What a great explanation, JSar. Thank you very much!

I am "entitled" to 3 specialty dining meals from More at Sea. But what, if anything, will I pay extra? It is too early for me to book, but the specialty restaurant descriptions all say "A 20% gratuity and specialty service charge will be charged at time of payment". Thanks.

Yep, that's what I was quoting from. The package refers to bottles,then they talk about sustainable containers. Contradictory. Hence my question. Not much clearer now as some responders refer to aluminum bottles and others to cans.

Oh, thank you. I will forgo ordering in case they are using cans. That would not be good for carrying around the ship.

Looking at ordering a water package and the information appears contradictory. I want the 12 bottle half liter package, but the text reads "Norwegian Cruise Line has replaced all single-use plastic bottles across the fleet with sustainable water containers that are refillable and recyclable." So will I get 12 actual bottles?

Thanks, I looked at my account and it did say my uploaded document is being processed. I must have missed the initial acknowledgement. It sure was easier when all you had to do was send in a form! I am not really comfortable with sharing any information with this app, but getting $600 OBC on upcoming trips is worth it.

How long does it take to hear back from Stockperks? I took a photo and uploaded it yesterday but have heard nothing yet.

Other cruise lines discount their drink packages from time to time, and by checking frequently I have been able to snag a relative bargain once or twice. Does Cunard ever adjust their drink package prices?

Thanks, Philly. Found it although it says it'll be available at noon.

Thanks. But they do say to get it from the app so that is why I was looking for it.

Sailing tomorrow but I cannot find the health questionnaire in the app. Thanks.

Can I buy a bottle of wine at a bar and take it to my cabin?

I did not know the loyalty programs had been merged. Thanks. Have to look into that. On my ACL trip I felt like such a newbie - so very many people who had taken lots of trips with them!

I really don't recall numbers of choices, but that sounds about right. With only about 100 passengers they cannot have a huge menu. I never felt I was missing out, but of course people have different ideas about food. I thought the service was very good, and the open seating provided a great opportunity to meet lots of people.

Yes. I took a New England coastal cruise on the American Eagle last fall. It was a lovely trip. The accommodations were top-notch, and so were the food and entertainment. A different experience from AQV (we took about 6 trips on the AQ) but I liked ACL so much that I booked another trip while onboard the Eagle. Pearl Seas is another line that I liked.

They have "encountered an occurrence"? What does that mean? Not sure that is even good English! So sad, we have loved AQV.

Thank you!

Hi...going on a 12 day transatlantic this spring and I know I will have to send some things out. I know about the $35-ish bag special for tee shirts, pj's etc, but I think I will need to have some nicer things taken care of. Does anyone have the slips showing the prices per item? Thanks.

Thanks, Biker19.

Will I get something on my pre-cruise documents that identify me as a Key holder? Or is this not designated until check-in? Have not been on RCCL for a long time - do they still use cards that you receive at check in?

Thanks so much for posting this. I did this and got the credit in about 24 hours!

Breaks my heart. My late husband and I took about 6 or 7 trips on the AQ and loved it. Only issue was the 2019 Mighty Mississippi cruise having to be diverted due to conditions on the river. They brought someone on board to change everyone's return flights and paid any additional charges and transported us to the airport at their expense. Sounds like a different entity since then! I might have considered a solo trip but not with everything I am reading now.

Or you could do what I am doing next spring. I will go eastbound on another cruise line (shudder), spend 6 days in London, then go home on the QM2.

I am probably not allowed to name it, but there is at least one website which shows detailed deck plans. If there is a sofa bed in a particular cabin, it is indicated by a +. I suggest you look for one of these websites and check your assigned cabin.

It was the third sailing of the American Eagle. My first on ACL - had been on Pearl Mist last fall. Experience very similar: good food, interesting ports with good excursions available, nice people, excellent service. The ship was pristine. Many Eagle Society (past cruisers) members. I almost felt like I was regarded as an anomaly. (I have cruised many times BTW on US river cruises and ocean cruises). My cabin was a single - 217 - and it was not large by ACL or Pearl Mist standards. Kind of cramped getting to the closet. Few drawers, but lots of open shelves. Odd. Nice bathroom. Decent balcony. Loved the size of the ship. Smooth trip, although one night we had some turbulence. Fast up and down movement, not side to side. Over in a short while. Did come home with Covid but mild case and over it quickly. Do not recall seeing a single mask on board. Will be glad to answer any questions.
