zitsky Posted November 14, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 14, 2017 My TA says we should have 4 but NCL.com shows only 2. Has anyone had this happen? Obviously I will push the TA to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hladygirl Posted November 14, 2017 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Was this the promo package? If the cruise is ten nights and longer you get 4 nights. If less nights you get 3 nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted November 14, 2017 #3 Share Posted November 14, 2017 It says "2", meaning it's for 2 people. Same if you have the UBP, it says "Quantity: 2" but that doesn't mean you only get two drinks :D The number of meals in the package is not indicated anywhere in your Vacation Summary, as far as I know. Ask your TA to send you your Amenity Confirmation, and it should appear there as "4 Meal Specialty Dining Package" (or something similar), under each guest's name.

zitsky Posted November 15, 2017 Author #5 Share Posted November 15, 2017 It's 14 day cruise. I'm going to do a quick conference call with my TA and NCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeyetlse Posted November 15, 2017 #6 Share Posted November 15, 2017 This is what it says on the invoice under Add-ons (bottom of the page)Yes, the number of meals appears on NCL's Guest Confirmation, but since the OP booked through a TA, they probably don't have access to this document. But they can ask their TA for the Amenity Confirmation from NCL, as I mentioned above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zitsky Posted November 16, 2017 Author #7 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Here's what the NCL amenity confirmation has: Me: 4 Meal Specialty Dining Package Spouse: 4 Meal Specialty Dining Package Shouldn't that mean that we each get 4 meals?

Rare All-ready2cruise Posted November 16, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Yes, and that's what it does mean, you'll be fine and each will have 4 specialty dinners. Relax, you're good. Enjoy your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would behoove you to stop the comparisons with Viking. NCL is not a river cruise company. There is no comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted November 17, 2017 #15 Share Posted November 17, 2017 The only thing that bothers me is how crowded and slow things will be on a ship of 2000. Viking was 200. I agree with CI, there is simply no comparison with Viking river cruise boat and the NCL Sun which has some great public spaces. I don't recommend comparing any cruise lines really. As with Land based vacations, cruises should be seen as a different experiences and enjoyed as such. Even cruising on different ships/ cruise lines/ cabins, so are the experinces you'll enjoy on the Sun. I did my first solo cruise on the Sun just last month and while it was new (I'd always cruised with my DH) it was still a wonderful experience. Think outside the box, stop expecting it to be the same to past experiences or similar and enjoy what's different... you'll be surprised at how much there is to be enjoyed. Enjoy..

zitsky Posted November 17, 2017 Author #16 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I use Viking mostly as a size comparison. Are you both suggesting that a ship of 2000 will run the same as one of 200? If I thought I wouldn't enjoy NCL, I would have never booked the cruise. I do appreciate the comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare All-ready2cruise Posted November 17, 2017 #17 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy NCL Sun, especially with your cureosity, however, comparing only the size... well, that can lead to problems if you're only going to focus on that. Here are some stats from Viking (not sure which vessle) and NCL Sun from Wikipedia. I know you'll notice the difference from 200 to 930 pax but you didn't mention which Viking Star ship so: General characteristicsClass and type:Viking Star-classType:Cruise shipTonnage:47,800 GTLength:228 metres longBeam:29 metres wideDraught:6.3 metresDecks:14Installed power:MAN Diesel & Turbo 2x9L32/44CR + 2x12V32/44CR generating setsPropulsion:2 Shafted PropellersSpeed:20 knotsCapacity:930 passengersCrew:602 crewmembers NCL Sun General characteristicsClass and type:Sun class cruise shipTonnage:78,309 GTLength:848 ft (258.47 m)Beam:123.1 ft (37.52 m)Draft:26 ft (7.92 m)Decks:13Speed:23 knots (43 km/h; 26 mph)Capacity:1,936 passengers (2,400 max)Crew:906 There is, of course, a difference in the size. What I would suggest is that the crew really can make the difference. Will it be the same as the crew on the Viking? No, unlikely that it will, however, it will be, IMO, a very friendly, and nice crew, no matter which NCL ship you cruise. Mine on the Sun was wonderful, but so was my experience on the Star, the Pearl, the Epic ... the list goes on... it's all up to you. I can't make your cruise for you but if you focus on the size and what the other ship on the other cruise line was like... I bet you can break your cruise. Like I said before, relax and enjoy your cruise... Stop worrying about what's not the same and enjoy le difference... Cheers, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zitsky Posted December 16, 2017 Author #20 Share Posted December 16, 2017 So I never did get this issued resolved. I did a conference call with TA and NCL. But I have two different confirmation documents from NCL that show everything I'm supposed to have. The only things missing on ncl.com were, (1) in room calling and (2) 4 specialty dinners (not 2). Just called NCL this morning which is how I got the second confirmation document. I guess I'll just have to go on the ship and get a staff member to confirm that I do have what I'm supposed to have.

Rare KeithJenner Posted December 21, 2017 #22 Share Posted December 21, 2017 There is nothing to confirm regarding the meals. As has been stated, it is saying that you have 2 meal packages (one for you and one for the other person in the room). Each of those packages will include the number of meals you should have. You can’t have a 2 meal package, by the way, there is no such thing. The minimum number of meals in the package is 3.
