I wonder when NCL will officially cancel cruises to Alaska.  We have one booked and final payement is in April.  Will hate to pay and get a credit.  

I agree the prices have been lower before this amazing sale!! I keep my eyes open for a better price and they will book.

Prices are much more than what we have been paying.

Thanks !!

Ncl says the promotion is ending tonight. Will this promo roll over?  Any insider tips when a better promo is coming out?

thanks!

Thank you!

We will pay the final payment in December for the February 2021 cruise. No fcc credits. 
If this cruise is cancelled, can we use the 10% discount that will be given to us for a cruise booked already. That cruise is the 2021 august. 

We have a cruise booked for February. Final payment is December. . We also have a cruise book for august. We have only the deposit on that one. If we pay final payment for February’s cruise and  If/when the cruise is cancelled can I use that 10% discount towards my booked cruise ?

thanks!

Thank you for the helpful packing tips.  I do have a question.  We are going mid August.  What does one where for dinner? Should I pack capris and sandals(summer outfit) or longer pants and boots or closed toe shoes?

Trying to get a better idea since I do not want to overpack and pay for extra luggage on the plane.

Thank you!!

Dining for our gem cruise in February was supposed to open up last week, oct 14. We called since it wasn’t available online or the app. NCL said there were unsure when it would be available. I happened to look last night and you can make reservations for the specialty restaurants but not the main dining room. 
I know I’m being optimistic that we are even going on this cruise but staying hopeful. 
Any ideas why you can not make dining reservations for the free restaurants? 
has this happened to anyone else?

thsnks!

Thank you!

We will look into the thermal spa. We were on the gem and never got a lounge chair. Forget about a heated tile one. There were signs up saying limited time but no one enforced it. Wonder if the spa on the bliss is larger?

any must do excursions?

Thanks again!

Loved your review. We plan on going on the bliss in august 🤞.

I do have a few questions:

how was the weather? Do we even bring bathing suits? 
we bought the thermal spa pass on the gem in February. It was nice but way to many chair hogs. We never got a chair ever. How is the thermal spa on the bliss?

vibe pass you said isn’t worth it. Is it because it’s to cold to stay out on the outdoor decks? 
thank you so much!

Loved reading your post!!

We just booked the bliss aug 2021. This will be our first Alaskan cruise. Any must do’s? In your opinion is the vibe worth it or skip? 

Thank you!

Thank you !!

We have a cruise booked for feb 2021 from nyc. Final payment is due in December. I know it has been asked before but I want to make sure I totally understand. 
I pay final payment in December. If ncl cancels I get 125% fcc?  I do not get my cash back?  I am thinking of booking a cruise for aug2021. Can I put that credit towards a cruise that is booked already or only for new bookings? 

Any help/ advice will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you!

Hi we have never been on an MSC cruise.  We usually said on NCL.  We have sailed on Royal and Carnival and have preferred NCL.  We are looking to try a MSC cruise.  What are the differences? Any help would be terrific.

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for your responses.  We look forward to relaxing and using it a little during the cold days.  Thank you again

Thank you!

We are going on the Gem next month out of NY.  It is going to be cold for the first couple of days on each end of the cruise.  We have never gotten the thermal spa pass.  We are a group of 6 adults.  Is it worth it? Why? Can you bring a drink into the area? Does it get very crowded during cold weather months? Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you for any help!!

We are in our 50's  and will be in St. Kitts from 11-6 in February.  Any suggestions on the best excursions to do through NCL?

Thank you!

Thank You!!!

I have been looking around for recent gem menus. Will be making reservations soon. We want to see updated menus and if anyone who has recently sailed her have any suggestions/tips. 

Thank you!

Yes, I am sure about the double points.  The rep on NCL sees that we are entitled to it.  Just so frustrating.

Thank you very much for all of the advice.

Keeping my fingers crossed.

Thank you

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on what to do and if there is a number or email that they have used if anyone has every encountered this problem. 

Thank you!

We sailed on the Escape back in July.  We were entitled to double points for that sailing.  We only received 1 point per night.  We have called and emailed every week since. It is a good 2 hours wasted weekly speaking to one or two people on the phone every week.  The rep speaks to the manager and gives us the same speech that they see the error and it should be updated very soon.  Our latitude points have not been updated.  There is no number to call the latitudes dept.  A rep has to email them.  This has been done weekly since July.  This is very frustrating.  

Does anyone have any advice? 

I greatly appreciate it.  Thank you!!

We are a group of 6 stopping at San Juan from 4pm-10pm.  We will like to look around for a little while.  Not venture too far but get off of the ship before dinner around 8. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

We are a group of 6 stopping at St. Thomas from 7am-1pm.  We would love to explore the island a little and/or go to the beach.  Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
