When I downloaded a Mint free esim, there are several setting that can be turned on that basically have verizon's Wifi calling to run over the esims data connection. Test worked perfect, so doing that for Europe. Thanks for all the advice. 🙂

Yeah quite a bit. Not going via Airalo, but Simly, A data only for all of Europe is 50gb for $40, data only. A little more for a european number. Just going for GPS, upload the photos and the passes for the stops. Verizon is $10 a day, but an 11 day cruise would go $110, the monthly is $100, and an esim is $30. I was just hoping to keep cell while on the ship, but goes out far enough they will turn on the cell service on the ship. Seems prices have gone up a little. Airalo us usually around the same price. Just need to find a promo code or something

They still do, but the cost is out of this world, and it costs $20 for the privilege.

That’s what I needed to know. Thanks so much.

Priobably not using the right wording. The Cruise ship usually has a cell service they provide, curious as to is that is on while there or if too close to the coast. I am just picking up a Sim for data use only while on land, but would plan on using the data while on the ship, instead of the wifi package.

So they do run the cell at sea service. Dang, not that it matters but has some wifi, just looking to do some photos and a call or two.

Was going to get a Euro eSim, but any one ever been on a med cruise? Does the Cell at sea ever come on or does the ship stay within coastal reach of the towers? Within reason of course.

All of ours, three sets have been in economy, but not basic. Could choose seats, upgrade whatever. So the discount probably happens by bulk purchase of tickets, and I imagine, although rare, having non refundable tickets would bite them in the pants when there is a cancelation.

Had NCL book an after cruise hotel in Venice, one was a 3 star in St Marks square, but I went with Crowne Plaza East Quarto D'altino. For one I prefer outside of Venice proper, and also IHG member. Its a 10 minute train ride in, and next to a train stop.

I seem to remember a bonus points offer for NCL using the BOA card. Something like 4x or 5x points instead of 3x. Maybe it was a black friday thing. Anyone know anything about that? Tried searching and nothing came back, I have a balance due in January for a Med cruise, and would love to double the 18k points on black friday. Then again, could be crazy and the bonus is just in my head.

Booked it online. Cashed in the voucher from the NCL card to go from Family window to Family balcony. Now just need to wait 360 more days. Will ask about it during our cruise next month and see if there is anything they could do, maybe bump to spa balcony or not. Just didn't want to wait, and still have plenty of time to cancel or change.

Thank you so much, I thought I remembered hearing booking on the ship saves money or free extra perks, but maybe that was years ago.

After our next cruise in a month we will be platinum. Any benefit to booking as gold or just wait for platinum? Any benefit to booking it on the ship? I have heard two different stories. First one is you can book and pay lowest category and they move you to the highest level of that tier, and the other one is there is no benefit at all. I plan to combine this with a BOA card benefit to go up one meta. So I was looking to book Family Ocean view, then move to family balcony. Good news is Europe is not until May 2024, so still some time, but I would like to book the cruise itself as soon as possible. The excursions are not that big of a deal, I think I would get another 5% off being platinum over gold. So those can wait. Thanks so much.

Cause I had thought it bottomed out and if it went back up, could almost make my initial money back...LOL...never will loose everything and was only playing with money I could spare so no biggy. It will go back I am sure. Maybe...

Dang it. I missed that and bought in at $16, still hoping for $50 again, bought extra every time it dropped. So I have extra and can still keep the OBC.
