@wsurrette2424 Go to "My NCL" and bring up the cruise, it will tell you what day it is.

As you fly from the USA (California) to the USA (Hawai'i); cruise from the USA (Hawai'i) to the USA (Hawai'i) and then fly from the USA (Hawai'i) to the USA (Hawai'i) you never leave USE territory so it is jut like you travelling within the USA. I do not see why you would need anything for customs or immigration but I am guessing as I live in New Zealand but have travelled a lot and that would be my reading of the situation.

NCL does NOT hold "REAL" sales; they just juggle with the figures so it appears they are offering something different. IT DOESN'T. I am very surprised that the NZ authorities have never taken NCL to court over their "crossed out" prices. I bet the way they use this as advertising is illegal in NZ. Here a "crossed out" price has had to be offered as the actual price "recently"..

On your Confirmation email the information can be found using the shorthand at the top right. Then use the following LATBONUS 1 extra latitudes point per night LATDBLX 2 extra Latitude points per night LATREW* Indicates that you are a latitudes member and to give your tier benefits (This one does not include any extra points above the one per night) LATTITUDE Insider offer code 1 extra latitude point per night LATTITUDES Insider offer code 1 extra latitude point per night

The usual close off time is 9pm on Embarkation Day. They like to talk to people!!! And to remind people of what they offer.!! Even doing it that way doesn't ensure appearance. We went to a WATW event and there were 6 people there. Later I talked with the Future Cruise people and there had been 42 sign ups, 2 cancellations and 34 NO SHOWS.

It seems to be often in the Chinese Restaurant on the Jewel type ships.

None in the MDR for breakfast July/August on the Star or the Prima BUT I believe there was something "like" hash browns in the Garden Cafe on the Star!!

Another annoyance, along the same lines, is that there are no ship to ship tours for those on B2B cruises. What would also be nice would be to offer tours that go ship-airport-ship that would cover both sets of travellers and would, more than likely, get enough custom to have them run.

My way of looking at it On Day 5 your account says you owe $542 On Day 6 you purchase 4 Cruise Next Certificates at $500 each ($2000) so your account now carries the figure of $2542 owed. On Day 7 the Cruise Next team credit your account for purchasing 4 Cruise Next certificates at a discount of $250 each so your account now reads that you owe $1542; ($2542-$1000) That sum is made up of your original debt ($542) and a debt for the FOUR Cruise Next Certificates ($1000). What you have are 4 Cruise Next certificates each worth $500 that, when you have paid off your account, you actually paid $250 for each. I agree that the use of the term "FREE MONEY" should not be allowed but if you think it through it isn't too difficult. I also wish that they would not IMPLY that the "FREE MONEY" has to be spent on OTHER things while on board. You ARE spending it on board by paying off part of the original cost of the Cruise Next Certificates. I have heard one Cruise Next Manager use what I have outlined above to explain to passengers how the "FREE MONEY" tree works.

@julig22 Guessing they won't pull any that have already been offered. I have had at least one pulled while on the ship; too few takers.

@sailingships We just did check in last week and we didnt need to do the photo thingy at all. Theres been a recent change to that dumb frustrating part. Yahoo. Just go to the next item (8) after you do everything but the photo. Great news!! I did wonder why it was necessary as we had to have our photo taken again when checking in at the port the last twice we cruised.

@D_And_K_gocruising If you are checking in online everyone will need to be there as you have to have your photo done

@di T I have done it quite often, especially in the "olden times" when we could BOOK shore excursions and pay for them on board. I used to put on more than needed and then go on the evening before debarkation to pick up the excess.

@fastpitchdad We just did a 10 day cruise in August and did not see the CD a single time. Name him/her so we can agree or disagree.

Please explain the problem with a connecting room. There is a locked "soundproof" door between the two rooms.

@FLAHAM On transatlantic cruises (with many sea days), NCL provides a bridge instructor and director (usually a married couple). Has this been reintroduced? It was missing the last couple of long cruises we have been on.

@FredZiffle Try both of the following SpecialeventsBliss@ncl.com. and groupeventBliss@NCL Include the Sail Date in the subject line of your email. Be clear about what you want, for how long, how many and what days. One or other of those should be able to help, Ask that, if they can't they pass on to someone who can.

@little britain That will be easier as you can get anywhere in Sydney from Circular Quay station quite easily, White Bay is way out of the cantre with no public transport; not even to Balmain

@little britain ,,, turnaround day,,, You don't mention if you are at the Overseas Passenger Terminal or White Bay.

@FlGoodShips BUT I agree that the Latitude level has nothing to do with anything when YOU ASK ; however the response does.

@FlGoodShips Asking for ANYTHING on a cruise has nothing to do with "your Latitude level". I totally agree

We normally find that, Inside, we get a "Tea & Coffee"; in other words it can be used for hot water for tea and with coffee "bags" for coffee. Pod coffee makers, like those that are in Suites, are less likely outside the suites. It will depend on what is available, where you are and how many people have asked before you. (And your Latitude level!!)

@Yesimapirate We must be very fortunate as all cruises except two have been Inside.
