How is refundable obc refunded?  Is it returned to your credit card?

There are 2 options. You can visit the onboard credit desk on the final evening and get cash, or a few weeks after the cruise receive a check in the mail. 

We were on the Star a few weeks ago. If you had leftover refundable OBC the refunded it in cash, not on your credit card. When swiping your card off the ship, it would sound an alarm if you had remaining OBC. They pulled you out of line and the gave it to you in cash, from the guest service rep who had a desk next to security.

I have the same problem. I was able to book 2 night without issue. When I tried the 3rd, it was ok until the last step where it showed my cart as empty. 😞

Check with your travel agent or NCL. This cruise has already been cancelled.

Oh, I know it's cancelled, thanks to to info gathered here! I was just saying that I wasn't notified and neither was my travel agent. I've already moved my booking to another cruise.

We're supposed to be on the Nov 12th cruise out of Singapore to Thailand, Myanmar, and Malaysia and haven't heard anything yet. We loved the itinerary and love the Spirit and were looking forward to sailing on it after the refurb.

Ours took just over a week for 2 cabins.

Our favorite entertainer was comedian, Tim Kaminski

We have a June 11th Bermuda cruise on the Encore, we're just waiting for the obvious cancellation. Our next NCL cruise is Panama Canal next November and hoping things are much better then. We also have an Antarctica cruise for this Christmas and are really keeping our fingers crossed!

We just got back from a VIP cruise. It is actually free with no pressure at all, to buy anything. We were treated vet well by the staff.

I don't have any pics, but go to YouTube and search "Norwegian Spirit"....There are countless videos that people have uploaded about the ship. Enjoy your cruise!!

We've seen this FREE show 3 times....Don't miss it!!

Edited it to say: We've seen this show "FREE" in the Main Theater, not the Supper Club. It appears the Supper Club has an "upcharge."

Just a note that your non-alcohol drink will turn from a slushie to an ice pop.

We were on the Epic last month and had 14118, a spa mini, with a HUGE balcony. It's the only one like it. We booked it after checking it out on YouTube. Here's the link:

When we stop in known "pickpocket ports" I keep an empty wallet in my back pocket. I figure let the thieves try to steal something of zero value, while my money is in a pouch under my shirt. Still haven't had my pocket picked yet.

I always give a merchant ONE opportunity to correct THEIR mistake. If it's not fixed in a timely manner, I dispute the charge with my Credit Card Company. Always seems to work.

Great pics Old Nutter!! We were on this cruise and watched as the woman strolled out of the tunnel, without a care in the world. Then she realized that it was almost an hour after "all aboard" and started running. We were also curious how much this may have cost her. I understand the tugboat, Faithful, does this free of charge in Bermuda.

The Ice Bar is kept at 17 degrees Fahrenheit. It costs $20 and includes 2 drinks.

He is currently home in Mexico and joining the Gem on March 2nd.

We've found both Pedro and Gio to be our favorites. Not "Over the Top" while doing their job, and very down to earth when seeing them around the ship.

I had the same problem on our upcoming Epic cruise. I read in another thread if you have a show booked, no dinner availability will show. Sure enough, I called and there was wide open availability. Call in.

Tim Kaminski puts on a great show and is also a very nice guy. We're always hoping to cruise with him again.

whats the best way to do a bed bug check? I was in Florida about 3 months ago in a Disney hotel and my room had bed bugs. I was literally traumatized (I wont go into what happened immediately after and upon my return to NYC but let's say, it was awful) by this and had I known, I would not have booked my upcoming (as in this Sunday) Breakaway cruise.

This is pretty much what we do whenever we check into a hotel room or ship cabin. Over the counter sprays will kill them "on contact" but you need commercial chemicals to kill them when they're hidden. You sure don't want to bring them home with you.

The bed bug situation is a concern for us. We're in a nearby cabin on our upcoming cruise. We always do a bed bug check whenever we check into a hotel or ship. We'll certainly give it a close inspection this time.

Sign up for ParkRight emails. I've gotten some good and some so-so coupons over the last few years. I've also used them for some non-cruise parking.

We usually park at Park Right on 43rd St. It's $28 a day and valet. You can walk or they will drop you off at the pier in your car. Also reimburse you the $5 cab for the ride back from the ship. You call with your tag number and they have your car waiting for you. We're going on the Gem next month and we have a 20% coupon for parking at the pier, so we'll be parking there this time. Have a great cruise!!

Thanks for the heads up. I saved $500 on my Epic Spa Mini next March!!
