Buffet spaghetti is your make-or-break cruise criteria?

Yes but you likely will have to pay port tax.

I would cruise the Epic again, but only in The Haven. I kind of like the atrium/casino area where you can sit and have a cocktail and watch people play. Seemed kind of a nice “happening” area overall.

If you can upgrade to Haven, you won’t have the ridiculous bathroom situation.

Probably ordered it well done and then added some ketchup.

NCLH is $19 and change today, call it about $2K for a hundred shares. If you take just one week cruise per year for the $100 credit, that’s essentially a 5% annual “dividend” which isn’t taxable, effectively increasing your net. Not to mention the “yield” increases on longer cruises for the $250 credit, or if you use it more than once per year. If you’re Haven, $2k should be well within your budget (I hope!) and a nice perk that you can always sell later, or just hold on to it for the potential future growth and the ongoing “dividend” OBC. Quite easy to blow a hundred bucks on something at the shops or like sushi in a restaurant, etc

I had a free bag in my club balcony suite last week.

I think I read on here that you can still request fixed dining? Some solos and couples still do it? i haven’t done it.

I think this reason is ridiculous, if it is the case. They should not be offering ports that aren’t already in place. Don’t sell me on a port if the spot (or tender) isn’t already arranged.

What other options are there? Going to “prison pocket” it for the week?

LHR is an improvement over Gatwick also.

Standing room only airplane seats? This is a joke, right?

Could be citing the same nonsensical reason they told me that Grenada was cancelled on our current cruise: safety. Or the other version I’ve heard onboard that the slip was $250k/day so they cancelled it for that reason. Or the other other version I’ve heard: to save fuel/help the environment.

Maybe fix your own train wreck post first?
