    Posted

    We are on this week and the everyday menu items from the main dining rooms are also available in Luminae. They are not listed in the menu but the staff advised of the additional options, and yes, shrimp cocktail is always available at dinner.

    New to Celebrity - Evening Chic Question

    in Celebrity Cruises

    Posted · Edited by legalcruiser

    Hi all - first Celebrity cruise coming up on the Edge.  My *dear* 🤣 husband just had surgery on his arm.  He has to cruise  with a big stabilizing brace that cannot be taken off, which means he can only wear short sleeve button up shirts.  Pre-pandemic we mostly cruised NCL and this attire would have been fine.  Is he going to feel out of place/underdressed on Evening Chic nights?  We are staying in the Retreat if that makes a difference although we have several specialty reservations booked too.  Thank you!

    Bermuda - Shorex Credit

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Searched the boards and found conflicting answers. Cruise to Bermuda this summer with shorex credit as perk. T&Cs provide that "overnight stays count as one port, except Bermuda sailings which can receive up to 3 individual days of shore excursion credit." Can we use the $150 for one shore excursion or do we need to book 3 different shore excursions to use the entire credit (3 x $50)? Thank you!!

    Free at Sea with 2 Suites (Haven)

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted · Edited by legalcruiser

    Hi all - we decided too late to look at a Spring Break cruise and all Haven suites for 4 people are booked. We are thinking about booking 2 adjacent Haven suites (me, DH, DS (10), DD (7)). My kids won't need the beverage or SD perks, so I was going to book one cabin (me and DD) with all the FaS perks, and then the other cabin (DH, DS) with only the wifi and shorex perks. And then somehow adjusting cards/ specialty dining and beverage perks on board to align with the adults . Has anyone done this before? Otherwise we will have to pay for the service fees/taxes for all perks for both cabins (difference of ~$300) but SD and beverage will go unused. Thanks for any insight here!

    Haven portable phone

    It's about the size of an old style Nokia "candy-bar" phone, very similiar or same as those carried by NCL ship's officers.

     

     

     

    It's on the lower right corner of this (Getaway Haven suite) picture taken by one of our nieces 2 years ago, sitting on its charger base (zoom in on a desktop browser for a closeup)

    Haven portable phone

    Are there portable phones in the Haven cabins? Does anyone remember how big it is? Not sure that I want to lug it around but like the idea for splash academy emergencies. Trying to figure out whether it will fit in my purse. Thanks!

    Great Stirrup Cay - Haven Area

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Just off the Breakaway yesterday and they do have a reserved area for the Haven at GSC. However, it just a bunch of beach chairs no umbrellas and nothing more than that. The area for the Haven is super sunny hardly any shade so it's better to find some chairs under the trees. We got to the beach around 1:00 PM and there were lots of empty chairs at the Haven area and I don't think anyone is enforcing or people don't like to sit where there's no shade. So you can pretty much sit there if you want and the beach was never crowded. We left the beach around 4ish and the line was mile long to catch the tender and we waited for 40 mins to get on the tender.

     

     

    Thank you! Do you recall seeing any clamshells in the Haven area?

    Breakaway New Menus

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    Someone recently commented that the dining menus changed. I seem to recall that the upcharge items were removed from the MDR menus along with lobster in all dining venues (including SD and Haven). Does anyone from the last few sailings have menus to share/post? Thanks!

    Bidding for Haven/Upgrades

    in Norwegian Cruise Line

    Posted

    I think it varies. We found out at 27 days out but it seems like most are hearing the week of the cruise.

     

     

     

     

     

    We just got our upgrade from Mini-Suite to Haven Courtyard today!!

     

     

     

    We are 11 days from sailing (4/9) and our ship has been close to sold out for a month (Spring Break). That may be the only reason we found out a week earlier than normal. I think three to four days before a sailing is the norm.

     

     

     

    On our last cruise, we upsold to the Haven the "old fashioned way." We only paid $500 pp to upgrade from a balcony to at H5. This put the "bidding meter" in perspective. The starting bid they gave us was $400 for H7 and H5. Our accepted bid was in the low-fair range on the meter.

     

     

     

    Phew. I've spent the last 50 days obsessing over mock bookings and CC upgrade threads. What will I do with all this extra time?!?

     

     

    Congratulations! Now you can spend your time actually planning your time onboard! I suspect we heard fairly early bc it was a very competitive bid (right on the fair/good line) but we wanted it and were willing to pay (but still paid thousands less overall than going rates).
