I understand. We all have different needs. I apologize.

Just close your eyes and sing along. Nice to be young again.

Please don't. How many more places on a cruise ship do you need to eat at?

What good is a cheap cruise if you can't take it?

I laugh all the time when people think they know. Who cares where the tips go. Cruise lines like hotels find extra way to increase the price. So you pay the price. If the cruise lines want to say the extra charge is DSC so be it. If they want to tell us how much it is, well that is good. If you want to think that DSC is the same as tips, you have the right to do so. And if at the end of the cruise you feel that you already paid tips, that is your right. And those of you that like to tip additionally, great. Having spent 25 years in the restaurant business, I know how hard it is to be in the customer service business. I'm a morning person. I even tip the deck hands who set up the lounge chairs every morning. Fantastic conversation watching the sunrise now that is excellent customer service. Or the same person every morning cleaning the handrails and elevators. Once again eye contact, a pleasant smile and a good morning. Great customer service. Give me great and personal customer service, I will find a way to say thank you. And then there were cruises I didn't tip extra. If you never use a service, why tip extra. I know who and how I tip and could care less how others do. Nobody knows and nobody cares. Maybe we can end this silly topic until someone complains again. Happy cruising.

I wish I could use the stairs. I have bad knees and have to use the elevator. I remember when my body worked five years ago. Now I use a cane. Next it will be a walker and then finally a Mario cart. I will just wait for the next one. Anybody on a cruise knows that all you do on a cruise is wait in line. Next, we can discuss how many more people can get into a full elevator when it stops at the next floor. There always seems to be room for three more people in a full elevator. Or hold the door to finish a conversation. Once again, I will wait for the next one. What else can I do.....complain.

And it is fun to watch the confused people.

Bring back the lifeboat drill.

So is this a sale or a deal?

Looks like a free cruise or FCC for those involved. NCL just can't catch a break. If it is a sandbar, iceberg or mechanical failure. Ship happens.

A deal is a deal. And you have to work to find the one that works for you. A sale may not be a deal. It is all about value. Have fun on your cruise. I know I will. Thank you for posting the cruises. There are some good deals but are they sales?

Already doing a 15 night LA to Miami Dec 2. As for the five night cruises, I need seven or more. The 12 night Jewel to Panama why. I'm doing the Bliss. What good is a good deal if you can't use it. So once again which cruise cheap cruise are you on. And as for corporate and finance, you only get the information they want you to know. It is all over my head. Just give me a good deal I can use.

Thank you. But I prefer the west coast and only one flight. Those deals just do not work for me. But at those prices those ships should sail full fast. Now lets talk Hawaii. Give us a deal there. Like I have mention before it is all about value. So which cruise are you sailing on?

Please inform. I like incredible cheap 7 day cruises. I just cannot find them. Maybe I will learn something because I am wrong. Where and when are these incredible cruises?

I'm still learning things on CC. Even with my sarcasm. I have taken many cruises since the restart Lots of changes from then until now. And with the lifting off pretty much all restriction maybe my Bliss cruise the month will be the first back to normal one. But the only way I learn is to be wrong. And I am wrong all the time.....Once

Duh. But what about me a Walmart shopper. We the people making the purchase still have to believe we are getting value. Most cruisers book and wait till their cruise. Only the few of us on CC know that you have to keep monitoring prices so to get better value. A different "sale" happens and the price went down. The more you cruise, hopefully the more value you get. Unless you booked the cabin next to you, the people on either side of you paid different prices under the same circumstances. So for the people who are waiting for the "sale" to purchase a cruise from NCL, you are just fooling yourselves. Do more research. So the next time someone says they saved ask them how much they spent. That is why CC is here for the newbies. They are just happy to be researching for a cruise at the best value for them.

I love it when people think they are saving money when they make a purchase. Sales never save people money. They get people to spend. I have no problem with people playing the lowest price possible. But the only way you actually "save money" is to not make the purchase. Keep it in the bank to acquire wealth. You buy something you are out finances. So you think you may have saved $2000 on that Haven cabin. But you forget to mention the $7000 out of your pocket. You saved nothing. You just made a purchase that was reasonable to you. Good for the people that think they saved. NCL is just waiting for the them again, again and again.

Why should there be sales? NCL can saying anything they want when it comes to prices to convince you to think it is a deal. NCL says sailing at about 80%. Why would they discount when they limit the number of cabins? Supply and demand. NCL will charge more closer to the sailing. Then NCL will always be willing to squeeze in another two cabins. Then NCL increases to 85%. Still no sales. Cruisers want to try to compare prices prior to covid. Not so more. More cruisers are coming back to take that cabin you are interested in. If you see a price you like then book it. Like you would if you were to purchase a new TV or appliance. You buy it you don't wait. So people put down that deposit. If not you will just have to wait and wish for prices to come down. I have know idea what kind of budget you all have but I bet it is different than mine. There is always the next cruise at a price that I think is reasonable and of value.

I don't know what happened. Apparently my why isn't a popular way for those that are retired. Most cruisers are willing to wait. Maybe you should put down a few deposits first. Not me. I just go. Like I have mentioned.....Off to and through the Panama Canal. Welcome to anytime cruising. May your journeys be many.

The journeys continue. Happy cruising

I start with VTG. They will sometimes give singles prices. Then I go to other web sites, do a mock booking with 1 cruiser. But there really is no easy way to get all singles prices.

Because it is a "want" not a need. I want a lot of things. I need only a few. Itineraries tend to duplicate. I not a trans Atlantic or a reposition type cruiser. Keep me in the northern hemisphere.

If I miss the cruise I think I may want. Oh well. There is always the next week.

I like your style. You got me beat. Since October 2021 I have 88 sea days on four different lines. Next December 2 Panama Canal. That will put over 100.
