SunshineGal2022 Posted February 5, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 5, 2023 The NCL website is significantly faster, you can switch between viewing the prices per person or by stateroom, and you have more sort options (like sorting offers and room types!). 😀. I might be missing some of the new features but those are the ones I noticed. I was happily surprised by the changes when I was playing around on the website tonight. Hopefully the same IT team can redo the NCL app and fix all the issues with it, too! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a solo cruiser I always need to find that so I can get an accurate price for me, and I'm glad NCL puts that up front rather than hiding at the last step before selecting a stateroom type like Royal does. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinaInTexas Posted February 5, 2023 #3 Share Posted February 5, 2023 I saw this post and was hoping my issue of trying to book dining had been resolved. Everytime I pick a restaurant, party size, and time it goes into my cart. But then when I go to checkout it shows I have nothing there. First time cruising NCL, is this a normal glitch and I have to call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the free ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, you can start booking dining reservations about 90 days from embarkation date ( unless you are Platinum and above, then you can book 120 days out). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that's right -- we just sailed our first NCL cruise last week and were able to book dining at 120 days. I guess it depends on the cruise length?

Dining reservations open to all at 120 days. Status and cabin type can change that to as early as 130 days (some at 130, some at 125). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So logged on my desktop and had all my dinners booked in 10 minutes, try that should work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredflint Posted February 5, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 5, 2023 Yes first rule of thumb for issues is desktop then different browser make sure you don't have an add blocker or other add on to your browser. The best thing to do is to have a browser and save it for stuff you know is safe like going to your bank or booking a cruise the other browser you can keep more restricted and use that for other internet stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmuller328 Posted February 6, 2023 #12 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Did you also notice that you can select price per person or by stateroom when comparing fares on a particular date ? ( see slide over black bar in right corner) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have already booked some of our dining but not all so timing isn’t the issue. Happens on the app, Safari and Chrome so that’s not it either. Not too fuzzed at this stage, still two months until our cruise. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally saw the little live chat box option on the screen as I was trying and typed in my issue and they were able to book all my dining quickly. I was dreading having to call so happy it got done.

Basic rule of thumb with NCL website and app always have a backup form of access, and ideally more than 1 backup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
