There may be something here - https://www.ncl.com/onboard-packages

The promo comes and goes. Only TA's and NCL employees may have info on when it's due to start again.

and I'm guessing that if you do as @Anoynmous Phoenix suggests they will ask what the date is, the rest they can discover on that date. When you get a table at ANY restaurant they swipe at least one room key, they know where you are...

Log in to your account on the BofA website and you can find the redemption there. There's probably more info in the sticky thread regarding the card.

If you're going to log in to check balances you may as well do any other financial transactions, you've already opened the door...

I paid $205 net on the second day of a 15 day cruise in January. It was $350 with a $145 credit for my 300 minutes from Free At Sea. Another 2 days would be $410 and then the credit for the FAS minutes. Here is my thought on buying internet on embarkation day - you're paying full price for 7 hours of internet access. You typically don't sail out of range (as long as you're outside) until 5 or 6 PM) and most people don't need it while they sleep, upgrade when you wake up on day 2 and save that $30 or so.

A valid concern. I was in one of these cabins on the Bliss in January (booked before the additional Solo categories were announced). I spent 15 nights dealing with those beds!!! I never thought to ask to have the bed moved to one side of the cabin. It wouldn't have changed the horrible design of the closet...

Anyone that read the entire thread before responding would see it was resolved 4 days ago...

I could have the French Onion soup in the MDR every day, no problems. Have it at Cagney's or Le Bistro and I have some digestive issues, worse at Le Bistro. So, yes, there IS a difference. Maybe it's a different cheese? I think some mass-production kitchens will use Swiss or a cheaper cheese on top, while traditionally I think it'll have Gruyere so maybe it's that cheese I have an issue with. No, the issues are not onset of Norovirus, it lasts one round and then done, and it's happened on multiple cruises after having that soup at those specialty venues.

Some want wine in their cabin.

It's almost like NCL wants people to know about it... 🤷‍♂️

Not the Premium Plus package - https://www.ncl.com/onboard-packages/beverage-packages

Doubtful, it's more likely just an IT glitch as has been known to happen from time to time.

If you upgraded before final payment you can request the fare difference in FCC. But you get ONE chance, be sure you're absolutely happy with the final fare you're paying...

The return date is wrong, just try tomorrow.

Did you like the price of the cruise when you booked? I'm guessing you wouldn't want NCL coming to you and asking for more money because the prices of cabins went up, would you? As others said - you can get compensation for a price drop, but only if more than 14 days from the sail date. You missed your chance.

Don't the Breakaway and Getaway have bars? The pics on the deck plans page seem to show something like that. I know the BA+ (Bliss, Encore, Escape) don't.

Keep in mind that on embarkation day you're in port until around 5 typically, sometimes later. That means you'll have cellular if you NEED to get online. That also means you're paying the full day price for 7 hours or less of access. By the time midnight rolls around most people are BEAT from travel and exploring the ship, so you really won't need the upgrade until you get up on the first morning at the earliest. If I upgrade (I have on my last 2 cruises) I do it the day after embarkation day.

These folks in this previous thread have some thoughts -

When I was on the Escape a couple years ago the songs requested the most were probably Sweet Caroline and Don't Stop Believin' Oh, I believe one of the cast members actually commented that Sweet Caroline is THE most requested song and is the song she hates playing the most. I was blown away by the talent among those four, everyone did everything - piano, guitar, drums, singing and having a personality. I followed one of the cast members on SM, though I don't live in the area where she normally plays.

Now that the chief has weighed in, I'll just sit here with my 🍿 and see what other 🤡 thinks the policies don't apply to them.

I visit and participate in that subreddit, I would make the same comments there that I make/made here...

It's covered in the T&C of the promo - https://www.ncl.com/about/terms-and-conditions/promotions Specifically - Deviation requests up to 2 days pre/post cruise will be credited $25 USD per person per deviation for guests 1 and 3-8 on the reservation. No other deviation requests will be permitted. Date deviations can be added up to 110 days prior to embarkation.

@PaperSniper4 this was the first result when I did a Google search on your question - https://uswatersystems.com/pages/deionized-water-vs-distilled-water#:~:text=Deionized (DI) water is water,methods for creating pure water.

First off - if you get off the ship on an excursion the ship hasn't skipped the port, so that part of your hypothetical is out the window. If the port is skipped before you get off the ship then you'll get your money back for the missed excursion IF you booked it through the cruise line. Second - if you're on a ship-sponsored 'explore on your own' excursion where you've been transported somewhere in the port city and given a time to be back for the bus to pick you up but the ship needs to leave early for weather concerns then the cruise line usually WILL get you to the next port, or make every effort to do so. Take, for example, the couples earlier this year that did their own excursion in an African country but returned late, after the ship left. They were advised they could re-board at a later port stop if they could make their own way there. The ship then had to skip that port stop due to weather or safety concerns so NCL picked up the bill (either because they were shamed into it or because it was the right thing to do due to the ship having to skip the port) for them to get to the NEXT port, but still not for travel to the skipped port. The first leg of travel was still the passenger's responsibility because they chose to leave the ship on their own excursion. This situation is different from yours, though, in that it was all still the same cruise so they were still passengers on that trip. You checked out of your cabin, closed out your account and left the ship from the first cruise. You were no longer a passenger on NCL, not until you stepped back on the ship. So... let me ask you this. Weather cancellations for port stops are usually, as noted by others, same-day or day-before decisions. You find out through this new email/texting policy that the ship is skipping the port you're in. What do you do? CAN you book a last-minute flight (a same-day one, even) to the next port on the itinerary? Say you can, what if they decide they need to skip THAT one? Are you going to book endless flights between ports until you can board? Somehow I have a feeling that in the part of the world where this happened to you there was not going to be a whole lot you could do to meet up with the ship even if you WERE notified of the skipped port once the decision was made. As someone that used to work in the industry (for NCL even) noted - it was an ALLOWED downline embarkation. That still carries the risk of the port where you want to embark being skipped. By the way - Royal Caribbean won't allow this AT ALL. Their policy, per the blog post I found, changed in 2021, but prior to that they discouraged the practice for the exact reason of the possible last-minute itinerary changes causing the ship to miss the port the passenger wants to board at! https://www.royalcaribbean.com/faq/questions/different-departure-port-city
