Which is absolutely nonsensical. Ncl are unnecessarily making it difficult to obtain the discount . With all their available methods of booking an excursion onboard , it should be applied automatically . You shouldn’t have to make your way to the desk and stand in line with your hand out looking for your discount . Its amateur and reeks of unprofessional service

Thanks Keith i may have clouded the waters by adding both pre and onboard excursions. What is 100% certain is if you book excursions onboard anywhere other than the excursion desk , your discount will not be applied automatically

If you book onboard thru app, room or tv monitors throughout ship , you have to go to desk to get discount

Not the case onboard . I don’t like to book all my excursions until i see the weather or how I’m feeling . I don’t think one should be able to book thru multiple ways onboard yet have to visit the desk to receive your discount i prepaid one excursion and did not receive my 15% discount . I just double checked my bank account .

Whilst NCL makes it convenient to book your excursions thru the app, your cabin and the kiosks throughout the ship , be warned that they will NOT apply your 10-20% discount unless you visit the cruise kiosk . Often there is a long line and it seems ridiculous you can’t receive your earned perk without a physical visit also , i booked some excursions and pre paid and was told my discount was applied when pre booking . That is not the case . They are the same price onboard and no discounts were given when booking . Just be aware that you’ll have to do the legwork and ncl don’t mind that you’ll have to stand in long lines to ask for what should be applied automatically do better ncl

Perfect answer . Having been in hospitality industry , i totally get the tipping . I also tip $3, $5 and $5 for my 3 dining room meals daily. I travel solo just wanted to make sure that if things go correctly cabin wise with the steward , then I’m not under tipping. All i ask for is , like yourself … egg mattress , an iron and ice in my room . Other than that , I’m easy

thats my thought but $10 a day brings gratuities up to over $400 total, not counting the dining service charge and bar package. $700 is getting a bit much to lay out in tips?

Hi i normally tip around $100 to my steward on a 7 day . Given the auto tips are $280 for a 14 day cruise , would $100 be enough on top . It would seem if i doubled it to $200 , that $480 would be a lot for tips Any input appreciated. Not looking to stiff anyone but just unsure

Norwegian Getaway.....Thats the issue, I can't see the price until i reserve cruise. I am expecting it to be around $5-600 but just want the correct info

After a circular conversation with NCL, they refuse to give me a price for the thermal spa cost for a cruise out of New York on Apr 29th. The fare is now $1000 but I'd like to know ballpark cost of both spa and Wi-Fi. It seems to me to be ridiculous not to be transparent and to have to make a reservation to get this info makes no sense Anyone please help me so I can make an informed decision

Plastered ??. What are you talking about ?. There isn’t one sign in room nor around ship . I called medical office and no answer !!. I left a vm indicating our positive cases and received zero response . However, we were informed of a major medical issue onboard that forced us to return to Miami at 1am. Maybe this was more pressing . Without a doubt , NCL have no concerns about CoVid anymore , they want heads in beds . It seemed every second person was coughing onboard and no masks present . It’ll be quite a while before i sail again, the standards just aren’t there anymore

Notified the cabin steward and was informed to just wear a mask when leaving cabin. Every … second…. Person is coughing and walking down the corridor sounds like a hospital ward . My assumption is NCL aren’t interested in CoVid anymore . I think it would be scary to know the infection rate onboard here . Long time seasoned cruiser will be taking a step back from cruising and finding a different way to relax in the sun . Something a little less crowded

Ok. Disregard all the food comments ( apart from the toughness of some items) . Apparently, the food quality should be put down to both of us catching CoVid . I had noticed a significant number of people coughing on board over the last few days and as hard as we tried to be careful . We have both tested positive today . We brought kits with us . My wives symptoms are worse than mine ( mine so far is just taste )

Cruise going well, i am however disappointed with the food . The meal in Le Bistro was poor, just poor . We waited 45 mins for appetizers and then another hour for main courses. I had the Dover sole which was like shoe leather . The chicken dish ( Coq) was better but just not worth the wait . Last night in Savor , the steak was inedible as was the country chicken. It’s just not up to previous standards . We are at 80% capacity . Today, while waiting for omelette, the cook said to an officer “ please get me off this line”. He too was waiting for his omelette. Strange … so far, Cagneys has been the winner and if I’d to do it over, I would just dine there every evening The ports have been quiet . St Thomas is a shadow of its former self, with many many closed stores . Tortola is basic with just a dozen or so stores . CoVid has left its mark i think , with many businesses unable to see it out . Hopefully it’ll bounce back for them
