But the only way they would get your information is by you making a sale through Amazon to them. And if they are currently selling on Amazon then they should immediately be removed. I guess I don't see how this wouldn't be eligible for a credit card dispute and/or pursuing Amazon for a refund. If they don't have any receipts or proof that you purchased the item, then the credit card should take it. If they show a receipt showing you purchased the item through Amazon, then Amazon can verify that it's not true. Just showing the credit card company a picture of a package on a porch is meaningless. That package could be anything left at anytime by anyone.

We had a major claim at our house a few years ago. The house was built in the 70s and had sunroom on the back. There was a windstorm which severely damaged the sunroom. So, we went to get quotes for a new one. Here's the rub. That room was up to code in the 70s when the house was built. It wasn't up today's code. To replace the sunroom today we had to dig large footers and a new foundation which tripled the price. Our insurance company would pay the cost to replace "the sunroom" but no the cost of the footers and foundation to bring it up to code. So this scam is from illegitimate sellers on Amazon. I would expect Amazon to make this right. They have the records of what you ordered and when. I don't see how a seller could fake an order and make it look like it went through Amazon's website.

So the scammers are illegitimate sellers on Amazon? I would expect Amazon to handle this. They have records of what you purchased and when.

because the wind snatches it out of ur hand and you don’t have a reason to try and stop it. I’ve definitely slammed quite a few balcony doors by accident. If you tell the person it’s bother u I’m sure they can try harder to stop it.

While you can’t predict weather ahead of time; I think it’s fair to say that open waters are usually rougher that hopping between islands. I would expect waters to be on the rough side and plan ahead for that if you need seasickness medicine. I get horribly sea sick and am generally fine in the Caribbean. But if we go far enough out to have 2 sea days in a row I’ve always felt the difference.

Those two itineraries are so different. We love europe. If you haven’t been before do a one way cruise and add extra days before and after the cruise. Italy is not seen best by cruise but it’s a wonderful place to spend a few days. The geek islands are fabulous by cruise.

If that doesn't include all inclusive, it's way too much. If you shop around you can get two oceanview rooms for this cruise for $5,000.

yeah, It probably isn't just being "inconsiderate." The combination of the heavy door and wind can make it slam shut easily. If the person is unaware of how loud it is they may not be making any attempt to stop that from happening.

I believe so. I've always understood it that you can get a paid upgrade post final payment. But you have to pay something additional. Not get it for free.

Have I seen examples of cruise lines changing their entire itinerary for a storm. Yes, that happens all the time in the Caribbean. A west caribbean could switch to an east caribbean. A Bermuda cruise could turn into a Bahams cruise. Cruises sometimes even change the embarkation port. These things happen across all lines; they can't control the weather. I even saw a recent post on NCL where a panama canal cruise was turned into a southern caribbean cruise. Not for weather, just related to backups in the canal due to low water.

It sounds as though they left abruptly. They may have not had time to settle their medical bill. I think we can all agree that whatever the charge was for, it wasn't documented correctly in the first place.

Did you father get any treatment in the medical center on the ship? If so, is it possible the $1,800 is actually the bill for the medical treatment, not the PVSA fine?

This couldn't be further from the truth. Medical travel insurance is much less expensive than comprehensive travel insurance and covers much more. Driving in many countries is much more dangerous than driving in the US due to different traffic laws/lack of enforcement. Driving a scooter compounds the issue by making the injuries of an accident much worse. Yes, I think that renting a scooter and driving it around in most of the world is reckless and asking for an accident to occur.

I've seen many people posting about leaving their child on the ship while they go to port. Planning to leave your kids on the ship while you go somewhere 3 hours away in a foreign country isn't ok. You might drop you kids off at a day care while you go to work. I would hope you wouldn't drop them off at daycare and then take a day trip to another state where you couldn't get back in a reasonable amount of time. I've had co-workers who dropped their kids off at their normal daycare. And it wasn't out of the ordinary for them to have to go and pick their kid up halfway through the day over an illness or behavioral issue.

The loud voices and bragging about how drunk they are doesn't seem like much of an issue. Again, lots of people get drunk on vacation. 5 shots may be a lot to them but, I guarantee you plenty of other people have had more. Staff that work with people drinking know how to brush off someone who is going too far. If they didn't do that, I assume they were ok with it. They were just looking for a bigger tip.

OP didn't say that anyone was "grabbing" anyone. Just "touchy". Yeah, drunks get touchy sometimes. When you are working professional, as long as it doesn't cross the line into sexual touching; you shrug it off. I was working an event last night with an open bar and an older lady who was clearly intoxicated came up and touched my arm while she talked to me. Didn't even occur to me to ask them to cut her off. Drunks are a problem are when they are aggressive or belligerent.

You have an invoice in writing that says you get the classic beverage package and they are trying to get out of it. Don't pay up front and count on a written guarantee to reimburse you. If they aren't making it right now, why would they make it right after the cruise. I would continue to escalate with the TA. Since you have proof in writing, you can also make a complaint with the better business bureau. I've found that to be really helpful in the past when companies don't follow through.

It's not as though there is a risk of the passengers getting in a car and driving at that point (one of the main concerns of bartenders on land). People often get drunk on vacation. If they aren't being disruptive are capable of walking back to their room, I wouldn't expect the bartenders to cut them off.

The OP was a contractual argument so that is really what the conversation should be. The simple fact is that nowhere does NCL contractually guarantee that you won't have to take covid tests or show vaccination proof. So if that becomes a requirement, NCL isn't violating their terms and conditions. It's possible to be responsible in terms of public health and also prefer to not take a trip if a covid test is required. That just increases the chance of a last minute cancellation or getting stuck somewhere.

I would expect that if they are "moving to Japan" they know the residency laws and aren't trying to get in on a tourist visa.

I think it would be really difficult to justify the entire cost of cheers for one person. Keep in mind that there is a daily limit on drinks so its not as if you could continue drinking forever. We usually bring on the two bottles of wine allowed and you can usually drink inexpensively in port. I guess if you want to get black out drunk every night you can; but the chances of you drinking up to $1,000 is slim.

Americans are used to tipping and also used to added fees/costs to advertised prices. At the minimum, tax is added to merchandise or services; tickets and many online purchases carry service fees; hotels add on taxes/fees/resort fees. American's don't demand an all inclusive price so lines that are primarily booked by Americans play the same game everyone else does of showing the lowest advertised price possible.

Ok. You are right. But it says that NCL isn't responsible for government requirement changes. "Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures are subject to guidance and directives of established health authorities in the U.S. and other destinations where the Vessel visits, including the CDC and other international, national and local health agencies when the Vessel is within those agencies’ jurisdiction. Guest acknowledges that these directives may change from time to time and that Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures may therefore change." "Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in Carrier’s refund policy, any noncompliance by Guest or members of Guest’s travelling party with Carrier’s COVID-19 Policies and Procedures, local port/country regulations, or this Contract shall be grounds for refusal to board, refusal to re-board after going ashore, quarantine onboard the Vessel, disembarkation, reporting to governmental or health authorities, or other steps deemed necessary in Carrier’s sole discretion under the circumstances to protect the health and wellbeing of others. Under these circumstances, Guest shall not be entitled to a refund or compensation of any kind."

We did that itinerary in late April. Hawaii was wonderful. The first 1-2 sea days were really nice. After that, it got pretty cold and windy outside.

Yes, but a crew member should notice and question someone sleeping in public areas all night. Just from the standpoint of crew not necessarily being able to pick him out of a crowd. If someone is doing something as unusual as sleeping in a lounge or deck chair all night (and BTW, they pick all the deck chairs up at night), that should arouse attention.
