SeaShark Posted August 16, 2016 #5 Share Posted August 16, 2016 NCL invites suite guests to breakfast in Cagney's on the Spirit, but the suite guest isn't permitted to extend that invitation to others. If a suite guest wishes to dine with other non-suite guests, there is nothing stopping them from dining together in the MDR or the buffet. Problem solved.

Rare BirdTravels Posted August 16, 2016 #6 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Cozy it is! Thanks. Cozy,,,, not so much. If the crew is doing their job, they would prohibit it. Takes away resources from paying guests. Recommend going over to the buffet with your non-suite guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are saying if I'm booked in the Haven I can join non Haven guests at the buffet or MDR ?? Joking of course .....its just nobody ever presents this scenario Edited August 16, 2016 by dlynn0366 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joking of course .....its just nobody ever presents this scenario It all depends on what the "real" issue is, doesn't it? If the haven guest is looking for a way to dine with the non-haven guest, then yes...simply join them in the MDR or buffet. However, if the "real" issue is finding a way to give haven benefits to guests who have not paid for them, then the haven guest might try to invite them in, despite how inappropriate that would be.

I always wanted to ask those suite guest who want to bring non-suite guest to Cagney's for breakfast or lunch how they would feel if everyone was able to do this and then they would have to wait for a table, because everyone wanted to eat in their with their friends. I wonder if they would feel that they were getting what they paid for!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Linda the Book Lover Posted August 17, 2016 #15 Share Posted August 17, 2016 We stay in suites and we traveled with friends who booked a mini suite. I suggested they run the Meet & Greet as sometimes the Captain "gifts" the organizer and spouse/travel partner with some suite amenities. They did and the Captain did grant the suite gift. I have to admit it is a great idea because years ago we did that and we got hooked. We have been sailing in suites since. :D I have run a M&G staying in a suite as no one seemed to want to do it and I really do enjoy the fun. Alas no extras if you are already booked in a suite LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to see someone who is not in a suite set up the meet and greet, but I don't like when some get aggressive about wanting to be the organizer.

Alas no extras if you are already booked in a suite LOL A delicate matter at the most - "BUT" there are cruise officials; you have made note of the Captain - there is one other ranking official with 4 bars on the shoulder - the Hotel Director as well as the cruise concierge who can make most anything happen. You are in a suite as a solo - I am sure that you could invite a SOLO guest since you are paying double occupancy besides a table for two is so much more entertaining than one. Convincing argument ? Now bump this up a notch for two or three guests - you are tilting out of the grey area where some official intervention would be necessary for perhaps a one time event. Certainly not all 7 days of a 7 day cruise. Any more folks and it just makes sense to inquire of the aft MDR Matri-d for a private section in a corner for a party of 4 or more. The food and service will be pretty much the same maybe missing the ambience. Possible though for getting your crowd in Cagneys late in the morning when Cagneys would be almost if not empty due to the bulk of the eligible folks being off ship on a popular shore excursion - doesn't make a lot sense to have all the staff and food available and no one to wait on. Run this one by the Concierge for a one time event with a favorable tip. Being a Latitudes repeat customer may not merit any consideration but then like the casinos - if you are high roller of record - well then NCL wants you back maybe not at the 76 point level but 500 or more is not something to just pass off the cuff ! With the present corporate management the lid may be on real tightly for the crew to offer extra attention and amenities - - - "BUT YOU WILL NEVER KNOW UNLESS YOU ASK - NOTHING VENTURED NOTHING GAINED " !

Rare Lupush Posted August 17, 2016 #19 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You can have guests in the restaurant for $25 per person. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonyte Posted August 17, 2016 #20 Share Posted August 17, 2016 You can have guests in the restaurant for $25 per person. AFAIK that applies to the Haven restaurant for dinner, not to older ships where there is no dedicated dinner restaurant for VIPs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinkr2 Posted August 17, 2016 #21 Share Posted August 17, 2016 And that 25 option is gone now also, at least on getaway. We were told no when we enquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still appears on page 15 of the welcome e-book they send to Haven guests. http://ncl.com/welcomethehaven That is still the outdated book they had when we went in December 2015 and March 2016 which is signed by Sheehan. Other things still wrong/changed = surcharges listed at 15%. They also had the old DSC amount in the brochure last I checked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
