My alltime favorite happened on a Disney Cruise. A guy in the elevator was grumbling about all the gol darn kids. I was silently laughing hysterically.

I share your opinion of Jaques. It's my least favorite restaurant. Overprepared bland food.

On our Marina cruise starting next Sunday no La Reserve dinners offered. Don't know if there will be any available on board.

Was trying to book online. Thanks for tip.

That's interesting as my cruise last year and upcoming cruise in April is not allowing pre-booking.

Speculation on my part. Was the "glitch" allowing prebooking of passes? Resulting in all prebooked passes canceled. If so OP would have a good chance of booking on board.

No

Time line of our E-Visa Saga: 1) Dec. 2 Applied for E-Visa's My wife and I. 2) Dec. 4 Received email requesting 60 days of bank statement with 2K minimum. Uploaded new docs. Realized the statement did not have either of our names on it, but Brazil and VFS accepted it. Go figure.... 3) Dec. 5 Received QC complete email and notice documents sent to Brazil Authorities 4) Dec. 16 Sent email to VFS help desk. 5) Dec. 28 Received email asking to reupload pictures. I was expecting this as my original pictures were not 2" x 2". VFS had accepted them for some unknown reason. The pictures were to be attached to a reply to that email, not on the website. 6) Dec. 29 Received notice our new pictures were received and sent to Brazil Govt. 7) Dec. 30 Received response from Dec. 16 inquiry stating meaning of status. No Help 😎 Jan. 2 Received E-Visa. Logged into website showing approved and visa was available to download on the website. Have not received email yet with "visa attached" but have them in hand.

Most of the cruises are 10 to 25 percent off. I was curious which were 50% off. Found the ones sailing from Dubai to Barcelona that went thru the suez canal and red sea in may 2024 were 50% off. Do I feel lucky(no)...

Links in the emails don't work. You'll need to go to the vfs website and click on the staus link there.

I wouldn't be too concerned. They will likely find other things to also require resubmission.

Now that's just funny.(and sad too)

I haven't heard of anyone experiencing this but did read on some guide(don't remember where) you may need to stick cotton balls behind your ears to make them visible.

Yes I received the credit on the summer sale.

Direct . It shows as gift on my invoice.

Interesting as it's on my invoice but doesn't show on this page.

Always applied within 24 hours but it does not show up on the website. It shows up on the invoice if you have them email you a new one. Also generally no email. Never had a problem.

Thanks that is encouraging.

I have only seen applications submitted on Dec. 2 without errors that have received their E-Visa's. Have you noticed anyone else being issued an E-Visa? I submitted mine on Dec. 3., made correction and received email on Dec. 4 advancing to Under Check status on the 5th. Now in Under Check status since the 5th.

This is far from alaska but my Prima Caribean 11 day cruise that only stops at 4 ports the fees are $475.38 each.

Upgrade offers begin to occur around the 80 day mark plus or minus. There are three ways I have experienced. You may receive an email. The homepage when you login to your account will have a banner to click on to upgrade. Finally you can enter you info into this site to check:https://upgrade.plusgrade.com/offer/NCL/

They aren't shutting down the La Reserve dinner but moving it to Privee. So yes the space will be redone into Aquamar. I don't think they'll move it to Privee before the remodel but they might. https://www.oceaniacruises.com/oceania-experience/post/marina/new-features-coming-may-2024-marinas-refurbishment

Apparently the menu's for LaReserve are changing. This according to an Oceania rep. As a result I cannot book for my Jan. 21st sailing on the Marina. Anyone have info or updates they can share?

Seems this thread is strictly about arguing for arguement's sake. If NCL had to provide a legal document for banned items it would be at least 10,000 pages long to satisfy comments here.
