Looks like NCL will be offering less single cabins across their fleet. Two years ago, they had said they would offer cabins outside of their single cabins without the single supplement.

Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings is shifting strategies when it comes to the number of single cabins it will offer across its three brands, according to Harry Sommer, president and CEO, speaking on the company’s third quarter earnings call. He said the company would minimize the number of single cab...

Maybe flying in 1 day before cruise isn't long enough right now?🤔 What do you think?
And if you think you are safe with your travels because you have insurance, double check with your insurance company if it is covered due to the government shutdown.

The government shutdown has triggered 1,000-plus flight delays as the FAA cuts capacity at 40 airports. Airlines are offering refunds and policy changes amid ongoing travel disruptions.

FREE AT SEA!
Yep! NCL has rebranded their package AGAIN.

It's really not that much different than before besides the return of the previous name.

Differences - Beverage Package is now $28.50 p/p per day. Still no water or specialty coffee included.

Specialty Dining will no longer be dictated by your cabin category only days of sailings for all. The number of meals remain the same as they were under the balcony and higher categories. Same price and still for only the first 2 guests.

Wifi - everyone gets 150 minutes no matter what your length is. This is a loss for itineraries longer than 12 days and YES, I think not being unlimited like the rest of the lines is beyond ridiculous.

Black Friday Sales!!

Here are my 2 cents about Black Friday Sales and cruises. If you are waiting for promotions and cruise fares to go down during Black Friday, well, you might be disappointed. I don't have a crystal ball and know what the cruise lines will do but I can tell you traditionally that cruise lines (all of them) raise their cruise fares in order to give you great "promotions" and you will find that there are probably no savings at all. You will have to find a sailing that is not selling well at all to find a good fare.

With that said, Black Friday often brings great savings for buying cruise planner items with Royal Caribbean and Celebrity Cruises. I'm talking drink packages, specialty dining, wifi etc.

With that said, reach out if you want to book your next cruise.

Have you heard?
Carnival is strictly enforcing a rule that if you are late to your assigned dining time (Early or Late) in the main dining room, that we will (and have) ask you to eat at the buffet.

What do you think? Is there a time that is too late and Carnival is justified in doing this?
