30 days out and no room assignment yet! This is fun!

Our family did the Dane last year over NYE. I would book now as we never found a lower price. As it is a holiday cruise the prices just kept going up!

snow bunny

Should be about $15 including tip, depending on traffic.

We managed to fit four of us plus luggage and the cost with tip was $15.

When do dining reservations normally open for a cruise? How many days out?

They recently amended the date to 90 days out!

I'm new to the UDP. So, you can use it at multiple locations in one night? Cool! Can you use it at the same restaurant more than once?

DD and I have the UDP and we booked Cagneys twice on our upcoming Getaway cruise!

So me and Dw are booked on the Getaway sailing on October 4. We booked a BX balcony room ( guaranteed room but no assignment yet) we did this two years ago on the NCL SKY and ended up in a normal balcony, which was fine with us. Looking at the deck plans it looks like there's only a few designated BX rooms available on deck eight, so my question is, has anyone booked this? How are the rooms? Did you get an upgrade? Etc... Thanks!

DD and I are literally in the same boat! Booked our BX Gty with no room assigned yet. I am good with waiting but hope we are assigned a room before we arrive at the port!

I think that the DO25 is a Latitudes OBC. I looked at my booking and we have a Latitudes fare and as we have a balcony the OBC is $50 for the stateroom and my "portion" is the $25 listed. We also have PSC which is our service charge which I prepaid. Neither my purchased OBC or our TA OBC show up on the vacation summary, I need to look under booked items on our first day and that is where the rest show!

Can I bring my DD to the Silver party with me? She is only at Bronze level but we are travelling in the same room.

snow bunny

Thanks, looks like we are going to have a great time!

My DD and I have the UDP for our upcoming Getaway cruise. As our TA covered the cost for one if us it really made sense to take the package. We were planning on doing the Illusionarium and on the first night it is free. So with that in mind, the actual extra cost to me is about $60.00 since the premium seating would have been $58.00. I used a previous cruisers dailies to book our dinners and we are eating as early as 5:30 and as late as 8:00. On the early nights, if we need a late night snack we will head to O'Sheehans for something.

Sorry but NCL no longer allows this. We would have liked this on our NYE cruise but were advised that it is a hazard so...no!

snow bunny

And for those watching here going to Miami airport. Cab is your fastest and cheapest option. Both ways.

Thank you, exactly what we hoped for. Staying in the Fort Lauderdale area pre cruise so was no too sure about transport after!

My DD and I plan on getting dressed up each night! First ever trip as Mom and Daughter by ourselves and we both tend to dress up, but won't worry if no one elase is as it is "freestyle"!

snow bunny

We have always been Mom and DD, just never traveled just the two of us!!!

Booked my Getaway in April, paid in full well ahead of time but no assignment yet! DD and I will enjoy whatever balcony we are assigned as she has cruised twice before with us but in an OV and last time an inside! I have only twice done a guarantee booking and both times we ended up with favourable room assignments. Here's hoping we keep the streak alive!:D

It has been stated that NCL will not move you from one room to an open one in the same category. I have a BX for my October Getaway cruise but have not yet received a room. I have done guarantee rooms on two different lines. The first time on RRCL I was not a CC member so had no clue about the possibility of changing the cabin. Second time was on Celebrity where they do allow you to move from one cabin to another. As a result we went from forward port side to midship starboard on our Mediterranean cruise! And this time I am aware of the NCL policy that I cannot change cabins after assignment, no biggie!

Can you get three points per night for booking 9+ months ahead AND using a latitude insider offer?

We did on our NYE cruise! 21 points for the 7 night cruise.

snow bunny

But it worked for me as I purchased this the last time it came up so DD and I can do the ride in October when we are there per cruise.

snow bunny

I would have loved this option on our NYE cruise as we were a family group of 8. Would have made it much easier as we were told once on the ship that as a group we could not pre-book the dining unless we went really early every day.

snow bunny

Does the Getaway have an all day access pass?

snow bunny

To clarify...reservations that can be made prior to the cruise are only for the specialty restaurants which you are charged an extra fee ($15-$30 per person). You cannot make reservations for the MDR - and I believe that if you do require a reservation for the MDR (as in a larger group trying to sit together) that needs to happen once on board.

While this may have been true in the past, they do have the option for my Getaway booking in October to book the "complimentary" dining venues! The only one not listed is O'Sheehans!!

snow bunny

Thank you Daghis, this is perfect as I am trying to figure out our dining for October!

snow bunny

Because you're sailing on Diamond Princess. ;)

Actually am on the Getaway in October! The options show up but I cannot select anything!:mad:

snow bunny

Why are the options there for me to book both entertainment and dining but it says it is unavailable?? I would have thought that when they showed up that I would be able to book!!!

snow bunny

Check the Value Trips to see what the Hyatt on 17th is priced at! Have stayed here twice and will be doing a third trio here in October!

snow bunny

Do you recall what time the rooms were ready? It sounds like there is no place to drop off the carry on luggage so I am hoping the rooms are ready early!
