Thanks! Looking forward to giving this a try!

I'm more looking forward to the hand-scooped ice cream station. For DW, it's probably the soft serve.

We actually got it "per excursion". We are doing two excursions in one port on our upcoming trip and received the credit on both of them for the first person.

14 days until first NCL cruise

Here's the sample menu currently posted by NCL: https://www.ncl.com/sites/default/files/Pincho_Tapas_Bar_Mobile-Menu.pdf I'm looking forward to trying it in a few weeks when we are on the Escape.

The excursion credit was applied before we paid for the excursion online, so we were never out-of-pocket for the $50/excursion.

What things should we have on hand or done in advance to make the electronic check-in process go smoother? I have heard that we need pictures. What are the constraints for acceptability of the digital images? File size? Particular, facial features? No glasses? TIA

We decided to pick up the Free at Sea Plus offer. I can confirm the automatic crediting. We had four excursions booked prior to the FAS+. We received a credit to the credit card used to purchase the excursion for the 2nd person for each of the four excursions. The credits appears about six days after the FAS+ purchase.

I'll be keeping an eye out later this month as well as we are on this itinerary in early December...

We booked a December cruise on the Escape well after the 120 day window and are finding limited to no available reservations for particular restaurants. Where do you go on embarkation day to make reservations? Same question relative to onboard shows? Can we do so via the NCL App on that day? TIA

I submitted it midday yesterday and got the response this morning.

I just got a confirmation email indicating my shareholder benefit request was accepted. So, 7-day cruise should be $100 OBC. A second email included an amenity invoice. Since this is the first amenity invoice I've seen, I'm trying to figure out if the OBC I'm seeing on it is from the travel agent or the shareholder benefit. I'm seeing an OBC of $50 with code TG50 posted on each of passengers 1 and 2. Does this sound like the usual way this OBC is added? TIA

Looking forward to your continuing saga. We'll be on the Encore in May.

If you purchase the Free at Sea Plus bundle after purchasing excursion, does the excursion credit for guest #2 apply retroactively? If so, how would be credited the retroactive discount? Back to the credit card used for the excursion? Onboard Credit (hopefully refundable if so)? TIA

Any idea what's acceptable as a current brokerage statement to support the request? Will they accept a holding report generated from the broker's web site? I've got a new brokerage account with the shares in it, and we sail in early December. I'm unsure whether they generate formal reports monthly or quarterly. I can't seem to get a definitive answer on this as the online information indicate that some accounts have monthly and some have quarterly without being specific about which account types...🤷‍♂️ I'll call next week to check, but I wanted to ask to develop a plan B. Thanks!

Thanks for sharing! We are scheduled on the Encore to Alaska in May, and your reviews are giving us some insights for our planning.

@BirdTravels Thanks for sharing the menus and pictures!

Thanks for posting! We are on this itinerary next May and doing our research at the moment.
