I believe the upgrade pre-cruise accounts for trading in the FAS minutes. I have. This was day 2 of a 15-day cruise. The $145 is the value of the 300 minutes FAS package.
-
because you asked them to? It was, the coupon name was literally "10% off coupon - Latitudes cruise, Norwegian Bliss, September 28, 2024". I can tell by that name that the coupon is for the designated Latitudes cruise on the Bliss on September 28, 2024, I don't need to call to ask if I can use it for a different cruise as it's specifically for that one cruise.

I don't log in until I'm ready to click to book, or manage a cruise. All my 'window shopping' is done while NOT logged in and I never get a call.

I'll add another - there needs to be a cabin available in the category in order to get a price drop. They need something to compare it to. You can't have a regular balcony cabin, see that a large balcony balcony cabin now has a lower price and try to get a price drop if there are no regular balcony cabins available to compare the price to.

Pride of America technical Problem in Hilo
hallux replied to Nikita4's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
That's your choice to not avail yourself of all of the credits given as a result of this issue, not NCL's... -
This wasn't simply checking price and availability - the OP was asking about applying a coupon in their account to the cruise, they needed to put a courtesy hold to also try applying the coupon. However - they didn't need to even do that at the coupon name (as I put in the screenshot) indicates exactly which cruise it applies to.

No kidding. I got done loading the bag and thought to myself 'huh, what's the problem people usually have?'...

Joy 2024 Dry dock/refurbishment - What was done?
hallux replied to tedbearz's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You can see that when you look at the deck plans -
Thanks, I was quite proud of it based on stories from here! I didn't even use a supplemental garbage bag to help! haha
-
It's half off that $35 - $17.50.

I did a 15-day and only got the offer once. No, @dmwnc1959, the basket is not a souvenir...

Pride of America technical Problem in Hilo
hallux replied to Nikita4's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Ships are machines, they are not infallible. Breakdowns are not unheard of for ANY machine. -
I believe the bag is folded in half (the fold is at the top). This picture is from Feb., before the price increase. I fit 9 boxers, 6 t-shirts (including one long-sleeve), 4 polos, a pair of slacks, a pair of cargo shorts and 9 pair of socks in the bag. I wear XXL t-shirts. I cropped the pic, I figured you didn't need to see the entirety of my shorts...

It sure does

They probably did a mock booking in your name to see if the coupon could be applied. That's what you saw. They had to do it in your name as the coupon was in your account. By the way - that's the Latitudes cruise this year. Yes, that coupon is listed as only valid for that sail date so it couldn't have been used elsewhere. I'm not sure why someone would think a coupon named as pictured would be applicable to some other cruise, the sailing date is right there. I don't see this as 'marketing', it was simply something the agent needed to do in order to satisfy your (unnecessary, IMO) inquiry.
-
Rumor is that they were installing the hardware during my cruise Jan 27-Feb. 11. Just because the ship has Starlink doesn't mean they won't still throttle it as it passes through the on-board proxy servers.
-
There's usually a 'fill the bag' laundry special halfway through the trip, $35 for the bag (up from $30). Alternately, there are per-item prices listed on the sheet you fill out when you send it out. Gold level Latitudes members get that fill the bag special for half price, Platinum and above get it free.

Why is cruising the best type of vacation ?
hallux replied to lenquixote66's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Agreed - I got to spend 8 hours in Acapulco this year. Seems short, right? However, it was only the second cruise ship visit since their hurricane in October, there was still a LOT of destruction evident, so getting to see that while contributing to their economy was VERY meaningful, and many of the hotels were damaged so tourism was nonexistent except for cruises stopping there. Oh, I also got to release a baby sea turtle to the ocean. VERY memorable port stop! -
$50 excursion credit - Port Stop cancelled
hallux replied to tedbearz's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Just be aware that the excursion refund is handled in an odd fashion if you pre-paid - they will refund the FULL cost of the excursion then the next day they will 'claw back' the $50 excursion credit that you got when you pre-booked the excursion. -

Why is cruising the best type of vacation ?
hallux replied to lenquixote66's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Financially - it makes sense to me. I spent 10 days in Colorado, just outside Denver, for work. My expense report for those 10 days was over $3,000 and that was flights, hotel, meals and car rental. NO entertainment or activities. I did a 15-night Panama Canal cruise for about the same cost, including a night pre-cruise and a night post-cruise in hotels. The cruise was all meals, entertainment, activities, etc. Plus I got to see one of the great engineering marvels of the 20th century AND contribute to the tourism restart in Acapulco after the powerful hurricane they experienced in October (only the second cruise call there since then). I also like that I can unpack once and see several different places.
