I fondly remember our Sept cruise to Alaska back in 2010 because of the weather that looked like that. I loved it! I found it so soothing and cozy. I've been back to AK several times since and still think about sitting in the spa area on the Pearl, watching the rain and the whales.

I just double checked- Opus One Blend is $375 on the NCL menu. With 40% off, that's $225, with gratuity it's $270. Not bad for that bottle.

Yes- this was June on the Bliss. It was of course inflated, but with the 40% off it was back down to close to retail- maybe around $300? I can't remember exactly. And they do add the 20% gratuity. Still not a bad price if you're into those things.

There were some bottles (including ones additional ones available with premium plus) in the specialty restaurants and in the haven restaurant that aren't on here. It did vary. The other thing worth noting is that with the Premium Plus, you get 40% off ANY bottle, so that brought it down to the retail price in most cases. We did "splurge" and get pretty fancy bottles (like Opus One or M) on a few occasions because it was close to what we would have paid at wine store at home, and less than what we would have paid at a restaurant at home.

Yes- you can order 2 per person per dinner (we got some at lunch too!) so we ended up with a bit of a collection in the room. Some restaurants opened them, but others did not and just let us take them. Even if they were opened you could take them with you. For us, who primarily drink wine, this was one of the big advantages to the upgrade to Premium Plus.

wow! I hope everyone is safe!

#327 isn't available by the glass, but with Premium Plus you can get the bottle for free. I see what you're asking though- it's a little confusing since they write Premium Plus right where the glass price would be. Basically as said above, you can order anything you want: 1. any glass of wine is free with Premium Plus 2. any bottle marked as Premium Plus is also free with that program (the whole bottle) 3. any bottle NOT marked Premium Plus you can order, but you pay the bottle charge (minus 40% discount) and a gratuity charge. You can order more bottles than you'll drink at meals and take remaining bottles back to your cabin as well.

we did whale watching in icy straight and it was fantastic! But it does stink that your itinerary changed!

we were last there in January 2020 and the snorkeling at Maya Key was fantastic. We've been several times- just for the snorkeling. There is a long dock, with a ladder at the end, so you step down into the water right at the edge of the reef. It's very easy and was in excellent shape then... planning to go again in April. Love Maya Key!! Though we spend most of the time snorkeling, there are also the rescue animals, replica ruins, a nice pool, and the buffet lunch is excellent.

I'm interested in feedback from those who have done the parasailing at Harvest caye.... especially the safety of it. Did the equipment seem like it was in good shape? Were safety protocols a priority? that kind of thing. Also did you enjoy it! My 17 year old is really interested in going- I'm thinking of surprising her with it as a birthday gift.

Has anyone done the parasailing at Harvest Caye? I'm specifically curious about safety things- did the equipment seem like it was in good shape? Did you feel like the safety protocols were a priority?

Hi- I just got word that our Epic cruise (April 9 2023) has been cancelled due to charter. I booked with FCCs from long ago with an expiration date of May 31, 2023. Does anyone know how far these get extended in these situations? Or if they get extended at all? Been on hold with NCL for two hours....
