  1. gb8 it is not you. I do Resort Casual day and night on my sailings as my preferred dress code, even when renting an Alcove, while a few of my guests choose to wear shorts or bathing suits, which to me in the short run is not that revolting!!! Just not at dinner, please... LOL But that is just me and I get a lot of grief about being so 'formal' when I Am not, while on my vacation... I tell my friends "you dress you rather I would wear something similar or not"... LOL bon voyage
  2. It is a "fully inclusive" course... The enjoyment, learning or lack thereof is dependent on the person who is the leader. The tasting will include a history of the distiller, the various types available and a tasting of several different varieties available. You will be tasting various ones with and without water to experience the difference in taste and made aware of how to best drink it or not according to your taste and desire. Premium drink package has only covered one (1) of the up to six (6) different ones available on-board. But that may have changed since last year. I do a tasting on every X sailing I take and this year I will also do the Jack Daniel's tasing. Cheers and bon voyage
  3. KD - I Am very happy to hear about your complete remission as I Am sure you and your family are as well.. continued good health. While I Am not familiar with NCL's insurance coverage, I can only posit that if it is 'similar' to third party policies, while pre-existing conditions are covered, yet a change in protocols to manage the conditions can trigger a denial. Please re-read the coverages and exclusions related to 'pre-existing conditions' and I think it will spell out how these and similar situations will be handled. A caveat with insurance IME is "... if it is not specifically included, then it is excluded." unfortunately. In health and many more bon voyages
  4. gp not to worry, on this forum, this is what the 'experienced' posters and readers do to help protect those of us who understand that some coverage may be needed regardless cost of sailing... and have questions about the who, what, when, where and how much to consider. bon voyage
  5. I see what the issue is with the "screen shots" provided, you did not click through to a final price in order to determine if in fact there is a bag fee AND if so, what that fee is for the international flights, as far as I can tell. Plus it is for Basic Economy (based on what I read you posted) which is known not to include much of anything but a seat assigned at check in. Once you click through then you can readily see what the "potential" final purchase price AND compare cost of purchasing a basic economy ticket (with add-ons) vs a lowest bucket fare with all included. IMO that is how you can determine the value, to you, and if it is worth the purchase for you. Then you will have better grounds to comment on what fares are for your desired trip and ask about how to get lower fares which I believe is the question not asked directly or initially. bon voyage
  6. rnd - should be no issues. Only L&S had specific restrictions, as I recall. YET, you may want to call X to confirm the T&C's of your particular FCD. bon voyage
  7. tf - There are one (1) category upgrades for within the port hole and general verandah categories and NOT to/within suites. Or, do I need to say that I have received upgrades. I understand that upgrades are not available to those of us who sail in suites, though. bon voyage
  8. That was not the tenor of the question, the question is about currency to tip in when on an European sailing... bon voyage
  9. It does depend on the cask, too.. yet I do understand and I do use ice with the 25, too.... Cheers and bon voyage
  10. Actually, it need not be confusing.... Some of us travel to our cruise port with just a carryon in the cheapest seat offered by an airline. Some of us look at the cheapest cost of the seat plus addons and decide if it is worth it or not. Some of us know that we do not care for all of the 'add-ons' for the cheapest seats and opt for the lowest 'mostly' inclusive fare available at the time we book for minimal up-charges. Some of us know that we do not care for either seat type or service offered in coach on many airlines and opt to upgrade, rather that be full payment, points or ???? Those of us who have paid baggage fees, do so as overall it was the most economical way to get to and fro our destination. If the 'total cost' of any air travel is too costly to/fro certain destination, in your opinion, then you will need to be very, very selective as to when and how you want to travel for cost purposes and that is understandable by many of us as not everyone wants or can afford full fare coach, P(+), Business or FC.... At any rate enjoy and bon voyage
  11. To my way of thinking, based on the response, is wait until you board and then you will know for sure! If there are any issues you will be able to address them there based on 1) what you understand the policy is; or 2) what you want the policy to be, or 3) just go with the flow and not worry about it. Cheers and bon voyage
  12. I always and mean always, pending on the age of the bottle have either one (1) or two (2) cubes of ice in my Macallan's... LOL Cheers and bon voyage
  13. z - I use Macallan as the chaser for my tea.... LOL Cheers and bon voyage
  14. Well, just as long as I can continue to order and receive my Afternoon Tea w/ a Macallan shot at Café Al Bacio on my BP, that is all which matters to me... LOL Cheers and bon voyage
  15. 1) join your sailings Roll Call here on CC; 2) dl the app to see the 'potential menus' on your sailing; 3) after dropping carry on luggage in your cabin, go to Sunset Bar for sail away; and, 4) prepare to have a wonderful time of it all... I Am sure that others will chime in here and provide great input, too... Welcome and bon voyage
  16. I do not get these emails and only realize them when they are posted here.... LOL Which is great as those who choose to get them can spend more time posting about them as opposed to opting out, go wonder. Time to go pack!!! bon voyage
  17. Anything other than TA OBC, website once you log into your CP, will be there... bon voyage
  18. In many instances AI is the most economical, yet to do a comparison, you need to go to X's website and pull up the a la carte daily pricing add it up and compare... Good luck, welcome and bon voyage
  19. I think a check on the app may be in order to order lobster... bon appetit and bon voyage
  20. I Am sorry that the expected cabin categories are not appearing as desired, yet, since it is 'basically' a no charge sailing, I would think it would be fine. Can one bid up for cabins? I do get it, that if one plays a great deal while sailing they would come to expect better cabins and locations... Seeing that the BCC is independent of X, what could BCC do to get more and better cabins for the real high rollers? I will, possibly, become a part of BCC during our next sailing.... bon voyage
  21. wlg - in a few instances, one cannot select seats before the airline receives payment... bon voyage
  22. e68 - I do think that they will be able to make it work without the king size headboard.... bon voyage
  23. t - is that as a guest or occupant??? LOL and bon voyage
  24. h - I did surmize that we did not have all of the information to make informed comments on this thread only on the speculation that the information presented was somewhat accurate, but not fully disclosed if known by the OP or not. bon voyage
