    Black card taster dinner

    in MSC Cruises

    According to recent deck plans, El Sombrero Tex Mex is still the Speciality Restaurant onboard Fantasia (I'm open to correction on this).  I don't have a sample menu from that venue as we haven't sailed on her in quite some time - sorry.

     

    MSC has replaced the Tex Mex restaurant on Splendida with Butcher's Cut and, I imagine, they'll do the same on Fantasia (if they haven't already done so).

    Now that makes sense that they change it.

    For our upcoming cruise in may it says online I can buy a dining package  for Butcher's Cut. 

    So I guess they change it until may.

    Well that would be fine with me.

    Verify Latitudes Discount on Shorex

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Last cruise on the Jade even worse

    We booked onboard, so I say to the shore excursion guy...my and I are both Platinum, plz dont fort the latitudes discount...1 excursion is not available...the rest is...so he books it...

     

    I go up to my cabin...check the onboard account...well no discount applied...

     

    Later that afternoon I talked it over with my wife what excursion we would like to do instead of the one that was now available...

     

    Guess what I talk to the same guy again...and seems to remember me...tell him about the platinum discount...and also dont forget the discount on the other excursions ...

    I go up to my cabin...and guess what...finally everything is correct...

     

    I gotta say to get you latitudes discount is always a hassle...they have to fix it somehow!

    Breakaway to Western Caribbean 9/1 in Haven

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    First; It is the breakayway, not escape

    Is it a spa suite or normal one?

    If spa take that one and use you $500 CruiseNext deposit

     

    I would not do the 2nd for the bucks and 3rd scares me a bit too

     

    4th could be good one too, if you do like meditaranian food and italien style and from what I read and saw the overall YC complex is nicer there.

     

    Since I am Platinum with NCL (Black with MSC too) and condisdering the route and all I would go NCL with a close second to MSC

    Compare NCL Haven Penthouse to MSC YC Suite

    in MSC Cruises

    Posted

    YC is still 30 to 40% (most times) less than NCL haven...at least during the weeks I I looked for comparable routes and ships

     

    The big advantage NCL has is that there are so many more different suite types are available (but they do cost more of course). And with bliss joy and encore they finally added an ocean view lounge...great...but still in those ships the price difference is somestimes 100%...looked at a carribean cruise on encore vs seaside in feb...10k vs 5k...ok brand new ship...but still a huge difference... now even on epic its still 6.5k...and that ship is older...

    not that you cannot get a good price with ncl too...joy about same time...from LA...5k gets you a haven cabin...

    Thanks to Tallnthensome and his post about additional excursion credit I called NCL

     

     

    So Check out your current reservations to see if the Additional $50 per port excursion credit can apply to you....Just called NCL and we have 2 cruises booked 
    in 2020 and already had the 5 perks including the $50 per port excursion credit.

     

    Called just now and with this new perk of Airfare OR a ADDITIONAL $50 per port excursion credit they easily added on the EXTRA $50 per port excursion....So now we get $100 per port excursion credit 😜💰

     

    Only difference in our bookings was our Free specialty dining package went up a total of $8.00 on each cruise due to changing it......Had a third additional cruise booked where they had already given us a $100 OBC And on that cruise we would of lost the OBC but gained the extra $50 excursion credit....only doing 1 excursion that cruise so left it alone w the original perks....Not all cruises have this New additional $50 excursion perk but you can easily do a Mock booking on your cruise and when you get to the perk section it’ll tell you.......Ours was Get all 5 and at the bottom we could ALSO pick EITHER free airfare or Free $50 additional excursion perk 

     

    GREAT additional savings for sure 😜

    I just emailed my TA about that new promo for my 6 upcoming cruises. 

    Lets see if I can get it for a few at no extra cost. Some of those europe cruises are pretty port intensive and those extra bucks could really make a difference when comparing ncl ex (pretty expensive) and local tours, but my wife actually prefers ncl just in case a tour runs late or so.

     

    So thx for the info!

    Children/kids are NOT allowed in/at SpiceH2O, with or without their parents and this should have reported to someone!  SpiceH2O is an ADULTS ONLY venue!

    As long as their are 2 or more hot tubs on the Main Pool deck...one for kids too and one adult only and the adults using the kids one and the adults is almost empty...I have no problem if one is using SpiceH2O with kids
