Rare CTCruiser001 Posted July 23, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2022 For those wondering, the FASUP package is working great! No issues getting the upgrades added to cabin, other than unlimited wifi internet. The internet manager wasn't aware of this new offering and had to reach out to corporate the next day to get added to our package. Still fairly new offering, not many know about it on board. Doesn't sound like many have gotten it for our sailing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingForOBC Posted July 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted July 23, 2022 We have a cruise booked on the Pearl for next summer. Living vicariously through these posts for now. We also upgraded to the Free at Sea Plus package, and are looking forward to your reports!!! Love the pictures so far 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookiebun Posted July 24, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 24, 2022 I'm leaving on this sailing on Friday... what is the upgrade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorkingForOBC Posted July 24, 2022 #6 Share Posted July 24, 2022 It's the Free At Sea Plus package. It's not advertised on the NCL website or app. You have to call to add it to your booking. I don't know if it's been verified whether it can be added onboard. Hopefully this will link to the CC thread on the upgrade package: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/2865913-ncl-introduces-new-free-at-sea-plus-packages/?do=getNewComment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare CTCruiser001 Posted July 25, 2022 Author #7 Share Posted July 25, 2022 It was not offered on board for our current sailing. While that may change, get the offer added before sailing if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We preferred Indigo over Summer Palace as Summer Palace for dinner as it seemed to be warmer (temperature wise) at least the night we ate there. We did have breakfast one morning at Summer Palace that was very good. The only restaurant that we were disappointed with was O'Sheehan's. The service wasn't great and the food wasn't very good. Lotus Garden was very good too. Flip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WorkingForOBC Posted July 28, 2022 #12 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Hi @CTCruiser001 Would love an update on how the FASUP package is treating you, and the quality of the specialty restaurants. Your first night at Cagney's looked lovely. I'd also like to know if they've brought back any of the larger scale entertainment options to the Pearl. Enjoy your remaining time on the cruise! Feel free to update after disembarkation 🙂 Edited July 28, 2022 by WorkingForOBC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Cruise Lover Posted July 28, 2022 #13 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Sailing on the Pearl in two weeks and wondered what time the entertainment takes place. Are there one or two shows a night? Trying to make dinner reservations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We haven't cruised with NCL before, so I don't have any frame of reference. Our cruise is in October, so hopefully they'll figure it all out before then anyway, but still. Regardless, thank you so much for sharing your experience! It puts my mind at ease a bit after shelling out nearly $700 for FASUP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffet24 Posted July 29, 2022 #16 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I see that the ship has docked in Boston... So welcome back to Boston! 😉 Quick question.... how was the WiFi speed/performance on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Happycrafter123 Posted July 29, 2022 #18 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hi you mention using the fasup and also specialty dining every night. What code was your specialty dining upgrade? I have added fasup to an upcoming g cruise but now can’t get the extra dining nights I want as they say they can’t also add that on…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app showed we only had 150 minutes of wifi time to use (our Latitudes perk)...We questioned the internet manager and he had to look into it. Within the next day the app showed the full cruise length as wifi being included. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was able to communicate with DW via fb messages onboard. Pictures loaded to fb very quickly when we posted. We were happy with the speeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

queenschick9b Posted July 30, 2022 #23 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Do you know if this add on is available for all ships or is it just being piloted on certain one? I was going to do drinks and WiFi anyway so now I am wondering if I should call and do this instead based on feedback from another question. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
