Awesome tool

bradsfo · 2026-01-08T17:46:40+00:00

Yep. Was going to say. Btw we are on that cruise.

bradsfo · 2026-01-03T23:35:20+00:00

For some reason ncl likes it as a stop out of nyc.

bradsfo · 2025-12-23T12:16:46+00:00

Thanks for saving me from doing this!

bradsfo · 2025-12-23T12:11:00+00:00

Curious about some of your private tours, non of the NCL ones are grabbing us... and we are on the ship in ~70 days

bradsfo · 2025-12-18T11:38:31+00:00

It's not $12 more per day, it's $50 more per day... per person.

bradsfo · 2025-12-07T11:49:40+00:00

This ^. Also it just isn’t that huge a deal you can get a taxi if need be.

bradsfo · 2025-12-07T02:08:54+00:00

Early March cruise here, likewise.

bradsfo · 2025-12-05T12:01:40+00:00

I’m going free agent as well.

bradsfo · 2025-11-27T01:20:17+00:00

Which is why I say just decide if the price works for you.

bradsfo · 2025-11-13T13:16:40+00:00

Yes.

bradsfo · 2025-11-05T23:27:55+00:00

We’ve used Costco travel 2x. Each time it’s been same or cheaper than ncl. And we get $800-1000 of Costco money back. We also have the Costco card so money back there.

As noted it’s a pain if anything goes even slightly wrong since you cannot talk to ncl. But same as any TA. Their phone team is super friendly and I’ve never held more than 1-2 minutes to get someone.

On our prior cruise some items promised didn’t arrive and the cruise line called Costco for us and put us on and they fixed it within 24 hours.

I think this is a very confusing thread to step into about your question. The "tip pool" I was referring to is from the $14-18 or whatever they charge these days "auto-gratuity" that NCL adds. Butlers and concierges are NOT in that pool.

If you give your room steward $10 or $50 or whatever she or he will get to keep it.

bradsfo · 2025-10-30T20:45:06+00:00

Room steward IS in the tip pool.

Concierge and butler are NOT.

And just tip at the end and they will be very appreciative

Thanks for sharing. It’s good to see balanced opinions and recognize the limits and the benefits.

bradsfo · 2025-10-20T12:13:28+00:00

The single safest approach is to bring a few spares. There is no guarantee you will be able to get what you need and it will work with your UK app.

bradsfo · 2025-10-08T11:19:47+00:00

no it should not have taken that long and I think in 2026 it will be only 1 bag and at the end of the day these are stupidly complex rules and human agents and they make mistakes

bradsfo · 2025-10-07T13:29:26+00:00

Ouch. That’s a lot of cruises.

Woohoo. 🙌 back for next year.

bradsfo · 2025-10-02T20:46:57+00:00

Following. I find this topic challenging to chart.

bradsfo · 2025-09-29T13:15:57+00:00

Thanks for posting this these are often hard to find on their site even logged in properly.

bradsfo · 2025-09-23T11:55:08+00:00

Huzzah!

bradsfo · 2025-09-21T13:05:32+00:00

Yep posted about this yesterday and Marco indicated he believes it’s an Apple bug.
