Rare PATRLR Posted July 16, 2022 #1 Share Posted July 16, 2022 For my upcoming cruise, I do not have the free at sea perks, I have not yet purchased a dining package (although I intend to). I made my reservations last night and the mail I got is shown below. Its probably nothing, but if there is one thing I've learned here on CC it is to not make assumptions or take anything for granted. So, should I be concerned that one of those says "a la cart" and one does not? My intention is to have an SDP before we board, just haven't purchased it yet.

purplecow15 Posted July 16, 2022 #3 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Were you not offered the free at sea dining package? Haven’t seen any cruise without that offer lately is why I’m asking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare 1025cruise Posted July 16, 2022 #5 Share Posted July 16, 2022 That's fine. Once you buy the package, when you go to the restaurants they will see you have the package. For Cagneys, you can get one app, one soup/salad (or two if no app), one entree, two sides, and one dessert per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After adding in the cost of a handful of drinks, the dining package, etc, we saved about $600 21 minutes ago, shof515 said: if you book a sail away cabin, they do not have the free at sea perks Actually, our fair was not a Sail Away. But, until I saw this one, I'd never seen one without perks that wasn't Sail Away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've done several cruises now and have always had category BB cabins & they've always had all the FAS perks offered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I was surprised at how cheap this was (pretty much same as Sail Away) but we got to choose our cabin. I'm kinda hoping that NCL realizes there was a glitch and they fix it by giving me all the perks ;). Yeah, I know, no chance of that happening, but, I can hope can't I? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just did a mock booking, and it comes up with all 4 FAS offers included. (You'd have to uncheck all the boxes by hand to make them go away.) I would definitely follow up on it ASAP. Good luck! PS: We LOVED the Encore! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are charged $20 per day per person for gratuities, but you also pay extra for your room (they increase your rate). We booked a 10 day cruise, it was going to cost us $400 In gratuities and also $400 extra for our room. I don't think I we will drink $800 worth of alcohol in 10 days.
