wernew2cruising Posted December 4, 2008 #1 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Hey everyone. I am so excited. I was just checking my email and there was an upsell offer. I called and we are now in an AD on the Sun all the way up from a BC. $540. I didn't think that was bad at all. This is our first NCL and after being treated so nice I am sure it won't be our last. Now, what is it is I hear about the curtains being closed etc? We are on the viking deck. Bridge is 2 decks up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fin Posted December 4, 2008 #3 Share Posted December 4, 2008 Well, bragging seems to be the second most popular indoor sport on these pages. Complaining, of course, is number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silverspoon Posted December 5, 2008 #8 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I don't think the OP is bragging! There are a lot of threads about upsells! Thanks for sharing your great news, OP!

wernew2cruising Posted December 5, 2008 Author #9 Share Posted December 5, 2008 I really wasn't bragging...I was just so excited and wanted to share with you guys. This was a touch and go week about whether we were even getting to go that the upsell call kind of made our week. I wanted to know about the curtain/door/light issue I vaguely remember reading something about the forward cabins and this issue. If anyone can answer I will really appreciate it. Thanks!!!

rickechambers1@aol.com Posted December 5, 2008 #10 Share Posted December 5, 2008 If I recall correctly, on the Jewel, there were 2 front doors, one in front of the other. The outer door was a big white metal bulkhead door and then there was a wood paneled door that faced inward. There was a sign stating not to open during movement and not to open at night I believe. Also the curtains must be closed at night. Of course, we did go out there once or twice with the lights off. It's windy but beautiful. I think you made a very smart move and at a great price! You probably saved thousands over retail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamabeac Posted December 5, 2008 #12 Share Posted December 5, 2008 In answer to your question about the forward AD suite on the Sun, we were in cabin 9003 in October. You will love your suite -- especially the bathroom! On the Sun, there is no metal outer door just the regular sliding glass doors to the balcony. At night your room stewards will close the drapes so lights from your room will not cause any problems in the bridge which is directly above you. However you are able to use the balcony and there is also an outside light that can be used as well. It has a blue lightbulb in it. I was a bit worried about causing problems for the bridge but it was never a problem and I was on that balcony every night. Enjoy your great upsell and take advantage of all the perks. We especially enjoyed breakfasts and lunches in Il Adagio. They will totally spoil you there. If you get a chance, tell Belkys (your concierge) that the Browns from West Virginia said hello.

I sure will. About the bathroom....I have seen 2 different things on NCL website...does it or does it not have a whirlpool tub? I am thrilled about the tub but man if it has a whirlpool I will be in HEAVEN! I don't even know what all the perks are other than we can eat breakfast and lunch somewhere different. (pathetic that I take something and don't know anything about it) I just wanted that balcony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antioch Cruiser Posted December 5, 2008 #19 Share Posted December 5, 2008 We had the Balcony right above the Bridge in 1202. They never said anything about the curtains. From our balcony we were able to see your balcony's below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
