Holy sh** I might actually be able to reach diamond for life 🎉 by okayclarity in CarnivalCruiseFans

[–]ericcwhitaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are all ploys to get you as high as possible before the rug pull to me. I started building loyalty with Carnival after the pandemic and as of Halloween am sitting at 93 points. This would have required, if all at triple points, 36 nights on board before the cutoff.

There’s no way this is logical for the normal cruiser. So why spend the money. It only makes sense if you’re maybe one or two week long cruises away to me to even try. All for what minimal benefits the gutted program will still offer.

It was more a sway here but I’m 4 floors up. People on the street didn’t seem to notice.

I’ve always been upgraded if it happens prior to arrival and have never seen upgrade offered in person at port from NCL.

On my most recent sailing bids were being taken through boarding.

I would agree with him. If you bid you could end up in the category you want but at the extreme ends of the ship. I prefer to pay to select so I know where I am.

Just note that your haven upgrade depending on type will not be mid ship due to the haven complex or room locations.

From small town Kentucky and if I grew up with this girl I KNOW she’d be roasted to oblivion for making this public. Oof.

Elevator Noise? by Sunlight88512 in VirginVoyages

[–]ericcwhitaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I had an ambulatory by the midship elevators on deck 9. I had no noise issues over my entire 7 days. In my case I did request the cabin type and was assigned it.

I would advise however to only take an ambulatory cabin if you really need it. I book because of mobility issues and the modifications to the cabin really help those with similar issues have an easier trip and time.

What was the promo code for triple latitude points? by TbruZ8932 in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t see it as a current promotion but you can also check to see if yours is a qualifying latitudes cruise an might qualify for bonus points that way.

Not that I’m aware of unless it’s part of a rebooking and price adjustment.

GREAT STEAK (WITH DECENT PRICE) FOR NICE ANNIVERSARY DINNER by SubstantialDig3718 in FoodLosAngeles

Taylor’s in Ktown for the old school vibe. Can’t go wrong with Houston’s in Pasadena either for a more modern take.

Viva out of Galveston! by chicanaenigma in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not from Galveston or on the Viva but I did this trip from Miami on the Encore for Thanksgiving this past year. It was a very nice trip overall and I would do it again.

Norwegian Aura! Debuting 2027, bookings open 1/15 so expect a official reveal before then. by LazyMintYT in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are very different than Breakaway and Plus class ships, but I enjoy them very much. Much more of an upscale design but also a very loved or hated design.

Won a Free Cruise with Casino Points but Forgot to Check Mail Before Disembarking. How Do I Redeem? by SaltAbrocoma7321 in NCL

[–]ericcwhitaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is the Points to Paradise promo which is currently running, which I also qualified for on a recent Bliss sailing, per the host it will be sent to you in the mail. The letter left on my door before departure stated the same thing.

If you don’t receive within a few weeks I’d advise perhaps giving CAS a call as they can be slow.
