logan25 Posted March 31, 2016 #4477 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Norwegian StarMay 1-8, 2016 sailing roundtrip from Copenhagen inside guarantee $699 (taxes $111.32) FreeStyle perks (beverage package, dining package, shore excursion credit or internet package) are available for inside cabin booking. Although, I am reading that those will expire, so today is the "last" day to snag a perk with an inside cabin booking. This fare is still available. But this sailing will dip inside the 30-day window very shortly and I would not expect the perks to be available after April 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evangaline Posted March 31, 2016 #4479 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but thought folks here might know the answer to this one: I thought I heard there was a happy hour in the studio lounge on the Norwegian Breakaway. Anyone know anything about this. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zpdiduda Posted April 1, 2016 #4482 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Hi y'all! On Tuesday I booked a Deluxe Veranda (1C) on the Celebrity Eclipse TA ON 4/17/16 for $1440. I'm pretty pleased, as for the last few weeks they had been listing their cheapest Veranda at over $3000. I noticed yesterday that ther:e was a Concierge-class Veranda on the Penthouse Deck going for about $1500.;) Anyone else joining me on the Eclipse TA this spring? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know anything about this. Thanks. I have been on the Breakaway and Epic and attended the social gathering in the Studio Lounge almost every evening. The bartender is there to make it convenient for attendees to purchase drinks at whatever the going price is.

The bartender is there to make it convenient for attendees to purchase drinks at whatever the going price is. I was on the epic in Feb and spent and attended the studio gatherings and unless you had a ubp you wer expected to pay for your drinks. The barman was there 5/7pm. Heading on the getaway in 23/4/17 for a b2b going to Copenhagen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowbird23 Posted April 1, 2016 #4485 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It would be better to fly into Hobby Airport which is closer than Bush International. A taxi is approx. $60 but Uber should be cheaper. One other option would be to check the Roll Call to see if you can share ride with other cruisers. Thank you very much.

I have a friend who went on the Epic a couple of years ago and told me about a happy hour in the Studio Lounge where there were drinks at reduced prices. It seems that don't do this anymore.

I'm not saying it didn't happen-- just that it was a year ago, and I had the unlimited drink package. I know I had cocktails there, but since I wasn't paying for them, it didn't really register.

Converted to cruising Posted April 4, 2016 #4489 Share Posted April 4, 2016 As a recent solo cruiser I am so happy to see this forum. I look forward to getting a few good deals and thank everyone for posting them. It is so difficult to find them!! Good luck to all :) Olwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bizzybee902 Posted April 4, 2016 #4490 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I was checking out the solo rates on NCL. I've only sailed on Carnival. Can you purchase a drink package and get the solo supplement? It was not an option during the mock bookings for a 7 day cruise in April. I feel like with the drink package on NCL; Carnival ends up the cheaper option with their drink package and no solo supplement. Thanks for your help.

emmak8 Posted April 4, 2016 #4492 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The August 20 cruise on the Emerald Princess still available today! I booked a vista suite 14 days roundtrip from London for $2998 , far cheaper than interior!! I still do not understand the pricing. Two people in the same suite would be $12996 Could this be a mistake? Will it be honored? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

debranator Posted April 4, 2016 #4494 Share Posted April 4, 2016 right now and for the past year Carnival is way more expensive for a single than NCL. as for the drink package many NCL deals come with it. you are looking for this month..April? the Getaway has the drink package standard...as does the breakaway I believe. but, many of the NCL solo cruise fares are so cheap right now..it may pay to just buy the package if you get a last minute steal. if you buy other deals 30 days out or more they will come with the drink package. when are you looking at going and out of where? florida?

denatravels Posted April 4, 2016 #4499 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So I can book solo and add the drink package after. How much is the package. It's like $93 a day (which includes grats). Breakaway, escape, and getaway can still be booked with the package (less than 30 days). It pretty much doubles the price of the cruise to buy it separately.

debranator Posted April 4, 2016 #4500 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) and what is your cabin pref?here is the diff between booking 6 weeks out and booking 2 weeks out. the drink package IS an option and of course it is available to singles. you were probably looking at less than 30 days out. the only ships that offer it less than 30 days out as an option are the ones I mentioned. But, i have booked ncl both ways...and it is cheaper for me to take last minute deals and have the option for the drink package which I do not utilize enough to make up the cost diff. here are 2 examples both on norwegian spirit. in late dec. I booked a feb cruise instead of waiting for last minute so i could get the drink deal. so here are the prices. feb 2016 solo balcony with picking midship 10th floor balcony with drink package and 4 prem dining choices. 1377. used 2 250 cruise next vouchers paid 877 april 9th spirit 9th floor GTY booked last minute no extras used 2 250 deposits paid 227 out of pocket and get 100 bucks room credit. so...cost 127 after vouchers versus 877 after vouchers with drink package. huge diff in costs let me take a quick look for you... but..which port is closer to you NY or Fla.? and what are your cabin prefs?
