I'm not sure how all cruiselines work with insurance but I had this happen with NCL. I got there coverage for cancel for any reason at the 75% amount. I did cancel for a noncovered reason. I filed and it took 2 or 3 months for NCL to let me rebook. When I went to rebook I had picked either a guarantee or a sailaway. Anyway, they said I had to book a cabin that had a number on it or I couldn't use my reimbursement. Just a heads up for anyone who needs to know. I'm sure it is in the small print somewhere, but I didn't look.

Just received a decline for NCL Bliss for August 4th out of Seattle. Bid on inside stateroom to ocean view at $50 and balcony stateroom at $210

 

You can guess which one I was gunning for - no worries it will still be a great cruise!

We went from an interior to a balcony with a bid of $75 on the Jade.

That looks very different from what I am seeing. I am still seeing the dials that show poor, fair, etc. with red, orange, yellow, and green. I wonder if what you are seeing is the mobile version, since that screenshot looks like it's from a phone?

Sorry it was bad news. They must have been pretty low on inventory for balconies, because $200 pp seems like a pretty decent bid. Had you been tracking inventory at all via mock bookings?

Redesigned since when? It looks the same today as it looked back before my February cruise.

I just checked the site for bidding. Looks like they redesigned it. Anyone see it yet?

I've heard that NCL does whatever it takes to get you in front of the slot machines as fast as humanly possible. plus the casino line would most likely be shorter de to the fact of less gamblers with a high status..

 

good luck!!

We were on the Escape out of New York in May. Platinums had roped off area and cards were number 1.

Don't kid yourself, the brands are all constructed the same way. People do not breath hard enough to clear the CO2 from the masks. These devices are simply dangerous.

Because of this thread and the fact that I own a full face mask, I decided to do some more research. I stumbled on some great YouTube videos discussing proper usage and why people are having issues with them. One video illustrated how the mask works - co2 and oxygen flow through different tubes. What I got from these videos is that these masks are meant for light use, they are not intended for intense activities where you may experience heavy breathing, and that inferior ,aka knock-off brands may not be built right to ensure proper removal of co2.

 

I will continue to use this mask and am grateful for the information. I suggest researching the brand to ensure that it is designed properly, watching some videos, and spending some time at home getting comfortable walking around in your mask.

Yes. They had to pull me out. Embarrassing but better than drowning.

Yes, I agree, better than drowning but very scary! Thanks for your reply.

I have snorkeled several times with regular gear and bought a Seaview 180 full face mask. First few times I used it was in still water with no problems. Third time was in Bonaire in rough water and current. Found myself hyperventilating and panicing. I have sinus problems and tend to breath thru my mouth. Consequently, in retrospect I believe I experienced the problems some experience with CO2 buildup in the full face mask. Have now gone back to regular mask and snorkel.

Hi all! This is our first cruise on NCL, and my first cruise in nearly 20 years!

I just put in a bid (exactly at 80 days, I'm eager) for an H7. I'm afraid it's a bit too low, so I'm hoping that ship capacity, being hurricane season, may be lower.

ANYWAY! My question is, am I able to bid on 2 upgrades at once? Has anyone ever done this before? If so, is it possible for both bids to be accepted? I cannot decide between the two options, and I kind of want to leave it to fate if one is accepted... :o:o:o

For anyone following or interested...I booked the premium wi-fi online for $206...on the ship it would have been $245. A good savings if you need/want it.

Thank you both!!!![emoji4]

Yes, you can use it on as many devices as you want, but only 1 can be logged in at once. It can be a pain if someone forgets to log out.

Rather than the balcony sticking out from the ships superstructure and having a railing, the balcony is contained within the ship and the rail is steel and solid. The view out is through an opening in the ships structure.

Searching through the old thread, it looks like there have been a few upgrades won on the Bliss. I know a TON of people won upgrades on the Trans Atlantic, but they only sail at about 60% capacity for the inaugural TAs, so there was plenty of room to upgrade. It seems like the current Alaskan Bliss cruises are selling out, which means upgrades are far less likely (though not impossible due to last minute cancellations and such). I would say, if you are sailing on the Bliss in the near future, go ahead an book the stateroom you want outright, because upgrades will be few and far between.

You and Janice will love Alaska. We have gone on two Alaska cruises, one 5 years ago with our friends and last August with my son from Chicago and my daughter-in-laws' family. In Skaway, they have a train that goes up the mountain. It is a little expensive but it is worth the money. I have a niece that has been living in Nome for the last 7 years. She is moving back to Wisconsin in Sept. She is an eye doctor.

Has anyone received an upgrade offer on the Bliss or read about it on this thread?TIA[emoji4]
