, research the temperatures. Research the interiors and exteriors vs. the temperatures. Spending $1000's of dollars is worth a bit of effort, right? Personally, I'd jump on that ship in a heartbeat. 😄

Welcome to the Ncl bidding process that has no rhyme or reason. Bid the most you are willing to pay, and then forget about it until the week of your cruise.

And that's the end line, right? Who deserves money, and who just wants money?

Whatever. Have fun on a modern cruise ship,

Yeah, as usual, the thread goes sideways. The answer in 2024 is, what are you talking about? No smartphone? What does that even mean?

OP, I'm with you. But based on the title of this thread: what would you consider a "fair" cancellation fee?

Totally agree. Can you show me a recent NCL itinerary that shows something different?

It's often difficult to discern whether one is serious, or sarcastic. Do your research, and do you.

kathy, your review is appreciated, but polar opposite of what we experienced. To each their own.

Haven't quite wrapped my head around why you would get the up charged filet in Le Bistro without the fois gras, but, whatever. You can get a filet for an upcharge in the MDR.

Seems like the end of the story is -- if you want to go to Venice, book a trip to Venice. A cruise might not be your thing.

I find it sad you even need to mention this. I have a dream that all posts are an accurate representation of a true fact. Oops...just woke up. 🐀

For certain. Once Prima and Viva become the "old ships", the value vs. price will increase accordingly.

I've been reading along, I really have. But I'm trying to wrap my head around all this intense discussion about what to me is essentially Econ101. Is it normal for NCL to have a DOS available after final payment, for which they need to discount in order to sell? If yes, then they are charging too much to begin with, because the demand at that level isn't there. In no, then they need more DOS's or charge a higher price, because the demand is higher than the supply. What am I missing?

Gary was my intro to YT cruise videos. He is fantastic. I've accumulated a number of others I watch daily, but yes, he is the gold standard.
