$hip$hape Posted July 23, 2014 #77 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I Received an offer from NCL. In "terms and conditions"... "Offer is for new individual FIT Reservations only". They don't spell out what "FIT" means. Any help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't spell out what "FIT" means. Any help? My guess "Free Individual Traveler" Guests who are neither coming from a company or organizations and generally pay a rate which is a published tariff of a hotel.

$hip$hape Posted August 7, 2014 #79 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Silly me! When I read the inquiry from an OP , “...what is it like? This is our first time cruising with NCL and I am very nervous being on the same floor as the medical center. TIA ! “, I thought the writer was prone to having a transient ischemic attack (mini-stroke). I guess I should have known, TIA meant Thanks In Advance :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I had taken the email notifications for all threads I had posted to, I guess I never got around to this one. So for anyone looking for the updated list, compiled from additions added in this thread from other wonderful members. I never did find a way to add a PDF to my signature or find a way to get the Mods to make this into a sticky for those newbies that needed help. Oh well. Cheers all.

Rare sparks1093 Posted August 8, 2014 #81 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I Received an offer from NCL.In "terms and conditions"... "Offer is for new individual FIT Reservations only". They don't spell out what "FIT" means. Any help? This is what I found online: Foreign independent tour. Now generally used to indicate any independent travel, domestic or international, that does not involve a package tour. The important line is "does not involve a package." In the wholesale travel business, bookings made as a package include discounts that are not applied to FIT bookings. So, if you buy an air seat and a hotel room in the same reservation, but they are not part of a package, the booking is labeled FIT. It's shorthand for undiscounted bookings.

thespiritmovesme Posted August 8, 2014 #82 Share Posted August 8, 2014 There is a list of acronyms under the FAQ section of CC home page. It just isn't specific to NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the information. However, since the CC acronyms are buried in layers of FAQ, they are not easily accessible.http://boards.cruisecritic.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_reading_posting#faq_acronyms Also, they are not updated. To the OP's point... Why not make them a sticky? Today ran across a post writing about a KSF discount.

Squidward Q Tentacles Posted March 7, 2015 #87 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks. I figured out all the "dear" ones but couldn't understand why people just didn't type wife or hubby. I use the term Missus for my wife, she is just to special to me to refer to her as DW. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but I hardly use any of the acronyms in my posts.

cinegrad Posted August 2, 2015 #89 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I know this thread is a couple years old, but a huge THANKS to the original poster. I think sometimes CC people forget that everyone hasn't been here for a few years and get really bogged down in the acronym-speak. I appreciate the help breaking the code! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think sometimes CC people forget that everyone hasn't been here for a few years and get really bogged down in the acronym-speak. I appreciate the help breaking the code! :) Yes, I when I first started on CC, I had no idea what some of the acronyms meant. Che5904 was still cruising with NCL back then and this list was invaluable. I saved it my favs list and while I don't need it much anymore it's always good to have. Enjoy.

(post#30) On a NCL Breakaway thread, someone posted that their cabin was just below the EGIA . I looked up EGIA on all the acronym sites with no avail. Then it hit me... On the top deck is the ship's name; NORWEGIAN BREAKAWAY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
