The ocean is my favorite part!! Haven't tried RCCL's Mega-ships yet. Maybe I shouldn't, lol!!!We are on Oasis of the seas right now and I miss being able to see the ocean. Beautiful ship but can't wait for the Bliss.Sent from my SM-N950U using Forums mobile app

Sorry, off topic![emoji54]Didn't realize which thread I was on. I'm on a couple different ones and my cell doesn't show top of thread unless I really look!Besides that if they are advertising as grown and sexy and you've got kids, I wouldn't be happy. How do you explain what grown and sexy is to a 9 year old???Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

Besides that if they are advertising as grown and sexy and you've got kids, I wouldn't be happy. How do you explain what grown and sexy is to a 9 year old???I asked NCL agents on 3-4 occasions about what group was on this cruise. They did not seem to know. When I had found out the main group. Some NCL agents even got on their cell phone to check. I sent a letter to Miami to fuss about it 2 months ago. Still no reply.If you like partying. This must be great. "The biggest party at sea".

Yes, I get those rooms on purpose. Never had a problem. I do bring a small fan to cut down on noise, but I always use one at home anyway.We've been right by the stairs/elevator and have never had a noise problem. Now we often book rooms near these because then there isn't so much looooong narrow corridor walking.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

No just what you had for your original cabin, but you get butler service, etc.If you win any of the Haven bids, do you actually get all the perks that are included if you originally booked the cabin? I heard that you can not get the perks so I was just wondering.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

You have to provide credit card info. They only charge it if you get upgraded.Question about the Bid process....Do you need to supply credit card info with the bid or do they use the already provided credit card information?Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

Thank you for checking. I really appreciate it. Last time I called they told me about the group, so since the guy couldn't find anything maybe it will be clear sailing!!! Thanks again!!![emoji4]I checked this spreadsheet and there are no charters posted for any NCL ship Dec. 5-14, 2017. Again all that means is that no one has posted on here about an upcoming charter. Hopefully you won't have one. Enjoy your cruise.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

So happy to have found this site!!! Just got off an Aqua Fest cruise and some of the things I saw and heard made me want to stay in my cabin! My next cruise is Dec. 5-14, 2017. I called NCL and asked about large groups but the guy tried to get info and couldn't. I don't see it on here, but I can't get through to the sheet. It says I have to update something and that doesn't work. Anybody hear anything about this cruise? Again, thanks a lot. And please take into account I'm in my late 60's so this is just a hard adjustment.It was not the ethnicity of the folks who had partial charter at all. Many were very polite and I've seen just as many rude Americans.... it was the group charter mentality and just cultural differences. they were accustomed to cramming as many as possible inside an elevator. Their traffic patterns were just overwhelming and we just were not used to the pushing and shoving where as I think that was their norm. I think they were also concerned about sticking with their group and so pushing and shoving to stay with their groups became a critical part of their days. Food was like a grab fest and it was simply overwhelming to try and eat in the buffet, stand in a line for dinner with hundreds shoving past. In the end we got used to it. They were very early risers and early to bed. When they were out it was in mass but adjusting our schedules around theirs helped or perhaps we just got used to it. It wasn't an ideal situation and not one I would intentionally put myself into willingly and pay so dearly for but it could have been worse. They weren't drunk and obnoxious. Just oblivious to western culture. I think the Chinese market is growing exponentially and so I suspect we will all be on similar vacations in the near future. If on a ship with only so much room it is impossible to escape so it would be great if we all had a little notice and perhaps some pointers to make each other's vacations a little less invasive.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

Well, someone on our roll call mentioned it. I wanted to know how many because I was on a previous one. I called NCL and they said around 500 at the most.I did not get that from NCL. In fact both Miami and Mesa would not tell there was another large group on that sailing. The signed on number I got from the promoter."biggest party at sea" "Grown and Sexy"

I'm not sure what it is but 1000 of the 2500 cruisers will be on it. Next time I book, especially on NCL Pearl, I will definitely ask.what is that?!Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

I'll be waving at you!! Staying in N. O. to see the Saints game on Sunday. The January one you referred to has 1,000 from a special group, as in the same group I mentioned earlier??Say we are on the sailing as you get off ! Mid-ship balcony, but booked months ago. Didn't get the deal you did. Sometimes in this sailing game. It pays to wait.Actually, it was a last minute cruise. Had one in May booked but work got in the way so booked this one before work starts...lol...and I'm supposed to be retired! [emoji23] [emoji23] [emoji23]

When is your cruise? It doesn't start til after final payment.How do they decide who gets to bid for an upgrade? It's my first NCL cruise and I haven't received a chance to bid on an upgrade.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using Forums mobile app

I wasn't bidding for anything. They didn't have any balconies listed with cabin numbers when I booked a couple of days ago, so I had to get the guarantee. I had the perks with that one. Sorry if I wrote it wrong. When I got my paper from them it said I was upgraded to a mid ship balcony. I don't know why, but I'm not complaining.☺wha?free upgrade from GTY to like you booked a regular balcony with all the perks?! :o
1st i've heard of that since the bidding program went into effect

The cruise after ours was a cruise booked for a FULL CHARTER for a band, but I forgot the name they said. They also had an ADULTS ONLY cruise out of California before the ship got to N. O. I talked to some of the staff about it. OMG!!! I'm never doing that one either!!! BTW, the group on our cruise had 500 cruisers on board.Oh yes. These fares from NOLA were higher than years past. Also the Pearl had several FULL CHARTERS booked. Not to mention the "guest groups" specials. Then the 9 day sailings thrown in. Kind of made cruising from there, limited.An NCL manager told me the higher ups really messed up at NOLA this season. The mistakes would not be repeated during 2018-2019 season.
We shall see.

Texasreb, I was on that cruise. I had an aft and paid a lot for it. I currently have an aft on the Bliss next year for a lot less than this one was. Like $1,000 cheaper!! Go figure.

This isn't an upgrade exactly. Booked balcony on Pearl for Dec. 5-14. It was a guarantee, which I never had before but that was what was left. I was thinking bad location,etc. Well, they upgraded me to a midship balcony. Checked price on other sailing and it was a pretty good deal. I also had my 2 perks.
