  1. Thank you all. I just need the luggage tags. I dont care about the efocs since i already have the express passes.
  2. I finished check in yesterday and i got my express pass. I tried to download edocs and luggage tags on the site but all i get is forbidden error code 403 and not found. Anyone had the same issue recently? I habe already emailed my travel agent in order for her to forward me the documents but this is the first time this has happened to me. All payments are completed months ago.
  3. Thank you very much! I would appreciate if anyone can check the prices for me!!
  4. I need your help please. If anyone is onboard the edge now can you please check whether duty free cigarettes are sold onboard and if thats so, can you please share the price of a carton? I am coming to Australia by the end of the month and i just checked that i am allowed to bring to the country only 1 pack of cigarettes!!! Thats crazy! Thank you all very much.
  5. The epic is going to depart from Athens on the 20th of November. Most probable it wont be back at athens on the 27th from info that i got
  6. They are going to change the cruise not cancel it. They have already secured Athens port as embarkation point for the 20th November cruise. We just need to wait for the new itinerary
  7. Biggest advantage of the Escape is the waterfront in my opinion. One of the best design things NCL ever made and many lines tried to replicate
  8. Ncl unfortunately has cut down so much lately. NCL was very strong line on entertainment. This will cost them in the end..
  9. The logistics of changing embarkation port with short notice are huge. All cruiselines affected face the same issue currently. We need to have patience at the moment
  10. Most probable its going to arrive at Athens on the 20th. They just need to figure out where it goes from there. I have friends at the port of Athens and they told me that. We have to wait and see
  11. The crazy prices are on Icon at this moment but fortunately there are a lot of agencies that have very good group rates available. I scored an oceanview for 2 people with tax 2400 usd which is a great price for a brand new ship. We just need to look more than we used to in order to get a good rate not only at RCL but on any line at the moment
  12. When Del Rio took over the company everything changed. Its all about the money.
  13. Escape is one of the best ships of NCl in my opinion. Newer ship as well with more specialty dining offerings. I have cruised with both of them. I would choose Escape hands down
  14. Have you check Holland America have it all promos? They give you specialty dining there as well.Check also all included on celebrity, they will not give specialty dining but their beverage package is great, covering even coffees, bottle of water etc. For me the best value of NCL is their good latitudes offerings for platinum and above. I always enjoyed their 2 free specialty dinners. I love Cagneys.
  15. Let me rephrase. In contrast to Princess Celebrity HAL and even RCl, NCL is the worst value of money currently in my opinion and after having performed multiple booking searches on my future cruises
  16. I cant believe all the cutbacks that NCL has done. I cant believe that my once most beloved cruiseline has changed so much. I cant believe that i have booked 7 future cruises and none is on NCL. I always loved NCL but currently NCL is the worst value for money unfortunately. I really wish in the future to once again board on one of my most beloved ships just like the Bliss, Getaway, Pearl and so more. Currently the only thing that resembles the good old NCL is just the hull paint unfortunately…
  17. No free lobster anywhere. On royal night there is an option for grilled jumbo shrimp. We went for lunch on jamies and chops. These were like always top quality. Johny rockets was good also and playmakers. Main dining room quality was definitely not like it used to be but the service was top notch.Having disembarked now i can say that service was great everywhere on the ship. Crew very friendly, chatty and smiling at all times. Food quality though was the worst ive ever had on a RCL cruise. They are way behind NCL at this moment. NCL though has increased prices to the roof. I wish in the future when all lines pay their loans that RCL will revert back to good quality they used to have. I will check again on October ( 3 day rome barcelona symphony cruise) but all my other future cruises currently are booked on Celebrity until i see that RCL is back in the game
  18. Hi to all. I am currently onboard. Food on the main dining room is acceptable but not what it used to be. Service great overall but the food quality and options at the windjammer are the worst ive ever seen in all of my previous cruises. Huge cutbacks by RCL unfortunately
  19. I just saw it disappeared from the site. Its not bookable on any agency. Symphony is supposed to come out the drydock on the 14th and then resume sailing. I am worried its going to be the same case as was with Mariner of the Seas
  20. Few years ago it used to be for all nights included. I will never forget a 10 nights last minute canary cruise on the ncl epic booked aft balcony all included ( specialty beverage etc) for 1300 usd total price for a couple!! Back then no gratuity on the “free staff”.That was an insane deal back then and still today one of the best cruises ive ever had with NCL
  21. I am booked on November on the edge. Does anyone know captain and officers on board? Thank you all
  22. I really love NCL. Used to only cruise with them. Currently though i have only one cruise booked with NCL. A 10 night cruise on a balcony on Celebrity edge that i booked was cheaper than 7 nights on the Joy. Celebrity has way better food and service and still is cheaper. Even for New Zealand i booked on Royal Princess 13 nights cruise ( return from Sydney)on a balcony which was exactly half the money than if i booked Spirit which was by the way 12 nights repositioning to Auckland ( way higher airline fare). I believe that currently NCL has crazy prices for the experience they offer and this comes from someone that has done more than 15 cruises on NCL and almost 10 combined on all the other lines. Currently my first choice is Celebrity followed by Princess and Royal. I hope that in the future they will bring the prices back to a more acceptable level… I still enjoy extremely their product even though all the citbacks that started as soon as Sheenah left the company
  23. It seems that the issue is resolved. I can see the cruise available to book currently on ncl. Lots of availability is noticed as well on balcony staterooms. The price for aft BA balconies is very steep!! So lucky i got it when it was ok
  24. Thank you both for your responses.I am aware of the 150 discount. Most probably i will find the answer when i board. If anybody is onboard currently and has more specific info please share it with us.
