How you know the airline did not make a schedule change? There had to be some reason NCL changed an already ticketed flight. My guess is some schedule changed (either the flight or the ship). Which ever one changed owes him the fees, IMO, but I haven't read the T&Cs for NCL flights (and I don't care to because there is no way in hell I'd ever use them). Another option is NCL found a cheaper set of flights or they realized the flights they booked wouldn't work - in either of those cases NCL owes him the fees, IMO.

Of course you not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I'm another one who has seen trained dogs walking the halls of a cruise ship. I don't remember exactly when/where, but if I had to guess it was probably Bermuda.

I thought there was international or maritime law that stated weed was illegal to have on a ship. I don't know who or what enforces those laws though or what the risk of breaking those laws is. @chengkp75 - am I misremembering something here or can you elaborate?

If you had a ticketed flight reservation, which you must have had if you bought seats and bags, why was it changed?

Waterfront or Observation Lounge. Both are large and spread out so it should be no problem finding a quiet space to yourself.

Someone/something owns the rights to the song (likely Queen or their record company) and they certainly can sell said rights. I don't think I'd ever seen/heard the Pitbull ad but I'd definitely seen the Queen ad. I must not be part of the demographic the Pitbull ad was targeting.

I don't feel sorry for them. My conversations with the Vibe bartenders leads me to believe Vibe is one of the more desired positions. And on a ship like Bliss where it's easy to be inside while still "at" the bar (vs Viva where the bar is separated from the back room) I'm sure they are all doing just fine.

OK, they can pre-assign. That doesn't necessarily mean change (and I understand you didn't write "change"). Thank you for clarifying.

Say what?!? Who is "they" and where have you seen/heard them say this? I currently have two reservations for the venue and date/time that I want. Are you saying Princess can change that on me to something totally different?

I'm getting a kick out of this thread. Over on the NCL pages there is discussion of how NCL has apparently eliminated all beef dishes from the MDR menus with the exception of the NY Strip which is available every evening (and is simply awful). One poster was doing a live report a couple weeks ago and posted each night's menus. Sure enough, not one beef dish offered on any night in the MDR.

I think that's a great way to describe Moderno.

curious - how much was the cabana?

I agree with others, try the web site, call, and if those don't work then keep checking back.

Where exactly did you see that? Are you sure it was for Vibe that you saw it and not dining? You went under "entertainment" to book Vibe, right. If you had said someone told you 120 days, I'd say that person was confused. If it's actually online and not for dining, then that would be interesting.

I'm not aware that you get anything other than a couple passes to the Vibe and the cabana. Only advice I have is "enjoy". Viva Vibe bartenders were great and strong proponents of "shot-o-clock" when we were there in December.
