This time, he was way ahead of me on that hours long CruiseNext line to sign up for Latitudes perks. NCL has to find a better way to welcome its most loyal passengers.

CC meet and greet had about 50% attendance, slot pull schedule in a hour. I thought it was interesting that the GM mentioned that our delay in departure time from Lisbon was due to the port’s enforcement of ESTA and not due to the pilot strike. It did not seem to be as much of an issue when I departed from Southampton on the Getaway TA a few weeks ago. Now I am wondering whether this will be an issue departing on the Gem TA from Rome. And starting next year, I wonder how much the new EU ETIAS requirement will affect the transatlantic crossings from the US to Europe. Still remember what a fiasco it was on the first few cruises to Bermuda during the restart when testing and authorizations were in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare JIMESOPUS Posted November 17, 2023 Author #204 Share Posted November 17, 2023 slot pull was a success, almost double our entry money. Cookie monsters must have disembarked in Lisbon, plenty of cookies in the Observation lounge today. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sugar Magnolia Posted November 19, 2023 #219 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Surprisingly, there are seats available at the Observation Lounge on a sea day. However, some might wish to reconsider. There were more than a few who placed their bare feet on the tables and chairs.
