I just booked the Meraviglia for August.... I checked excursions and Non-YC Cabanas are sold out!!!!  Do they open more up?  Will there be ones available day of?  (do they only allow some of them to re reserved ahead of time)  Anyone who faced sold out in advance able to land one?  TIA

Unfortunately had to cancel a cruise.... I have insurance so am covered.  I am getting half back from NCL (prepaid stuff, gratuities, port / taxes)  and half from insurance.  My question is how doe NCL refund the money?  I used multiple different cards to pay for stuff... so they just refund back to each?  or all to one card?  Do they mail a check?

Thanks

Headed out on the NCL Joy this sunday... has anyone cruised out of NYC during fleet week?  Is the Manhattan Cruise terminal a shitshow? 

I have brought back a case (12 liters) many times and customs told me they dont even care if the duty due is less than $100... as long as you declare it

We sail on May 20 on the Getaway.  I won a bid this morning from an Ocean view on deck 5 to a balcony on deck 10. It was not, IMO, a "high" bid, and I was shocked we got it.  But "high" is subjective.  I  think I just got lucky.

 

But, the scuttlebutt has always been that one is most likely to win a bid from an ocean view to something else......so here is my anecdotal "evidence."

where in the range did you bid? low to middle?

Are they still taking/ uploading headshots during online check in?  Do I need any info off my birth certificate to enter?  Trying to figure out what info I need to collect from others in my cabin

TIA

Going on the Joy at the end of May.... I have head that Capitan Morgan has been out of stock...  I have also heard that they are no longer stocking it (doing away with it), its been replaced by Kraken or something else....  Any insight would be appreciated 

Does NCL CAS let you earn points for poker play?  I have heard the rakes are a joke (10%) but my BIL loves poker... will he earn points on his card?

I am looking at setting up a $5k line of credit with NCL CAS.... How does the approval process work?  Do I need to have a checking account with at least $5k balance?  Will I get it approved if my average balance is less?  I have plenty of cash but don't keep it in my daily checking account.   I know they run your credit too, I don't have any other debt (other than my mortgage)

With the service cut to once a day… what about cabins with 3 or 4 people that have Pullman beds.  Will they remain out/open all day? Will someone come back in the evening to make them up? (Not a full 2nd service)

Looking at the Joy- Club Balcony vs. Family Club Balcony… is there any difference besides the ability to fit 4/5 people?

Is the size or amenities different?

TIA

I just received an email from the upgrade fairy for a may cruise on the Joy. We booked an aft-facing balcony & pre-paid the DSC before the increase. 

 

My question is this. If we upgrade to a suite or to the Haven, will we get charged the higher DSC, and which of 3 amounts will they charge? 

1- Difference between current balcony & suite charge (I think it's $5 per person per day.

2- Difference between 2022 balcony & suite charge.

3- Difference between what we paid ($15.50) and the current suite charge ($25).

 

 

What is your sail date? we are on the Joy May 28th and looking for upgrade  TIA

I would expect that your steward will take care of this for you.

Not since they cut the twice-daily service to once a day

Does anyone know what type of lock/ key the Pullman has?  I assume is like the balcony divider (4 way key)

Can a CAS host make reservations at specialty restaurants for you? Do they have “pull” to get you into a restaurant that is full?

Booked on the Joy in May.   I would like to surprise the wife and kids with an upgrade.  I used our joint credit card (which wife controls) to make final payment.  Is there a way to use a different credit card during the  Upgrade Advantage? (so she doesnt see the charge)

TIA

Whats going to happen if you have four to a cabin?  Are you expected to pull the beds out of the ceiling?

whats the best way to check cabin availability? is there a particular site to do the mock booking?

Just Chat with Agent... she was able to add it to my reservation (they were no longer shown when I went to do it)

Booked on the Joy to Bermuda in May... Currently in Family outside, what is the highest-level cabin we will be able to bid on?   Suites or Haven?  Do you have to be in Balcony or above to be eligible for the Haven?  TIA

Booked on Joy in Conciege Family Inside Suite... Does it come with a Butler and the higher DSC?

List of extras included? TIA

I am cruising next year with NCL CAS... Would I get more perks/ treated better if I send $5/10k front money or open up casino credit?

I would think I Hosts would see that and want to service me better

Does anyone know if they are doing ANY enhancements/ upgrades during drydock?  Obviously NCL is under a cash crunch, but did not know if they might do somethings making the most of the drydock cost

Anyone know when the Gem is going into Dry Dock?  Will this be a bare- bones operation, or will they make any changes, upgrades, etc.  

I have seen Dry Dock was scheduled for NOV/ DEC in Boston

TIA
