I just completed my first cruise with platinum benefits and did not use the laundry voucher (7-day, Caribbean, no deviation). Does anyone know if I would I be able to use the saved coupon on my next cruise (10-day, European, 2-day deviation prior) in addition to the fresh one I'll receive upon boarding?

The "sensitivity" has been deleted by mods.

I thought the feature is fleet-wide. Perhaps not every monitor, but there are electronic touch screens by most elevators which will allow you to book a reservation. Shows, dining, darts on the Prima, etc.

It's Friday, it was a joke, and not heavily disguised. Lighten up. Do I believe these efforts will succeed - of course not. After seeing so many posts from you I'm most surprised of the offense you in particular are taking. Nevermind then, sorry I entered your sandbox, sorry I didn't see your rules. Snide remarks? What snide remarks?

Not a troll, it just went over your head. I'm advocating a less crowded cruise for myself in July. Jeez. Try reading the responses again.

Sorry, snuck one by you.

Yeah, they should all stop and keep their opinions to themselves until after my cruise.

Spread the word that July 2025 is especially super duper definitely bad. No cookies or hash browns. Extra taxes and gratuities. Minors in their own cabins. Stolen luggage. Guaranteed BOGO air problems. Weather too rough for GSC. Be like the CruiseNext desk and tell 'em anything. I'm trying to make my July 2025 Breakaway cruise less crowded. Anyone pondering about a mid summer cruise (Venice to Barcelona) should really consider Alaska instead. More specifically, July 3, 2025 Breakaway = very, very bad. Any other ship or itinerary, great choice. "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded." - Yogi Berra Like I said, I'll report back after to let you know if people heeded the warnings 😉.

Not sure about March 2025, but July 2025 -- HORRIBLE CHOICE!!! Tell everyone you know already booked or thinking about booking the Breakaway in July 2025 to absolutely stay away. Make up stuff if you have to, make stuff up about the stuff you make up even. I'll report back after to let you know if people heeded the warnings 😉.

pre-board reservations are limited and best times are taken. Additional availability open up aboard.

You can also make reservations from the interactive monitors near the elevators and stairs, just need your keycard to swipe. Reservations can also be made from your cabin TV. Since you may not immediately have access to your cabin, and lines become long on boarding day, your best bet is to do it yourself at one of the touchscreens.

Like on an excursion? If you have a port stop in Trieste, there will very likely be excursions to Venice. If debarking post-cruise, there will definitely be transfers to the Venice airport. But it's rather simple to take the train on your own, read more about how in the Italian ports forum here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/464-italy-ports/

You pay $4k to earn $2k. If you've earned the $2k, it means you've already spent more than enough before the cruise ends. The $2k nonrefundable OBC earned here CAN be applied against the CruiseNext purchases, whereas nonrefundable OBC coming from someplace else (travel agents or shareholder benefit) cannot be used towards CruiseNext purchases.

The NCL price point will suppress the "carnival" atmosphere, most college kids onboard will have their parents onboard.

It's WAY down from the price on Oct 4, 2023, but appears hasn't fluctuated that much. The price history for this trip: 10 day cruise on the Norwegian Getaway (Norwegian) Departs from London (Southampton), Great Britain on Thu Jun 6, 2024 Ends in Barcelona, Spain on Sun Jun 16, 2024
