  1. I suppose it shows more cabins booked, a good fiscal sign, and with less cabins available they won't need to drop prices as much, or as often, or if at all. It all comes home to roost when the cancellations start rolling in. Roll of the dice.
  2. I use PCC's, so I don't know much about TA's. Can a TA reprice you on the spot with an email confirmation as you speak?
  3. If there's one thing I've surmised about the Bird -- it's that she's loving this....
  4. Can you copy and paste the wording of the denial? This doesn't sound right.
  5. C'mon Bird. You know this was simply an opportunistic move by NCL on the Joy. They simply returned the ship to its original configuration when it was built for the SE Asia market -- probably because all the infrastructure was still there, and it was a relatively simple exercise. There is no way this will happen to Encore and Bliss. You know better.
  6. Clearly you are mistaken. They are, in general, 90% positive of any cruise line they sail. That's kind if why they cruise. What's crazy is that you assume I am "so upset". Why would you think that based on my post?
  7. Yes, and there's another crazy guy I've watched that's specifically NCL, but he's pretty new, not quite up to what it takes, and is a bit of strain to watch. Still, the term "cheerleader" is a bit over the top, and not all what I've seen.
  8. I watch a lot of cruise vloggers. A lot. I have yet to see one "NCL cheerleader". Quite the opposite in my experience. I guess I'm just missing those.
  9. What "protocols" out of Sydney are you asking about? The only restriction I see is for Australia is regarding Tasmania.
  10. Literally 4 threads below this (well, not now 😄), is a thread that has "Live from Getaway" in the title.
  11. I'm going to go ahead and tag this early for the understatement of October. Best wishes to OP and family, but this doesn't look promising.
  12. That can be true, some venues are louder than others. For us, it matters what type of music is being played, and whether we want conversation. 😄
  13. Give me a decent band in a bar, and I'm good for the night. Other than Choir of Man (where I watch the band above most of the time), Broadway type shows are take it or leave it for me. I just don't understand why it is so important to people, considering the bigger picture. What are we talking? An hour, a couple times, out of a week?
  14. Yeah, that is always a possibility with anyone who coughs or sneezes stuff out of their head. Sick or not at the time. In any case, it's the world we live in, and at least I cover my cough completely -- unlike many, many others I've witnessed.
  15. To nearly everyone but you, it would see. See, answering questions is easy. Give it a shot.
  16. Got it. I was confusing HAL with Royal. There is an area next to the Crow's Nest on Volendam and Zaandam, but that wouldn't affect cabins either.
  17. Pretty sure we're talking about the smoking area on the promenade. Or am I confused?
  18. Based on what I've heard, not experienced, it's the cabins above, and behind the smoking areas that occasionally have a problem. Haven't heard anything about cabins below. Others may have heard or experienced differently.
  19. That's a true Iowa girl, right there. Grinding out $50 on a $10,000+ cruise. I love it.
  20. I get it. And I also look sideways at any person around me who coughs. However, I do have smoker's cough. It's not at all contagious, and I cover it thoroughly, but omg, some of the looks I get. It's like people just saw the Grim Reaper.
  21. I would really like a few more details. Ship? Date? Time? Capacity on board? Your experience is not the norm on a full ship between 6-8 pm.
  22. Lol. $200. I can get 15 overpriced drinks at the airport for that! 😆
  23. Again, I would suggest you have your room steward explain it to you. He/she can certainly tell you what happens when you remove the gratuity/DSC.
