? re: Latitudes laundry coupons
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to herbanrenewal's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
When you do the first bag put your name on the bag with Latitude level and on the second the other person in the cabin each week/fortnight. If there is only one in the cabin talk nicely to the steward!! -
If you see a lower price than you paid you should do a mock booking. You will OFTEN find that the cheaper price is for a SAILAWAY cabin, the old Guarantee, with fewer perks.

Best ports to see wildlife/ scenery in NZ
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to luckybecky's topic in Australia & New Zealand
@luckybecky My reading is that you want to see "wildlife" and scenery from the ports your ship will visit at an inexpensive price. Sorry "no can do"! Tours that would give you what you are looking for would be LONG days and VERY expensive. Use the cruise to see the cities and come back to do a land tour to see what you "need" -
@BirdTravels Not when you need a wake-up call for early Shorex!! VBG

Both cabin stewards know you are changing and, between them, they will make the arrangements between themselves and with you. Get a new room key, go ashore and enjoy Tahiti. You will have an "In Transit" sticker which you should wear when you go back from your outing to ensure you miss check-in and go directly to Security. Find a shore staff member to make sure that happens. Wear it onboard so the crew don't "hassle" you but newcomers can ask for help!!

@yakcruiser No need to carry a clock. They will do a manual call from Guest Services if you ask, especially if they can't get your phone to work for you. Not only that but we got a room change when they couldn't get our phone to work after 3 days.

Hamilton from Auckland without renting a car
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to loveapug's topic in Australia & New Zealand
If you look here you will see that return in that direction is not possible on the same day. https://www.tehuiatrain.co.nz/timetables/ For the Inter-city Bus look at https://www.intercity.co.nz/north-island-buses/bus-auckland-to-hamilton Whichever I would suggest a taxi to get to and from the Gardens. -
Which itinerary might be better?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to bigsky's topic in Australia & New Zealand
Remember that, like many seas, the Tasman Sea can be very rough. If you really want to see the NZ Sounds you might find it better to do the Tasman twice!! Double the chances of getting in!! -
I think that you get a few days to make bookings BEFORE they are opened up to everyone else. If you ever have any trouble getting any bookings see the Haven Concierge.

Australia and New Zealand $$$
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to Seafan22's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@bluesea777 We did the ill-fated Dubai-Cape Town cruise before Covid hit on the Spirit and really enjoyed the ship, the passengers and the crew so are hoping for the same this time. As long as the senior officers are different!!!!!!! -
Australia and New Zealand $$$
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to Seafan22's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@sanger727 Australia is too large for it to be efficient to be seen by cruise. I agree totally but the Princess "Round Australia" cruise is a real starter to see so many places and then you decide where to go on a second and third visit.. It is a pity that NCL do not do the same thing. That cruise gets booked out VERY quickly. -
Australia and New Zealand $$$
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to Seafan22's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
As a New Zealander we have had Transtasman cruises booked and cancelled for 3 years. January 2024 we are doing NZ-Aus-NZ; two cruises on the Spirit. Looking forward to visiting all the ports twice. -
Australia and New Zealand $$$
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to Seafan22's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
@Seafan22 My plan is to do four days in Australia touring around, then take the cruise over to Auckland and then stay there for another three days. Please don't think that you will see anything of Australia in 4 days or New Zealand in 3 days. You will hardly get out of Sydney or Auckland. If you want to VISIT Australia or New Zealand turn the DAYS into WEEKS and then double them. -
Any NCL Ambassador members on Cruise Critic?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to chloemonkey's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
In answer to the question posed; both my wife and I are Ambassadors. We didn't start cruising till we were 70 and it took 10 years including two Covid years with no cruising. We have 6 cruises booked followed by our two "free" ones. So still going strong. -
Shore Excursion Credit for 1St person only?
Anoynmous Phoenix replied to smellywax's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
I agree that it isn't allowed. I also agree that I have never heard of anyone being "picked up" for doing what you suggest. BUT, like most things, "you pays your money and takes your chance!! You are more likely to "get away" with it if the person donating the ticket is the same gender as the person receiving it!! -
@natefish95 ... (on my most recent NCL Jewel cruise, there were no comedy shoes). You couldn't have had the right Cruise Director then!!! Most of them wear Comedy Shoes for the effect. Their clothes can be very funny too.

@AndyCapn ... buffet and lunch and MDR for dinner on Embarkation Day. There are two reasons that the buffet, at lunchtime on Embarkation Day, is so crowded is because the staff only tell embarkees that that is the place to eat and that only old hands know that there is an MDR open.

@NC_Cruisin The Jewel tends to spend about 5-6 months from October to March based in Japan so there are gaps still to be filled in for 2024-2025. The Jewel usually leaves Japan late March/ early April to return to do Alaska so when that cruise appears you know when the Jewels time in Japan will end. It does return to Japan from Alaska cruises in October so there will be more cruises from October 2025 I would imagine.
