I believe that you can do this when it's time to check-in. I'm not sure if it's a standard rate, but when I cjhecked-in this morning it was $199 per stateroom.

Question - are the OBCs that they are giving us in lieu of NCL refunding the port fee?

The comments on the article were crazy!

We're on the cruise on the 19th and there's a slot tournament and masquerade ball that I was invited to by CAS. They're giving us $100 in onboard credits (non-refundable) for the cancellation. The cancellation stinks. Flip

I called the Casino at Sea reservation number 877-742-9524 and spoke with a representative that told me that they have updated the awards and that Pearl ranked players will be receiving $75 in OBC. Not budging on the free drinks in the casino though.

Thanks for the insight! I have some research to do@ Flip

Two years ago we took the ferry to Hamilton and did the free walking tour with the town crier. Ed Christopher (the town crier) seems to know almost everyone in town and almost everything about the neighborhoods. It's a lot of walking and the streets are not flat or even. Last year my brother and I toured the Bermuda National Museum right in the dockyard. Interesting stuff if you are a history buff. (yes I did the cruise 2 years in a row! something about no flying to the port) Unless you have OBC that you want to use up, no need to use NCL for the excursions. Flip

We're taking the Breakaway out of Miami in May and I am looking to book airfare from Boston - Miami roundtrip. The itinerary has the ship at port at 7:00 AM. My past two cruises were on the Pearl and they did a "virtual" customs/immigration check in on the ship so we could get off the ship, grab our luggage and head home. (The last stop on the cruise was Bar Harbor ME which may be why they do it that way.) Do they do that on the Breakaway? I'm thinking of looking for the flight home to depart the airport around 12:30 and trying to figure out if I am giving us enough time to get off the ship and head to the airport for that time frame. Thanks, Flip

Yes, this is associated with a slot tournament. Thanks for the information. Flip

We're thinking of taking a cruise on the Breakaway in May that offers a masquerade ball and wondering if anyone has been to the ball and how it was? How dressed up do people get? And do they serve food or is it just a cocktail party? Thanks, Flip

Hmm, I could have sworn that my player's card was handed to me at check-in last year before boarding the Pearl . But, things were a little crazy leading up to the cruise. So my memory could be off.

Were you cruising on a casino offer? I've always received my players card and drink card when I checked in at the check-in desk when I checked in. I never picked them up at the casino.

I don't remember if we got a confirmation or not when we registered. You probably can just show up. I don't think that there was a maximum number for the tour.

We did it last June and loved it. Some of the people in our tour were locals that were doing it again with friends that were visiting Bermuda.

I did the walking tour last June and we loved it. Ed Christopher, the town crier, seems to know everyone in Hamilton or is related to them. we were able to tour the temporary Parliament hall while it was not in session. We took the ferry from the dockyard to Hamilton and it was $9 roundtrip
