I had used a gift certificate For payment against my May 17th cancelled cruise. I received an email a couple weeks after it was cancelled stating I would receive a voucher, then a couple weeks later I got another email with the voucher attached that can be used on a cruise that sails by 5/14/2022.

Remember also that pre-cruise pricing includes the service charge.  Onboard, any price that you are quoted will incur an additional 18% service charge.  It is almost never more cost effective to purchase onboard.

Great point!  

Thank you @Sbsco for the info!  

Thanks for the info! I’ll keep an eye out for your post after your sailing. 
 

Hubby and I will probably go with the 3 night deal. It didn’t work for everyone else in our group, so they are planning on those two. 

Does anyone know the current pricing if you reserve Wonderland and CP150 once onboard Harmony?  I googled the price of Wonderland and it is showing as $45, but my cruise planner is saying $54.99, so I don't believe the $45 is accurate. 

I'm trying to talk family into booking in advance through the planner and I'm curious if the rate onboard is close to the pre-cruise planner price for those who are undecided. 

TIA!

Ask for the savory bites. They are great!

I was going to mention this one too!

Thanks everyone for the info. I’ll pass along the info. 

Do they sell the 3 night dining package on board, or does it need to be purchased in advance.  We have always booked through the cruise planner so I've never paid attention once on board.  We are sailing with some family members who may want to purchase last minute. If it is available on board, anyone know the going rate?  My cruise planner is currently at $115.  

We have purchased the package before on a large family sailing which included 10 rooms. There were three people in our cabin and as long as one of us was in the photo, it was included in the package. 

I prefer the digital files so that I am able to have multiple copies printed and choose what size I want the print to be. Paper choices from the place I use are also better than that used on board. 

I usually purchase the package on our family sailings and it’s nice to be able to print photos for everyone in the group photos easily.  Trying to scan and print from an original photo purchased on board doesn’t typically look as good either. 

Haven't sailed Liberty so I don’t know if she has the computers that use facial recognition.

For my Allure sailing 12/22/2019: 

Photo package all digital (or all prints) dropped from $234.99 to $149.99 

Refreshment package was $20 now $17

Voom S&S 1device is $15.99 but I got for $15.39 in September

 

Thanks for mentioning the all digital photo package. I didn't even think to check that earlier.   We are going on a large family cruise and I was able to snag it for $119 for Harmony in May!!  Yay. 

We use Pedialyte AdvancedCare powder packets and add them to bottled water. I've never used Nuun, so I can't say if one is better than the other. Just another option to throw out there if anyone is looking.

Thank you for the heads up!  The Refreshment package is down to $19 on my May Harmony cruise.  I repurchased and saved $40.

About 80 free cruises on NCL this morning.  Still plenty available 

I'm not seeing NCL...are you using a app on your phone or through FB?

The only one I have seen listed in my cruise planners was the Lafite Wine Tasting(for a fee).  We have booked that one a couple of times through the planner. Once on Grandeur (held in Chops) and once on Freedom (Vintages).  Not for sure if its still an option or not.

In the past, I know for the cruise planner my booking sometimes was locked because I didn't log out properly. I waited about 10-15 minutes and then it would unlock.

Same experience here.

Used it back in March on Harmony and it worked reasonable well. Unless things have changed, the biggest issue was lack of notifications unless you opened the app.

Also a slight learning curve in adding people. Once you added a person they have to approve you adding them before messages could be sent.

Great info! Thanks for sharing. 

We have a spare bedroom that becomes "mission control".  About a month prior I start placing items as I think about them on the bed like extra chargers, camera, lenses, beach bag, bathing suits, etc. The week before,  I will pack my suitcase except for the items that have to go in last minute. 

I also have a Royal Caribbean bag in that bedroom closet too that holds all cruise items that we don't use for anything else, like luggage tag holders, water proof playing cards, etc.  Easier to keep up with those items that way, and I don't ever have to "unpack" it.
