No. The title of the email is foreign currency exchange service discontinuation. Nothing to do with settling accounts. No.bigbdeal. onboard exchange rates were horrible. Always better to use an in network ATM to get bank exchange rates.

Oh my, how boring to literally not be able to be honestly critical or identify one constructive thing that the cruise line could improve upon......I couldn't imagine sailing any cruise line for 12 times and not be able to constructively suggest one of two things that could be improved upon.

That's currently a Celebrity thing. He's already paid for 2 guests.

I would have no first hand knowledge of what may or may not be off the coast of Great Stirrup Cay. Since there is no pier, my guess is that there may be a reef there. Sounds like the approval has been received, so, like CocoCay, there must be a workaround in order.

You bet. Have fun.

Why? A couple $32 per day? A family of four $64 per day?

About 2 miles depending on dock location, 30-45 minute easy walk, pack light, flat streets along the ocean. We did it in May 2023. Train is very affordable.

Agree with beshears above. A little goes a long way. It isn't expected, but on our recent cruise, we found bar staff to be in short supply. We were in Wheelhouse every night and made good friends with one of the bar servers. We didn't tip every round but we would give an extra $5 or $10 every third day or so. We were on an 11 day cruise. This was the only "extra" tips we gave, but he earned it with his attentive service. Our drinks were never empty....even during the busiest times in Wheelhouse.

I'm just going to leave this right here. You have no idea what you are talking about as it relates to my satisfaction or happiness with NCL. I've responded to the OP for their benefit. You are free to believe whatever you want about me. Thank you!

Haha. Must have been a pretty poor sushi restaurant if it didn't have any desserts. Try green tea ice cream or mochi. How much did you tip?

Maybe many years ago you might have found a afternoon or late night happy hour or buckets of beer on special. Right now, they are pushing everyone to the packages/bundles. There were no happy hours or buckets offered on our recent Emerald cruise. I think beers on board were $7 plus 18%.

Try a pub crawl. You might find that you like it. 👍👍

When we were on Gem, the pool bars, casino bar and OSheehans opened in AM. Spinnaker was opened in the early afternoon. Then, towards evening, 4pm or 5, the remaining bars opened Magnums, whisky bar, Mojito bar up by Moderno, Sake bar, etc.

You won't find anything like Alchemy in the public bars on Breakaway ...maybe in Haven. Alchemy had infused Vodkas and specialty crafted cocktails. Their bartenders are amazing.

Thanks for the feedback. We have loyalty to no cruise line post pandemic.

Yep, that is where they lost me. I can understand to a degree the fare supplement of 200%, but when they try to ascribe an additional supplement based on an unknown (spending habits), it makes no sense. This, too, will probably pass. Times are good for the lines right now. High passenger demand, high pricing. It won't always be that way.

My thoughts are that the service provided on NCL is not worth $20 per passenger per day. For a family of 4, it is $80 per day, $560 per week. Crazy!! I have no idea how NCL divides that up and frankly couldn't care less. We just sailed Princess and were charged and gladly paid $16 per person per day. That included twice daily attentive stateroom service. We thought that was a more fair price than NCL. I have no idea how it gets divided up amongst crew, if at all. Notwithstanding, anyone that doesn't believe the services charges on NCL are fair or warranted is free to proceed to guest services, as we have done, and adjust them to the level that more closely matches the service received. We knocked ours down to $16.50 per person per day by visiting guest services. We weren't rude or demanding and the guest services rep was more than glad to adjust them. Oh, yes, they are also free to refrain from cruising NCL....as if that option wasn't blatantly obvious. 😭😭

Definitely not what I think of when I think of diner food. However, I appreciate the opportunity to have an additional "included" option at a time when we are seeing cutbacks and reductions on all cruise lines

This is why I come on here. Today, I am getting a lesson in soft serve, something I know nothing about. Thanks everyone!!

Breakaway. What calcruiser64 said above. Waterfront is cool. Stateroom design is more functional.

Looks pretty rusty to me.

Oh, I'll do you one better. I rarely cruise solo. However, this is poor policy. We won't consider Celebrity, period....as a couple, as a family, with a group of friends. When we see reprehensible greed, we run the other way.

....how to tell someone their business is not wanted without telling them there business is not wanted. Foolish, greedy decision on the part of Celebrity. The logic for a 200% surcharge is understandable. However, when they profess to know the spending habits of each customer by projecting a fictional amount of "foregone" on board revenue, they lose me. They must think every solo traveller spends zero onboard, which is silly. It is unheard of in the industry. Fortunately, other cruise lines have found a way to meet their revenue projections without suffocating solo passengers with unethical, unreasonable, surcharges. This is getting a lot of negative attention on social media. Quite rightly so.

It's an industry wide issue currently. Paying more getting less.

Uhh, probably your local Applebee's TGI Fridays or the freezer section of your favorite grocer. Life will go on without mozz sticks for your vacation. It will all be ok.
