My apologies to Cruise Critic, who clearly are not responsible. Thanks to Cruise Critic - the problem seems fixed. Safari CC site working as it should.
Indeed. It would seem that CC and NCL are just as much victims as you and me.
Many thanks to LauraS and the team for finding a resolution and please accept my apologies for any harsh comments. Keep up the good work.- 1

It refers to Studio Ghibli whom one of the founders Hayao Miyazaki is considered one of the greatest film animators of all time. The clock itself was designed by Miyazaki and is stylistically similar one of his films Howl's Moving Castle.
I have seen at least part of Howl's Moving Castle when there’s been nothing else on TV.

I am old and I don't know what a Ghibli is…
I’m old too. I’m guessing it’s nothing to do with a desert wind. Was there a car, a Maserati Ghibli?

We’ve used UBank in Singapore, Hong Kong, France, Spain, Norway,UK. And our daughter borrowed it used it in Japan. No issues. I like it because there are no fees, good exchange rate. And also because I just transfer fairly small amounts at a time across from our main accounts at another bank so if it is lost/compromised, we can’t lose much.
Yes, that’s how I used to use the Citibank card.

Careful which card you choose. There are two with very similar names. Ubank is owned by NAB. UP bank is owned by Bendigo Bank.
Which would you recommend?

Discussion about the NCL pop-up ad are being consolidated to a thread on the Help forum.
I have also emailed both NCL and Cruise Critic about this issue and would encourage others to do the same. 😁

Thanks, Kat.
I have now emailed Laura.
I realise that Cruise Critic is international and wonder what "regular weekday business hours" means. It’s currently about 9:20am on Friday here in NSW, Australia. -

Can you reduce the size of the screen? ie: zoom out.
Its a bloody annoying add, all it does is irritate me, not make me interested in seeing what there offering.
Maybe CC have been paid a bonza for the ad, but think most probably, so smart arse hijack of the site.
If I reduce the screen size my arms won’t be long enough to see it. 🤓🔎

I watched it, it disappeared
Define "watched".
I tried clicking on "learn more" in the forlorn hope of making it disembark but the link didn’t work. 🤦♂️
Someone at NCL and someone at CC have dropped the ball on this one.
Hopefully the ad gets pulled.- 1

Hello everyone!
Please note the following from the Guidelines we all agreed to follow when registering for our free Cruise Critic memberships:
Browse Before You Post
Browse a topic first to see if your question has already been asked or answered by someone else. Also, many of the major cruise lines forums have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Question) topic that has been created by our members. Give that a try first. Browsing is your #1 best resource! Please post your messages in an appropriate topic so that you'll receive the best possible response. It is very time consuming to move misplaced messages that are in the wrong topics.
Therefore, all threads about a possible problem with the software belongs here on the Need Help Using the Forums? Check Here! forum. I am tagging @CC Help Michell so they will be aware of this thread. You can also contact help@cruisecritic.com from your Cruise Critic email address of record to find out if it is a Cruise Critic software glitch. Be sure to mention your Cruise Critic user name. This is so your membership can be verified, and reply will be sent to your Cruise Critic email address of record. If your current Cruise Critic email address of record is not correct and needs to be updated before you send your email, please click the following: How To: Update your Cruise Critic Email Address.
Happy sails to all,
Host Kat
Thanks, Kat.
Unfortunately some of us feel that this issue is being hidden on this board. It is relevant to NCL and appears to be an Australian specific problem so I feel it belongs on those boards. I understand the desire to consolidate the discussion in one place but it’s giving the impression that CC just wants to push the complainants and frustrations off to the side. This may not be the intention but this is the impression it’s giving.
Moderating a forum is a thankless task and I realise that you’re probably powerless to resolve this issue but could you PLEASE pass it up the food chain and let those who make these decisions know that the natives are restless.
The constant barrage isn’t recalling doing NCL or CC any favours.

Yeah, I tried rotating the screen but it didn’t help. I don’t have a VPN and I don’t want to get one just to use CC.
The moderators are obviously aware of the issue as they’ve now moved my thread off the Australian board even though it’s obviously an Australian problem. 😡

This annoying ad pops up each time you open a new page. Easy enough to click on the exit "cross", but still annoying. Not surprised it's from NCL, one of my least preferred lines. Likely to get them new customers? Yeah, I don't think so.
I can’t access the X. It’s off the screen. 😖

You are not alone!
Norwegian are shouting from the rooftops promoting their new ship and have obviously given this website a “Bunga” to takeover our screens.
Well, I’m not happy. I’m disinclined to cruise with them as they’re negatively impacting my CC experience.
I think I'll write to them- 6

…Is anybody else getting a norwegian popup covering 1/3 of the screen?
Yes! And it’s driving me barmy!
I managed to start a separate thread about it. Hopefully someone can help. 🙏🏽

I'm having this problem too.
This morning an advertisement for NCL keeps popping up, obscuring half of the screen. Occasionally I can close the ad by tapping on the X in the top left corner but mostly this part of the ad if off the screen see (hopefully) attached screenshot.
Can anyone help?I'm so frustrated and almost ready to give up on CC!

As I get older I sometimes (not always) struggle with technology. I usually browse CC on my iPad with no issues.

We are doing 3 nights on the Pacific Encounter in early July and then 10 nights to PNG in August.
Brisbane is convenient for us to sail from at the moment as we can drive there on embarkation day.- 2

I had a Citibank debit card with no fees including no foreign transaction fees however earlier this year it was converted to an NAB card. I need to check the T&Cs but if it now has fees attached I think I'll cancel it and get an Up Card.

Apologies for the enormous writing, above. I wrote it on notes and copy/pasted. I generally use BIG text these days 😂
I appreciate the larger font, particularly at this time of night!
I look forward to reading about the rest of your trim, regardless of what size font you use.
