So it didn't go well?  Who would have thought! 

Shareholders won't be happy.  

Should not have allowed that American on. 

I wouldn't count on it, despite cruise lines chomping at the bit eager to sail.

Disappointment is one thing, expecting something in compensation is a whole different topic.

They are different.  And I for one support the OP in both. 

What a lousy cruise you received!   Can't blame you for being upset.  

Others are right, NCL would raise the price and then give you a sale of the century.  That's how it works.

I have no problem seeing the itinerary, with details.  Click on "Explore This Itineray"

 

Is there a way to see the itineraries with port hours simply listed without clicking through all that day 1 day 2 etc?  

To remove and give the cash equivalents to the servers will be my plan going forward.   

Some cards won't give you any rewards not even the base 1% because gift cards are considered cash equivalents and they have it in their fine prints that cash equivalents don't qualify for any rewards.  Some Amex cards are like that.

We originally booked for May 11 and after receiving the confirmation saw that this cruise  date was for 2 nights in St George/1 night in Hamilton so we changed to the May 4 cruise with 2 nights in Hamilton/1night in St George.

May 11 goes to St George first and then Hamilton, the only one doing it in that order.  

There is no easy way on Royal's site to see itineraries.  You are better off going on a TA site.  

Royal's site is most likely written by the same idiots who did the software for 747 Max. 

It has Diamond events but no real Diamond lounge.  

It's the best port situated to visit Chichen Itza. 

Book excursions in Belize and you will be fine.  As for Mo Bay you can make it an easy beach day.  

Congrats!  It won't be long before the next level. 

These days it's quite possible to reach diamond with 3 work friendly length cruises.   Heck if you do solo, 2 might just do it!

MDR  certainly you realize how good or bad the food is depends on each individual's taste. Though we do not eat often in the MDRs I would not say the food is bad. Our problem is more the service, but the food is pretty much what one would expect now days. Not to mention there are many places to eat on the ship that do not require paying extra. I am a believer in each person deciding for themselves what is the best way to spend their money.  For some it is specialty dining, some the spa, some excursions and others do not spend anything extra and still have a good cruise. 

So I reckon you understand many do not share your opinion the MDR food is not bad.  

Norwegian has inflated excursion prices to offset their "free" shore excursion credit of $50.  Book with that in mind.  

If you did not choose that "free" credit, I would suggest going independent. 

The only justification is because the included food is so bad, not because the extra cost food is anything special. 

Not on Nickel and Dime cruise line.  Nope.

The day of the cruise?  Would you chance a 4 or 5 hr ride in late summer?  Considering options. TIA

The longest I did was 4 hours. 

Start early and have a reliable car and an alternative route planned and you should be fine. 

Last names don't matter at all legally, it is the fact you are traveling without the other parent who may or may not share custody, so you may have to prove your sole custody or the other parent's consent. 

If last name by itself decided legal rights a stranger who happens to have the same name would have more rights than a parent who doesn't.  You see how stupid how that would be?  

That said my kids take my last name instead of my husband's so if by any chance should an idiotic officer decide matching last name should be the determining factor I wouldn't have to worry about it. 

Normal Royal Up are guarantees and will not ask for any specific cabin.  Sounds like someone wants that cabin specifically and is willing to pay for it.  

The name itself isn't important legally, otherwise a stranger who happens to have the same last name would have more rights than you.  Technically you will need a letter from the other parent even if you have the same name, or you can prove you have sole custody.  But normally they don't scrutinize unless they have a reason to. 

Another tidbit, if you have OBC from your TA it won't show up in your cruise planner.
