The surprise being you couldn't be within several feet of the pool with any kind of drink.  As in, even if you were sitting on the side of the pool, no drink.  Even if it was a plastic cup of water.

I was wondering if this was specific to the Epic, NCL or a new thing on all ships.

I am not a super heavy drinker at all, but when on a cruise in Caribbean I certainly enjoy a good slushy drink poolside.  Is it now the norm on ships that you cannot have a drink next to or in the pool???  I was pretty surprised that this was the case on my most recent NCL cruise.

That makes me feel better!  Thanks!!

At this point, I just want them to cancel our trip as I would like a refund and not FCC.  We are scheduled to sail on 5/31 out of NYC.  There is no way I am coming anywhere near NYC for a long time and at this point would like to not even cruise this year.  

Like everyone else, we are disappointed as we were very much looking forward to this family vacation.  We would like to maybe still travel somewhere (safe) this summer which is why we are hoping for a refund.

Thoughts??

Yes, you will need to buy him a package if he plans on dining with you.  I plan on purchasing our extra one when we board the ship so I can use onboard credit to do so.

Well I called to see if they would upgrade our stateroom and they couldn't.  We currently have 2 adjoining balcony rooms and were hoping to upgrade to 2 adjoining mini-suite balcony rooms.  However, because the mini-suites are now lower in price than the balcony rooms I originally booked, they won't let us.  However, they did give me $1000 in onboard credit.

We are leaving on May 31st on the Encore out of NYC.  The price for the cruise has dropped significantly, however since we are paid in full, they won't price adjust.  With the new cancellation policy, can I cancel and rebook the same cruise to get the lower price?  Does the balance sit the as future cruise credit?

Thank you!!!

Can you explain how the pricing for the Laser Tag and Race Track work?  We are taking the Encore to Bermuda with our 3 teens this summer.  I know you said there is an unlimited week long pass for $199.  Is there a day pass as well?

Thanks!!
