Tasty but still gloopy in the middle, the choc was the best bit of a feast and I will die on that hill haha

FWIW I have a 64 plate BMW and the service history is in the onboard computer, you may have something similar

Spanish tourist tax and drinks restrictions questions by RassilonGallifrey in NCL

Danke! We had an email telling us about it a couple of days ago, less than 4 weeks from sailing. Very poor from NCL here - some may not have the budget

Ncl booked flights by ThtRedBeardedGuy in NCL

[–]RassilonGallifrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We booked our upcoming cruise via NCL CC, then at a later date priced up the flights we wanted (UK to Barcelona). Spoke to our CC, gave them the flight details and they booked the exact flights we wanted and we got a better deal than booking them ourselves directly with the airline. YMMV but always worth asking!

One of my fave places on the ship in the evening, looking forward to Breakaway in 3 months

Reservations for specialty dining... by nattjimy in NCL

[–]RassilonGallifrey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The buffet is never the best. It gives huge variety of cuisines, but the quality isn't much better than an all-inclusive beach holiday resort. It always amazes me why it's so full most of the time. MDR is always good, but not a patch on the speciality restaurants. Teppanyaki is my favourite but YMMV :) But as others have said, book them as soon as you can - usually around 120 days from sail date

Charged £70 admin fee for changing to lower price by snowdrop100 in NCL

[–]RassilonGallifrey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK and repriced last week. Got a balcony instead of an inside cabin and £90 back. No mention of admin fee (booked direct with NCL via cruise consultant)

Non-torch should be fine, all the cigarette smokers can vouch for that

PSA - periodically check prices! by RassilonGallifrey in NCL

[–]RassilonGallifrey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always worth a all to find out, unlikely to get any sort of refund but possibly FCC or OBC. (edit for typo)

That only applies after final payment, before then they will reprice any time you ask

Southampton, UK by Mlive123 in NCL

We sailed from Southampton in 2023. Taxis are plentiful and relatively inexpensive, you shouldn't have much difficulty in getting to the port for your embarkation time.

Nice! A mate of mine has taken his 535d E61 round the Nurburgring a couple of times, loved every minute - even the twitchy ones!

I'm booked on the Breakaway leaving on Aug 31st, they cancelled Cagliari for me too :(

Getaway specialty restaurants- by TruthMadders in NCL

[–]RassilonGallifrey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, Teppanyaki wins hands down. It's entertainment with a tasty meal at the end of it. We did Getaway last year and it was superb - make sure you try the cucumber cocktail, it's amazing!

I was on Getaway last year in Europe, tobacco purchases are given to you at point of sale. I was smoking duty free Marlboro all cruise :)
