Thanks for taking the time to write a thorough, well thought out review.

Another example of NCL's business strategy of giving the consumer less for more money.

How is this less? It is a lot more. Yes?

 

Some people were totally “I can’t sail NCL any more” when they removed chicken fingers from the lunch menu and replaced it with poached salmon. I guess that this is a similar case. 

It certainly is less variety. Even us commoners (as you call us) don't want to have the same menu every night.

NCL continuing their policy of giving customers less product for more money.

I think this was typed with a light hearted spirit, I am sure he was just joking.

 

Doubt it based on other posts.

On our cruise, there was no distinction between Haven and commoners when getting in line and checking in for COVID testing at the terminal. Back of the line… and make sure you’re not early was there rule on our cruise. 
 

 

 Commoners?  Wow...aren't you full of self-importance?

Not cancelling because I don't have one booked and have zero plans to book a cruise with this nonsense.  If this is the new normal, then my cruising days are over.

Too many other reliable vacation options for my money.

Just another reason I will not be booking a cruise any time soon.

Too many other options for my vacation dollars.

Reason #842 I'm not booking any cruises for the foreseeable future.  If this is the new normal, then my cruising days are over.

Too many other options for my vacation dollars.

This isn't bill paying, it is initiating a refund. (And even bill paying needs human intervention at some point in the process, even if it is only inputting the invoice into the system.) 

Not 90 days worth of human intervention.  Don't make excuses for poor behavior.

Take the money and run.  NCL may not be in business by the end of the year.

Then you'll get nothing.

Like Steve Miller sang "Take the money and run"

Unfortunately there was an incident there Friday.

 

Apparently some of the dinner guests ended up testing positive.

 

Dreadful, dreadful shame.  

Forget it.

You'd be surprised how many do.

I'm too busy having fun on my cruise to perform an inventory of leftover food on other passengers' plates.

The large ships tend to do the 7 day routes.  Take a look at the repo cruises.  For example, I'm booked on an 11 day repo cruise on the Getaway in January 2021. We start in New York and end in Miami.  It a great itinerary hitting the ABC islands.

Nice write-up...fair and balanced. Thanks for taking the time to write a review.  

For me, it is definitely worth it.  But I like to stay connected to the outside world.  Some people want to completely to unplug.

It really depends.  Just remember the unlimited can be shared by everyone in the same cabin.   But just one person at a time.

Honestly, you probably just should cancel even if you lose your payment.  If you believe the bed situation doomed your whole vacation, you will be looking for ways to be upset the rest of the way.  Now one bad meal turns into not a single edible item on the ship or one bad staff interaction turns into the most unfriendly staff you have had on a cruise ship.  

OMG...talk about jumping to conclusions.

Sheesh!

For as much time and money it takes to achieve Ambassador level, NCL could do better.

As my grandmother used to say "the juice ain't worth the squeeze"

They will probably make it through without notice. But, the ship has lots of chocolate. And the ship has lots of liquor. Leave you goodies at home. 

The ship has shampoo and body wash on but I bet you bring your own.  Practice what you preach.

I went to Cagney's on the Getaway last November and my filet mignon was cooked perfect.  

The lobster bisque not so much.  They must have changed the recipe as I have loved it on previous dinners at Cagney's

It’s food for the kids. Along with hot dogs and hamburgers. 

That comment has nothing to do with the quality of pizza but hey at least you padded your post count.  

Well done.
