Dawn passengers left “stranded” on African island
spanishguy1970 replied to WonderMan3's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Is been my experience that because people pay for their cruise some feel entitled for the ship to wait for them. We are all required to be on time, plan accordingly. IMO -

spanishguy1970 replied to WonderMan3's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I completely agree. Our private excursion to go to Rome was half the price NCL was going to charge. The company got us to the ship on time and gave each of us ( 10 of us) a bottle of wine and treats once we arrived back to the terminal. -
CruiseNext Triple Up Offer
spanishguy1970 replied to CruisingwiththeSchmidts's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I went to my travel agent to add the Cruise next Certificate to my reservation in October she specifically told us cannot be used for current reservations, only new bookings..She wanted us to cancel and rebook so she could add the 3 certificates but then we would lose our free gratuities plus other perks. We passed -
cruise first you can use towards the payment of the cruise. For instance, you buy 250 and they give you 500 dollars and you apply it to the payment. Cruise next you buy onboard and you use it as a deposit for a future cruise. We asked our PCC and she told us that when you buy cruise first but your cruise goes down in price substantially before the final payment you can't request the lower price. We don't buy cruise first.

Norwegians shocking demise of quality on all fronts
spanishguy1970 replied to JT222's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I wouldn't say we are loyalists, but we have only done NCL because of the freestyle and itineraries that interest us. We would consider Celebrity as another option, this said, in all the years we have done NCL we definitely have seen the decline on their services. The entertainment is either all magic shows, hypnotists or stuff that really don't interest us. On our last cruise for 16 days, we definitely experienced the quality and variety in the MDR menu questionable not to mention repetitive. We definitely see NCL more for less approach now. I particularly liked Kevin Sheehan approach on customer service better than Del Rio, but that's us. -
Newbie question - what is Keycard Recognition

Just off the Epic, boy has the food gone downhill!
spanishguy1970 replied to ready2cruzagain's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
on our last cruise on the NCL Spirit 16 days we did notice the MDR menu was very repetitive we opted to go to paid restaurants. I remember the days when you can count on NCL to have new items on their menu. -
well if you look at their new Special offer the 2nd person cruises for free but when you do the final tally that is not true either. We never take the drinking package because we are not drinkers, we buy a drink here and there, use our onboard credit given to us by our travel agent 🙂

Oh, for the love of Cookies! Say it ain't so...
spanishguy1970 replied to Birdnutty's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
LOL no i meant ship tenders (boats), I was being sarcastic. I was talking about NCL enthusiasts that defend NCL no matter what. -

spanishguy1970 replied to ready2cruzagain's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We have never been on an MSC cruise but heard from people who have and they say food on those ships are mainly pastas, and not as good. We are going on the Epic in April, i hope it does get better. -

spanishguy1970 replied to Birdnutty's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
My companion is a diabetic and he likes to take cookies to the stateroom and have a snack at night time specially if his sugar levels are too low. He looks for them, is just the easiest snack. I have to admit the last two cruises they have been hard to find, but when we asked we were told to find them around 3 o'clock to 5 in the buffet, tea time they said. -

there will be a time when NCL will get rid of tenders and NCL defenders will excuses why that is a good thing 🤣🙂 🙂 -

Price for NCL Jewel Thermal Spa?
spanishguy1970 replied to ready2cruzagain's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
prices usually range from $309 to $359 depending on length of cruise and which ship. -
you have been busy with posts 🙂 since 2021. I have been here since 2010 and i just don't have the time. Well done.

my answer will always be Tip what your pocket allows, no one needs to know how much you tip, is nobody business. IMO. Happy cruising.

the gathering is a one time thing. Some people think that gathering is on every cruise well is not, but you do get 10% off the base fare on every cruise you book. Our gathering was on the NCL Spirit, it was well planned out and really nice. Enjoy your cruise

spanishguy1970 replied to Monica887's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
We have gotten items back from NCL that have come back tore, with holes or discolored, and these were new underwear, shirts etc but hey free laundry wash is great 🙂
