  1. Thanks, will do some more searching but I am not seeing where the additional Elite discount is coming off the price when it is in the cart.
  2. Question: Can the Elite internet discount be combined with the discounted internet packages bought ahead of time? This line from the T & C's seems that they could be combined. Wi-Fi Discount applied to the total price of the Wi-Fi package or upgrade purchased. Combinable with the pre-cruise advantage only.
  3. Went to Gian's Causeway in October. Walked down and then took the bus back up. 1 British pound per person.
  4. I've seen the $35 a day per person for an entire cruise but it is possible just to purchase internet access as needed, meaning on the Days at Sea? If so, what is the cost? Are there ever WiFi deals offered when onboard. Sailing on my first Windstar cruise on Sept. 4 out of Bordeaux.
  5. Found this just now from another thread. As I mentioned yesterday, the terminology is downline. Cruise Wonderland 978 April 8, 2014 Hong Kong #5 Posted May 9, 2022 The official terminology is called "downline". Before the pandemic, cruise lines may allow you to do so. You need to make the downline request in advance (prior to departure) and complete some paperwork. Cruise lines may charge a fee (for example, Royal Caribbean / Celebrity Cruises was USD 65 per person). After the pandemic, some cruise lines no longer approve downline, even if you are willing to pay for a fee. Here is the reply from NCL previously: Approval to embark or disembark mid-cruise may be allowed ONLY in cases of emergencies, for example: 1. Guests miss the ship and wished to embark in the next port of call. 2. Once onboard, a guest becomes ill or has a family emergency and needs to disembark the vessel. No refunds or adjustments will be made for unused portions of a cruise. If any of our guests for any reason wish to not conclude their cruise, they may address this onboard. With valid reason(s), you may embark or disembark at ports of call other than original ones. Please note that you MUST have valid travel document or Visa required for the country that you would like to embark/ disembark. Norwegian Cruise Line will not be responsible for any loss associated with itinerary change such as hotel, transportation or entertainment onshore which is not arranged by NCL directly. And also be aware that even NCL approves it immediately on Day 1 of your cruise, there may be a chance that the ship cannot enter the port of Naples on Day 5 because of various unforseen situations (e.g. bad weather). If you have booked any hotels or air tickets from Naples, NCL will not be responsible for your loss.
  6. Our request went to the Emergency Travel Team AirSeaGFO@rccl.com. Maybe NCL has something similar.
  7. My daughter had to do this a few years ago while we were on a RCCL cruise in the Med. We had to submit a Guest Pre-Downline request that had to be approved ahead of time. She was leaving the ship in Istanbul and the Turkish visa had to be secured ahead of time also.Since 2019, Royal Caribbean no longer allows pre-downline requests but I don't know what the other lines are doing.
  8. There were two different comics on board. We went to the regular show as well as one adult one. We didn't think they were funny at all. Just bad.
  9. The only place I saw crepes this time around was in the "pay for it" ice cream place - Coco's? Husband had lobster on the second night of the cruise.
  10. You will receive an email if you are eligible to bid.
  11. I saw generic fruit loops cereal offered at the buffet on the Encore recently. Thought that was a cost cutter.
  12. Room phones do not travel with you. I think the messaging feature with your phone only works if you have the wifi package. We did not and never could get it to work. Also didn't have a need for it.
  13. I have never seen a check in time that early either. I picked noon for our Prima sailing on the 11th. Just got off the Encore on Nov. 20 and while we checked in at 10:15 a.m. (our time was 12:30 p.m.), we sat and waited. The ship was delayed with disembarkation. Finally got called at 12:50 p.m as a platinum Latitudes. At least the cabin was already ready when we got onboard at 1.
  14. Tom, can you share the link to the bidding site?
  15. Never saw one on the Encore. Just off Nov. 20. Saw people taking glasses to refill their water bottles at the buffet.
