    Yes.  I just did this myself.  OBC was immediately available and I used it towards my new purchase.  No need to log out and log back in, OBC credit was immediately available.

    Then there is the PARTIAL CLOSURE OF BERLIN'S SCHÖNEFELD AIRPORT for a toy.  A certain kind of toy.  In someone's luggage.  Google it.

    San Juan was where I had a simple 2 wire extension cord confiscated only to be replaced with the exact same style extension cord for medical use on board.  

    Same cord made it on board in Miami just fine.
    San Juan is tough.

    A call to RCMP/CSIS wouldn't hurt.  They know how to engage the appropriate agency on the other side of the border.
    One concern with calling RC is that only represent RC's interests.  They won't likely get this guy on any radar screens of any government agency where he appears to belong.

    Except with the "free" drink package you still pay a hefty service charge.
    Plus the 'free' internet is 250 minutes.  You have to log in, check everything quickly and logout.  
    i recently price shopped a December cruise.  The advertised $499 inside guarantee cabin rate doesn't include anything 'free'.  To qualify for a 'free' perk you have to step up to an inside guarantee cabin @ $669.    So $170 more per person to get something for free in the same inside guarantee cabin.  But wait, there is a $356 "Choice promo Srvg Chrg" added to that.  
    So the "free" drink package really cost $170 x 2 plus $356 for a total of $696.  
    For those people who hate misleading advertising NCL must drive them nuts.

    For the Symphony TA the drink package is now $39 per day, $49 for Deluxe + Voom.
    Voom S&S is $12 per day.
    I'm buying the drink package at this price point.  Deluxe + Voom when Voom is $12 effectively makes the Deluxe drink package just $37 per day.  
    That's a Kraken Lavaflow and two nice glasses of wine per day.  Very easy to do that.  Add a few beers, bottled water and fruit smoothies plus the fact there are supposedly in excess of 2,500 D/D+ on this cruise and the Diamond Lounge is going to be insanely overcrowded each night.

    The two device plans are harder to calculate because there can be greater variance on-board.  Based on what I have have captured in the past, the two device plan on-board is often $18.99 per device for Surf and Stream, full voyage.   That's $37.98 for two devices total.

    Consequently getting it for $19.99 total including two devices in the cruise planner is pretty close to the 50% off on-board prices they are suggesting in the cruise planner and a very good deal.  Just make sure you only apply it to one person.  If you select both people when checking out you are actually buying two, two device plans for a total of four devices.

    For an upcoming 9 night cruise with my friend's daughter I am buying it at this price and saving $115 versus on-board using D+ discount.

    Two years ago cabanas were located in a rocky area.  You had to walk to the beach area to swim.
    They've been moved and now you have a roped off beach area just for cabanas.  
    I grabbed some Cabanas beach photos in my Empress live blog a few weeks ago.

    The beach is quite nice here.  I think your girls will love it.
