Goodbye NCL and Possibly Cruising Altogether Rant One

Can you get cash onboard the ship
RocketMan275 replied to krazy4kruisin's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
even cheaper to bring the cash from home. -
Always tip with cash. Really isn't a big deal to travel with several hundred dollars. To be honest, never leave the house without cash. You can get change from guest services so it's not necessary to carry a large number of bills. Several $100's, enought to cover gratuities and other expenses.

Has NCL changed timing concerning pre cruise documentation?
RocketMan275 replied to erisajd's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I always use a TA and I get this documentation directly from NCL. -
The only way to get the crissonts is to book a haven room. The Haven does not provide room service to other cabins.

I've never understood why the site of someone in shorts ruins one's culinary experience. If it does, I would suggest not to crawl around on the floor looking under tables.

Just got screwed out of nearly $500 can.

There are some reports that some airlines are examining 'leaning seats' where one doesn't sit but only leans. -
HELP! First NCL Cruise Since Covid - Gratuity Question
RocketMan275 replied to rlpboy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Houston as well. -
Sounds like your leaving from NOLA. We've taken two cruises on NCL from NOLA. Our first cruise we arrived at the port approximately 0930. We spent the next hour in the line for security clearance. We boarded about 1115. Our second cruise, we arrived at the port approximately 1100. The security line was non-existant, we boarded about 1115. NOLA has a very small waiting area for those who've checkin in. Once the area is full, NOLA stops the security line. It doesn't matter whether your in Haven or not, there is only one security line. You cannot check in or visit the haven waiting area until after security. we found there was little of no advantage to an early arrival. We now wait in our comforable hotel room until we can time our arrival at the port after the line has cleared, around 1100.

HELP! First NCL Cruise Since Covid - Gratuity Question
RocketMan275 replied to rlpboy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It's like all other ports, it's up to you to get from the airport to the port. The cruise line will offer, at a cost, transportation from the airport to the port. However, this transportation is only available the day of departure. There are many business providing alternative transportation oftens much cheaper and more flexible. Many have found it attractive to rent a vehicle for transportation to and from the port/airport. This is especially attractive for arriving days prior to departure. We arrived the day early, rented a car in MCO, travelled to Port Canaveral, kept the car for overnight use, then left the car at the rental agency who provide free transportation to the port. -
HELP! First NCL Cruise Since Covid - Gratuity Question
RocketMan275 replied to rlpboy's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Perhaps, but it's not guaranteed. But giving it in cash directly does give the person the option. -
Understand. Although I might make an issue in post cruise survey.
-
At that point, I would have asked the concierge to intervene.
-
why not ask your butler to fetch your special requests to be delivered in the Haven restaurants?

Is there an email address for Joy's Concierge
RocketMan275 replied to dinkydee718's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It's not outdated if it produced superior results. -
Before I engage with my TA, I do a mock booking. I've learned to use a different cabin number (same category) than the one I actually want. I mock booking generates a 24 hour hold on the cabin you select. Therefore, I use a cabin close to the one I want. Then I contact my TA with the cabin number I actually want.

Sharing tips is common practice in the service industry. -
Pretty much the same menu we had on Prima in February. My only complaint is the lack of biscuits and gravy.

The double tree is also very close to a publix.
