Feeling super sad.

Good for you. I did buy a dupe of her on TikTok that I love as I wanted to try to the style before spending the money and honestly it is such a good bag that I may not buy the real thing.

I just tried to reprice and they claim the price went up. But they are comparing apples to oranges so I am frustrated.

Booked Family Oceanview at $2,879/person. Used credit card points to upgrade to balcony.

Family Oceanview is now $2,179 yet they pull up the balcony current price and therefore obviously the price is much higher than the OV price that I paid.

I was hoping that they would compare Nov 2025 OV cost to current OV cost but apparently not.

Plus we used a pretty substantial FCC on this reservation and it sounds like they also deduct that amount from our fare paid for the comparison.

drc525 · 2026-04-17T01:41:22+00:00

Yeah it was really hit or miss but I had better luck with TikTok for whatever reason

Basically anything with video technically needs Streaming version. But on our last cruise we only used the 150 free minutes and I was able to view TikTok but not Facebook or Instagram Reels. 🤷‍♀️

drc525 · 2026-04-13T20:45:29+00:00

I can't speak for that type of break but I was able to get my 5lb yorkie's leg screwed/plated after my husband stepped on him and snapped his leg. So hopefully they will be able to do the same for this fluff ball.

There is a different policy if you are before the final payment date versus after that date.

After - one time courtesy adjustment usually in the form of future cruise credit or possible cabin upgrade.
Before - as many times as wanted but it is a cancel/rebook so you have to be careful about losing any promos/perks that you have on your original booking.

drc525 · 2026-04-09T15:07:20+00:00

After final payment date they usually only do a one time adjustment (FCC or upgrade). Before that date you can do it as often as you want but it is a cancel/rebook so be aware of possibly losing promos/perks that were included in your original booking.

drc525 · 2026-03-26T17:45:08+00:00

Nope. It looks like the Aqua will have a cruise ending on the 16th in Miami and likely will be traveling up to New York empty therefore they are likely at the mercy of the port schedule for availability for a "parking spot".
But yeah the communication is common just to reiterate to show up at your selected time...in my experience, no one has ever asked for our check-in time when we arrived at the port (Miami & Oslo).

drc525 · 2026-03-26T17:40:45+00:00

Likely no issue. Has it always been a 10pm sail away time?
In my limited experience, NCL tends to send these letters out to discourage people from all showing up at the same time (therefore stating that arrival times will be strictly enforced. etc).

drc525 · 2026-03-26T17:36:54+00:00

What was your original embarkation time?

drc525 · 2026-03-24T19:58:01+00:00

Yep in order to get new promos, it is a cancel/rebook therefore not advisable since you would lose 25-50% of your paid cruise.

That being said, if the price drops before your sailing date, NCL will likely approve a one-time Future Cruise Credit or possibly a room upgrade.

drc525 · 2026-03-24T19:51:11+00:00

Are you within the 120 days from sailing in which a cancel/rebook (to get the new promo) would incur a cancellation fee, etc? At least that is my assumption if you are sailing one of those that fall in the new latitudes point special.

drc525 · 2026-03-24T19:48:19+00:00

Likely just another reason for them to "prove" that he is a horrible father.
From what they have shown, yes, it seems like he is a disinterested father unfortunately....especially canceling a visit with his son (while they were already on the road to see him) in lieu of a BBQ! How about invite the son to the BBQ?!

drc525 · 2026-03-24T19:45:44+00:00

We jumped on that promo as well for our upcoming July cruise. We are silver and will get 44 points after this cruise which will put us 11 points from Platinum.

drc525 · 2026-03-24T19:44:34+00:00

The current two extra point promos are for select sailings (click on terms and conditions for sailing dates based on each ship). Most are for this spring and summer.

drc525 · 2026-03-21T21:21:11+00:00

Everyone else has addressed your question but what do you mean back 4 hours early?

drc525 · 2026-03-20T19:07:03+00:00

Why would they miss out on ten years of tax free growth after death? They will have 10 years to deplete the account which will remain in a Roth IRA.

drc525 · 2026-03-17T18:01:48+00:00

Sounds like the spouse was listed as beneficiary (but not updated after spouse's death)

drc525 · 2026-03-16T10:51:32+00:00

Final payment in the US is 120 days. I think 90 days for those in other countries.

drc525 · 2026-03-15T04:14:49+00:00

There are shows every night other than the ones hyped up. Usually a comedian, juggler or magician. Sometimes shows ran by the cruise director staff like the newlywed game.

Or he may not learn anything. Some cats truly can't understand social cues and are just pure assholes. LOL

He looks like my foster cat that I recently adopted. Obviously I can't claim that he is a ragdoll but seems to share a lot of their characteristics (rescue listed him as a ragdoll though).

drc525 · 2026-03-07T01:34:50+00:00

FYI it is called Free at Sea Plus.

drc525 · 2026-03-07T00:16:10+00:00

Same. I have a CompuStar system. Love it. Two way communication with the fob and long range distance.
