What is so Exclusive about a Repeaters party? LOL

This is different than the so called repeaters party. Some cruise lines have a special cocktail party for the higher levels such as Platinum & above. I know the Haven has a Cocktail Party once each cruise in the Haven.

Do they have a Top Tier Party? We had CC M&G Party on NCL JOY attended by Senior Officers in Nov 2021. Covid 19 was around then.

Homard Thermidor

French Restaurant LaBistro.

Surprised that Lobster Thermador is an additional $25. Was not an upcharge on RCI.

This is so funny! When we had Formal nights people complained. Now we have to discuss shorts/long pants. What do they complain about on an all natural cruise? LOL

Yes, we got ours. Maybe some people didn't get theirs.

You are correct. One other point to add is some countries require additional requirements such as Canada. Canada requires a pre test and ArriveCan info.

So, do you think everyone else is clear? When NCL says 2 days is the earliest, that is very clear. Reread your quote above.

Too .any people are asking the same question instead of reading NCL. Too many people providing their interpretation instead of following NCL rules. JMHO

I believe most cruise lines are doing this, too. Not sure about Carnival as never been on it. NCL has the Local or O'Sheanhans 24 hours.

What Celebrity ships have you been on to go to bed at 10? LOL HAL - Yes!

We returned to cruising in Sept 2021 and did a B2B on Celebrity Edge. Then a B2B in Nov on the NCL JOY. In 2022 we went B2B on the RCI Oasis and then in July B2B on the MSC Seashore. Never wore masks on any of those ships and were never required, too. Only the crews wore masks. Yes, we are going on the NCL BREAKAWAY B2B in Sep, NCL Prima 2x and Celebrity Apex this year. Hope all stay Safe and enjoy their cruises.

FYI - I am doubled vaxed and boosted, Too. So, if anyone just read your #10 post, they would assume you only needed to be doubled vaxed and boosted. Read how many postings are about this. So many misconceptions. Relax, I just added an additional qualifier to this subject. People don't know what the OP knows. SMH

NCL must follow Canada C19 requirements. If you are cruising from the USA to Canada and fully vaccinated NCL must follow Canada C19 requirements. If you are cruising from the USA to Canada and fully vaccinated. 1. C19 test required3 or 2 days before you board. 2. Board a ship in USA and have a port stop in Canada you are required to complete ArriveCan within 72 hours of boarding ship. 3. If you are not fully vaccinated, stay home, you can not board the cruise.

Thanks for your clarification With all the cruise lines, nothing is always. Stay Safe and Happy Cruising!

You and I seem to read and interpret differently. That is what makes Social media a problem. We don't see the facial expressions or tone. If I rubbed the poster the wrong way, I would like to say 'Sorry.' Let's leave it at that.

Option? Yes, fully understand it. Pay for options? Yes, fully understand that, too. Been cruising MSC since Jan 2006 and continue to do so. Just got off Seashore in July 2022.

So, did I waste my time? LOL

Apparently I was not very clear in my posting. I am not looking for advice. I am stating an observation that I have seen over a period of time. People book a cruise. Then they question what they will get. However, you comments are appreciated. They provide info that others may use to fond amsers for their cruise selection. Thank you.

Do people do any homework before they book a cruise ? These CC forums are fantastic. However, should you not know certain important facts before you book? You may use a Travel Agent or the Cruise Line to book. Either one should be able to answer most of your questions. Recently, subjects have surfaced related to: Will this cabin be large enough for 4 or 6 people? Where will my children sleep, on a couch or bed? Will I get a beverage packages with my cabin? Etc. Cruise line ..... no longer requires a pre covid test. So, do I need one before I board my Cruise Line. Things change over night. Don't rely on any source and then think that is the correct answer for all Cruise lines Check with your cruise line/ TA. JMHO! STAY SAFE AND HAPPY CRUISING!

Doesn't any/all category provide the options for the drink and wifi packages? I believe they do. Bella does.
