Sorry, I can't answer #1. #2: Minimally, you can book restaurants at 120 days prior to your embarkation date. Or, you can book everything once onboard. Some restaurants and shows will fill-up popular times on Embarkation Day. It's best to decide early which things are most important to you and get them booked! GSC: We've never been in a Villa at GSC, (nor a GSC Cabana of any sort). However, if we were going to spend the day with three couples, we probably would book one of the villas for the day! Pools/Shade: The pools are small and the area is very congested. I look for loungers on higher decks where there is less traffic. You might be able to find quiet and shaded seating on deck 8 on the Waterfront. Restaurants: It probably would be best to spend some time looking through NCL to find YOUR tastes. If you use the link below, you will find sample menus for many of the restaurants. https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/escape/whats-on-board/specialty-dining Have a great cruise!

I don't believe "Prohibition The Musical" is available any longer on the Bliss! There is no place referred to as "The Speak Easy" (Except when Prohibition WAS on Bliss). However, you probably would need to make reservations onboard for other shows in the Bliss Theater, &/or, at Social Comedy and Night Club. You can get more information by logging into you account, selecting your cruise, and look for EXPLORE and PLAN. Then scroll down and search on the left-hand side for Onboard Entertainment, Activities & Casino.

I'm sorry that your experience is definitely not providing great selections of flights. I hope the cruise is wonderful!

Oddly, we found some of these at DSW Shoes. We LOVE them! Many different types can be found on Amazon, also.

There are sample menus for most of the restaurants listed (within the link above).

Ah, Baseball, the official sport of the Bible! 🤪 (John 1:1 In the "Big-Inning...")

From our personal experiences (more than 20 NCL cruises), we would not select deck 9, nor deck 14 forward because of potential noise issues from the decks above or below. (Or, I'd just be sure to wear earplugs, because I am a light sleeper and easily awakened by noise.) Starboard is our choice (If no Aft are available) since, generally, we get the views we desire most often on the Starboard side. If you want shortest distance to decks 6/7/8 activities and/or meals and bars Deck 9 or 10 are great. If you feel that you would spend more time going to the pool deck, observation lounge, slides, SPA, or Garden Cafe, and Race Track, H2O, then select higher deck. Good luck with your choice.

Note: Club Balcony Suites do NOT get the same perks as other SUITES/HHAVEN rooms. Currently being offered in a CBS: there "should be" a couple of days when some treats are delivered to the room, a bag of laundry done for FREE should be available, and you have the opportunity to book restaurants for your sailing at 125 days prior (rather than the standard 120 days).

You can arrange to arrive a day or so early. However, NCL does not offer the shuttle services the way you are asking about. If you want to take the NCL shuttle (BUS), you'd need to go back to the airport the morning of embarkation. Probably easier to UBER/Taxi instead. They do give you a deviation discount for not using the shuttle if you arrive early and stay overnight pre-cruise.

OOPS... Thank you for correcting me! I was thinking about our Latitudes perk.

Club Balcony Suites do NOT get the same perks as other SUITES/Haven rooms. Currently being offered in a CBS: there "should be" a couple of days when some treats are delivered to the room, a bag of laundry done for FREE should be available, and you have the opportunity to "Check-In" for your sailing at 125 days prior (rather than the standard 120 days).

Just to verify, the person whose name is first on the reservation gets the credit (without the FAS upgrade). We had purchased our discounts prior to FAS bundle being announced. Therefore, we received our refund 8 days after retroactively adding the FAS bundle. Also note, anyone with a Platinum (or above) discount would get back less than $50 per excursion retroactively, because their Latitudes discount would have been applied at the time of purchase. I had 4 excursions booked, and received $170 refund (due to 15% Latitudes discount).

Short of being in the few largest suites ( $$$ such as Owner's Suite), water has not been a part of the drink package without purchasing the Premium Plus Beverage Package. Even if you have the PPBP, it probably would be best to ask the room steward/butler to restock those if it's important to you. With the PPBP, we have often stopped at a bar in order to get some to carry to our room.

This should help (be sure to read the notes at the bottom for more information per category)! It works well if you know, and follow, the rules. https://www.ncl.com/latitudes-rewards-program#tier_benefits

Therefore, you might want to check-out this ROLL CALL...

NCL has a $29.00 fill-the-bag (around mid-week) laundry "special". Otherwise, the list price per piece is rather crazy. And there is NO self-laundry available.

The frustrating part of cruising is how easily things can change without prior notice. However, if you did not take any NCL sponsored Shore Excursions, they would only owe you any funds for excursions that you had pre-purchase, but had ended-up being cancelled. Just like Non-Refundable OBC would not entitle you to any refunds!

They are both correct in what they stated. You just need to use your perks in the best way possible. The main thing is that, recently, the "Platinum certificates" rules changed. Therefore there are fewer restrictions! They can help you at the Host/Hostess desk(s) if you are still uncertain about the order you need to use your perks! If you were not billed anything when you booked your restaurants, you should not have a problem, unless you order outside of the "one Starter, one Main, and a dessert" rules that some wait staff use. (Even then, there have been people who have stated that they were not charged any extra.)

NCL policy is to charge you more IF the price of the rooms have changed since you booked and IF, your booking type has changed. By "booking type" I mean that NCL has been running very similar "sales", but with variations in their coding. It MIGHT be possible to get the change made sometime in the future, without any additional costs, but I wouldn't bet on it.

This should not present a problem to you onboard, since you can use either FAS or Latitudes in almost every restaurant now (since the rules changed recently)!

Yes, REFUNDABLE OBC can be cashed-out. Be sure to get that done before end-of-day on last day at sea ... NOT end of cruise!

Perhaps availability of excursions are limited on your cruise due to timing. If you are close to cruise date, things could be sold-out. If your cruise is more than 6 months in the future, excursions might not be added yet. I am able to see excursions from Harvest Caye available for a January 2023 cruise. However, I did NOT find any listing for a ferry. They possibly have already sold-out, or, are not offered online. I can't honesty say, since we have never tried to leave HC for any excursions.
