Friends of our did the same thing with to us on the Dawn out of Tampa. We were suppose to go to Bermuda together the summer before, Heather had fallen and broken her foot. Fast forward 5 months later my wife and I are on board, I'm texting my buddy Ken and he is telling me how lousy the weather is at home etc... We go and do our lifeboat drill and get back to our cabin for sail away. Their is a note on the door (NCL) stating we must come to guest services to pick up a package. I'm thinking what the heck is this about? We walk down to guest services and get in line, my wife is in front of me. I feel a top on my shoulder and sure enough its Heather and Ken. To say we were surprised was an understatement. Now here is the weird part. Heather and Ken booked the cruise about 2 weeks prior to the sail date. When she called she was able to give NCL our names, find out what cabin we had, what excursions we had booked etc... so much for privacy Lol
