I fell and broke an arm last year on a European Carnival cruise, ended up going to the ER in Belgium The cruise lined did not charge me anything for setting the break and a splint as I fell due to a trip hazard, the Belgian hospital only charged 156 euro for x/ray and another splint. I had AIG insurance that did reimburse me for both the ER and the cab rides back and forth but it took them about 6 months to finally pay. For my next cruise I chose the NCL insurance, with the low deposit, I feel like I am self insured on that and we do have Medjet ins as well.

Another thing🤪 do people go around with money to tip in various venues? In the past the only place I have given cash tips was at the past guest parties so the waiters are aware of my location so they will return😆. I have usually given our room steward and any special waiter some cash at the end of the cruise, too.

Sorry if this is a naive question but we haven't sailed NCL in many years. We have usually pre-paid tips or what NCL calls a service charge in advance but it doesn't seem to be broken out on our reservation information even though I asked for a total bottom line price. Should I expect the additional $280 added to our final bill? I certainly don't mind paying this amount as the crew deserve compensation but I was led to believe that the total we were given when booking was, in fact, the total.

My DH has Jr on his passport, I would like it gone since his father died years ago. I understood that the Jr wasn't applicable at that point. We just renewed his passport and just left the name as is for simplicity. Some of my ids have my middle initial but my passport has my maiden name since I have no true middle name. It has never been a problem and hopefully won't be in the future. Everything is on my CC so the Jr shouldn't be an issue, I hope.🫣😬
