I wish I could dispel the rumors about the Joy. I am sailing on her right now. Eliminating the Broadway show and passing off "Elements" as a premier show just doesn't cut it. Food is subjective, but there really is a big difference at the buffet between what it used to be less than a year ago and what it is now. Fewer options, poorer food quality. On the plus side, staff remains very friendly and overworked. But the cutbacks are obvious.

Excellent. Thank you for the information,

Ah ok. Looks like you walk through a garage and you're there assuming pedestrian egress.

Is this possible? Going B2B on MSC Seascape and NCL Joy. Looks like Terminal AA and Terminal B respectively Thanks in advance for any and all thoughts.

I am booked through CAS. My free at sea meals went from 1 to 2 with the upgrade as per dbrown84. Interesting about the differences between CAS and TAs.

We have a winner! Thank you dbrown84. That is exactly the reason for the additional $12 charge. Thanks to you and all who responded.

Thanks for all the responses. Didn't take the insurance. It's an upgrade to a balcony from an ocean view, so no increase in DSC, as far as I am aware. Just plain odd. Also, will NCL actually respond to inquiries about upgrade charges, since my understanding is that they contract the whole process out?

Thanks Odd. USD transaction made in US.

Just got an accepted bid on an upgrade. Card on file was run for 6% more than the total bid. Is tax being charged on accepted bids? Have never had this happen in the past.

December 2, 2023 Sailing of NCL Escape from Port Canaveral $100 pp oceanview to B4 balcony. Accepted. Question for the group-- my credit card was charged $12 in addition to the $200 bid (I guess works out to 6% of bid) for a total of $212 for the upgrade. Is this tax? I have received upgrades before without paying any tax.

If you earn Sapphire status or above at Casinos at Seas my understanding is that the 3 percent fee to "purchase" slot credits is refunded. First, I am correct this is the case, and is there a limit to the amount of slot credits subject to the refund? Second, what are the mechanics of the refund? Does it appear as a 3 percent fee and then gets comped off at the end of the cruise automatically, or do you need to request the refund and get a casino host to manually comp off the 3 percent fee? Bonus question: For Sapphire tier, how much do you receive in OBC? Thanks in advance.

I'd like to enter into this contest the whole turkey they cook at the buffet, typically on country and western night or all-american night. If you like turkey, it's as good as grandma's thanksgiving!

Thanks. Did you contact the local branch to set up the rental or was the national number in US or Canada able to handle this? Online booking at budget will not permit it.

Thank you for the very helpful replies.

Considering a Boston to Quebec City cruise in the Fall. The only problem is that I need to get back to Boston the same day the cruise ends in Quebec. There appears to be no commercial air service between Quebec City and Boston at the present time. One way rental cars also do not look to be an option as none of the majors seem to allow it. So options appear to be to take 3 plus hour train or bus to Montreal and head to the airport. But I'm open to other ideas! Any ideas?
