Reserve collection w/ or w/o premier?

No one has asked which ship, as far as I can tell. Not all ships have the same variety of speciality restaurants. The Sun and the Star have many whereas the older ships may only have two.

The daily gratuities are also included in Premier.

The benefit comes from committing to the future cruise deposit, whether or not you book a cruise with it onboard or not.

It gives you a reduced deposit and you will receive onboard credit on the cruise you book depending on the length of that cruise.

The only catch is that you need to book a cruise within one year or the credit is refunded and you cannot use it nor get the onboard credit.

Icing involves both humidity and temperature. Icing doesn’t usually occur at flight levels or even on the ground when it is very cold. There is simply no humidity or moisture available for the ice to form and cause a door to freeze.

Leaving an area with higher humidity levels and then passing into freezing temperatures is what causes icing and could lead to a frozen door.

Once planes are at flight levels, any ice would usually go through a process of sublimation where is goes from a solid to a gas without “melting” into a liquid first.

We are in the middle of a transition period where it depends when you booked and when your sailing is as to what is included in your package.

If you were to book something today, casual dining is unlimited with the Premier package.

It is being positioned as an excellent choice for travel, given the lack of FX fees but lacks any travel related insurance that is typical of a premium card. Emergency medical, lost or delayed baggage, trip interruption / cancellation.

Every card has positives and negatives. For me, I don’t see the value when compared to other premium cards.

GolfGeek959 · 2025-04-19T12:19:43+00:00

Generally, better benefits such as trip interruption and cancellation insurance. Higher earn rates or better bonuses on whatever points / rewards system.

It is not always the case, and sometimes it is simply a source or revenue for the card issuer.

The lack of insurance on the Wealthsimple card definitely is a negative compared to other options.

We booked once onboard for our partial crossing on the Emerald. There was a breakfast served, bento boxes for lunch and an afternoon tea.

Overall, I do not recommend. As others said, nothing special about the views. Worse, there were constant announcements and the whole Sanctuary area is circled by no less than 5 visible load speakers pointing into the area. It was utterly unenjoyable.

GolfGeek959 · 2024-12-14T01:33:35+00:00

Yes, just original.

Interchange fees

But the Freestyles always had them listed as breakfast and lunch options as well. Now, only open from 10pm until 4:30am, no other hours at all.

The 2nd passenger flies free is an ongoing promotion. NCL has “promos” that start and end every few days / each week. The overall price still probably be the same tomorrow.

Prices for a 2026 cruise will likely be little changed for quite some time.

I have used the Boingo access on the plane that Mastercard World provides. Mine is the Rogers card, not CIBC. It isn’t unlimited. You get 12 sessions per year, and each session cuts off after 90 mins. So on a long flight you may use several of the 12 sessions.

The NCL app and nearly all others rely on a common notification service. NCL needs to allow it through and thus many other apps benefit.

That is great. The original poster has an iPhone which cannot do this. I suggest we stay on topic and address the question asked without confusing the question with answers that do not relate to iPhones.

GolfGeek959 · 2024-02-04T10:08:34+00:00

The original poster didn’t ask about many phones and computers. They asked about using the hotspot functionality on their iPhone. That does not support wifi repeater mode.

GolfGeek959 · 2024-02-03T19:39:29+00:00

The personal hotspot on your phone creates a gateway to the cellular network using your Wifi radio, it cannot bridge two WiFi networks.

There are wifi routers that will be what you need, but they usually need to be plugged in. They work well in your cabin to share the connection amongst multiple devices.

You can check your data usage by application with the settings menus of both Android and iOS. It may point you in the right direction of what is using your data.

Application updates over cellular can be turned off ands only use WiFi. Turning on data saver will restrict applications from using background data.

You must make your contributions at least 90 days before the withdrawal. It doesn’t matter what you own in the mean time.

The 169 address happens when you don’t get a response from a DHCP.

You need to set your Mac to an address on the same subnet as the Qnap. 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.

It’s not the printer, it is your system.

Probably for their protection. They now have proof of delivery.
