anyone know when NCL typically decorates their ships for the Christmas holidays? Just curious ...thanks

Is there a Margaritaville shop onboard the Bliss?

 

I thought I saw one in someone's post, but I'm not sure. I do know there wasn't one onboard the Escape. Escape did have a 'Margaritaville at Sea' T-shirt and probably a couple of other items.

Yes.....they have a small Margaritaville shop that is connected to another shop...

On the Epic out of Barcelona on May 20, we ordered the 12 bottle water package and only received 11. We called and complained and were told we’d get the last bottle the next day.

 

That didn’t happen, so at the latitudes party when the beverage manager asked us how our cruise was, we asked him for our missing water. We did receive it after that.

 

But it makes me wonder, did Doug ever get his missing water on the Inaugural sailing? Does NCL short everyone a bottle or two and hope we won’t notice?

 

Has this happened to anyone else?

Huh? This is news worthy?

We have never sailed on MSC before so does anyone know if this is combinable with the kids sail free?

Not unless they are offering both promos for your sailing

So I just called and they said it has to be booked under the drinks on us package and can't be changed. That's pretty lousy since I booked this cruise a year ago and only get the 12 drink vouchers while everyone else will be drinking like crazy...

My sister and I are on the Sept 29 sailing and had the same 12 vouchers.. I called last week and they changed it with no problem.....

Call back...

We sailed on the Cuba itinerary (Empress) this past July - loved it!! Our diamond event was held on the back private patio on the far/ end side of the Latin lounge. Drinks/ hot items were brought out to us and a gentleman (staff) brought out a keyboard, played and sang!!!

 

Our favorite diamond event ever opposed to the same diamomd lounge settings on the larger boats!

 

Weather was gorgeous - chairs, tables, loungers available. Only about 20 people max participated; felt like our own private party!!

Sounds great....what time was it held?

We went to Cuba on Empress a couple weeks ago and the Viking Lounge reserved an area for D, D+ Pinnacle during cocktail hour..Hors d'oeuvres and Drinks were served. No designated "lounge" per say.

Thanks for the info

Can someone tell me if there is a Diamond Lounge on Empress of Seas? Sailing for Super Bowl on first time as a Diamond...

Thanks for info...

Yes, police are included in the government employee/civil servant category. I guess you'd have to ask MSC or your travel agent what kind of documentation they want.

I’m a retired state employee..... I’ve gotten it on previous cruises...but yesterday I booked a family cruise...6 cabins so far....and they honored the 10% off all balcony cabins....5% off inside.

I just provided a copy of my retirement letter from the State. They put it in the system and don’t have to provide each time

Turns out .... Diamond Desk handled it

I have always thought we had to fax or snail mail the statement to them. Can you tell me what email you send it to so I can add it to my address book. Thanks

Aren’t we entitled with our 10 common shares🤥.

I assume you meant to be snarky... but just for your

Info.....you need 100 shares for the stockholder benefit...

Not 10 ....

But either way....YES...it’s a perk that a stockholder is entitled to....

You can have it too.....if you go buy 100 shares of stock!💵😘

I would call them directly if you are leaving soon... and if you don't have a PVP, I would get one... they are great for just such problems and they do all the work for you. ;):p

 

PS: Also, check in your booking info under your cruise docs and make sure it doesn't show there... and you have it and just don't know it. Hubby got his milestone OBC on this last weeks cruise and never got an email back, just showed up... I could see it about 3 days before.

Thanks....I had been checking my online info....

But I did just call the Diamond Desk and she said she would help me. I hadn’t even thought they could do that....

i have been a stockholder since 1999. I have never had this problem before.

I booked a last minute pack and go on the Sunshine leaving Oct, 30.....so I’m traveling this weekend. Last week I emailed a copy of my broker statement to guest services.....as I always do. I got the auto response that someone would respond within 3 business days...

NO response..... so yesterday I emailed them again....quoting the response from them and resending the broker statement. Still Nothing!

I don’t know what to do....but I am entitled to that OBC for being a stockholder...

Any ideas?

i booked a last minute cruise for Halloween. In the past, I would call the Players Club and Marty or Mike would tell me how much cruise cash I had earned on my previous cruise.....and it would be waiting for me at Cashier cage on first night.

Well..the phone number no longer works....can someone help?

Thanks, Barb

Just booked one last week....for Sunshine out of Charleston for 5 nights over Halloween.....great offer ....

Yes, you can see over them.. the top of them comes up to the floor level of your balcony

Thanks for the quick reply!

hi.....I seem to have misplaced the email address that we use to send a copy of our broker statement to request our stockholder benefit...

Can someone please post it for me?

Thanks,

Barb

I had the offer as well. Booked Sunshine out of Charleston.. Awesome deal......no brainer!

Based on history.....sometime between Feb and April of 2018

Wow! Didn't realize it was that far out.... wanting to plan a family cruise for 15 or so...

Thanks

Looked at the review again...... and it says "thankfully, the Escape is set to receive the enclosed casino smoking area"

So.......wondering WHEN?

i just watched a video review of the Escape and it commented that the smoking area in casino was an enclosed area....to help keep the smoke from spreading....

Does anyone who has recently sailed know if this true?

Sailing Escape in September and I would be so thrllled..... expect that it can't really be true..

Thanks
