My daughter does the same thing with my phone! Also, she starts deleting and moving things around! Once I lost a few contacts! Sigh… But, what would we do without them? 😁

I thank you for these land based tour companies! We spent our younger years flying to Europe, Africa, etc. with just maps, guide books and enthusiasm! Half of the fun was researching and preparing for the trips. That is all beyond me now. I welcome an itinerary and experienced guide.

Thank you! I have a few months to figure it out. And, of course I’ll ask the kids!

Then that’s not the same thing, at all, is it? It is a legitimate concern when ports are changed or dropped from the original itinerary. A host of witnesses, on this thread, have written about the reasons for their disappointments. It begins to feel like bait and switch when you contract for certain locations and are provided entirely different ones.

Wow! I haven’t experienced a somollier since my Celebrity days! It was a treat.

I need to consider this for our Mediterranean cruise. My kids gifted me an Apple Watch this last Christmas. Not only am I still trying to figure the thing out, the notion of trying to insure it synch’s with the ship’s and local times is daunting!

Same with our 9/1 Getaway cruise. Just got notice yesterday that Thessaloniki is now replacing Volos, and all of the earlier port days and times have been reshuffled. No NCL excursions offered yet for 2 of the ports and the website remains unmodified. In this instance, I think the changes are an improvement. However, it’s making this senior citizen woman scramble to change up specialty dining reservations and outside excursions. Keeping my fingers crossed that this is the last modification to the schedule!

I’m on the Getaway in Sept. and they are still allowing us to book the Million Dollar Quartet.

I think you only get 2 FAS per cabin. You don’t both get 2.

I’m a loyalist…sometimes to the point of the absurd! I also really, really hate change. However, you have given me a lot to consider. Most of my bucket list places are to far flung, exotic locations. Based on my own experiences with NCL and what I’ve read in these boards, I should look at other lines.

What does the Q restaurant serve? Is it specialty?

Agreed! I hadn’t read the other thread and didn’t understand the OP’s concern. I used the terms interchangeably but cruiseny4life is correct, the HI have a small whirlpool. And, it really only comfortably fits one person at a time. It’s a nice perk to have after a long touring day, but the primary attraction of the HI’s is that it’s the least expensive way to be part of the Haven. (And, it used to include free spa access. However, that’s sadly no longer the case).

I’ll report back if I’m notified of a change and/or offered compensation for my ‘inconvenience.’ I will not be amused!

Well, I contracted for a hot tub (retired attorney here). You could try to get a straight answer from NCL. But, who knows what last minute changes NCL may make! However, I don’t think they would still continue to advertise the cabins one way, while reconstructing them.

I just booked one for this Fall. It’s now called an HI and is still advertised as having the whirlpool. If they take the hot tub out, I’m not sure what would distinguish these rooms as Haven. They are already outside the Haven complex.
