Oct on Epic - no charge. However I had 2 Cosmopolitans and saw a charge of $21 after the dinner. Went back to LeBistro and they said you ordered Cirroc Cosmo. I did not if I had do they really cost $25 ea as that is what it would have to be with UBP??? I'll never really know what the charge really was but they removed it from my bill.

Go during a port day I literally had the whole deck to myself for an hour last week

Did you have to bid on Epic too or called upsell dept???

I sail on the Epic Sunday on a CAS comp w airfare and just upsell from IX to H5 for 500 ea. This new program looks like it is working they are getting more money on higher categories. My total cost with insurance UDP and UBP was 2000 if I paid full cabin price over 8k plus I have free airfare transfers and one night hotel. Loving NCL upsell and CAS right now.

Thx doing this cruise for the 2nd time next week. 7th time on the Epic. Loved your review and info on excursions!

I am waiting to upsell to a balcony was told they don't release balcony or minisuite until the week of the cruise or 3 days before sail. I've been calling once a week for 3 weeks leave on 10/23. Suites can be released 4 weeks ahead but there are none!

You will have to rebook and believe you will lose the early booking perk of latitudes points. However, I think you will get more satisfaction for making a great memory for your friend on her 50th bday cruise! Aft balcony is so great watching the wake.

Thanks everyone

The SD on 12 does not have a murphy bed. It has a sofa sleeper which I think is larger than the sofa sleeper in the forward suite on deck 10. The SJ's (without a balcony) have the murphy bed and sofa sleeper. The big bed doesn't separate in the SJ's on the Dawn, but I have read that it does in the SD's. The SD does not have a dining table and chairs like the SJ does.

Hmm I looked at a YouTube video of 12528 and 12028 and one or both showed a Murphy bed.

Spa balcony has spa products robes and slippers and shower sometimes a full bath is better. Plus it will be right by the spa.

Need opinions 3 women currently in 10500 penthouse large balcony. Room is over 500 sq feet and balcony is covered by bridge overhang.

+ for current room

Views views views

Covered balcony

Have always want to try one of these rooms for balcony/views

+ to switching to SD FL 12

Double sinks & sep shower and tub

Rooms about the same size but it says queen can be separated. Can anyone verify?

Patio is uncovered could also be a minus as weather can prevent u from sitting out.

Has a Murphy bed plus seems like more of a divider vs just a curtain

Maybe less motion vs bow.

Oh price difference is nominal under 100.

Help!!!!!

Well here is the scoop. Spoke to shore excursions 3 times finally right info. Can only have six in cabana. System has not been setup like Stirup Caye to add extra people for 25 ea. You can only hold with shore/ex 50 perk everyone else pay up front. It is not a private island so pay for food and beverage while there. We have 8 in our party so it was a no go. Disappointing.

If you can't get a cabana are they charging for lounge chairs? Will suite guests get to disembark first?

I am so upset about the news of the cabanas :(. The cabanas on Great Stirrup Cay are our favorite things to book and enjoy. We are going to Harvest Caye in May and were planning on enjoying the day in the cabana, frequently checking to see if they were available to book. The price is totally fine with me for one cabana, but unfortunately there are 7 of us going and we don't want to have to book 2 cabanas:(.

I've got the same issue sounds like they are using wristbands and you can't be over by 1 or 2.

I'm sending mine in this week

Anyone book a cabana? I see it says up to six people we have 8 is it doable or will they require a wristband to enter area and limit to six. Price is steep with no food or alcohol. Are they charging for loungers and umbrellas?

I get a weekly spa pass every sail. I alway go to the spa first thing after we board. Have never not gotten one in 13 cruises.

I've done spring break cruises out of Miami for the last 5 years. Airfare in some cases was triple from Dallas to FLL. Decided for 2017 spring break will go out of New Orleans to save on airfare.

The upsell dept asked me if I got an email it wasn't CAS.

Casino when it is about to open on first day has a rum punch party and the art gallery has a champagne auction at some point.

They have the lap pool instead of a therapeutic pool. Sauna and steam rooms are not co-Ed. Still enjoyed and will be back on her in Nov.

Umm not sure I agree with above. You can upgrade anytime there is no cancellation fee but not to a lower price. Upsell you wait until closer to your sail date 4 weeks to a couple of days. The price to upsell should be less than when you book or upgrade. You pay basically a fee. I.e. 500 ea to a suite or 200 ea to a balcony. You sometimes can negotiate and they will check with their supervisor if they can take your offer. Because of the discounted price you do not get the extra offers but you get all the service that goes with a suite. If you book a suite.

They put a sticker on your wine bottle so they can tell you paid the corkage.

Wow, such respect for rules.

I figured some snarky individual would have a smart a$$ comment. Grow up. The point is the rule is not consistent and we had 3 cabins together if we wanted to sit together and socialize and then close it who is that affecting no one.
