dinkydee718 Posted September 22, 2018 #11 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The cabin perks applied to everyone in the cabin, not just the first two passengers!

senoragilbert Posted September 22, 2018 #14 Share Posted September 22, 2018 There were several decks on the Norway where there were no lights at night, so you could see billions of stars in the sky. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted September 22, 2018 #15 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The cabin perks applied to everyone in the cabin, not just the first two passengers! (Though in fairness, now they have the promos where you only pay full price for pax one and two) I've gotten promos for all in the stateroom & guests 3-8 free at the same time. Guests 3&4 in my case got UDP (unlimited uses) and soda program for both (they're too young for UBP, anyway). No promo service charges for any of us plus 1&2 didn't pay a DSC and #4 didn't pay a DSC because she was under 3 years-old (that part hasn't changed). We also got $500 OBC. ....to do a cruise in the same suite on Joy during the same time of year is now more than twice as much with weaker or fewer promos.:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

17cruisesnsl Posted September 22, 2018 #24 Share Posted September 22, 2018 The Norway before it was expanded and it's spa pool was considered unique Tasting Aquavit on the Norway - still have the "collectable" horn shaped shot glass but couldn't drink the Aquavit then or now - too strong! 2 formal nights on a 7 night cruise Assigned dinner seating and waiters had assistants Unlimited lobster tails even when you said "one is plenty" Champagne at embarkation No specialty restaurants 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
