Can it be used when booking with an NCL representative, i.e. Casinos at Sea?

Mitsugirly had a JOYful cruise
Always Cruising replied to mitsugirly's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Me, four! -
I probably know the answer, but I paid $1,000 deposit with AmEx Platinum. Does the entire cruise have to be paid with that credit card to get the Le Bistro dinner offer?

Perks for suite passengers on the Star
Always Cruising replied to Dgoddess61's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
No Haven area on the Star - other than that, I agree with goldmom. -

Tell Me About NCL "Casinos At Sea"?
Always Cruising replied to need2cruisesoon's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I also received nothing from the casino in my cabin, other than the 3 items that Ruby level guests can order (bottles of wine, shrimp cocktail, chocolate covered strawberries). And I played (&lost) a lot. -
Tell Me About NCL "Casinos At Sea"?
Always Cruising replied to need2cruisesoon's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I asked about the birthday gift on my December Prima cruise (my birthday month) and was told by casino manager that it wasn't done anymore -
I've found that the casino host will give approximately 7% of your loss as non-refundable OBC. It used to be 10% (pre-Covid). It was applied to my CruiseNext purchase on my last cruise (I hadn't realized it, and bought RayBans, but had some left that was applied to my bill.)

Legionnaire's Disease on Prima
Always Cruising replied to schmoopie17's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I was on the Dec 16 sailing, and received no notification. I agree that the people sailing from Nov 19 would be more at risk than later passengers. -

Wondering if anyone knows who is the concierge on the Star? I'm on board starting Feb 26. TIA! -
Sapphire benefit Dinner with the officers
Always Cruising replied to Patsfans's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I'd love to see the list of officers (& concierge), as well. TIA! -
Maybe he will be back by then - such a great personality!

and Rommel had been at Vibe in December, but I think he's at another bar now, according to a previous post.

just googled $2 bill superstitions, and mostly in US, there is an association with gambling and prostitutes (both paid in $2 bills from 1900's). Also two - deuce is a name for the devil - like "what the deuce" rather than "what the devil" I tried to forward the short article to this page, but computer skills aren't my forte 😉

I had 50 brand new $2 bills about 10 years ago on a cruise on NCL. I thought the crew would be delighted with them as a tip for a drink. Most looked at them a bit suspiciously - they weren't very common. And being new, some staff members thought they were fake. I assured them they could be used like $1 bills, but I never made my bank get them for me again.

After asking a few different people, we were finally led to Haven check-in at the port. Lines at Port Canaveral Dec 16 were crazy long, so we didn't get to check-in 'til just before noon. After checking in, we were led on board, and told to go to Cagney's. No crew member led us there (no big deal, but different from Haven). We met Lainie (the suite concierge) who was often at a desk in Cagney's during breakfast and lunch. She was very helpful with reservations for shows and getting us off ship early. Not the attention of a Haven concierge, but we paid thousands less than those guests. We ate 3 breakfasts and 2 lunches at Cagney's. Menu very close to the old Haven menus. Good service and food, but not great. Our butler, Benny from Goa was a delight. Our forward facing suite felt much smaller than expected for us 3 "girls." But it worked out. When the sofa bed was opened (very comfortable for sleeping!), I had to do acrobatics to make coffee, cuz the end of the bed touched the counter and fridge. And we couldn't figure out how to close it - our steward had to do that. But we had a fun time, and the ship is beautiful, but different. Happy Sailing!

Just off the Dec 16 Prima, and really enjoyed the Vibe! Above bartenders (and Ann Marie) were all wonderful, and I enjoyed meeting other guests. So glad I bought the pass. -
