Thinking about going on the Odyssey out of Bayonne in March, 2025. One of the ports is Port Canaveral so which dock would it stop at?

I have really enjoyed your review and hope to hear about your land travels.

Bonsai, I hope you will continue with this review. I have enjoyed it very much.

The FCC was not from a price drop but from a missed port, the infamous cruise to Bermuda that turned into a cruise to nowhere. On my account it says use by February 2024 but sail by February 2027. I already took two cruises since and have six more booked up until end of 2024 but none on NCL so really want to use it in 2025. Was just wondering if anyone was able to extend theirs. The cruise I want is on the new Viva but it is really expensive now. If I book it by February 2024 and the price drops before final payment and ask for the new price will I lose the FCC?

Thank you so much for this link. I just checked 3 cards we got from Cherry totalling $400 and they are all good.

Where do you buy this? On line or at Java Blue?

I think you are on our Oct. 25th sailing on the Miraviglia. If you are returning on November 5th and want to share car service or Uber or Lyft back to Port authority email me at ehshansky at yahoo dot com. We are 2 adults with 2 roller bags and two carry ones. Ellie.

Looking for something to do in port Canaveral off MSC Meriviglia in October. Would the museum be too childish for 2 adults only? It looks like a 1/2 hour walk from where the bus leaves you off at the Cocoa Beach Pier.

We mostly sailed with NCL but sailed RCI when cruising opened back up after COVID because of the lower prices. We really loved it. We had made reservations in the MDR for 7:45 every night because that was the only time available on line but sometimes showed up at 7:30 and was seated right away. We had a table for two and was seated at the same table every night. We did one specialty and told the waiter the night before so they could release the table for that night. Sometimes we were a little late but they never gave away our table. But one night the people before us at the table decided to linger into our time so we accepted another table for that night.

Last month I faxed the form to the number listed on the form. After 2 weeks not hearing anything I scanned the form and attached it to the email and sent it again. It was transferred that same day.

I know this was discussed quite a while ago but I forgot if you can extend it. We received FCC from a cruise taken in February 2023 which expires in February 2024 but you can sail up to February 2027. We would like to use it on a cruise in May 2025. If we book the cruise now and the price goes down after February 2024 will we be able to rebook and not lose this FCC or should I ask NCL if they can extend it?

Thanks for the review. We just booked the Liberty for next September. How were the shows? I know they might change by then.

So we booked our first excursion. The tube rafting in Dominica. We took the easy one because my DH has some back trouble and hope the water is calm. Some say it's boring and the other one has more rapids. There is another tube rafting in Grenada but only one ticket left. Has anyone else booked excursions? Any suggestions?

My last Royal cruise was on the Anthem in January 2022. Then we paid around $12 per night for 1 device regular internet. Just booked Liberty for Sept 2024 and there was only one option for internet with streaming for $20.99 per day. Is regular internet not offered anymore?

Yeah, I know. It just makes me a little upset when I read here that people were able to get their reduced prices re-fared without having to cancel or losing any perks on their original bookings but my TA doesn't seem to be able to do it.

I booked a cabin on Enchantment last month with their early booking 40% off promotion. Last week it changed to 50% off and my cabin came down $100pp. Called my TA and asked to get it re-fared. She called me back and said that we would have to cancel and rebook and I would lose all my OBC. What???? I have $200 OBC from the FCD I used for deposit and another $200 OBC from an incident on my prior cruise that couldn't be corrected. Why should I lose it? In addition, I had a good cabin that I didn't want changed. She called them again and after several hours got back to me and said she was able to get the lower price and keep all my OBC and cabin but they made a new booking number and cancelled the old one. This was the second time I tried to re-fare and they wouldn't do it. Back in 2018 when I had the 3 for free promotion the price of the cruise came down quite a bit but they said I would lose it so didn't bother.

Maybe not the same but last month I booked a cruise directly because my TA was on vacation. I downloaded the form to transfer the cruise to her, filled out, signed and faxed it to the number on the form. After 2 weeks we hadn't heard anything so now I emailed them and attached the form. It was changed that day.

What about OBC? Can we charge to the room and they take it out of our OBC?

Heard the crew smoking section on the Panorama was somewhere on deck 5. I am booked on the Venezia deck 6 balcony starboard near the aft. Being mostly the same layout will my balcony be affected by the smoke or is there a different smoking section for crew?

Do you know if Carnivals was also raised?

Great review. Looking forward to more.

I took a look at the deck plans. We are in a balcony above cabins on the port side but not too far from the Havana bar. You seemed to be on the starboard side in an inside directly above.

I'd like to purchase a gift card for a deposit. My travel agent says they may not accept them for deposits. Anyone know?

I understand that if you book an excursion with their credit card it takes 10% off the excursion. I am trying to book one excursion. I entered the credit card info but I haven't placed the order yet. Will the 10% come off after I place the order?

I can't remember if you said which cabin # you were in but now you got me a little worried. We are in cabin #6452 that is above the Havana area. We usually don't go to bed before 11-12 so hope it won't be noisy.
