Figured it was something like that.  It just bothers me for no real reason to have to wait until 3 weeks pre cruise to take photos and all that...lol

Decided to go with an excursion that meets at 1030.  Then it gets me off the ship as soon as possible and still leaves the afternoon free.  Time for some sting rays I think.

I much preferred the old way and the check-in way out.  I just like to mark that as done...

Anyone know why they chose 21 days?

And seems that the board for grand cayman has come to life again...some new information there.

Trying to see what there is to do, if it is still a tender port, shopping right off the tender or just excursion to stingrays?

Kind of a short stop, 10am - 6pm.  Would have liked just a beach day, but no excursions to do just that.

Seems like this plan will work.  Especially since it will be in February, and @debenson0723 actually did it.  

You can also off load them very easily.  Several FB groups out there.  you would then get your $125 back.

I still remember one of the best shows, Elements.  Try to find it and see it over and over.

Gonna move higher.  I have the NCL points to move up.  Not that there is a freak show going on, but I prefer not to lock eyes with anyone while on the balcony.  lol.

Right now 9748, looks to be far end of photo gallery and not quite to tech at sea. 

Above the concourse. 

Bid on a Spa balcony, but who knows when or if that will happen.

I just randomly grabbed a deck 9 balcony and then heard that people on the 8th deck walking area can see right into the room because the deck goes out further than the balconies.

Any truth to that?

I would think they might specifically avoid them.  Imagine booking everyone on those lines, then have a ship cancel or a person cancel.  Lots of airfare to eat.

But I could see if your selected gateway is a location thats a hub. I would also think that they get some kind of serious discount with the airlines at least to put it on par.  Having flown once on Frontier, and once on Spirit, I would never choose the Free airfare if those were the carriers.

Change your booking to an OA and then use 30000 points for OA to BA.

Then still bid.

Too late for that one, past final payment and 70 days to go.

Just ran across this thread and didn't realize I had enough points.

So here is one, better to wait for a bid to a spa balcony that might not happen or just withdraw the bid and use 20k to BF to BA?

Be careful!  We learned that your wifi minutes are removed at midnight on your last full cruise day.  Our flight ( from London) on disembarkation day was delayed by 5 hours and we couldn’t access the airline or flightaware screens because our 30 minutes we had saved were deleted.  We were in a suite so the concierge used his phone to help us.

Wanted to say this same thing.  When they say 7 days, they mean 7 days.  Cut off on the minute...lol

Hi! This was also not available for me when checking the app or online, so I called NCL and they did it within a few minutes. They only charged for the difference between what I had already paid for (2 extra dinners x 2, shore excursion for pax 2), so you get an immediate discount based on what you've already paid/covered by the PLUS program. We are on a 5-night with 2 ports, and it worked out well for us.

Based on the drink package, might have to wait until I take all the offers.

Would you mind saying what you paid for the Plus?  was it just the $49 x 5?

I always book through NCL, just easier.  Just reaching out the NCL is usually the way I go, but wanted to do some prices, see what it would do for me.

It sounds like it would work for the excursions, tend to book via NCL for those.  Personal preference.

Would def work for the upgraded internet. Wife always gets unlimited.

And would work for Specialty dining. Love that food.

at $49 pp/pd about $350 each, $700 total for the 7 day.

Savings would be - $119 each for internet.  $240, leaving $460 break even

Saving would be - $200 for extra excursion savings, $260 break even

Savings would be - $140 for two extra meals, $120 remaining break ever.

So, without beverage a net $120 loss.

Don't drink, but would use it for the Coffee's, sodas, juices and waters.  But without pricing the initial drink package, savings is hard to calculate.

These seem to be on track?

I can't find it on the upgrades and doesn't seem to be available on new bookings.

Is this only available to certain people or certain rooms?

Thanks for any pointers, been searching and read about people using it and what to do after getting it, but no luck on how to actually get it.

I get the cheapskate thing...lol...but at the same time, what does the 3rd person want more?  Those are two very different eating experiences, and personally those are the two I always choose.

Cagneys is so good and the food is out of this world, the Teppanyaki is delicious, but less of an upscale experience.   

Teppanyaki is better than the local place where I am at, but not on the same level.  I hate to be that person, but you are on vacation and with a price difference of maybe $20ish, I would go steak all the way.  🙂

I did see the general locations, e.g. chi-ord, 12 Feb...But no times or anything, I am still 130 days out, was curious if NCL would give out the details or if they simply do not have them at all.

Fairly certain that It is united, they have a flight that matches. ORD-EWR-CHI.  Do they often change the initial information?  Or could I at least count on that same flight information?

I need to set up a flight from hometown to Chicago, but only the dates are showing up right now.

Its a February 12, 2022 cruise, but wanted to get the flight information as soon as possible.  Do they know this information before they post It?

Or do I just schedule the flight the night before and the next day?  I have always booked my own flights so I am new to letting them book It.

If a rebook by the 12th of December, they offered a 10% discount, 30% off as well and all 5 free at seas.

So not a bad deal, considering its all FCC right now and will be going back to FCC.

Just saw a post appear about 4 below this one.  Got my answers

Well dang, just posted almost a similar question.

Good to see its possible, just need to call.

Has any one received an extension to their cruise next certificates?

 I had 6, all of them are expiring June 2021, I am able to use two of them for a Feb 2021 cruise, and possible book another with another 2.

Still leaves 2, is there any talk of getting another year on the expiration dates?
