I thought I read of people who brought soda and bottled water on their cruise?

Wendy, which week are you on? We are on the one departing 11/2.

We are going on this cruise too. Following.

We will be on the Sky next month. Does anyone know what beverages they have in the buffets for lunch and dinner? Do they still have juice, or is that only for breakfast? We don't drink alcohol or soda, but our kids drink juice, so it'd good if we can get that from the buffet for them throughout the day.

Yeah, they were both super nice. The last time I sailed NCL was eight years ago and I've never been in a connecting room, so I had a lot of questions. The second rep not only answered my questions but volunteered information to put my mind at rest, such as telling me about child locks on the balcony doors. She also put in a birthday celebration for my daughter, who will be turning seven in the middle of the cruise. She told us about the free internet, the port excursions, asked about our flights, etc., etc. She might've been a supervisor, because the first rep transferred me to her after she couldn't figure out how to switch our cabins. (I didn't have to ask for the transfer, the first rep was certain the change was fine, she just didn't know how to do it.)

So you moved from a 4 person room into two connecting rooms for 2 persons in each room?  And this was done after final payment without penalties?

 

 

Yes. I gather it was complicated, because the first customer rep had to transfer me to someone else, and the second rep put me on hold for a really long time. But both were super helpful and determined that I get what I wanted without paying penalties. From what they said, I gather this was entirely due to the fact that I wanted to give them more money.

Oh, and we did three people in one room and one person in the other. With the "free third and fourth guest" offer, this was slightly cheaper than two and two.

I realized that I was an idiot and there are actually many connecting rooms on the Sky. I called NCL and they got us switched into two connecting balcony rooms for $1200 more, which is what I was bidding for a penthouse suite. While we won't get the VIP treatment, we'll have almost as much space and my kids will each have separate beds, which will be even better. I went and withdrew my bids.

We are sailing on the Norwegian Sky on the 2nd of Nov. I realized that there's very, very few cabins on this ship above Oceanview that can accommodate four people. All of the balconies are three people and many of the suites are too. I bid on a suite but not expecting to get it, as there are only two left that can accommodate our family. It's actually not a very full ship, lots of balconies still available. Also there doesn't appear to be connecting balconies or oceanviews on this ship? I'm beginning to think maybe I should've booked two balcony rooms, not sure if I can still change it at this stage.
