The Yacht Club manager and the staff in the Top Sail Lounge told me that the Nicolas Feuilatte was not included when we cruised on Divina in February. After talking to the bar manager they let me have it but they never agreed that it should be included. I could get Champagne in Divina bar from the first day but not in the Top Sail Lounge.

Not book a balcony and have to bid for a Haven suite. Especially since you can’t select the cabin. We we will never sail NCL again for this very simple reason (where wanting to be in the Haven, which would normally be the case.). And I love their product! We are in same situation with two YC booked. But hey, the bidders have to feel good about getting a Haven for well less than the list price.

Complain long and loudly 4. Tell everyone in the queue your gripe 5. Tell every staff member & fellow cruiser 6. Go back to step 1 above more aggressively At disembarkation clear your life so you can tell everyone on CC until the end of time Have a great cruise 😀 I think you left out ...and want some type of compensation... . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nikkiw60 Posted May 19, 2019 Author #107 Share Posted May 19, 2019 (edited) I have come to the conclusion that cruise companies are sexist!!! i am the one who makes all the reservations etc and it is Matt who receives all the correspondence! Including, just now an email from the captain welcoming us on board next week! #peeved! Edited May 19, 2019 by nikkiw60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Including, just now an email from the captain welcoming us on board next week! #peeved! This came up at the last meet and mingle I attended. It was question number 3 after “have you ever tried to use the website” and “do the call centre staff get any induction training” 🤔 The answer given was.....when a family, group or couple first book a cruise either online or via a call centre, whoever is the lead or passenger 1 will then forever and a day be the point of contact. I switched off a bit by this time and the free very strong cocktail at 10am had started to take effect. There was a TA at the meeting who said that when she logged on to the MSC booking page the drop down arrows are pre-set to the first one as Mr and second as Mrs. When asked if it was a female calling for a couple (1 male 1 female) what would she do? The reply was start inputting under passenger 2 as its “effort” to change the drop down title. Is that sexist? In my book YES! Why should it be pre-filled at all? Also apparently it’s a default from the first ever booking if you are classed as male or female and keeps going back to the original first input. Hence why people struggle so much to get it changed when wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emmas gran Posted May 19, 2019 #110 Share Posted May 19, 2019 OK we got (that's the royal we read I) got the welcome letter from Capt Guiseppe Maresca for our Splendida cruise but cannot remember for Preziosa . Like you Nikki I do the bookings, maybe just lucky we both get emails as different email addresses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingFox27 Posted May 19, 2019 #111 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I'm always passenger 1 because like Nikki, I do all of the booking. I always receive the emails, tickets, booking updates etc. We both always receive emails regarding adding to our booking and when we are about to sail we always both receive a welcome email. So, I'm confused 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexddd Posted May 19, 2019 #117 Share Posted May 19, 2019 We had two cabins on last trip and we got two emails across the four of us from Captain and DS was one and he was pax #2. We've had several times MSC web changes male to female. TA says that is pretty common. I can say NCL sends everything to DW attention whether email or mail and I'm always pax one and pay for everything. I'm not sure what to make of cruiseline computer systems anymore.

I’m hearing that Seaside maybe out of service next May for a few days. With the popularity of the new duplex suite and queuing at guest services I’m just wondering if they plan to upgrade to a duplex guest services?😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think it does slightly- to be honest I am a vodka girl. ,red wine with dinner and VSOP after. We rarely drink at home 🏠 on our own just if we have visitors or go on holiday, DH says is that why we are away so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare nikkiw60 Posted May 21, 2019 Author #122 Share Posted May 21, 2019 We have just received updates travel documents re having booked a tour yesterday and this is on them, it may be on the originals but have not checked!
