Do you still get your Captains Club tier benefits on a BCC complementary cruise?

Hi

I just followed a link on RCCL that goes to a testing site that does antigen tests at the pier on boarding day..  At the bottom of the page they are booking PCR test at debarkation for $205.

Hope this does not mean no tests onboard?

Here is the link

Thanks

Oops should say waiting, not eating..

Does anyone know if the Royal App can be used at the cruise terminal in Miami. It would be nice to do some reservations for events while eating to board.

I have been booked on the Meraviglia Sept 18 cruise for months. I just received an e mail on itinerary change and when I checked my cruise, my cabin assignment went to a GTY from a confirmed cabin. Called MSC and had to select a new one. No reason was given. You may want to check your booking if you have a cabin you like.

Cruise Industry News just reported

Senior executives at Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings sold off shares in the company on March 1, 2021, according to SEC filings.

Of note, President and CEO Frank Del Rio sold 80,821 shares at an average price of $29.85 each for a total of $2,412,506.85.

Harry Sommer, president of the Norwegian brand, disposed of 18,854 company shares at $29.85 for a total of $562,791.90.

Robert Binder, president and CEO of Oceania, sold 21,278 shares at $29.85 each for $635,148.30.

Jason Montague, president and CEO of Regent Seven Seas Cruises, sold 18,854 shares at $29.85 each for $562,791.90

That is over $4.000,000.  For a company that is hurting financially , i think it shows a lack of confidence in the company when it keeps going further  into debt and refusing to give refunds.  Just my opinion

I have been looking at a 12 day Europe cruise in June 2022 since it was open to book.  Inside cat. F has been priced at C2609 .Canadian Dollars  Saw this sale was coming up and was ready to book at C2609 less 30% = C1827 . I check out the sale and it went from C2609 to C2342 .

It now shows a WAS price of C3346 less 30% = C2342. It never was at C3346.

I have 2 other cruises that also now show super inflated WAS prices.

How can they do this... they put in these terms and conditions

Original rate prices quoted are offering prices and may not have resulted in, and savings shown from original prices may not be based on, actual sales. From time to time, we may use original to mean the price offered during a previous seasonal time period, and therefore such prices may not have been in effect during the past 90 days. Quoted cruise prices are subject to promotions, discounts, and sales based on many factors including but not limited to seasonality, timing, range or mix of offers at a particular time, demand, availability, and capacity management.

This somehow means they can make up a price and run deceptive promotions.

New NCL Deal  a big NAY

@hbboers I was specifically commenting on your words "requirements that cannot be done".  What in there do you believe can't be done?

Let me reword what I should have said. "requirements  that will be hard and costly to be done "

I sear I saw this statement someplace earlier when I made my edited post.  I did not read it in that thread though

 

Did you read it?  Half of the document is "why are we doing this" and definitions.  The actual requirements are only about 20 pages.  So far, from what I've heard, it seems that the goal can be accomplished.

What I read is this article on Cruise Radio

https://cruiseradio.net/explained-the-cdcs-conditional-sailing-order-for-cruise-ships/

This is where I read about no cruises longer than 7 days.  It also says all the conditions are subject to change.

Also cruises that are longer than 7 days will not be allowed. The CDC is upset that they could not extend their NO

SAIL order and have put in place 40 pages of requirements that cannot be done.  Very sad.

We rebooked for our family of 4 (2 cabins) with our FCC and used it to cover our entire cruise fare, taxes, drink pkg gratuities, dining package gratuities, and regular gratuities. If you want to use your FCC for shore excursions you have to call to book them so they can apply the fcc to it.

Thank you very much

I finally have my FCC but would like to know if it only covers the cost of a new cruise (including taxes and fees)

Also, can the credit be used for prepaid gratuities, shore excursions, food and drink packages etc.

I checked the internet and it seems to vary by cruiseline. 

Thanks

Hi

We were booked on the NCL Sun for May 1.  Was cancelled March 30 and was told a FCC would be issued by Apr 3..

Still no FCC on my account.  Called 4 times in 2 weeks.  Just told to be patient. Meanwhile a cruise to South America i am looking at  has gone from 1575 cdn to 2815 cdn.

since my cruise was cancelled.  Even with the 125% FCC and 20% discount it is still way more.  21 Days+++to process a FCC seems ridiculous .

Very poor customer service.

 

Hi

I finally got my FFC and the amount was correct.  Now lets hope NCL stays in business

When you TRIPLE your cruise rates overnite  that to me is greedy. I agree that the cruiselines will take a hit...so are we. Check your investments..or don't. 

NCL is building 6 new Project Leonardo ships at $5.1 BILLION dollars.  I am not going to cry for them.  We all are affected by this.

I hope this situation improves for all of us.

Hi

I was looking at the NCL Sun cruise 20 Day Panama Canal departing May 1 . The price yesterday was $1070 CDN for an inside guarantee.  Just now the price is $2155 CDN for the same cruise.  

They are raising prices so fast, the website shows two different prices for the same Caribbean cruises.. files attached

So you cancel your cruise and get a FCC but the new cruise cost way more... and don't get me going on Service charge increases.. 20% tips on $3 soda that cost them pennies.. and fuel prices falling in half... 

thanks

Hi

Does anyone know what time the GGG sale starts?  ie 6am EST ?

Thanks

Bought 2 and we love them. Only issue is fogging up. Tried baby shampoo, spit,etc. I think the problem is the mask is made of plastic, not glass.

From waterfront station there are two trains..canada line and sky train.

Canada line runs to the airport and takes luggage, bikes,buggies and any other crap you have.

Sky train runs to the burbs and the trains have no dedicated luggage space.

Hope this helps

I am concerned with passengers refilling water bottles in the buffet. Some of the bottles are old and dirty, and ,for health reasons , NONE are to be refilled here. Despite the signs, they were being refilled all the time on our last Epic cruise. No one enforces this rule and it leads to health issues. Ncl should put in a bottle filling station like most airports have. With the new restrictions, water safety needs to be addressed.

Just booked a cruise and was offered the D.SC. for 19.77 per day cdn.

That works out to 1.46 to the US dollar.. Based on 13.50 US

Just last week the rate was 1.35 on the Cruise next deposit I purchased and the D.SC was also at this rate

This seems odd since the dollar has gone up .

We booked a 21 day cruise and do not qualify for any offers as it it more than 16 days. If I buy a 3 day $200 cruise I get the offer. I spend $2200 plus and get nothing. That makes no sense at all.
