Bravo for your post! happytotravel

Hi, The Starward was the first ship my husband was on as a doctor. We were on for 4 weeks (August 1992) before being transferred to the Sunward as well as the wonderful SS Norway later on. In those days NCL permitted the doctor's wife to travel along with him. I don't think that happens anymore. But, those were the days, my friends!!!! happytotravel

Hi Hi, I read the FQs and I too believe the prices come from the cruise lines. It's a very interesting website. I cruise on NCL so am interested in their discounts. I notice that many of the Alaska cruises are deeply discounted for this year. I already have my cruise booked and paid for this year but will certainly check things out for next year. Sorry it took me so long to answer you. happytotravel

Thanks, I just checked my laptop and website does say 22 now. happytotravel

Hi, But the question of why there are two different number of choices, 19 on the site on my laptop and 22 on the app on my smartphone at the same time is still open! They should be showing the same numbers. I do understand why conflicting excursions would be dropped. That has always been so. Thanks again for your responding, happytotravel

Hi, Has anyone else noticed this? I'm on the Sky's May 29 cruise. I normally check the shorex choices on my laptop everyday since NCL is not putting all of the excursions on at once. The past week it showed 19. This morning I checked with my smartphone with the NCL app and found 33 listed. I booked one for Antigua. I later went back and found there were only 22 choices showing. Glad I booked when I did. NOW when I look at the site on my laptop it shows only 19 while the app still shows 22. I wonder why the differences between my laptop and the app? Thanks, happytotravwl

Hi, When I booked my cruise back in November my PCC asked me to update my name, if necessary, to reflect the name shown on my passport which included my middle name. I have a US passport even though I live in Canada. happytotravel

Also thanks for the info. I checked out the site and am wondering are the prices for solo discounts from NCL itself or do they come from other places as well such as a TA site? happytotravel

Hi, I'm so glad your husband took "pity" on you. Hope you had a great time. happytotravel

Go into your VPN setting and click on the Region Setting and change it from Canada by clicking on United States of America. I use Norton but I'm sure all others are the same. Good luck, happytotravel

Sorry, but that link doesn't help at all. I've checked before. I suppose we could go to the US site and see what comes up there and then check with our PCC or TA. Be sure to change your VPN location to US in order to get to the US site. Thanks to you both, happytotravel

Hi All, Does anybody know why on the US NCL website you can find "solo discount" cruises by checking the little box when looking at the filter section BUT on the Canadian site or for that matter the UK site this doesn't exist? I'm on the Sky's May 29 cruise and received a solo discount when booking through my PCC. I wasn't aware there was one on this cruise until he told me. I tried emailing my PCC with this question but he didn't get back to me. Thanks, happytotravel

Hi All Again, Interesting, when I log into NCL's US site and look up the cruise you screenshot as well as my own cruise I see the Senior Discount box to check. But, if I do the same when logging into NCL's Canadian site, since I live in Canada, I don't see it when looking up the same cruises. As mentioned earlier my PCC gave me the Senior discount when I booked. Any explanation for the differences in the sites? happytotravel

Thank you all so much! happytotravel

Hi, I'm on the May 29 Norwegian Sky cruise. I received a solo discount but only because my PCC told me I was eligible when I went to book the cruise. Although I have looked numerous times on NCL's website exactly as you stated above I have never seen the Solo Discount option shown. I am in Canada so could that make some difference? But, I did receive the discount. Can you send a screenshot showing the Solo Discount option. Thanks, happytotravel

Hi, Don't worry the majority of people cruising are sensible. Too bad the OP hasn't other things to concern himself. It's a pity. Enjoy yourself and if you run into someone complaining about nonsense WALK AWAY! Take care and have fun planning your cruise, happytotravel

Hi, #3 Question: When I went to book my 100 minutes and got to the payment page the Sapphire 20% discount didn't show up. I phoned NCL and was told to go to Guest Services when I get onboard to receive it. Why not online? I didn't ask. Sorry for the italics but I can't seem to change it. Enjoy planning your cruise, happytotravel

Hi, If you are booking any Wifi online and you deserve a discount, such as 20% for having Sapphire status, you will have to go to Guest Services when onboard to receive it. I phoned NCL this morning. So, make a note and don't forget to go to Guest Services! happytotravel

Hi, I posted the following earlier today on another place on this forum as MYNCL was showing only 36 excursions available and this has been the same for months. ============================================================================== I just checked with Shorex and they said that 36 or 37 excursions showing is correct. Reason being all the problems arising from Covid 19. There are companies who have gone under and the lack of personnel. Also many people may have booked very early and they are now all booked up. It was suggested to look under the Shore Excursion page and take note of any excursions you might like and when onboard see if any of those are available. It looks like there is a good chance according to Ihavetocruisesomewhere mentioned. ============================================================================= Following that I booked 3 excursions. Just a few minutes ago I checked MyNCL and there are only 21 excursions showing up now!!!!! Two of the excursions I booked are no longer showing up. Take care and continue planning! happytotravel

HI All, I thought I had posted earlier but it doesn't seem to be here, Anyway, I'm on the Sky's May 29th cruise. There should be more excursions turning up soon. There are only 36 showing on my page, I did book one, for Miami. I have been following the excursions for months so it cannot be that excursions are filled up and no longer available as Bird Travel mentioned. For whatever reason NCL seems to be waiting longer in order to publicize our choices. Keep checking every day. happytotravel

Hi All, I'm on the May 29th cruise. I'm sure there will be more options to be listed by NCL shortly. There are so few listed now but hang in there and check everyday. I don't why NCL seems to be taking so long in posting more of their excursions for this particular itinerary. Enjoy planning your cruise, happytotravel
