OK...thanks for clarifying that. Yes, this is obviously a total screw up by NCL and obviously you have the unenviable task of getting them to fix it after you've disembarked. I suggest you contact your credit card issuer ASAP and hopefully they will give you a temporary credit until NCL corrects the errors.

If you had those meals as part of the FAS package you would have prepaid the service charge and they would not be collecting the $37 .

Did you sign checks in the Haven Restaurant for those amounts or did they just appear on your final bill out of nowhere? Again, there is no charge for dining in the Haven restaurant so if the charges represented a 20% service charge 20% of $0 is still $0.

As I've said, there is no charge for Haven meals so obviously there are no prices on the menu. So 20% of what??? I can't imagine that anyone being presented with such a bill would actually sign it. Surely there were passengers on the sailing who had been Haven guests in the past and I can't imagine the issue not being raised by one of those passengers immediately upon the first presentation of a check to sign . That's why I find this very fishy.

Needless to say my use of the word "tripe" was intentional. 😁

Horseshoe Bay is one of the finest beaches you'll find anywhere . Lounge chairs and umbrellas are available for rent.

You're making too much sense, but the trolls who feast on these tipping threads won't care.

This sounds really fishy. Since a Haven guest is not charged for eating in the Haven restaurant there's never a check to sign and of course 20% of $0 is $ 0.

Right...they are following the recipes created by the corporate office...BUT...I've seen a change in the ship's executive chef mid cruise make a substantial difference, in either a positive or negative direction in the quality of the food's preparation, so you can't just point a finger at the recipes. I was not comparing Julia Child with a young chef trying to follow a cookbook. That isn't even remotely close to what I was saying. I was commenting on what I think was a ridiculous assertion that one needed to be a "native" to properly cook "ethnic" food. Only Italians can cook Italian food? Only the French can cook French food ? Utter tripe.

So using your standards Julia Child couldn't possibly have made acceptable French food ???

Everyone with GE has TSA PreCheck . The OP's question was whether he could use TSA PreCheck when he only had conditional approval for GE, not final approval.

🙄

Wouldn't the officer be concerned that the person in question won't actually board their flight and instead choose to stay in Canada illegally? If so is it possible that the individual would be taken to the airport in the custody of law enforcement to ensure they actually board their flight?

FYI, Oceania's world cruises are on Insignia, not Nautica. If someone is on the full Oceania ATW a full visa package is included, so it's unlikely the OP is on that cruise as they would likely know that all necessary visas can be obtained through the visa service contracted by Oceania. Even if they are only on a segment they can pay Oceania's visa service provider to get the proper visa.

Of course they can get one, but that doesn't mean they actually have gotten one.

Not everyone has a bank account: https://www.fdic.gov/analysis/household-survey/index.html#:~:text=An estimated 4.5 percent of,a bank or credit union. "An estimated 4.5 percent of U.S. households (approximately 5.9 million) were “unbanked” in 2021, meaning that no one in the household had a checking or savings account at a bank or credit union."

It's open seating. Arrive whenever you wish during dining hours. You can request an individual table or to share a table with others when you arrive at the dining room.

A matter of opinion of course, but we don't like the sea bass in Le Bistro one bit, but we do like the Dover sole. I agree...I often order it often.

My wife often has seafood in Cagney's and hasn't had an issue with it.

The usual base fare for a solo on NCL is equal to the base fare for two. They have been offering some cruises with no solo supplement recently to fill unsold cabins.

Look at the OP's first post , which I've quoted above yours.

The main dining rooms always have fish available for dinner.

There are two or three seafood entrees on the Cagney's menu.

I'm sure @psacwas referring to the Haven restaurant, where there is no upcharge for lobster tails.

On ships built after the Gem...in other words from the Epic onward, there is a separate Haven restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner for Haven passengers, Breakfast and lunch on those ships is not served in Moderno and Cagney's .
