CleverFirst Posted January 25, 2018 #2351 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Oh she looks beautiful! Does anyone have any guess on if the Observation Lounge will serve coffee in the mornings? It shows the included bar in artist renderings, which looks gorgeous. Just hoping there's drinks for all time of day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Diego Cruizer Posted January 25, 2018 #2352 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I read somewhere a while back ( and I'll be darned if I can find it again) that food will be available in the Observation Lounge. I am going to do some research and see if I can find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to do some research and see if I can find it again. Here’s what NCL website says: “Experience sheer awe from our 180-degree indoor Observation Lounge – offering Norwegian’s most expansive views at sea. More than 3,500 square feet of floor-to-ceiling windows provide spectacular vistas while cruising past snow-capped mountains. Take time to relax with a complimentary bite to eat morning, noon and night. Interactive screens will help identify every incredible view, whether the glaciers of Alaska or the pristine beaches of The Caribbean. And with a full-service bar, you can toast colorful sunsets with your favorite cocktail.“ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

$hip$hape Posted January 25, 2018 #2356 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Very true. We are hoping the Havens private observation lounge will be much less so and a real justification for the cost. Yes. WE (non-Havens) are also hoping that the Havens stay in place. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansMotion Posted January 25, 2018 #2357 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Very true. We are hoping the Havens private observation lounge will be much less so and a real justification for the cost. Ditto! A small fortune and still going up. Our room rate went up $600.00 since we booked it. Glad I booked it when I did.

OceansMotion Posted January 25, 2018 #2359 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I didn’t say it was the largest, only that it went up.

TheDougOut Posted January 25, 2018 #2360 Share Posted January 25, 2018 TBH, a $600 increase isn't the largest I've seen.:o I don’t think it’s been mentioned in this thread... but the inaugural transatlantic saw a bizarre price hike a few weeks back. My MA went from 1869pp to 3169pp... a $1300 jump. Why bizarre? Because the ship is only 60% full. Is this some price manipulation around final payment time? Is NCL purposely deterring additional bookings (fear of a delay)? No idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCL has found "bizarre" pax will book, thinking the may miss out on a Bliss Inaugural Trans-Atlantic Cruise, will book at this late time.

Nobody is booking at the high rates. Edit: as someone on our roll call pointed out, many of his friends that would normally be on the TA opted for the Panama crossing instead. I suspect that’s had a measurable impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldgoat61 Posted January 25, 2018 #2365 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The prices are way too high. I'm on the PC cruise this May, and have an aft facing cabin.

Rare Tom-n-Cheryl Posted January 25, 2018 #2367 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The prices are way too high. I'm on the PC cruise this May, and have an aft facing cabin. Just looked a moment ago and 1 cabin is available for $2200 more than I paid when they first opened up. I booked a PC cruise for spring '19 when they first opened up, and snagged an H2. The prices have really spiked since then. Currently, the lowest priced Haven suite (H8 - Connecting Haven Stateroom) is SIXTEEN GRAND for two people. I can't imagine what an H2 would go for now if the other one opened back up... perhaps THIRTY ?? !! When Celebrity first started their bookings for the Edge, I contemplated booking one of the two types of top suites. I thought the prices were high (at 20K+), and passed on it. Within a few weeks some of the top suites were over FORTY grand for a week (for two people). They must know something... or at least hope that there's enough people who wouldn't blink at that to fill some of those cabins. Either that, or some folks will be in line for sweet upgrades... errr... upsells ! Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking at a $10k suite and during the same week, the Iconic Suite was $43k....and no go-karts. For $40k, I should get my own personal drone to fly me around the ship. They can call it "The REAL Magic Carpet".:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
