  1. Thank you! I now know what to look for and think I've got it! It appears that I have might have some refundable OBC from my TA that I'm hoping to use on a Cruisenext. Will I be able to do that?
  2. How does refundable vs unrefundable OBC get applied? I have OBC from a variety of sources, and I have no idea which line item is for which credit. There are no codes listed next to the line items on my account where my OBC credits are listed. I got some from my TA, some as an incentive from NCL for booking, and I believe some as a shareholder, but it's impossible to tell which is which, which is refundable, which one gets used first against room charges, etc. I'm no stranger to cruising, being Sapphire on NCL,and high status on other lines, but this has me befuddled.
  3. Guess I'm lucky, then. I haven't sailed NCL since last year and haven't been on the boards, so I'm a bit uninformed. Got lucky and just purchased 2 $250 ones the day before it ended. Whew!
  4. Haven't called them yet, but I will tomorrow. Hope my issue is as easy to fix as versuco's. It's really bizarre to suddenly become a nobody.
  5. I was on the phone with my TA extensively today, booking rooms for this summer. Everything went pretty smoothly. Tonight, I tried to go into my account to check status, and it doesn't recognise anything about me. My email addresses, my username, password, nothing. Has this happened to anyone before? I guess I'm going to have to call tech services, but they close at 6 ET and don't work weekends. Any pearls of wisdom?
  6. Just spoke to an NCL rep, and confirmed this online. The Cruisefirst program is now being offered at $150 for a $300 credit. It was $250 for $500 but that is now changed.
  7. I know - it is kinda trite. But it's one of the things many of us look forward to, and miss when they are gone. Having Chocolate ganache is not quite the same, and it's hard to dip that in coffee... Glad to see they are not gone from everywhere - yet. For those of us not in the solo lounge, or in the Haven or with a butler, it's more challenging to find things sometimes. Will be on a concentrated mission when we climb aboard our cruise soon.
  8. I second this. I have a similar issue, and need ice packs. I just bought a refillable ice bag - the old fashioned kind - and can always go to the Garden Cafe and get ice. Reading reviews on the ice bags reveal that it's a good idea to keep Ziplock bags at hand in case there is sweat or leakage issues.
  9. Now I'll have to figure out a way to sneak into the Studio Lounge to get some.
  10. Maybe it's time for us to turn the tide and start entertaining our room attendants with animals that we make up!
  11. uhhhh - yeah, but this is an NCL discussion. RCL is a whole nuther discussion. RCL always had better buffet desserts anyway, IMHO.
  12. Please come back and let us know how you make out. And have a great time on your cruise!
  13. Sorry you’re not buying their story, but it’s what they experienced. Maybe as an newer ship (Prima), they’re still providing the goodies they don’t bother with on the older ships like the Getaway. When my friend said they spoke to the GM and Captain and this is what they were told, I have a tendency to believe it. I will be on the Getaway in a few weeks and will come back with firsthand experience. As an experienced NCL traveler, I can try to work whatever angles I can find. And if I say no cookies (to non-Haven,non-Vibe people) then you can take that to the bank! 😁
  14. Thanks for the giggle! I noticed that last time I was on the Gem, about a year ago, there were no prunes. Really? That's a staple some of us older folks have come to rely on. You could ask for prune juice, I was told. Which put me in a conundrum. I had found my magic formula to be 5 prunes. No more, no less. So, how much juice does it take to equate to 5 real prunes? Too little, and it doesn't work, too much and...well... you know.
