I don’t see anything wrong with what you were told. It sounds like you both had a relatively mild case - symptom onset was absolutely horrible horrible timing, though you most likely “got Covid” before ever boarding - and did the responsible thing by self-quarantining. There’s really nothing NCL could have done for you more than you already did for yourself and they were completely transparent regarding the costs so they were trying to do the right thing by you in that sense. If you really felt you needed to go to medical, you still could have. And you would have been triaged, waited forever then and billed heavily same as if you had an ER visit on land.

Any rum drinkers on this thread? My drink of choice is rum and Diet Coke. Preferably Mount Gay, which sadly isn’t part of the offerings. It is a golden rum. What would be a suitable substitute? I’ll save the white and spiced rums for the umbrella drinks.

Thank you for this! Yes, the plan would be to use every day. 😁

My friend and I opted for the larger balcony (deck 8 forward) for our Alaskan cruise as we plan on spending quite a bit of time out on it. 😄

Thanks, everyone! I’ve got VZW and will just plan on reaching out with to my fam while in ports. 😁

Can anyone advise the quality of cell service they had while in Alaskan ports? Trying to figure out if I want/need to upgrade to unlimited (non-streaming) package. And before anyone says anything about not keeping my head stuck in my phone/computer while cruising, I’m vacationing with a friend and leaving my husband and teens back home. Awesome for me but I’d still like to be able to keep in touch fairly regularly. 😉

Interesting. I noted water listed in the various promos when I received our notification for final payment for our September cruise (booked last September). I thought maybe it was something our TA added in. Who knew?!

My best friend and I are going on this same cruise in September so I appreciate the review. What kind of cabin did you have? We booked a balcony room so we would have our own designated space for Glacier Bay. Hoping that is sufficient! Is there any kind of entertainment in the evening other than Choir of Man or the lounge acts? Not the first cruise for either of us, but first on NCL (several on Royal and Carnival) so we’re used to having some sort of evening show. You mentioned a spa pass… Curious about pricing as that is something I am quite interested in and there’s no pricing on my app as of right now. How long did it take you to disembark in Seattle? We arranged/purchased our own flights as we live in 2 different cities and are both flying in day before but my flight is out at 1:40pm on Sunday. Hoping that is enough time! Finally, happy anniversary!!

Thank you for your thorough review! Add me to the list of September Alaskan cruisers - will be me and my bestie, sans spouses and children. First time on NCL for both of us. We’re nearing our window for restaurant reservations and this helps considerably. We are, in fact, booked in club balcony suite (or whatever it’s called) but we have no grandiose illusions. We just wanted the bigger bathroom. 😆

Thank you for this! It never would have crossed my mind that a service like this exists. 🙂
