just seen on uk site that ncl has two additional rates, one called Norwegian rate, one called just cruise rate but they are both shown as same price.

Has anyone booked them? Can anyone clarify what if anything is the difference apart from wording.

Thank you

Booked through NCL ,rang them direct so I could confirm what was included. Very helpful service.

Great thanks again for taking time to answer my query.

I booked a sail away cabin from U.K. and got all inclusive, confirmed in writing and verbally. All cruises from U.K. are all inclusive no matter what category of cabin

Thanks so much for responding, did you book online yourselfor through NCL agent?

Made a big difference hearing this to my consideration of booking a cruise.:)

Yes I agree, reading information makes me feel one thing, but the agent being clear it does include packages through me a curve ball......anyone anythingbto add please?

I checked this for a friend who was considering cruising with us.

The sailaway rate under the new premium AI does include the same premium all inclusive as "regular" bookings do. You just don't get to choose your cabin its allocated for you.

Hi please can I asked did you friend go on to book, and does it show premium AI included.? I am so confused with this, I asked an agent she said it does include drinks etc, however I did dummy booking and rate showed noweigan rate" not premium all inclusive.

hi everyone, I have checked threads won here re the sailaway price and what it means, and my understanding from here is that it doesn't include the premium all inclusive ( U.K.) price.

I contacted NCL to enquire about a price for cruise, the NCL person gave me a quote for a sailaway option. I asked her about the package and she said "yes it would be all inclusive" I quoted the lines from the webpage. That it doesn't include promotions, and she said "no" it doesn't mean the all inclusive but that it meant we wouldn't get things like the lattitude promotion extra points, or onboard credit. She sounded very sure, but. Have nothing in writing, I haven't booked yet.

I wonder has anyone from U.K. Booked a sailaway price and got drinks package etc included in price.

Thank you

We were on Jade in 2009 and just got off cruise on jade last week.

Loved the updated Jade, loved decor around ship. You will have fab time.

Also been on Epic and spirit, Jade is now my favourite but I didn't like it before as much as I do now.

There was ballroom and Latin dancing in atrium when we were on the ship

Thanks posters, they are now showing in my account.

Thanks, I bought them before, but last time they showed straight away. I had another cruise booked and they showed under my account but this time nothing. I will keep checking.;)

We were on the same cruise and echo your thoughts so far, although we have been on NCL before this was our 5th NCL cruise, we found the staff on this cruise better than epic.

hi can anyone tell me where and when cruise next certificates can be seen, are they on your account? I can't see the. Anywhere.

Thank you so much for you daily updates, loved reading everyone, and you have also told us about the weather, each day, sounds like you had great weather, my hope is it stays that way for us......everything crossed, keep changing what's in the case, but today last chance to do so! Have a fantastic two days at sea. And safe pleasant journey.

Loving reading, thank you again for taking the time to post.

Just starting to pack your weather updates are helpful too. :):(

How did you manage to get to look on the roll call for previous cruise SF2AA. It wasn't showing any info when I looked, only showing roll calls from 9th August. Any advice? Thank you

Loving your thread, thanks again

Great details, thanks for sharing, can you post what the weather is like each day, unsure what to pack, today's weather looks gorgeous.

Is tonight dress up or not night?

Yes is my vite

We travelled on the Epic with infant, and two other children, we were booked in Haven and ate in speciality dining each night, we were dismayed at having to wait for a high chair, we were told there were not many on board. One night we waited almost hour, with fraught child who did not want to sit on parents lap yet was too small to sit on a chair. The result was upset family, wasted time and

Spoiled dining experience not only for us but I'm sure also for others guests trying to enjoy their meal. That was onboard epic about 15 months ago, with full capacity ship at Easter with lots of children on board, I would hope they have now bought more high chairs.

Don't know about shuttle for this cruise, we have done Tallinn twice, each time very easy walk from port to town centre. If that helps.

Obviously these things are down to individual interests, but for a first visit to Kotor, I wouldn't be looking at doing anything other than staying in the old town and climbing up the city walls for the views. Kotor is possibly my favourite of all the Med ports for just wandering round. The walls are quite hard work, but well worth the effort.

 

I don't know much about the Catamaran tour, but it will pass the same places that you will pass when sailing into and out of Kotor. It's a spectacular area to sail through, but you will get plenty of opportunity to see it on the ship. Personally, that would be quite a long way down my list of things to do in Kotor, although of course it may be just right for you.

 

Kotor is also very easily walkable from the port. The ship literally docks just outside the city gates. It's like they have just parked it up there. Dubrovnik, on the other hand, requires a taxi or shuttle bus ride to get to the old town (although this is also well worth doing). It is a bigger town, and another of my favourites.

These are my favourite ports of call, we did all of them on our own and all easy ports, I totally agree with post above, kotor just beautiful ship docks right in m Dole of town, in Dubrovnik we jumped on local bus to city, cheap and easy to do bought tickets to walk the wall. But equally nice to just walk the city. In Mykonos again ship was tender to port, and was in Mykonos town, walked the town and then caught local local bus to paradise beach, it was lovely but in hindsight would have probably stayed in Mykonos town. In santorini, we gir of ship, literally few steps to cable station to take you to the top and the town, you can walk up steps or get donkey ride personally I wouldn't, town lovely and great views from top

In Corfu we got local bus to town, didn't take long, very very easy and nice beach or town to explore.

Fabulous ports of call, I would repeat in a heartbeat. Enjoy

hi is anyone aware if NCL offering 3rd 4th passenger free at the moment on USA sites.

I live in U.K. And told different offers may be available via USA any help greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

can anyone help me understand please. I have only done one RCI cruise but am a C& A member, my family have never cruised with RCI before, we have all booked a cruise together and so I thought I would qualify for C& A offer of 25$ per cabin for each friend or family member who travels on same date, same cruise as me.

We have booked 5 cabins, I have tried to claim as it would give me 100$ OBC

However I have just been told I don't qualify because booked through TA.....any ideas anyone?

p&o, Cunard and Fred Olsen all very good for dance lessons and dance nights, also much more of dressing up nights. On a 14 night cruise we had five formal nights.

Yes there is dancing on spirit, we'll there was at new year cruise.

All of the dances you mentioned.
