We are currently aiming for D+ on Royal, which their double points promo has put realistically within our reach in the fairly near term and then (since pinnacle is a pipe dream unless our numbers come up in the lottery) I think we may start branching out to other lines that will let us visit some more interesting ports. Love Royal's big ships but there are only so many ports they can get into and it eventually starts to get old. Great mind thinks alike. Big Oasis ships can only go so many places and I have a fear of being on old old ships like Grandeur of the Seas 😮 … so I branch out to other cruise lines… as much as I like NCL’s excursion credits to visit small ports I am not a fan of their marketing techniques and the nickeling and dimming you onboard and a sales presentation at every turn so after my I use my last cruise next it will be time to sail away from NCL which is sad because I will be Platinum by that time. Diamond plus is what I am aiming for and should be there during my B3B on the Oasis of the Seas this October… after that I will probably sail more with Celebrity / Carnaval yes I said Carnaval on their Excel Class ships and Disney to keep it fresh 😆 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BennyBrun Posted July 26, 2022 Author #633 Share Posted July 26, 2022 This is a pre boarding announcement for the NCL Jade virtual cruise to Turkey / Greek Islands. Due to the distance I have to travel I will be starting this journey much earlier than say if I was going on the Oasis of the Seas. There will be no leaving for the port 5 minutes before my embarkation time 😆 … so come along for a week of cruising … boot camp style ! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
