In our experience (15+ CAS cruises), the CAS desk is at one end, often next to the special needs  (wheelchair/ accessible) counter. 

The check-in associate has no special access to casino hosts/programming, (s)he is simply assigned to that desk for embarkation.  If there are no CAS guests in line, that agent will assist the special needs line and/or the regular queue.

I assume that is just for check in then, there is no priority boarding/how would they know you're a CAS guest unless they gave you something at check in?

Yes.  Ask the desk when checking in.  There will be people standing in a huge line waiting to get access to board, even though it's not their turn,  Go to the front of the line, show them your priority boarding, and away you go.  Should be boarding right after Haven and top tier NCL members.  Why people stand in line to get on the ship when they aren't called is beyond me.

Thank you! I'm assuming you get something when checking in then that says you have booked with CAS in order to show them?

I booked a cruise out of Miami through CAS. How do they know if you have a CAS reservation when they call for it, hopefully they check somehow?

Anyone have experience with using the priority CAS boarding? 

No battle of the sexes the last night, unless I missed it another day?!

Weird, I always enjoyed that "game show"! 

Thanks everyone! 

Hi,

We're currently in a spa balcony but are thinking about bidding for the spa club balcony.  

Anyone thing it's worth $100/per person for this? What extras do you get and how much nicer is the room? 

We usually stay in ocean views or insides! 

One of the best excursions we've ever taken were with Ebanks water sports in Grand Cayman. Jet skis may not be some people's thing, but you take a jet ski tour to the stingrays (small group of about 6), we've done it 3 times, never gets old.

Has anyone stayed in one of the OV rooms on the very front of the BA? Curious what that is like.

We were in one on the Getaway on deck 12 I think and are in one on the escape in a few days. The window is a pretty good size, but it's slanted and there is a sitting area in front of it. Other than that, it's a normal Oceanview room with a picture window.

I know people LOOOOVE Cagney's, but if there's one thing we're spoiled by here in Omaha, it's good steakhouses. If you're ever in Omaha, head to The Drover and thank me later. This porterhouse was good, but couldn't crack the Top 10 of steaks I've had. Stacy was very complimentary of her filet though.

Enjoying your review!

I really enjoy Cagney's, but after living in Omaha for a while and going to The Drover quite a few times, I can vouch for their steaks as being probably the best steak I've ever had!

I believe I am already on there. You just have to make a post in the roll call thread right?

Yes! If you or anyone is interested in the M&G/slot pull just post in there and we'll get you guys added to the list.

If you haven't already and are interested, join the roll call for Aug 5th.

We're getting a M&G and slot pull together!

I've been trying to decide between the two. I've never done either. Which would you recommend the most?

Wave Runners! When we did them last year, they had a guide in the front and in the back and the guide in the front went fast and the one in the back stayed behind the slowest person. We were able to go full throttle and stay just behind the guide in the front, it was a blast on the calm waters between a couple of the islands. They also stop you at a sand bar where you can jump off and pickup a couple of star fish to hold and take pictures, just an added bonus!

We are considering an NCL cruise over New Year's.

 

Does the MDR or specialty restaurants have special menus for NYE and/or New Year's day?

 

I presume regular menus the rest of the time.

 

Thanks,

Brad

We sailed NYE 2013/NYD 2014 on the Pearl and there didnt seem to be anything special in the dining rooms. They did have a champaign toast and party with NYE hats, noise makers and a count down out on the pool deck.

I contacted my TA and it wasn't added so I'm glad I checked.. She told me that the latitudes promo couldn't be combined with the UDP though, does any know if that's accurate?

Log in to your NCL account

Click Vacation summary

Scroll down and under itinerary and planned activites you should see amenity details and it listed there.

I don't see it listed anywhere on my itinerary or the vacation summary page, does it only show up after the final payment is made?

Earlier this year, they were showing all the march madness games on the Pearl, mostly in all the bars.

Can you recommend things to do in each port?

If you're up for it, Sting Ray City via wave runners was a lot of fun with Ebanks watersports, look them up, its a lot of fun! We liked it so much the first time, we're doing it again in a couple weeks.

Peat Taylor Tours in Ocho Rios, they can create a tour for basically anything in Jamaica.

By the way, when are you sailing? If you haven't joined a roll call yet on here, you should!

Welcome back! We leave in about 2 weeks on the Pearl. Who was the cruise director? What were your favorite things about the Pearl and the ports?

Ann, if you wouldn't mind, could you please send it to me as well?

Were you able to stop at GSC? I heard a week or two before they had to skip it due to the waves/winds.

Why wouldn't you upgrade? Are you just worried about not being mid ship or something?

Depending how much prices have dropped you could wait and maybe upgrade for very little up to a balcony.

If I FOURTH the request can we get a reply. Pretty please. We leave on Friday for our cruise on the 24th of Nov.

If nobody replies back with this information, will you please when you return? We sail on Dec 29th! :D

You're really getting off topic..

The point being is I highly doubt anyone would be foolish enough to buy a $250 cruise cert from someone who they've never met for $250, knowing that he had only spent $150 for it (except maybe you of course). Especially when #1, these future cruise certificates have sold on CC and ebay for $100-$150 in the past and #2 the seller made an error and mistakenly bought more than he could use and I'm sure would be happy to sell them for around what they cost him (in which case everyone wins).

You say that they don't lose their $250 value, that is false.

Are you are the OP trying to get $250 for your cruise certificates that only cost you $150?

What Harriet is saying is that there is no advantage to someone buying them for $250, that is the reason for asking what the price is.

If people were willing to buy these for $250, then I'll pickup a dozen on my next cruise and make $100 off each one. :rolleyes:

It looks to me like its still there in GSC? Is there a site where you show her somewhere else?

We're on this itinerary in about 6 weeks, so I was wondering if it'll stop there too.
