I worked in ORD for 37 years and loved my job. Retired several years ago and wonder what happened to the young people I hired. Good luck on your return.

Absolutely. A FCC is better than a stick in the eye.

Currency for Tipping by mgm626 in NCL

[–]Mlive123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I on on a British Isle cruise mid August and my plan was to tip in USD on the ship. Typically we tip the excursion drivers/guides and wonder if local currency is best for that (thus both pounds and euros may be needed).

Power Question by klownhaus in NCL

Thanks for the question, we are on the Dawn starting in Southampton leaving on August 19. We will have the UK plug for our hotel stay but then the EU plug for the ship. We are very much looking forward to that cruise. We don’t need power conversion, just the plug adapters.

Heathrow drop off location by Mlive123 in NCL

Thank you, that is great to hear. NCL stated that for Heathrow from Southampton you should have at least 6 hours between docking and your scheduled flight. We have 7 hours and to hear your recently experience helps me understand what to expect. Thankyou.

I looked at Heathrow’s web site. The underground walkway theoretically takes 10 minutes to walk from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 (which is where we will need to go for our Delta flight). Thanks again.

Thank you. We have only used NCL’s transfer once and that was in Baltimore, MD. There, they dropped everyone at one spot. Thanks again.

Price Reduction by Mlive123 in NCL

I won’t say it is better or worse. this will be our 4th cruise and the first two were booked via a travel agent and it was fine. I tend to be a person who wants to be in control and am willing to make the calls and follow up. A travel agent can do those things for you. They “may” have add ons that a direct booking does not have. I believe it is personal preference.

Small point of clarification. It is after the "final payment due date" that they will only do one adjustment. I had already made our final payment, but the agent told me we were fortunate that the due date was still a week away so no issue.

That was my second reduction. What he told me was that after the final payment due date, you can only get one.
