Hmmm, interesting 🤔. I can't see your URL bar. Are you in the US?

yes, this works real nice when you meet another solo platinum and above. You can take each other and you end up with 4 meals

you were able to get two entrees at once??? You're the first person I've seen that has been able to get that. congrats

Awesome

I also suggest double checking to see if the platinum perks will apply. seems like NCL is still treating this sailing as a charter

we're talking about when you do your initial cruise search:

yes, this is what I'm referring to. It's one of my goto meals on NCL, especially when they have the pesto sauce out

hmmm, good question. I don't know the answer, but if for any reason they won't let passengers 2, 3, or 4 use the CNC, they can just transfer the cert to passenger 1

Thanks. We got onto the omelet talk, but it's really the pasta and/or stir fry stations that I'm more interested in

I took my first cruise 12 years ago. Before then, I wasn't interested in cruising because I didn't want to "dress up" for dinner (or anything), and I didn't want to be assigned a dinner time and table with strangers. I then heard about NCL and freestyle dining, and I said that is for me. After 9 cruises with NCL, I'm branching out and trying new lines, starting with MSC in June. I'm not looking forward to the assigned dining, but I'm going to at least give it a try. I suspect I will eat most of my meals in the buffet.

wonderful to hear.

yes. This is one of those weird ones with NCL. The benefit is technically for the cabin so it's assigned to the cabin of the stockholder. They will split the benefit between passengers one and two, though. Not generally a problem with most as they are spouses or spouse-like, and probably have one shared account anyway. It becomes an issue when friends are traveling together and the stockholder realizes that half their benefit has been given to the other person. Now they have to work out a way to be "paid back"

yeah, I agree. but any reason to deny the claim..... 🙂

I've read that they always split the OBC, no matter if they shares are held jointly or not.

hmmm, interesting. I never thought of it before, but would this be considered a cancelled flight for the purposes of insurance? The flight itself was not cancelled. The OP was changed to another flight.

You can use one. Yes, it lowers your payment amount. Your cruise has to be at least 4 months out from the date you purchase the certificate

I was thinking the same as this has not been my experience with NCL. I've never been on the epic, mainly because of the bathroom configuration in the cabins

wow. thanks for everyone who pointed out no omelet station. I just figured that was standard. Not that I'm a huge omelet fan or anything, but I do usually get my scrambled eggs made to order if the eggs in the buffet are wet and runny

for any of my casino friends that have done a 10 day sailing (or possibly longer) that is actually two cruises booked together, did you points accumulation continue for the duration of your time on the ship, or did it reset after the first leg? My 10 day cruise is 1 3 day followed by a 7 day. I know you can earn free cruises based on your points earned.

ahhh, it's the very reason why I asked. I really like the pasta station at the NCL buffet.

does MSC, especially the Seashore, have made to order stations in the buffet for lunch/dinner? I'm thinking pasta station, stir fry, or noodle bar. I'm assuming they have omelet/egg stations at breakfast

I've done it within a week and received it before boarding

How many drinks have I had? 😂😂😂

NCL changing a person's flight has everything to do with it. They are the travel agent in this situation. I'm guessing you responded before reading all that I posted

the next section on their site speaks on if your tickets are bought thru a travel agent, which I would think NCL is the travel agent in this situation. It says you are entitled to a refund. But, their rules apply to flights within the US or has a leg within the US. I'll say again, I'm not speaking from any personal experience. I'm just googling. My opinion is just that, and I have no expertise whatsoever in the matter
