requested to travel two days early and received my flights the other day.  I already had reserved two nights in a hotel for Friday and Saturday.  The good news is that I have a nonstop flight each way from PHX to MIA.  The bad news is I am on the red eye and arriving Saturday morning at 5 AM.  I departed two days ahead....

This is a bummer because it is technically a one day deviation.  Can you call and challenge it? (From their website, they use arrival - Guests can deviate their travel dates by arriving up to two days prior. ) I’m worried this will happen to me since I’m flying from California. In your shoes, I’d make arrangements to keep the hotel room. You don’t want to wander the city at 6:00 a.m. waiting for a 3:00 p.m. check in.

I booked online and turned it down. I’m alcohol free and I need to stay sharp while traveling. The break even point for the gratuities would be five sodas per day. And it doesn’t include fancy coffee or bottled water.

A la carte for me.

Enjoy the read.

You are epic and a gem and a star! Thank you for the uploads.

I’m assuming everyone is exhausted from all the fun. I would also love hear some reviews of dining, entertainment and port experiences from this early batch of cruisers on Epic. 

$20 a day seems reasonable, especially if your cabin is aft.

How much are they charging this year for the weekly pass the Epic BCN RT itinerary?

Who did you call? The airline? NCL? Side question: was a checked bag included for free?

Sadly, not for the sloth.  It creates extreme stress and anxiety for any sloth.   Read up on it.  Hate to be a Debby downer, but I hate animal cruelty and exploitation and I can’t believe people do this.  

I appreciate your perspective. Thank you for the reminder.

but we are supposed to hold a baby sloth in Roatan, so as long as we make that, I will be ok 😂

 

I didn’t know holding a baby sloth was an option; that sounds amazing!😍

Does this apply? SINGLE OCCUPANCY COVERAGE
The Company will reimburse You for the additional cost incurred during the Trip as a result of a change in the per person occupancy rate for pre-paid Travel Arrangements if a person booked to share accommodations with You has his/her Trip delayed, canceled, or interrupted for a covered reason and You do not cancel. This benefit is subject to the same Maximum Benefit indicated above.

Was this a closed loop? Are there U S passengers without passports aboard?

I’m doing a western med trip on the Epic next fall and purchased the bogo air promo. ( I’ve  accepted the fact that I will be in the back and the middle row of the plane and may be routed through two stops in Canada.) My question is will I be booked basic economy if traveling from So Cal ? If I have to pay $150 to bring anything larger than a backpack, my saving are negated and I can book my own main cabin flight. Please let me know your experiences with NCL and one piece of either checked or carryon luggage. Thank you.
