You took 9 cruises for $6000? Please tell the rest of us how to do that!

Why don't you tell us the date and cabin so we can check the plumb tracking for ourselves?

Perhaps, but there's an eighty one percent chance that mine will be the only poison control magnet. Even if there is only one other, I have a fifty percent chance of finding my cabin. Those odds are better than anything in the casino.

I think we have a poison control center magnet on our refrigerator. I'll probably bring that so that I can find my room. I doubt that there will be more than one or two other cruisers using the same magnet.

Cruise Plum is a great thing, but largely ignored by the masses. Upon checking the plum today, I observed an across the board REAL NCL price drop. No, this isn't the latest promo thing that fools many fine cruisers. I eventually called NCL and repriced ten cruises and my total costs went down $523.30. The reductions ranged from $38.40 to $100.42. I'll leave it to the smart kids to figure out what that meant for my average future NCL booking. 🤣 Huge? No. Worth the hour or so I spent on it? Absolutely. It really only would have taken about twenty minutes if I didn't mock book every cruise to confirm a price reduction. That would be like making $1569.90 an hour. Not bad for a lazy afternoon of dreaming about future NCL cruises. 😎 Now I need to work on DD's future cruises with us. Yes, at times, @ChiefMateJRKis a good father.😏 Like it or not, I know of at least one lucky cruiser who is about to meet the whole @ChiefMateJRK"crew." Yes, you know who you are.👩‍🎓

It might be easier to just take the ice bucket to the buffet or OL in the evening to get your own.

Exactly.

Yeah. I'm guessing it was one idiot (who hadn't had a drink, drunks are happier people on cruise ships) who just couldn't help himself (or herself). This is a really bizarre thread. Not a single poster other than the OP has reported ever observing such idiotic behavior. I have no problem believing that one goofball could do this, but a "crowd?" No way. Yes, I realize that the OP didn't say "crowd," but it seemed to be implied. I tried re-reading the OP and it again gave me a headache.🤕

Yes. This is what I described, and I don't always receive the amenity email. The other poster was talking about receiving an updated cruise invoice showing promo codes. I've seen those, but only when I've received them for something else (like a reprice).

This is funny because you said "knuckleheads," a term I use often. Likely goes back to watching too much three stooges when I was very young (and later).🤡 disclaimer: there is no such thing as "too much" three stooges😎

I've received the shareholder OBC many times. You are correct that it will show up on any invoices sent to me after it is applied. That said, when they apply it I usually just receive an email confirmation and less frequently also receive an email with an amenity confirmation. I don't believe that they have ever sent me an updated invoice just because they applied the shareholder OBC.

Yeah, but I really wasn't that interested in learning more about it. I was mostly just stating a fact. This unlike some others who tell people things that they already know.

How many people was it that "rushed over to tell the other ship that they sucked?" I just can't see this happening.

???? I don't even know what that is.

LOL. If only there were a place where folks like us could congregate and enjoy each other's unbridled humor. Hmmm.... What would that be like?? 😎 @ggTexasGal would fit in great! 🤣 (jk)

Good to know! That said, I'm guessing that the aforementioned DW would not allow me such fun.😿

A reasonable plan, but magnets can be moved to nearby doors by fun loving folks who have also had a couple of drinks. I just bring DW on every cruise and she makes certain that I find my way back from the bar. 😎 disclaimer: I've never moved somebody's magnet to the best of my recollection.🤣

Very nice!!! I can't WAIT to be back on a ship in a few weeks to find out in person. IIRC, on the Bliss in April they could be found in exactly one location in that huge buffet. They used to be all over the place.

Hey!! I resemble that remark. 😡

Maybe it would have been better if I had hit the bar before the show? disclaimer: I probably spent meaningful time at the bar prior to the show 😎 (I don't want to be "ratted out" by @graphicguy, since he was on the same sailing🤣)

You botched the quote there, but no harm. I have a totally inflexible attitude. I'm going to be comfortable on my holiday and nobody is going to make me wear pants, shoes, etc. Sweats and slippers gets me into any venue on the ship. That said, NCL meets my needs just fine, so that's why I sail on NCL.😎

I can't wait to get on the ship and generally don't leave until they kick my sorry butt off the ship. In July, we hung in a bar area until about 9:40 when they actually started naming names. No lines at all to exit and depart the terminal. We've sailed from at least five different US ports and I can't remember a single time that anybody asked to see my port arrival time.

Enduring SIX caused me physical pain. Fortunately, the bar provided the needed remedy. As long as they don't cancel the bar, I'm good. 😎🐀

Isn't "not wearing pants for dinner and not partaking in cruise ritual(?!)" part of enjoying every moment?
