Non alcoholic wine on Royal - disappointing
mjkacmom replied to lucymorgan's topic in Royal Caribbean International
My daughter has celiac, I don’t think removing most of the gluten would help much, she can’t even eat a salad if it had croutons on it and then removed. -
My daughter goes to school in Boston and Amtrak is great, book early for the best rates, there are many trains every day. I’ve driven and flown, but train is my favorite. I’d also recommend the doubletree and local restaurants.

All of my kids worked at a garden center starting at 14, the boys got tipped very well for carrying stuff to cars, a fortune during Christmas tree season (brutal work). My girls were cashiers but sometimes got tips, especially if they walked around with the customers. Once a customer came back to tip my daughter after my daughter drove her and her plants home (no car).

NCL It’s Been a While-General Questions
mjkacmom replied to Momof3gurlz's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
There will be a MDR open for lunch on embarkment day, our family of 7 has never made reservations in a MDR and we’ve never waited for a table. -
But in this case NCL booked them a flight coming into the best airport option and definitely want to arrive the day before coming from the west coast.

Who gets a beer at a bar and doesn’t tip?

Non-refundable cruise change question.
mjkacmom replied to sm3ds's topic in Royal Caribbean International
United economy does, basic economy doesn’t allow changes even with a fee. -
NCL usually adds the drink package for $20 pp per day (gratuities).
-
These excursions are mimicking exuma, where feral pigs have lived for years, but instead they just bring farm pigs to a beach. It makes no sense to me.
-
It’s really not a huge problem in the industry.
-
I think that poster was joking about the iceberg, of course you are entitled to the fcc.
-
NCL has solo cabins on newer ships.
-
I think most still have refrigerators.
-
I did see that, but since the total price is $165 and not negotiable, that’s the cost (my family paid $1155 for passports).
-
As I stated earlier, my entire family has valid passports, but I also know folks who’s only I international travel have been closed looped cruises. BTW I believe it’s now $165 (and at least here it can be a pita to get them).

Christmas Cruise on the Getaway
mjkacmom replied to christinaed0419's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Crowds on literally the busiest travel week of the year? You don’t say. -
And the chance of needing to fly back, and in an emergency situation, is very very small. It’s a calculated risk that a lot of people take.
-
I’m aware of that, but $1000 or so for passports for the family to take a cruise where passports aren’t necessary might seem wasteful.
-
My family of 7 has passports, but it definitely cost more than $120 for our family, I completely understand what families cruise without passports.

Can a child sleep in a different cabin on the couch?
mjkacmom replied to geopuzzle's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
On the newer ships there are large ocean view cabins. -
How late can we leave booking vibe and thermal spa
mjkacmom replied to Wintersun48's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Considering until recently you could only get vibe passes if you were the first onboard running to get them, I wouldn’t wait to book online, I’d just plan to cancel if I went with the spa option, getting spa passes onboard was always much easier than vibe passes. -
If the first person is over 21, they get the UDP, in the 2nd is a child, they get the soda package and just pay gratuities on that. The 3rd doesn’t have to purchase anything.
-
That’s how it worked with my 19 and 20 year olds.
-
My kids all had the app downloaded, we paid for texting, I don’t recall having to do anything else.

Bringing 19 year old friends without their parents?
mjkacmom replied to Blondie511's topic in Carnival Cruise Lines
I agree, and I don’t think NCL will issue the waiver unless it’s signed by a legal guardian onboard.
