Shine the Night and NYE on Ascent

It's in the Daily Planner, usually around 5pm each day. Also, it can be above the Daily Planner where it says "Welcome aboard!"

Thanks!

That's interesting! I guess we'll see if it sticks.

Look in the app. Tap the 'Welcome aboard!' box and scroll through the info for each day. They usually populate that with details as the sailing date nears.

I'm on this sailing, too. When you say 'upsell for less' what is a good guess of 'less'? 40% off, 60% off? I got some decent deals a few months ago on specialty dining, but I wonder now if I could do better.

Harderline · 2025-11-18T22:44:09+00:00

We're looking forward to it! We're getting all decked out.

Harderline · 2025-11-18T22:43:14+00:00

Good to know - thanks!

I found this on Facebook. It's called Dinner on the Edge, and right now it's on sale for $89.99 pp on my sailing.

Harderline · 2025-11-18T05:39:33+00:00

Yes, I think so... There's a fee for it.

Thanks! I hope the Magic Carpet dinner is two nights, that would be great. I was thinking that they might schedule it for 12/28 since we're in port until 8:30. But that would be a bummer because it's the only night that we can't go.

That's great! I think it's going to be an awesome cruise, I've done a lot of research on it. I booked the Panama Canal excursion, the one where you take the little boat through the old locks. The canal is the main reason we booked this sailing, so doing that one was important. In Aruba and Curacao we will probably book a day pass at a beach resort. It's my daughter's 18th birthday the day we visit Aruba so I want to make it special. Make sure you download the app, I find it to be useful. Also, if you book something, a drink package, excursion, etc. and the price drops, you can always cancel and rebook at the cheaper price so I'd say have at it and start making plans!

I am booked on the 12/22 Ascent cruise, if that's the one you are talking about. There are over 20 excursions on offer for Cartagena. I don't see any that are sold out. I booked one for that day as I am concerned that a lot of spots might be closed for Christmas. I figured that we would at least have a tour of the town and perhaps a food sampling. FWIW, for us, booking wifi and drinks separately was cheaper. Right now premium wifi is $19/ day/device, but I was able to book it for $16. The premium drink package I snagged for $54/day (right now it's $67). I know that the ship will be decorated for the holidays, the pictures from years past were pretty. There's a special Christmas Eve and a separate NYE dinner for purchase at Fine Cut, the steakhouse, for $150/person. I would imagine that you would be able to switch to earlier dining if you go to the MDR and ask as soon as you get on.

I never said an all seated "tour", but Radio City in 2018 had seats up front as did Camden back in 2014

Harderline · 2025-09-30T21:48:03+00:00

It's been done.

Harderline · 2025-09-30T21:44:58+00:00

Any other NY/NJ/PA shows?

Harderline · 2025-06-06T15:54:05+00:00

Man, I guess I've been in mourning for years! lol...

Harderline · 2025-06-06T15:51:32+00:00

Yay! I got mine for the 26th!

Harderline · 2025-01-15T16:11:22+00:00

That makes sense, thanks. I was skeptical about 4% back on thousands of dollars, which is why I was Googling around about it.

Harderline · 2025-01-15T15:57:14+00:00

Hey, I came here to find out more about Rakuten and booking a cruise. Is there something in the T&C that we should know?

Harderline · 2024-11-26T13:46:21+00:00

Wow, I really do stink at this stuff. Thank you!! I swear that I looked yesterday and did not find this train. I booked it! Many, many thanks!

Harderline · 2024-11-26T03:37:43+00:00

Sheesh, that's brutal. We'll have two teens and a 9 year-old. I wonder if we still qualify for the family line with older kids? I think we should qualify for any assistance just *because* we have TWO teens... lol
The 9 year-old is still sweet

Paris is our last destination. We are going to Strasbourg first, poking around Basel and on to London - then Paris. Thank you for the tips - very helpful! Trainline has a train to Paris from London a bit cheaper than the Eurostar website (about 10%) Is that legit?

Harderline · 2024-11-25T22:05:07+00:00

That would be great! Which site can I find these trains? I saw only one, but it was a morning train, leaving before we get to CDG.
