Hello Big Al, Are the prices showing up in your "MY NCL - - Explore & Plan"? Or, are you looking at the "generic" EXPLORE - - Shore Excursions? Lagoon 1-Bedroom Villa at Silver Cove on the generic site currently shows $899! Depending on the time frame ("Spring Break ?"), ship (newer vs older), itinerary of your cruise, and how many ships will be at GSC that day, that price might escalate tremendously! If any were showing in our itinerary for purchase right now, I'd go ahead and purchase one. Sadly, nothing for GSC is showing for purchase yet for our itinerary!

I wonder how much over-all pricing will change by the time we next visit GSC!

You might like the information available within link below (courtesy of bear3412 ...done May 2013) Note: scroll down on that page for more information than just the spreadsheet!!! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10YW7fMQarer30UCHKqKJ_zLDmbyMTczCTtYf2XRflh8/pub?single=true&gid=0&output=html

If your cruise was cancelled back on April 10th, you should have had FCC showing in your account about two weeks ago (by April 17)! FCC is automatically generated into each account. If you want a refund, you MUST REQUEST it! You probably should have called NCL (or your TA) directly, before now, to get information that is specific to YOU!

Good news! I'm glad that is now settled for you.

Cruise Critic has plenty of info available! Use the "Research" tab at the top of the page and follow through to where you wish to go. and/or... https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/456-caribbean/ will offer you port specific information. But you will have to search for what is important to YOU!

The Sky is fine for adults, especially on short cruises! But, as a grandmother of four (younger than your kids), I would say that the ship itself would not necessarily provide a lot of active entertainment for kids the ages of yours. If they are happy to play basketball, ping pong, trivia, and/or swim in the pool, read, play board/card games, then they would be fine!

What costs are included in the future cruise credit (FCC)? The following will be applied to the FCC: Cruise fare and taxes Including any winning Upgrade Advantage payments.

(Open links at top of page, IF you visit https://www.ncl.com/ ) Are any amounts on the affected bookings being refunded instead of being included in the FCC? Any ancillary items sold by Norwegian Cruise Line will be refunded to the cardholder who made the original purchase (refunded to the original form of payment) and will not be included in the FCC. Ancillary pre-purchased items include: Bon Voyage gifts and celebration packages Dining or beverage packages (those not part of the Free at Sea (FAS) promotion) Water and/or soda packages Purchased on board credits Internet packages Photo packages

Noise barriers! If on deck 9, deck 10 provides a barrier between noise from deck 11. If you were to get deck 8, you would be above the Stardust Lounge ... loud music nightly!

No, the fee(s) are $15/$30 per bottle, NOT per person! These have been the fees for more than seven years, or longer.
