  1. Here you go https://nclh.my.salesforce-sites.com/AccessDeskForm/
  2. You can try to file an amended claim with the insurance but don't be surprised if your insurance does not pay for the CN. Some travel insurance companies do not insure certificates or gift cards.
  3. The cord I have is already 10 ft on my cpap and it still won't reach most outlets in the cabins. I bring a 10 ft extension cord that I keep with my cpap, used for nothing else. Never had a problem with it being confiscated. The cord would only be confiscated if it is frayed and in bad shape.
  4. I have to disagree. The waiters on a ship have NOTHING to do with relaying the quality of the food to the kitchen. That is more or less up to the maitre 'd and I did talk to one. My tastes are just that, my tastes. I still stand by why I posted, food decline. Pork, cheap fish, and bland. I do not have a superior level of taste for sure. I am not upset. Goodness, I have been on CC long enough to know better 🤣
  5. You quoted my post, but did you read it??? I did not state in that posting that I talked to the waiter, personally I do not think a waiter has anything to do with taste. I did post later that I talked to the maitre 'd and he stated that they quit using "herbs" because people complained about them. When I stated portion were small that was for Shanghai's and yes I could have ordered more but then I would have been waiting another 40 minutes to get more food. The main menus were bad compared to the last time I was on NCL right at the Pandemic. The Everyday menu I did discuss, the New York strip was super tough even though it had a good taste, the rest of the everyday menu was not very appealing, it remained the same every day, breaded flounder, grilled chicken (very dry and tough), baked ziti which I ate several times, pork loin (this is one of the things I was talking about, pork is a very cheap cut of meat and NCL is serving it two and three dishes a night. The fish consisted of cheap fish, you can no longer get swordfish, grouper, red snapper on the menu, instead they are replace with pollack, swai, tilappia. And no thank you, I am not paying $20 extra for something from the specialty restaurants when their food the nights I went were disappointing. If you would go back and read my quote I stated that we did not starve. "Don't get me wrong, we didn't starve but was shocked at the decline in the food quality." I posted due to the decline in the food offered due to herbs no longer being used and the quality of the food itself. I am not a new cruiser (59 cruises) so I know when food goes down hill. NCL Epic's food was totally different than what we have ever gotten in quality and taste from NCL in the past. This is a forum so stated my thoughts.
  6. The Epic switched ports and came to the US unexpectedly end of last year. No room at Tiano Bay so it is doing Amber Cove.
  7. It didn't that should have said La Cucina...sorry. Everything else in La Cucina was good.
  8. I was referring to bland also. I might have gotten my wording across wrong. There was basically no seasoning used. I even remember their breads having spices such as Rosemary. Thyme, etc, not this time. Our bread that we received in the MDR was plain rolls each night. I use a lot of seasonings, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano and these are not used anymore due to the dislike and complaints of customers according to the maitre 'd. I can understand not using spicy as in hot but why would they not use herbs!
  9. Well, it is really bland now. When asking the maitre 'd why, his response was that they do not add a lot of spices to the food anymore due to complaints from many people saying they do not like it. We must be a minority because I love spices and flavor in and on my food!
  10. Not looking for the best, just looking for decent food that is edible
  11. We love cruising, like I said, we did not starve just disappointed. The Jewel will be our 60th cruise and looking forward to it.
  12. We sailed on the Epic last month for 3 weeks. We both can't believe the decline in the food on the Epic. We usually gain at least 7 lbs each on a 3 week cruise, we both lost a couple of pounds. I understand that food is subjective but the cuts and types of meats offered was shocking. Below is a few examples: La Bistro - fillet was so tough you could not even chew it, portions seem to be half the size, I have never seen pureed Pasta Fagioli soup but it sure was pureed with 2 macaroni noodles (tasted and looked like white bean soup with 2 macaroni noodles floating in it)! Moderno - meats were tough, hard to get someone to come to the table with meat, lamb chops is now lamb sirloin and it was very fatty and had a really bad wild smell, the sausage was the size of cocktail sausages and burned (no longer the large sausage that you would put on a bun), etc. We had booked Moderno's twice but cancelled the second booking since it was so bad the first time. Shanghai's - portions were about half the size they use to be. Main Dining Room - I must say the menu's were really bad. I understand the menus repeat each week but out of 7 days, the main items were turkey twice, brats twice and pork several times. The New York Strip on the classic menu had a good taste but too tough to chew. We ordered pasta several times for it to be really dry and not much sauce on it. They use to serve Swordfish, Cod, Grouper, or trout. The fish they offered this time was Coalfish (Pollock), Tilapia, Hake, Flounder. They did have Red Snapper in an Asian Dish but there was one 1 inch square piece of Snapper and no more fish! O'Sheehan's - not a fan of the wings anymore. They were so soggy! We use to eat them all the time, not this time. Just a question, do all the ships puree every soup? Every soup on the Epic was pureed, corn chowder, bean soup, pasta fagioli, even the French Onion soup had no onion in it, just broth. Cagney's, La Cucina and Teppanyaki's were the best. We don't eat rice and asked for Udon noodles at Teppanyaki's and they were awesome! Don't get me wrong, we didn't starve but was shocked at the decline in the food quality. We have the Jewel booked next, hoping it is better than the Epic. Will probably be going back to MSC after that if the food remains as bad as it was on the Epic. Otherwise had a great 3 weeks!
  13. Well do what you want but seriously you want people to condone it actually. Hope you do get caught and lose your package. Just saying
  14. If you read the Terms & Conditions you would see how you would be breaking the rules.
  15. Just my two cents but I would hope the bartenders enforce the rules! Why some think it is okay to break the rules is beyond me!
  16. When I click View Price Breakdown it shows it for me
  17. Here is mine before you put your name just click View Price Breakdown and it shows Also you can see it on the first page
  18. Just got back from this cruise. San Juan you can do a self walking tour. Or you can go to the Forts, inexpensive and interesting. Great Stirrup Cay is a beach day and no excursion needed. St. Thoma, take the Sky lift, beautiful scenery. Do not book it through the ship. If docked in Havensight then it is only a 5 minute walk. You can buy the tickets yourself, I think they are around $24pp. If you go to a beach a taxi will cost you at least $25 each way. Amber Cove has a nice port. It has a large swimming pool that is free. It also has a zip line that is $20pp for all day. For the tender, the only one that you will need it at is GSC. As soon as you get on the ship go to deck 6 to the "Box Office", there will be a line. That is where you make your reservations for the tender. You ca do it in your cabin also but we did not get to go to the cabin until after 2:30 and the first couple of tenders were full. You should be able to do them at the kiosks but last week none of the scanners on the kiosks were working and I doubt from the looks of it that they was planning on fixing them.
  19. All you have to do is click View Price Breakdown and it shows you everything.
  20. Just got off of the Epic last week, yes the walls are magnetic, we took hooks and used them on the walls. We had 3 hooks outside on the walls in the cabin.
