Ditto! Warning - it is oily/sticky and kinda messy and useless if you ask me.

Or, the room stewards are happy to tape the extension cord down for safety.

We were on the Jan 27 departure. We lost Tauranga port and Milford Sound due to wind and weather. We received no compensation. Hopefully you will experience better weather but maybe prepare for a bit of ship motion just in case. I know a lot of people on our departure were unwell at times. All of our in-port activities were non-NCL and we had a great time!

NCL Spirit is now out of all diet beverages until Sydney when most disembark in 2 days time. Much grumbling among guests.

The title of this post was meant to provide amusement, people. The provisioning problems are real on many NCL ships. On a trip that I can only afford once, not seeing the New Zealand coastline beauty has been a real disappointment. That and spending days pitching and rolling at sea 🤢 have made this trip my least favorite.

The weather has been extremely unexpected and unusual.

We’ve had some weather issues with our Auckland to Sydney itinerary which led to missed provisioning. The ship is running out of Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Sprite Zero and may not get more until Sydney in 3 days time. 😮 The ship also seems to be out of mushrooms, bananas, yogurt and endive. 😕 Thankfully have not run out of Veuve Clicot yet. Our calls to Tauranga and Milford Sound were canceled. I know they can’t fix the weather but there are things that could be done to appease disappointment. Sadly, I think the bottom line prevents them from doing anything. A couple of the live music acts are truly awful. We trip the into Sapphire status with this trip and for the first time ever will not be purchasing a Cruise Next.

4 days 'til we board Spirit in Auckland! 🙂

Thanks so much for this. We board Spirit next week in Auckland.

Thank you for this post! This exact thing happened to us, too.😒 They didn't give us the requested deviations on either end of the cruise. We're on the same flight arriving at 6 am day of cruise.

We had this happen in a MDR on Epic last year. By the second glass they just left the bottle.

We really enjoyed the Buenos Aires to Santiago itinerary.

I am on Spirit Jan 27 and we have 23 shore excursions for 8 ports with zero excursions for at least 2 ports. I'm booking and planning stuff on my own.

FAS+ wasn't in play yet at that time. We upgraded the regular beverage package to Premium Plus.

We upgraded the first day on board Epic last December. The only hassle was having to wait in line to get our cards reprinted to show the upgrade.
