LET'S GO OUT TO EAT ON A CARNIVAL CRUISE SHIP

1. Arrive at restaurant with your three month old single-use surgical mask, still slightly sticky from this morning's 84oz diet Pepsi

2. Strap up with three month old single-use surgical mask.

*MAGICAL ANTI-GERM BARRIER ENGAGED!!!*

3. Proceed into restaurant, opening door with same handle grabbed by 200 people so far today.

4. Hostess has immediate seating for your woke party of three. Walk past entire restaurant of unmasked people. It's ok, they're sitting.

5. Sit down.

*SEATED ANTI-GERM FORCEFIELD ENGAGED!!!*

6. Safely within your anti-germ forcefield, remove mask. Browse menu while making relaxed inhales of the same recirculated AC air previously inside the lungs of the 200 people that also grabbed the door handle.

7. Waitress drops off drinks bare handed.

8. Grab drink with your bare hand. Sip leisurely, secure in knowing you're within your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness.

9. Too many drinks. Need to pee. Put on your magical anti-germ barrier mask as you leave your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness.

10. Walk past 40 unmasked restaurant patrons. Open bathroom with same door knob grabbed by 100 other people so far today.

11. Return to table past same 40 unmasked restaurant patrons.

12. Remove mask. Once again safe in your anti-germ forcefield of seatedness. Waitress takes your sweaty drink glass with her bare hand, refills, hands back to you. You accept with your bare hand. Grab some bread and eat it. Same hand. Yum Yum.

13. Meal complete. Mask on. Walk past 40 unmasked patrons. Make full body contact with at least 4 people waiting at the hostess stand as you squeeze your way back to the door - no matter, they're all also wearing their magical anti-germ barriers.

14. Grab exit handle, which you are now the 220th person of the day to touch. Eating out successful.

15. Breathe a sigh of relief knowing that even after leaving the protection of your home and venturing out into the scary world of the public, you are essentially sterile thanks to your state approved methods of magical germ mitigation.

Absolutely spot on. 

/sarcasm/ BUT DON'T YOU CARE ABOUT THE SCIENCE!!! /sarcasm/ 

Statistically, they have just as much of a chance catching it from anywhere they go in public as they do on the ship. The only way to not be exposed to the virus is to live in a bunker with sealed/sterilized ventilation. There are more cases of illness and side-effects associated with the vaccines in healthy teens than there are with the virus itself. 

Why do people book through a TA then come here with unanswered questions?

 

Shouldn't these issues be resolved by the TA? :confused:

Haven't booked yet and trying to get my ducks in a row before I do so. I'm not in a position to call the TA right now but figured I'd post a quick thread and get input to clear up some initial confusion.

Thanks for the helpful reply though...

I don't think they will be able to log into MyNCL and make payments or call NCL to make payments since it is being booked through a TA. All payments will have to be made through the Travel Agent (which we aren't allowed to name). But each cabin should be able to call and make their own payments through the TA.

Thank you all who have chimed in. I appreciate it. :)

I understand that there will be a lead person in each cabin who will lead the reservation in each of their respective cabins. I use the term "group" loosely, meaning the general party of cruisers that I am booking together. Not quite at the "group" number in terms of discounts though.

Hi folks,

I'm the delegated cruise leader in my group of 13 and will be handling the booking/planning for our planned 4 night cruise on the Sky in January. I have a couple questions that I need to get answered before booking and hopefully y'all can help me out. I plan on booking through BJ's travel as I have in the past.

1 - I understand that one person/credit card must be charged for the booking, therefore I have collected the initial $100 deposits from everybody in our group to get the ball rolling for the booking. Once I make the reservations, will each person in our group be able to complete their final payments with their individual credit cards or will I be required to gather the funds and pay the final balance on my credit card?

2 - If everybody is allowed to pay individually, will there be any financial repercussions for me, since I made the booking, if someone does not pay off their individual balance? Or would the person who hasn't paid their balance by the due date be liable for any cancellation fees?

Basically, once the booking is complete via my credit card, will the rest of the group be able to call NCL and make their final payment with 12 separate credit cards on the booking in my name?

I have searched all over and can't find specific answers. I figured I'd make a thread and get input, then give NCL a call tomorrow morning when I have time.

Thank you!
