I believe the cost of the insurance is based on the cost of the cruise. If you didn’t up the insurance when you upgraded, you can’t collect that amount from insurance. So if you insured a $2000 trip, you aren’t getting back $3000 if you spent $1000 to upgrade.
That was nice of them but I wouldn’t expect it. Prices go down the more you buy, so if it was allowed, it would make sense to share. I could buy a 14 meal plan for $469 and my family of 7 could have 2 specialty meals, if purchased individually it would be around $700.
Thanks for this information, I posted that a passport might not be needed depending on location, a passport will obviously be needed so ignore what I posted.
And I believe you heard it from folks in person, I’m saying that here on cruise critic, and here in real life, I’ve personally never seen or heard it until today.
I’ve sailed this week before from nyc, you might be parking in lot 90 due to fleet week. They only started taking reservations this year, I’ve never seen any reports on CC about nit having parking available, there were plenty of spots on our cruises.
Cruise line excursions are almost always more expensive than private of just doing it on your own. I remember wondering g who paid for the NCL cocoa beach shuttle on our cruises (this was before the excursion credit so it was all oop). You could see cheaper options from the ship.
It’s 20% of the ubp charge and dining charge. Then there is the daily service charge for each passenger ($20 pp pd) like most cruise lines. Then port charges and taxes.
There is a very good chance that the sausages were frozen and previously cooked. I’m pretty sure they know how to safely cook food for thousands of passengers onboard and aren’t winging it.
Teens under 18 can go to the teen club, I suggest the younger one go the first night, meet some new friends, and then they can all hang out in the ship together.
We first sailed with our 5 when they were 4 - 11, and they all experienced cruising as tweens/teens. They’d make friends and take off after breakfast. I know ships are big but have a finite amount of public spaces. We saw them in our daily travels all of the time.
I cook bacon and sausage in the oven, I have a bigger family and it’s easier, cooks evenly and clean up is a breeze. It’s a cruise ship kitchen, not a local diner.
I think they meant the stomach “flu.” A stool sample is needed to see if it’s food poisoning, and there aren’t tests for stomach viruses. If food poisoning there would’ve been many passengers sick.
