Studio is the solo room - smaller room but in a solo cruiser area.

I have a studio booked for the Epic transatlantic in April. Am going solo. I have a studio now for $2,800. I only took the wifi as I not do the fancy dining or the drinking. I can buy a sail away inside today for $1,900 (with travel insurance) - big savings. Not sure about sail away - is that a bad to book as no control over the room you get? If I take an inside room where I pick the room - is around $2,300 - still save $500. And I get bigger room. Don't think I care about the studio having their own lounge etc - bigger room must be better right?

Alaska in early Oct 2022 - 1/2 full - only 1,400 passengers.

My very first cruise EVER was on the Norwegian Jewel - 7 days - Vancouver to Alaska and Back - in October 2022. Ship was 1/2 full - 1,400 passengers someone said. The ship was amazing - mostly because the pools were empty (and they were heated to 86 degrees so they were warm) and no lines at all at Buffet. Easy to book specialty dining. Show up at theatre - always a seat. And best part was the Spinnaker Lounge - the views were so amazing - sat in there many hours and just watched the scenery - was like having my own balcony - was never busy. I leave on November 8 on the Getaway - from what I read its a much bigger ship - has no lounge in the front for the views etc. I pick where I go by the itinerary not the ship so I know this will be different. I will like it of course?

You had 9 that went down - did you contact NCL and get the lower prices or you have a PCC does it? And NCL honors CluisePlum - you say you saw it there and they say okay? I have many cruises booked with NCL but am just starting - only my second cruise next week - Did Alaska in early October on the Jewel.

The water taxis and a gondola was my highlight - and eating supper along the water! Place is amazing!

They stream it onto that TV I guess?

For me it is - I paid - if my PCC gets me a better deal okay - otherwise - I was happy at the price when I booked it - I agreed to pay that amount 😃 I sail on the Getaway Nov 8 - I am sure many can buy right now at a lower price but I wanted to do the cruise and now I will.

What are the rules with NCL - I have made final payment - I think its a 4 month window - once final payment is made I can't get the new good price right? So I need to track future cruises I book and if price goes down before final payment I contact them to get it? Do you sometimes even cancel before final payment - lose deposit - then rebook at lower price once its getting ready to embark?

I bought 101 shares so I can get my OBC - are there some rules?

Book next cruise before you get off - helps with leaving
