Thanks everyone...Yes, PMS4104, I was looking for a plastic gift card.

Does anyone know if there is a place/way to purchase a HA gift card?

Don't get me wrong--I am sure that the ship doctor are well qualified--I am not saying anything against them and I am very thankful they are there. In fact, as we pulled into one of our ports, we noticed an ambulance evacuating someone from our ship. So we are very thankful that the medical staff was on board to help that person in need. Also, everytime we cruise we do get the insurance and thankfully have never had to use it, so quite frankly, it never even occurred to me that a little thing like this would even be covered (our personal health insurance also will not cover ship board claims)....what tripped me up was that at 11:30 in the morning it was an afterhours visit. And then I read on here that it is because office hours are only two hours a day. That is all I was saying. For someone with no experience in this area, this was a real eyeopener for me. I posted my question here because I was puzzled. Thanks for clearing it up for me the 'afterhours' issue for me. I am truly grateful that "there is a doctor in the house" each time I cruise! :)

Got on the ship in January with a cold...full blown respiratory infection by day 2. Stopped by the med center and was told Dr was only there 10-11 and 5-6, and it was 105 copy. No thanks. Paid a doctor 50 bucks cash in St Maarten, and paid he pharmacy $15 for a ZPack.

Well, if the Doctor is only "IN" 2 hours a day that explains why at 11:15 am I was quoted $145.00 for an 'after hours call'. On our 02/24/13 Star cruise I had an upper respiratory infection going on and was on a z-pack..but still felt like crap. I went down 24 hours in advance and ask to cancel a NCL shore excursion and the Customer Service gal told me I would need to see the doctor and have him advise me not to go, for $145.00 since I wasn't giving them 48 hours notice....but she thought I should just take some throat lozenges and I'd be fine. Interestingly, a couple of days later, NCL canceled our next shore excursions without warning or apology because of weather. :rolleyes:

:rolleyes:I was wondering if any of you have had to visit the Ship Doctor...what time was it? How much did he charge you?

So, now that I know all about my cabin...does anyone know where the entrance to the kids club is?:confused:

14070 has the bed by the balcony and the other 2 rooms have the bed by the door. I don't believe they can 'remove' the dividers but I imagine that they could open them for you though.

 

It is pretty easy to know where the bed is in any balcony/mini stateroom. If you look at the deck plans, every room has a straight wall. Simply look at the opposite wall of that room and wherever the bulge INTO the room is will be the location of the sofa. Take a look at your rooms and you will see what I mean.

 

Have a great cruise.

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! That is what makes this site so awesome!! It is so nice to be able to plan ahead....

:D

Ok---I have Epic cabins 14066, 14070 and 14074--- are the beds by the balcony or the entrance door? And---can the dividers on the balcony be opened or removed? This is so exciting---and you guys are so smart!!

:D

I notice that there is about a $700 difference between flying in/out of Vancouver and flying in/out of Seattle---does anyone know if there is a shuttle between the two ports?? We are, of course, planning to leave from Port of Vancouver---but find the air fare to Seattle much more to my pocketbooks' liking---I am thinking that the hike would be too much--lol.:eek:

Although I love my T-mobile service at home---we didn't have any signal

on our Inside Passage cruise from the moment we left Vancover.

We had checked coverage before we left and had taken a phone card

along.

You will love the cruise!!!
