  1. Anything with 2 prongs will be OK I bring these less than 10 bucks and use a multiple USB adapter at the end. Most stuff nowadays is not 3 prong unless you have a CPAP or something like that.
  2. The answers seem to be no I keep a couple of these and multiple USB adapters along with some 220V USB adapters like these I bring them along no matter the ship I run one extension to one side of the bed then the other over to the other side so we can charge all of our electronics. not very expensive and something we just keep in our bags, comes in handy for hotels and other places too.
  3. Yes we are the same I have a Samsung S23 and Wife has an iPhone so one of each goes into each bag, we can find out our bags made the plain and where they are most of the time it seems.
  4. The airtags i had in my bags helped us find our backs on the other side of the ship and about 14 rooms down from ours. I put them in the suitcase not the outside and also used a tile tracker. Usually the airtag as better for longer distances but the time did tell us the bag was on the plane and was a little better at finding the bags in the hallway. To me you are really missing out not putting a tracker in your bags for the cost it is well worth it.
  5. Are you counting per person I see a taxi is about 125.00 that would be for 2 people. The transfer is not bad but can be slow if you are first on.
  6. I would look at the airfare cost but prefer one way with a few extra days at start ende or both.
  7. Always it will depend on many factors, streaming to me means a streaming service like Netflix or Youtube. You might want to see if you can download the videos/audio ahead of time. There are extensions and plug is for Chrome and FireFox that allow all sorts of downloads. https://www.wired.com/story/10-browser-add-ons-extensions-download-videos-photos/ If it does not work for you then you might want to upgrade aboard the ship. This does not mean that site will work, if it is a free site you might want to reach out to someone that is on your ship now and have them try it. You could find them by the roll calls and see if anyone is posting or just port to the roll call. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/20-roll-calls/ I know if I was on a cruise I would be more than happy to answer ship specific questions and be able to provide a current answer.
  8. Just have someone that is back home do the check in 🙂 Much like checking in for a Southwest flight!
  9. I looked at the NCL site and they show this: Large Batteries, Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons (EPIRB), ham radios, satellite phones, transformers, lasers and laser pointers are not allowed onboard. https://www.ncl.com/faq#!#what-not-bring-onboard But if you look at the full list it does not have transformers, which is good since virtually every charger is a transformer unless they mean these?
  10. One thing to note it does depend on the airline and what they paid but in my experience I could upgrade my seats for money but not points. The whole NCL is always YMMV, I have had good flights and so so flights.
  11. Try doing an Eastbound TA you keep losing an hour and your body clock is all messes up. Going West is much easier.
  12. I have taken 5 TAs and we have found that 5 days at sea is usually enough for us so I would suggest picking a different cruise. Also for a TA you want to take the cruise home so the flight back is easy!
  13. The insurance will pay you but NCL should still have their money.
  14. Does she have insurance it could be moot of course if no refund, could cancel and get some fees back, Swapping rooms is pretty common.
  15. Yes, will be faster than old NCL but judging by what I have read I am no sure if it will be faster than RCCL. But it should make the internet usable for most everything, latency should be better too but I am not sure how the system handles changing satellites.
  16. We have sailed quite a few times in the fall and always had good weather heading westward. Leaving from Rome, Barcelona and Lisbon. Look for a route that hits the Canary Islands vs the Azores.

  18. I have found that it is better and a better rate to get money at the airport from an ATM my wife has a debit card we use before that I would overpay a credit card and use that to get money without paying interest. You need to be creative at the ATM to avoid large bills ask for 100 euros and you will get a single 100 euro bill ask for 80 you could get all 20s or a 50 20 and 10. We have stayed for as long as 5 days after a cruise and never come anywhere near 500 euros spent but we do use credit cards wherever we can, make sure you have at least 2 cards that have no transaction fees.
  19. Plus the way it works for me: have a tracker no issues, no tracker bags misplaced. I had trackers on my last cruise, bags delivered to our door. The one before bags were on the other side of the ship and about 10 cabins down, no idea how they were placed there.
  20. Make sure you have a tracker in your luggage to make sure it goes where it should!
  21. But if you live in the US it is a short flight home, end in ROME you have a long flight back even if you stay for a few days. Also don't do a TA either to or from the East Coast in the fall.
  22. Just go ahead and get a lounge pass or a credit card that offers lounge access and relax, not really enough time to do much with a 1-2 time to get to the airport and get to your gate.
  23. I am ASSUMING since they booked you into the hotel and a few other people they will arrange a van or bus depending on how many people book the hotel, you may stop at another hotel too if the cruise line offers more than one hotel option. What different answers are you getting from customer service, worst case you would go back to the airport to meet the other passengers.
