We. Will be pm the Joy this Saturday. The only  show is Elements and the bar shows.

We ahead a sailing before the Covid shut down that had 3 reductions before final payment.Had I not kept looking at the NCL site, she would not have known to contact me about it. It actually became a joke as we had 3 couples booked for this trip. I didn’t think she was going to answer the phone when she saw our number come up. Yet others tell me their TA was on top of things like this.

We did a B2B that had stops in the 2  and 3rd choices. You will love 💕 which ever your chose. We went back and did the Holyland  cruise two years ago that had Rome and some of Greece stops. Just a beautiful part of the world to see.

I get the military appreciation 10% when i book for my husband and I .He is the veteran , yet it shows on my account on NCL. YOu need to sign up through ID.ME

Sometimes it take awhile for them to get it right.,Especially when it is more than 20 days out.

We aware wondering the same thing. There does not seem to be much information out yet.Casablanca reported feeling the tremors but not actual damage 

I strongly suggest you use a travel agent when dealing with MSC. The customer service is terrible . we be been on many cruises with MSC and dealing with that dept is terrible. Let an agent deal with the MSC craziness We always get a better with our agent as well. good Luck

You will need to make. Reservation for the specialty dining venues. it is difficult to just wing it as reservation fill up quickly.We actually try to book before we embark

Absolutely! We have done it in the past without a problem. We plan Lon doing it in Lisbon as well on our this upcoming cruise on the Star in November.

You make your reservation either before. Embarkment or do it when you first board the shop. They have staff at all venues 

Which restaurant did you eat in?

To clarify, are we talking about Latitudes tier levels (Platinum, Sapphire, etc.) or casino levels (Jade, Pearl, etc.)?  

I've never sailed MSC or Virgin but would be more inclined to try if my status level moved over.

We did it on an Ncl cruise. It is a nice walk . Lots of see

Well they have started to add more destinations to the offerings. we are going to Portugal and the Canary Island this fall. iThis is new.They are also making change if to other European and Mediterranean Cruise. I personally would like them to add more options for B2B for those itineraries.

You can upgrade from the sail away rate. It appears to be a discount. In reality it isn’t once they add the gratitudes etc.

Your RCL status can be matched on MSC. We were awarded their  highest status before we even book the cruises . Good gimmick to draw passengers in for other cruise lines

We used our OBC towards the purchase of CNC. On the Gateway in January.At first it appeared that they did not credit it but the next day they did use the OBC we already had.Seems to be no rhyme or reason to things on N L lately

This weekend will be difficult to get to and from the port so plan extra time to get there.Poor timing of Spring break and a Music festival.

I was on the Gateway in January and was able to get  a Car Bomb as we watch the  Giant game in O’Sheehan .

It was not available on the Getaway this past January

No one is truly "stuck". Plenty of other vendors who travel to the same locations. I understand what you mean. 

Stuck in the sense that Del Rio is the CEO

you cannot change that. we use different cruise  lines depending on itinerary and  cost.

We are Saphire on NCL and. Diamond. on MSC. I think we get more for buck on MSC

We refuse to use the NCL air program.We had an issue before  Covid with their air fare program. we corrected it but it was a hassle.we now always book our own

Kevin Sheehan brought NCL from what was the lowest regarded cruise line to one that after his magic fared favorably with other mainstream lines.  Leave Frank with the luxury brands and get Sheehan back at the helm of NCL.

I agree 100%. Unfortunately, Kevin Sheehan has ventured out on his own .We are stuck with Del, Rio and his service reduction plan.Pay more get less.
