  1. No, they are codes that are applied to your booking based on current deals/promotions. I created the list so cruisers could understand what the details are on there particular booking.
  2. If you are checking flights to the west coast, both SW and Hawaiian also fly direct to San Jose and Oakland
  3. Our favorite island is Kauai, so much to do and see Kauai. Have done, and recommend,any of these: - The Luau is a great choice, you will love it - Directors Cut tour - Helicopter, the best and only way to see most of the Island, used Blue Hawaiian - Waimea Canyon is beautiful, NCL excursion was/is Journey to Waimea Canyon - Back Country tubing tour - uber/taxi/rental car - Zip Lining - Kauai coffee Plantation visit - uber/taxi/rental car
  4. @LadyBerard TA's sometimes have additional offres that are shown as "VIP". These can give you additional benefits on board. Perhaps this is the case for you. Could be anyting from wine to strawberries to an extra specialty dining. Are there any codes on your confirmation? Might show as something like VIPMIA1.
  5. Have not seen it before. Only a couple of codes with FS and they include some type of "free benefit". If you see anything on future documents please let us know.
  6. It was originally mentioned by @2Cruise4Ever, perhaps they will let us know if they had any data on their eDocs.
  7. @jds2001 Yes the LATITUDE code means 1 extra point per night.
  8. Ask your TA to send you a copy of the NCL Guest confirmation - in the upper right corner it will show something similar to this:
  9. @Andros The "FCC-25" portion is future cruise creidt of 25% off. Not sure what the "RE" stands for. Thats great that you were able to get such a good offer. When you get your e-docs if they show a code description, please let me know and I will update the list.
  10. Great choice. Was in that suite in February.
  11. I recieved the $200 off on my Platinum card.

  13. I have always recieved the benefit from NCL and Oceania. In the case of Oceania I have booked during a sale through a travel agent and still received the shareholder OBC. Have also received shareholder OBC on Princess (Carnival Stock). In all cases it was easy to apply for and recieved comfirmation, or was able to see it in cruise status, promptly. I would not pruchase cruise stocks for an investment, but it is a great benefit for frequent cruisers.
  14. Have been in both Haven and non Haven suites on Jewell-class ships. I do not feel the Haven on these ships is worth the increased cost. Although the corner Owners suites on deck 9 and 10 are absolutely awesome for the Panama Canal as they have both a forward and side balcony. We did this on the Jewell through the canal, and rarely went into the Haven area during that cruise. As Lazlo it is just a small courtyard and a Sundeck.
  15. Just off the Jade, cookies were very difficult to come by. Asked the Food adn Beverage Director and was told that Miami has instructed them not to serve them in the buffet or restaurants. Was in a suite, and the butler said that they are very difficult to get anywhere on the ship. He did manage to bring them to us twice on an 11 day cruise.
  16. @Wanderlust83 My notes show that VIPMIA1 likely gives you 1 free specialty meal, and that WTHPPG is World Travel Holdings Prepaid Gratuities.
  17. @nhtravels 12322 and 12926 are the ones without the seperate bedroom. Have seen a video of 12320 (mirror is 12924) and it has a seperate bedroom, with the walk-in closet and bathroom off of it. The rest are the standard layout with the large walk-in closet off the hallway.
  18. There is a video done by Danny Harr that explains and shows the 3 configurations. If you search for "H5 The Haven Owner’s Suite with Master Bedroom" on You Tube you will find thm for the Prima and the Viva.
  19. I will add this description to that code in the master list 😁
  20. A few years ago, we used to book directly with the cruise line. Then we tried a big box TA, which was very impersonal. Then tried one of the cruise bid sites and were fortunate enough to find our current small travel agent (franchise of a large cruise agency) We have continued to use the same Travel Agent for the last several years. Pros: They provide refundable OBC or send a check at the end of the cruise (my choice), 5-10% of the cruise price. They often have deals that pay for gratuities and/or provide other extras (water, special dining, etc.) Sometimes have deals that offer additional non-refundable OBC. They have a relationship with American Express that gives me $100-$300 non-refundable OBC with every cruise along with a free meal for 2 at LeBistro (or equivalent restaurant) when I use my AMEX Platinum card. Benefits are different on non-NCL bookings. Personalized service - they know what I like, which makes my contact with them quick and easy. They almost always answer the phone in person, if not I get a call back within minutes, even if I do not leave a message. They do not add any fees for changes or cancelations. They will contact the cruise line for any issues that need resolution and fight for me if needed. All credit card charges are posted direct to the cruise line, they do not transact and hold. Cons (not many): They are only open M-F during business hours. If there is a price drop on a weekend, or a cruise with a room that I really want opens up I have to wait until Monday, so could miss an opportunity - although in theory I could book directly with NCL and transfer. For most issues that could arise with a booking I do not have the option of contacting NCL direct We cruise quite a bit, often in suites, so we have saved thousands of dollars by using a travel agent. As others have stated, ask other cruises for recommendations, and talk with a potential travel agency about practices, policies, and discounts before choosing them.
  21. Mock booking on NCL for a club suite comes to $2,942.80 which is less than what the OP claimed to have paid. NCL does not allow "upgrades" to rooms that have a lower cost. Apparently they "offered" the upgrade for $800.
  22. Once you click into the details, normal price returns.
  23. Interesting, I have been seeing this on some cruises today - I am guessing another system glitch. Probably not supposed to see these fares.
  24. The extra benefit has always shown as "Exclusive amenities unique to each cruise line, such as premium wine or assorted canapes". For NCL it is dining at a French restaurant. Varies for other lines, Oceania was a bottle of wine (good quality). Have had it for every cruise that was eligible. Sometimes it cannot be combined with other benefits. We have had free onboard gratuities that excluded the AMEX Platinum cruise benefit.
