We always ask for rice.

The 3rd and 4th free was the promo that we used when I booked our June Getaway Baltic cruise through CAS. We're before final payment, and I need to change the name on the 3rd person and add a 4th person. The 3rd and 4th free promo is no longer available on our sailing. Do we lose that if I make changes now?

Thought that I would let interested folks know that he got back into the country just fine with his ID and green card. Be sure that the name matches exactly on both. People of Spanish descent sometimes have 2 last names, so he had to change his ID to match his green card.

bid the minimum and got upgraded from an inside to an ocean view on a greek isles cruise last june. still waiting on an alaskan cruise for this june. bid slightly above minimum to upgrade to a balcony or mini suite from an ocean view.

Lounges, bars, pool, spa, food, music, shows, naps, casino, contests.....Just look at your daily. There is stuff going on non stop all over the ship. Enjoy your free time away from kids and family. Do what YOU want. its a vacation after all. If you cant find something to do on a cruise ship you're not trying very hard.

Is the daily delivered to your cabin? I may have to bring a highlighter with me. Sounds like I may not want to miss a thing!

For this upcoming cruise on the Jewel to Alaska, I will be sailing with Mom and my girls. My girls will want to spend quite a bit of time in the kids' club, and my Mom will be in the casino which leaves me to do whatever I want. It's been a long time since I've had that kind of time for myself. What are the fun things to do on NCL?

This thread has extensive answers to that question:

Thanks!

How long after you submitted your bid did you hear back?

We've got 2 cabins booked, and I'm the only one that is Platinum. We're cruising out of Long Beach. Two people in the other cabin are handicap. Does anyone know the boarding process for handicap and Platinum in the new dome?

Thanks!

I've always used one with specific travel dates on it, but has anyone used one that is a generic stating that the other parent gives travel permission and medical decision consent?

Has anyone cruised with just a photo ID and their green card out of Long Beach, or cruised with someone that did? What was your or their experience? CCL says that this is fine. I'm just curious, since I'm cruising with someone in a couple of weeks who will only have this.

Past few weeks the Imagination and Miracle had Tervis Tumblers. Inspiration had them in December.

Thanks! I love the tumblers.

I'll be on the Inspiration this weekend. Does anyone know what the gift is?

Can anyone recommend hotels and transportation for traveling with little ones?

Definitely April. Earlier in the year equals less hot.

Is it possible to get an uspell from a CAS booking when calling in for one?

I booked reservations, but I can't remember when. I tried to look it up on NCL.com, but my cruise is no longer listed.... probably because we're on it starting today. How can I find out what I booked? I booked some enroute to the airport and the others few weeks ago, so I can't remember. TIA!

Yes, you should both have players cards and drink cards waiting for you.

 

Unless you're booked in a penthouse suite or higher, you will not get the suite perks such as breakfast and lunch in Cagneys.

 

Your main benefit, at first, will be the drink card. You'll probably also get some little treats (chocolates, little snacks) in your cabin in the evening from the CAS people. If you play enough, they'll probably offer you a comp'd dinner in one of the restaurants, or a comp'd spa treatment, or send a bottle of wine up to your room.

 

Don't forget to "cash in" your CAS points on the last night of the cruise. Listen for the announcements in the casino about this; if you have enough points you go to the casino services desk on the last night and they will look at your play and offer you some credit against your final on-board bill.

How much can you get taken off of your final bill? How many points equal a dollar? Thanks!

What a nice surprise! Are there any other ships that will be getting these cabins in their next drydock?

We're a little more than a month out Experienced NCL cruisers, please share your tips. I'll be on the Pearl with my 2 and 5 year olds. TIA!

Thanks for starting this thread. We will be on the same cruise! Can't wait to see Alaska and try NCL!

We'll be on the Pearl to Alaska in a couple of months. I'll have my little girls with me. Please share your tips for us to get the most out of our first NCL cruise - both kid and non-kid related tips. Thank you!

I've never sailed NCL. From what I read, my 2 yr old can't go to their kids club. Any advice on what she and I can do on the Pearl and at the ports? Also, does anyone have any experience with the CARE airline harness? Thank you!

For our family of four, it's airfare.
