No, just buy one as each package is for 2 people

Is this the Future of all Observation Lounges?
SpainAlien replied to BirdTravels's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
They've done most of this already and I must admit I am holding off from booking another NCL cruise (after the one I have in November) until I check out RCCL cost cutting measures in February. The value for money has reduced drastically since i started cruising 8 years ago and whilst I appreciate that the cruise lines have covid debt to pay off they still have to provide an attractive service to maintain high booking levels. -
I'm looking forward to your review, we are in an oceanview cabin on Star in 42 days. Are you in a port hole cabin, if so please let me know if it noisy, I had one on Dawn in May and on some nights I struggled to sleep and ended up getting earplugs from Guest Services

Price Drop after Final Payment & OBC types

It was discounted. -
Price Drop after Final Payment & OBC types
SpainAlien replied to PinkButterfly03's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I booked my cruise in May through CAS and when the price dropped (after final payment) Irequested and was issued a 500$ future cruise credit which was valid from my disembarkation date for 12 months. I had to book and sail within that 12 month period. The credit was only applicable to the cruise fare, it could not be used for gratuities or taxes. If you purchase obc you can use that to pay the dsc but you can't use your shareholders obc for that. I don't know if you can use purchased obc in the casino I'm afraid. -
When ‘Free at Sea’ is not Free at At Sea
SpainAlien replied to PollyMurg's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Is this charge being applied to drinks bought in Spanish waters? If so it is already mentioned in the T&Cs plus it has been all over the cruise bloggers/vloggers pages recently. -
Thank you for your reply, out of interest where did they hold it?

Could I just check that the email address is still specialevents(shipname)@ncl.com? The post I found giving this email address was pretty old so I just wanted to confirm. Also how long do they normally take to reply, I have written to specialeventsstar@ncl.com for a cruise in November and I wanted to make sure I was doing it right.

Norwegian Star dinner reservations 3 nights
SpainAlien replied to aggie311's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I would (and do) choose Cagneys, La Cucina and Teppenyaki but sometimes I go to Le Bistro instead of La Cucina. You can check the sample menus on your cruise planner to see if any of the menu items take your fancy -
Replacement for Footloose on NCL Joy
SpainAlien replied to Cheer Mom D's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
What the World Needs Now on Star has been replaced with Deal or No Deal on our cruise planner. I hope that NCL don't just get rid of all the major production shows, that is one of my favourite things on a cruise. I don't drink a lot so sitting in a bar all night doesn't appeal and I don't like magicians or jugglers particularly (I don't think it works well in a large theatre) -
I believe you can only order two drinks at a time per person I don't know how long you would need to wait to order another two maybe 10 minutes, maybe less, but the bar staff are required to ensure that nobody gets blind drunk so I expect it would depend on their assessment of your ability to continue drinking.

I have $500 FCC from a price drop which is due to expire on 12th June, I know the t&cs say that I have to book and sail before then but has anyone managed to get an extension on one for a month?

Has anyone been to Agadir port before? Since the Moroccan Dirham (MAD) is a closed currency we can't get any before we arrive there so does anyone know if there is a cash point or exchange desk at Agadir port? We have excursions booked but want a little cash for tips and I know local currency is best.

Platinum perks can I bring my husband (gold)??
SpainAlien replied to SpainAlien's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I didn't think so but it would have been nice. -
This is my second cruise as Platinum and last time I enjoyed both the ship tour and wines around the world. My husband is currently Gold and won't be Platinum until after our next cruise, is he allowed to accompany me on either of these perks?

I live in Europe and this weekend the RCCL cruises appeared, i was lucky enough to get a 12 day New Zealand cruise from Sydney. Some people are reporting a 16 day trans Pacific but that wasn't shown on my feed.

What is the difference between Suite vs Club Balcony Suite❓
SpainAlien replied to Ozzieru1e's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
The club balcony shouldn't be called a suite, it is just a balcony cabin with a few extra amenities and a slightly bigger bathroom. It doesn't have access to The Haven, you don't get a butler and you don't have access to the concierge -
How long does it take to get a refund on The Key?
SpainAlien replied to SpainAlien's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thank you, I'll give that a call. -
How long does it take to get a refund on The Key?
SpainAlien replied to SpainAlien's topic in Royal Caribbean International
Thank you. It was booked through a US travel agent so I guess I need to call the US but I can't get that number I just get referred back to the Spanish site -
CAS booked with discount cert and now big price drop
SpainAlien replied to DanSgt's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I was in a similar situation, they gave me FCC for 100% of the difference but they said they didn't do obc anymore. The FCC has to be used on a new sailing within 12 months of your return date and only applies to the cruise fare not the taxes, port fees, etc. -
CAS drink card (discounted cruise)
SpainAlien replied to SomewhereGirl's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Sorry to hijack this post but do you actually have to be gambling to use the card or do you just go via the casino bar on the way to the theatre for example. Also, presumably since you are not paying for the drink do you tip a couple of bucks per drink? -
I agree but I live in Spain so I can get to Barcelona in a few hours by train or car. A 7 day cruise is easy, you can get time off work without much problem and the kennel costs for 2 dogs is more affordable. Given that the itineraries that are really upsetting me are the ones that start and finish in different ports. Obviously a repositioning cruise is an exception but it looks like they are just doing one way cruises instead of round trip ones now out of preference.
