    Post CRUISE LINE Single Supplement/Solo Bargains HERE

    in Solo Cruisers

    Posted

    OK, I posted twice about the "no single supplement" cruise I am taking and it has been taken down twice. WHY? There wasn't anything inappropriate about it. The information might have been helpful to someone. Some kind of communication about these decisions would be helpful. Otherwise, why bother to post???

     

     

    Yes that is the reason you will notice they also appear to have taken down Sungolds to they are really against the naming of TA and Facebook pages etc... That why I just put up hints for the people rather than details..

    Canadians - Current Exchange Rate?

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    As long as your American TA can bill you in cdn $$$ then no worries but there are some who cannot (or do not)...so then your dinged with usd conversion and possible processing fees from your credit card company (if your using a Canadian visa...although amazon.ca visa card does not charge this)

     

    Thanks for the information about amazon.ca visa not charging the fee just signed up for one had a future cruise credit for the downpayment but as a Solo cruiser there was just one US TA offering the amazing solo rate I got on my upcoming NCL Gem cruise

    <sigh> I'm looking for a cruise to the Caribbean, leaving from Florida (I'm in Ohio) and am flexible to go late Sept, Oct, or Nov, but am getting frustrated trying to find something that's not going to gouge me as a solo traveler. :(Someone had posted before that Carnival told them they would be offering good solo rates in July, so that's what I'm hoping for. Other than this, I'm looking at Apple Vacations for just an all-inclusive resort. <sigh> Anybody have any thoughts or advise?

    I am planning very first solo trip and will cruise. My question is do I go through a travel agency or book myself?

     

    I am doing the Gem solo for 10 nights November 23, 2015 with no Solo Supplement. Great deal with some freebies booked with a travel agent this time but have also booked through NCL direct.

    I took it as a free bump up at no extra charge since you booked before the change over....I could be wrong....

     

    It is a free bump but as the only thing worth much is the drink coupons and they are not given to the existing booking people the bump is not worth too much unless you plan on eating meals in your cabin... which I certainly don't on my cruise

    Price for the Getaway in June sure have dropped

    I see NCL hasn't changed many years ago I was booked on the Norway and paid for an upgrade to a bigger cabin a week or so later and my new cabin is now cheaper than my original cabin... But no they wouldn't upgrade further or give any OBC. I booked direct an tried to negotiate but

    no luck so they lost my business to RCCL and Celebrity for the most part...

    I understand about extra cleaning. I just got off the IOS last week. Even with all the extra cleaning boarding started early and in fact cabins were ready at 1pm.

     

    As far as I know they had not had an outbreak of noro prior to your cruise so it would be traditional cleaning and boarding so

    your experience would not be the same as this cruisers. When the ask people to arrive later they are usually serious about

    It.... I received that email prior to my last cruise I our case as we were following a transatlantic and they required extra time

    to clear the ship. We boarded exactly when they said they would..

    If your flight arrives at 9:30 by the time you land, get off the plane, get your luggage and take a cab to the pier it will most likely be 10:30-11am. Around 11am is the time boarding usually begins so just get on the ship and go to the Windjammer for lunch.

    Don't worry......enjoy your first cruise!!

     

    I think you missed the part where they have asked people not to show until 1:30 due to the extra cleaning they will want to do on the ship and as someone who is booked on the TA in 2 weeks I certainly want them to do it.

    Try book fight and cruise together with Air canada vacation

    I ran into this problem about 6 years ago I usually always fly in a day early but didn't this time. I had an 8am non stop flight from Toronto that should have given plenty of time. Flight was delayed over and over due to equipment problems. The guy working for Air Canada in Toronto informed us all that they had no responsibility. I was taking a short cruise to use up vacation before a longer cruise. It was obvious by the time we left we were going to miss the ship. As I had a friend living in the FLL area i could stay with and Air Canada would also not delay my flight until I was to leave for the second cruise I went anyway. The AC guy basically told us we were to blame and were idiots to fly same day. When we landed in Miami a couple of us bought tickets to Nassau first port from American but decided to go see AC to see if they would at least get us a hotel. The women in Miami was amazing she had us void our American tickets and then she rebooked everything from flight to hotel and shuttle. It all worked out great but when I wrote to Air Canada when I returned they informed me the first man was correct and we just lucked out with

    the women in Miami. Since then I try to book anything but AC even if I have to connect.
