Yes I became sapphire at January cruise. The app does recognize me as such. I just didn’t understand why it is showing I can book November 4th which is 120 days before march 3 cruise. I guess if it doesn’t automatically change I will end up calling.

You may not know the answer but i will ask. I still have the NCL app on my phone from January 2023 cruise. It is updated with my upcoming cruise and also shows me going from platinum to sapphire. If i click on to dinning to check out the menus it says too early to book check back nov 4. That is 120 days before my march 3,2024 cruise. What happen to the 125 days for sapphire? I wouldn’t worry about it but. With our heath issues it is a nut we early.

The lunch menu here is spot on. Was in breakaway in January and I remember all the items listed . I had the cheeseburger and it was awesome.

On breakaway in January . My cabin was serviced twice a day and the freestyle daily was delivered. I will say my cabin was always neat and it took just a few minutes to do a few chores. when walking down the hall I saw the cabin stewards cleaning cabins that looked like a bomb blew up in there so maybe those slobs was only getting it once a day since it took most of the morning to put it back together.

Rooms are usually ready around 2:00 an announcement is made when ready. the dinning room will be open for lunch. Ask for directions or check out the deck plans ahead and know your direction. Also O’Shenhans will be open. We prefer the dinning room. you can check in online at 21 days eastern standard time (whatever time it is for you) I used my iPad . Only problem is I didn’t read full directions for the picture you need . CAN NOT have glasses on. So have a picture ready to use or will need to do a selfie at that time. we rarely do any excursions anymore so not real up to date on that. I do know they can sell out. Happened to us. If you have dining package you can make those reservations at 125 days out. Do it!! Also if you have a party of an odd number round up your party count.

Actually i use the stems to hold the strawberry. No mess that way.

One little trick I used. When doing an email do the email THEN sign in to send it. also if two people in cabin (example husband and wife) and one primary person will be using it they will transfer all minutes to one persons phone.

Also if you use your card there is a 3% fee added each time you use it.

But I think because they have been able to break the rules up until now it is all of a sudden a news flash. We have brought grandkids on MANY cruises and always followed the guidelines. I always knew ahead the rules and stuck with them. Never in a million years would I think a 15 year old could eat of a kids menu anywhere.

Have sailed Breakaway 3 times. Once out of Miami and twice out of New Orleans. I think possibly the ship gets a bad wrap from the screwed up embarkation in New Orleans. Joking/not joking. We were almost 2 hours leaving port. last sailing was in January and everything was great. I will say I don’t ever remember the hundreds of people in the lobby before(or was it thousands) try to go to the service desk and ask a question and carry on a conversation with the microphone blaring and people yelling. Not a good fit. for me the food was good but I find by mid week not a lot pleases me cause I am just tired of eating so damn much every day.

I had a coffee pot delivered to my cabin and used the packet of coffee for the machine and I was fine. My daughter was too lazy to do the same and did not like the dinning room coffee and would stop and get a cup from Starbucks on way to breakfast. We never did the Buffett so not sure how it was. In the past my husband would get some from Buffett later in the day. This was all on the breakaway.

Yes you can use for sushi. My daughter and granddaughter did it and you get choice of 4 things. They nearly blew up eating so much. Lol by the way you cant make a reservation.

Rather than look at excursions on the app maybe go to main NCL web site and see if you can find something on it. we have actually tendered in roatan before (used life boats)

Sadly many people aren’t even checked in for that time frame.

Like I said earlier on breakaway Jan 8-15 and was definitely charged. It was actually my granddaughter that ordered it and waitress charged to me (she told me she was doing it) funny thing we had a mixed bag of platinum and dinning package (3 of us) the dinning package did not even max out what all they could order.

BTW no glasses on

We cruised breakaway January 8-15 and the 10.00 up charge was still on menu for crab cake. Take my word it was billed to us. (Only one person got it)

Keep in mind the taste and savor is only open from like noon-1:30

You should of done that 130 days before the cruise so good luck with that now. mom the Breakaway in January Headliners was set up for reservations. I would do it right away in hopes of grabbing a decent time.

Regarding the Starbucks gift cards. Recently on Breakaway I ask if I could use gift cards. Actually I ask wring question but he said as long as they were applied to the Starbucks app. That is what I do anyway so I was good to go. I get gift cards for rewards from visa and put on the app. So that may of been the case and they didn’t go into detail for you.

Sorta bad advice about bringing anything onboard. Watched the clerk make the girl in front of me toss simple water in garbage in a clear see thru water bottle.

I was on breakaway January 8-15.we had 200 crew getting off and 200 new crew coming on. We did not carry our luggage off but in the platinum group (8:00) and was jumping in the car before 8:30. When we heard about the big crew change was somewhat afraid it may slow things but no everything was slick.

When you go to book the vacation planner at NCL can tell you. They have immediate access to this info.

If you have colored ink in your printer and do not switch settings to B/W only it should automatically print in color.

Yeah too much food for 2 people. I wonder why they are open for lunch on so e cruises and not others. Was not open for lunch last month.
