Looking for some advice. We are doing the TA on Journey on November the 5th and like most passengers on this cruise have a generous amount of OBC due to the restrictions on visiting Cuba. We are both looking to purchase the Ultimate Drinks Package and I will be utilising my LCV benefit of 10%. Every booking ever made by us has been in my name and I never enrolled my wife in the programme. Could someone please confirm that I will get 10% off the total cost of the two packages as the charges for the cabin are on my card. Thanks in advance for any advice offered.

Don't know why there are no excursions listed but I can advise that as St Thomas is a US territory you encounter US immigration. At St Thomas US immigration come on board and set up a base in a lounge area. Every passenger on the ship has to have their passport stamped and issued with an immigration card. This is a long process and on our last cruise there the wait was well over an hour. In fact it was taking so long I decided that I did not wish to spend my day in a queue went back to my sunbed and waited to they announced any remaining passengers to attend immigration got seen right away and then went off ship.

This is easily doable on your own. Once you get off the ships tender head into town and walk to your right head along a couple of hundred metres keeping the sea on your right and head for the beach area the entrance to the train station is on your left at a set of steps at the end of a restaurant. The price of a return ticket will be no more than 5 euros return. This link to Tom Ogg's port reviews is handy.

Panic! I have booked a cabin on tui discovery for January two weeks Caribbean. Just read a comment by a lady on discovery Facebook page that she is embarking the week before for two weeks with MY cabin number. Hope this number works tomorrow...on a Sunday. :(

The person who is occupying your cabin the week before you arrive is probably on a cruise and stay and will leave for their hotel the day of your arrival should not think you need to worry.

My wife and I are considering a future cruise on NCL Sprit with an all inclusive drinks package as part of the fare. I would imagine that the package is Corks and Caps. My question is can you upgrade to the Ultimate package online before you sail or onboard. Thanks for any help.

We were in Cabin 6238 on Reflection last October which is next door to your cabin. Slept like a baby the whole cruise and never heard a sound mind you a couple of Coming up Roses from the Molecular Bar of a night along with some Chocolate Martinis may have helped. The balcony is larger because you are on the hump and you are positioned at the end of the lifeboats so they are not really much of an obstruction.

You have to try a Coming up Roses in the Molecular Bar without a doubt the nicest drink my wife and I have ever tasted but be careful they pack a kick.
