Thank you! That's what I wanted to hear. I booked it last night.

I see $149 for a 7-day Spa Pass, but then it says Oct 19. I want a 7-day pass for both myself and my husband. I presume it's $149 pp for the week. My question is can we go into the spa together or is it separate for men and women? I really want it to be together. 

I love the Almond Croissant. Do you know if we can get them in our Haven Deck 10 Aft Penthouse? Not in the Haven proper, but the view was to die for not to book it!!!! 

We immediately went with the NCL reps to file a claim for lost luggage before we left the airport in Copenhagen. The airline rep tracked the luggage tag and said our luggage was currently in Chicago on its way to Copenhagen. When we go to the hotel we googled and saw 3 flights from Chicago to Copenhagen and were quite relieved. 
 

we don’t know what happened after that. I received msg this morning from Scandinavian Air saying our luggage is in Edinburgh and that they were sending it to my home dress. 
 

Today we board the Queen Mary 2 for a transatlantic to NY. 

Ha! I have two trackers at home in California not being used! Hoe dumb of me not to think to place them in my luggage. The third tracker is attached to my nitroglycerin and is with me. Hindsight! 

I used AMEX Aspire. I will begin claims with everyone when we return home Sep 14th. 

NCL booked our air. United connecting to Scandinavian Airlines. Insurance was NCL. We are not sure but luggage was probably lost by Scandinavian Airlines. 

Just completed first of two b2b cruises without luggage. Any tips as to what we should do as far as a claim? Second cruise is on Queen Mary tomorrow back to NY. Never had this happen before. 
 

Does anyone have their Princess Medallions yet? Three of us fly out on March 5th and that's just 2 weeks away - still no medallions!

It really sucks that when I hit Platinum the rules change! 

ha ha ha, Platinum is ok, but not the best. Maybe in days bygone it was good.

I likely will stop using Internet on board (like in days of old before Internet) and just use my phone plan offers while ashore. I have Internet on our upcoming cruise because we bought Princess Plus upgrade. Future cruises will be sans shipboard Internet. Sigh…

It was the NCL Bliss that had a sewer smell in the Haven Suite. Beautiful ship!

What NCL ship were you last on?   I agree, you should have had a reply to your letter. After spending $1000s I would not be too happy about the sewer issue.

 I can’t remember the ship, but it was out of Los Angeles.

What ship?

Ireland is NCL Dawn. The other haven was out of Los Angeles, ummmm, can’t recall ship… started with a B, I think.

Our last two cruises were in Haven 2-bdrm suites. While we love the Haven, we had a sewer door with the last cruise. We had crew in our stateroom on multiple days yet they could not fix this issue. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the 3 Haven decks and the staff and restaurant. 
 

My only complaint is that upon return, I wrote a letter describing our sewer issue. I never received a reply. That is what bothered me the most. Not a single word from NCL.
 

On that same cruise, a couple just a few doors down had standing water in their bathroom for 3 consecutive days. Also with crew working in their Haven suite almost constantly. NCL had some plumbing issues to be sure. 
 

We are cruising with NCL this August (Ireland, England, Scotland), but decided to sail back to NY on the Queen Mary II, just to get a taste of her. I’m not going to say I’m not cruising with NCL again, but I just want to say how disappointed I was to be ignored. Frankly, I love cruising too much to cut out any cruise line. And yes, the spa, while nice, is too pricey.

What is it that NCL is doing for you that Princess doesn't? If you think you are getting "free WiFi" you'd better check what that includes and more importantly does not include.

Nothing other than I really enjoy the Haven. 

I remember cruising before Internet existed. I liked it then and I will like it now. I am bummed that a really nice freebie was taken away. Since losing that perk, I have booked two NCL cruises in the Haven. We are leaving on a little 5-day Princess cruise on Monday, and I have booked Princess for Australia/New Zealand in March 2023. I will probably use Internet resources while visiting the ports.

I booked the Grand for Sept 30 almost a year ago so it was not a replacement for a Hawaii cruise. Some of these cruises might be but certainly not most. 

 I have been following the occupancy of my cruise and it has been 40-50% so it seems Princess is trying to fill up under selling sailings.

We booked this cruise for 2023. Hope those places accept cruise ships! We were on a 30-day South Pacific when the pandemic hit and Samoa closed its ports to us. We were all worried they would quarantine us like the Diamond Princess! 

We’re in Upland and Quest locations around us are not open on weekends. We won’t be driving to Palmdale or Corona! We have to test on a Saturday to be in compliance. I called Princess, but the rep wasn’t very helpful. Kaiser is testing on Saturdays at Palm Court in Fontana, so we will show up at 7am for the test. I will ask for a rush, but who knows what rush is. The good thing is they email the results to us. I got my first test results in less than 24 hours, but that was for surgery. Despite this shortened test result time, I’m just happy to be on a cruise again. 

ThNk you for the form! 

We are shareholders and will be cruising Oct 4th for the first time as shareholders. What do we need to do to let them know? I booked directly with Princess. What form are you talking about? 

We will be on the Grand on Oct. 4th. Are 6 year olds required to be vaccinated? I’m sure this is all so new for everyone that there are more questions than answers! We are seniors, so both of us are vaccinated. I presume we will still both need COVID-19 tests though. I’ve never had one. 

I thought the comment about staying in he buffet was funny and not a put down. It was meant as levity. 

ThNk you all! I saw that Hilton on Flinders. I will book with points! 

We booked our Australia/New Zealand cruise today. We are considering the princess pre cruise hotel package. Any opinions on this? What did the package cost? I also have the option of using Hilton Honors points or a timeshare.
