No matter what NCL does regarding vaccination status, testing, masks, social distancing, capacity, etc., there will be some people who will like it and some people who will not like it. There is no protocol that will make everyone happy nor is there a protocol that will guarantee that nobody will get sick.
It's up to the individual to decide if they want to cruise with NCL or if they don't want to cruise with NCL.
All that I ask is that NCL gives adequate notice of changes (when possible) and gives booked guests a fair and reasonable option if a guest decides to cancel.
What I was told was that the spot under the keypad (where the numbers are) is where the YC wristbands would be used if the system was active. It would still work the same way as far as selecting the desired destination but the summoning of the elevator would be expressed if the system was in use.
You forgot smoking locations, children in Yacht Club/Haven/Retreat, chair hogs, butler usage, nickel and dime, bait and switch, buffet line-cutting, drone usage, tattoos, loyalty status bragging, dropping step-grandchildren out of windows.......👎
When I was on Seashore, the Priority Elevator feature wasn't active. I've used it on other ships but it didn't happen on Seashore. Even when it works, it isn't always better than standard elevator service (Meraviglia). On Seaside, certain elevators worked better than others.
Consistent inconsistency....MSC. 😉
"Club Balcony Suites provide additional amenities and privileges at no additional cost. Amenities include the option to pre-book onboard entertainment and dining as early as 125 days prior to sail date, complimentary treats delivered to your stateroom, a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine, and a choice of one valet laundry or pressing service." - LINK
I've done similar. I booked a sleeps 4 for only 2 people because of bed location and balcony size. Once for an angled balcony and once for a larger than standard "secret" balcony. I had to call but it was no problem.
As a side note, it seems that most people don't want a connecting stateroom unless they specifically try to book one. When people ask about a specific stateroom, I usually try to warn them if it is connecting.
For some ships, the sleeping capacity will alternate between 3 and 4. If someone is booking as 2 or 3, there will be "gaps" as the booking engine will skip the "sleeps 4" staterooms. If people are booking as a group of 4, the "sleeps 2 or 3" will obviously be skipped.
What happens is that people in one group will book a connecting stateroom and the one connected to it will be empty until someone in the other group books it.
Try doing a mock booking with the other group as your number of guests. See if any available connecting staterooms match with the group number that you currently have. If you find a match, have either a PCC or travel agent book that pair. They can book 2 or 3 in a sleeps 4.
I think that the "CXL" is just how MSC deals with changes. As long as the "INCL" is correct, I wouldn't worry. I have plenty of CXL lines on confirmations whenever a change is made but in the end, everything has been correct.
Here is the 2nd bedroom with the sofa bed in "sleeps 2" configuration. The small door for the bathroom doesn't open fully when the bed is like this, iirc. Nearly all of the 2BR H6 (new code) have the Pullman in the ceiling. The only one that doesn't sleeps 5 (16722)
The package is still "free" but the service charge still needs to be paid. This goes for everyone who takes the PBP promo. By taking the package and paying 1 service charge, the guest isn't charged 20% per drink the way that someone without the package is charged.
A person with the PBP can have 100 drinks and pay nothing extra.
True but buying a SDP (specialty dining package) for guest #3 is the same price no matter who #3 is.
Doing it the creative way gets the soda package for $1.99 per person per day instead of the full price of $9.95 pppd + $1.99 pppd.
If guest #1 or #2 gets the PBP promo, all other adults also get the PBP promo and pay just the 20% service charge. It's all or nothing.
If guest #2 is a minor, that minor would get the soda package. All other adults would still get the PBP.
If a guest other than #2 is a minor, that minor gets nothing.
