whoa! could the announcement be any more exciting? Meh!

[complawyer]

maybe i missed it completely, or just looked in the wrong spot, but went to ncl website and didnt see any type of "big, new" announcement

 

went to google, and saw ncl press release about the new aqua sailings in 2025.(at 76 years old) i dont like to plan that far ahead, and dont even buy green bananas

 

if this was actually the big announcement, once again, as i posted before, i am more than underwhelmed

[macewank]

The announcement hasn't gone out yet. Aqua sailings are old news. 

[Rick&Jeannie]

Is it *only* available thru those methods?  I don't do either one...

[complawyer]

not me!! wouldnt ncl be better served if they posted their announcement on their own web-site,

or maybe their failure to do so is a way to admit this big announcement "aint no big deal"

The terms and conditions stated that you must have one of those three accounts in order to enter. I didn't see a free entry by mailing a postcard like other contests. Instagram and TikTok must be public accounts, as well...so much for being a domestic violence survivor and winning a cruise. 

 

Have to cruise before 12/31/24, can't cruise during blackout dates, and you can't cruise on Pr1ma class or Pride of America. A whole lot of exclusions...surprise, surprise! 

 

Congrats to whomever the winners are. I'm thinking I'll not be entering! 

 

[cruiseny4life]

Omgoshles!! I just read when the prize will be awarded and the blackout dates.

 

So, you'll be informed around March 1st that you've won a cruise! YAY!!!

 

You cannot take the cruise between March 1 - April 7, or June 2 - September 1, or November 17 to November 27. And, I was wrong above, you must embark the cruise on or before December 14th. 

[carohs]

I have to complete a challenge?? meh. Way to weed out bots I guess but too much effort. 

[Rick&Jeannie]

Yeah...once I*finally* figured out how to get to this thing and saw what you have to do...Nope, I'll pass as well.

Me too.

Good grief 😱  This is the best of the best for NCL's 2024 Wave Season kickoff, three ... that's for a grand total of 3 lucky  winners. 

 

Better hurry 🙀🫣🫢😳🥴😤😬 to sail and sustain for you (in)convenience. Their marketing efforts, all in ... for this.  

Yawn 🥱 

[cruiseny4life]

The excitement elsewhere is palpable! Are we surprised Cruise Criticers aren't? Hehe

 

Leave it to the kiddos to win (and provide free marketing for NCL)!

So are you saying this promotion is not aimed at "The Contemporary Cruiser"?

I'm surprised that they didn't add "...and one baby zebra..."

"New places. New experiences. New memories to be made. " Just not on the newest ships and only sailings from the US.

once again ncl overwhelms it's consumer base with this miraculous, fantasmagoric  opportunity.

 

think i'll paint the shed instead, and the gutters need cleaning, seems like a lot more fun.

 

by the way, is there any mention of the category type?  

 

sarcasm wholly and intentionally added to this post.

 

all of you be well, safe and enjoyable cruising, and see ya on the flip side. 

[ChiefMateJRK]

Who among us was honestly expecting anything more?

[complawyer]

hey chief, we can always hope (useless to try, but better than a stick in the eye)

 

certainly wasnt expecting a  contest!

[Travelling2Some]

Ahhh, the ever elusive "free lunch" strikes again.

A great philosopher named Homer once shared the following wisdom with his fine young son Bart:  "trying is the first step towards failure."

 

Perhaps we can build on that in this case.  "Hope is the first step towards disappointment?"😀

I would not do any social media contests or click bait. That is a good way to put all your info out there for constant harassment. phone scams email text all of it.
