Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 11 Author #101 Share Posted June 11 For our post cruise night in Venice, B's Hyatt credit card/friends & family rate combo strikes again. We've booked the Hyatt Centric Murano Venezia... it's an old converted Murano glass factory! Hyatt Centrics are very cool properties in that they're in the "center" (get it?) of the destination and are usually a bit quirky and have local touches. We (well, I... B got a big time cold and felt like garbage) loved the Centric in Miami after our Celebration NYE cruise. Looking forward to this. 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retired-N-Happy Posted June 11 #103 Share Posted June 11 Did you find out if 🦬 Trace is available on the basic drink package on NCL? Or will you need to substitute something else? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just put a great big smile on Paul's face. He can have a trace with zero in one hand and a beer in the other since NCL allows ordering two at a time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the water, energy drinks, and specialty coffees, but the price is right and I don't mind buying those individually as I need 'em. 790164-BEV_Package_Flyer_UOBP_PPBP Update_V7_no_crops.pdf Edited June 11 by TxTeach79 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We sail at 10p, but unfortunately so does Norwegian Epic and all 4,000 of her pax.... 😬 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look around and see 3 or more consider your options. One, just go ashore and walk around do not wait in line for more than 90 minutes for a cable car up to the next level…or two stay on board and enjoy a sea day. Do not attempt to walk up and getting on a donkey would be one of the worst choice you’d ever make. Good luck🧐 I have to disagree about the donkey comment. It is a great way to the top. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 11 Author #112 Share Posted June 11 B just made a good point - we already have our Air France boarding passes. That’s a great start. Last year if anyone recalls, British Airways was a cluster and B couldn’t get her pass without going to a BA gate (it was codeshare with American but American couldn’t help us), which didn’t open for a while. So while I was sucking down margs in the lounge, she was fighting with BA customer service. so, so far so good! 🇫🇷 20 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me put this another way…if you want to be scared senseless by an animal that wants to get somewhere fast and leans over the edge close to falling…then by all means rent the donkey🤦♂️ 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 11 Author #114 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Okay so here's a strange one... We get the whole "150 free minutes" each of internet with FAS, so we go to do the $200 upgrade to unlimited. I do it, no problem. @HelloItsMeB goes to do it... Unavailable. Can't do it because I did? So we have to pay $300 onboard for her to have unlimited wifi? That seems.... not right? Am i missing something???

Rare TxTeach79 Posted June 11 Author #119 Share Posted June 11 "the website may not be letting you add it because it's 3 days til sailing".... The website literally says we can add things til June 12. Anyway, have to call the Friends & Family desk tomorrow morning to see if they can add it for us, they closed at 5:30 EST. So I guess we'll see. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I drop some of those rechargeable puck lights into the vase and decorate my Bar space for the weekend nights. Chicks dig them! Plus at my age I look better by candlelight glow! 🍷 The one on the middle shelve to the right comes from a well-known artist from Murano named Carlo Moretti, Apparently your Hotel is a 10 minute walk away from his shop. In fact, I stole the idea from a picture on his website below https://shop.carlomoretti.com/en/products?ptag=Vases&p=2 https://shop.carlomoretti.com/en/products?ptag=Vases&p=2 Edited June 12 by Stallion 9 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
