Since you are traveling solo, you would not have a "2nd guest" to receive the $50 shore excursion credit from FAS Plus! With the regular Free at Sea you would receive $50 off each excursion you take. For example, if you were to book an excursion that takes place in the morning, you could potentially book another excursion, for the same port, IF there is at least one hour+ between them. Excursions (such as the Sky Lift in St Thomas) that are not time specific, can be booked along with other excursions and each excursion receives $50 credit. Hopefully this helped answer your question.

If requested! Butlers do not just show-up with those things. Be sure to let your butler know if/when/what you might care to have for breakfast, lunch, dinner to be delivered.

Opinions on Cagneys vs LA Bistro on Escape?
ggTexasGal replied to breadandbutter's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Le Bistro "should be" more quite and refined dining. For us, Cagney's is okay as well... just a different atmosphere. I find all restaurants to be loud, which does not prevent me from going to them. -

NCL internet can also be tricky sometimes. Everyone can use the single account, however, you would need to log-out first device to log into a different device. You need the App on your phone and computer separately, but could switch between them after logging in and out. Instructions for connecting are available in the Freestyle Daily, and on notifications in the staterooms. If you can wait a day, or two, before connecting, the cost of a package does go down. (Cost is based on length of cruise.)

Thank you for this update! I'm sorry it did not work out for you.

NCL Escape Sept. 2024 excursion advice!
ggTexasGal replied to B. Henderson's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You could go here: https://boards.cruisecritic.com/forum/2-ports-of-call/ Select your ports and read advice given by previous cruisers. -
Because you are in the Haven, your butler will be taking care of replenishing your supply of coffee pods daily. You may request heavy cream to be placed in your mini fridge. You will not need to go outside of your room to fetch her coffee!

NCL Promo Code list - Past and present
ggTexasGal replied to WillCruiseForMoney's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You would need to book your cruise during a promotional period that offers the extra points. (Often, there are some restrictions. Therefore if you see it, be certain to read the Terms and Conditions. -
Shore excursion/Latitude discounts
ggTexasGal replied to elliotlake12's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It should! I hope that you encounter no problems. You could call, or visit the onboard ShorEx desk, if you you do have any discrepancies. -
Shore excursion/Latitude discounts
ggTexasGal replied to elliotlake12's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
You both will receive your Latitudes discounts. -
You do not have to choose which restaurant(s), or when, you will utilize those FAS credits pre-cruise (can be done onboard). When you select the Free at Sea promotion, your booking has service charges applied to your invoice. If you decide that you don't want the Specialty Dining, &/OR, the Beverage Package to be included, you can cancel either of those items pre-cruise. HOWEVER, if you decide you don't want something, it is best to cancel those items 3+ days prior to your cruise date.

Ports with no Shore Excursions Offered by NCL
ggTexasGal replied to Scurrent's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
If you are planning to use OBC for excursions, you will need to book ONBOARD in order to use any OBC! (Excursion credits themselves are considered NON-REFUNDLE by NCL.) Or, if/when shore excursions become available online, you could pre-book, and pay the full costs, but have your price adjusted once you are onboard. The amount you had pre-paid should then be adjusted to your ONBOARD ACCOUNT as "Refundable Onboard Credit," and if unused onboard, should be given to you as cash before disembarkation. -
Group bookings can end-up looking similar, yet different, from NCL's regular Free at Sea. The OBC choice isn't typical (currently/recently) with the general NCL Free At Sea bookings. The number of rooms pretty much indicated that you were booked in a Group.

NCL Customer Experience on Israel issue.
ggTexasGal replied to Golfgalag's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
😕 NCL Cruise line, or, Norwegian Airline? -
It seems that you had a GROUP BOOKING. If that was the case, the flexibility (options) would definitely be different than those booking fewer than 5+ staterooms (a group)!
-
With the Pre-cruise Concierge, you may request things . Requesting them does not necessarily guarantee that you will receive everything you requested. However, repeating your wants, once onboard, will more likely present best results.
-
Possibly you can find your information on your NCL Confirmation. There are codes at the top that cover what promotions your booking had at that time. ( In a different Cruise Critic post current/previous NCL codes are listed. Have you logged into your MY NCL and thoroughly looked at your cruise history/points?

Your analogy sounds very much like we ours. It seems like a great concept (up front), but too much sugar made most of them just wasteful!

Thermal Spa Pass Cost on 7-day Viva / Prima
ggTexasGal replied to moto_italia's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Yes, NCL has decided to eliminate the "Spa rooms" on the ships for the future. However, since your cruise was booked earlier, you still retain the Spa access, and any amenities that were included, at the time of your booking. NCL renaming the room did not change (nor eliminate) your booking amenities. -
More Viva Questions—just booked Haven

I do not know for certain, however, probably like, or very similar to most ships Haven Restaurant. Breakfast hours: 7:00am - 9:30am varies by port Lunch hours: 12:00pm - 2:00pm Dinner hours: 5:30pm - 9:30pm -
Free At Sea Excursion Credit on Harvest Caye
ggTexasGal replied to GleeFrog's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
Perhaps I'm not quite understanding. However, I'm going to answer with the following: 1) Go visit the Shore Excursion Desk on the ship before heading out to the island. If the excursion you want is available, they will allow your excursion credit and bill your onboard account for any balance. However: Excursions credit may not be used for Stand-Up Paddleboards or Kayaks (NCL considers these to be equipment). I hope this info helps you.
