Unless the sections that are Standard or Preferred have changed, there shouldn't be a problem. Pop's have always been pretty accurate on there.

I am a higher is better girl. I got dumped in one of those Deck 5 cabins from an 8B GTY. Way too low and way too central for me.

To me, that is a reason to use DCL excursions. You do a private tour, you're depending on them to get you back on time, and if you DIY you're depending on yourself. With DCL you know the guides are going to be keeping a close watch on the time. See the thread about NCL leaving people for what...

This. Things like the amount of time to get to the next port, the tides, the environment, the port schedule, etc. I haven't seen this addressed, and NCL paid for them to get from Gambia to Senegal regardless, but I wonder if the amount of time they were waiting to begin with caused them to miss...

At least per the report I read, they SAW that it was getting tight, they TOLD their guide it was tight, their GUIDE said to relax and he could get them back in time - and they chose to believe him rather than demand to go back. Unless the guide pulled a gun on them and said "We are finishing...

I'd just look for 6 to begin with and then modify down. Save the precious moments of searching for 5 and then 6.

Yes, this exactly! I was on a Royal Caribbean 12-night Mediterranean cruise round-trip from Barcelona. Stop 1 was Villefranche, France. All-aboard time came and there was a paging of several passengers including 2 I'll call Mr. & Mrs. Smith. They were paged a few times and eventually we left -...

She was at least initially separate as she was on an NCL-based excursion. Yes. Once they were late beyond a certain point - either the ship's gotta-go time OR quite possibly (since we're really only getting the side of the "experienced" cruisers who are milking this for all it's worth) beyond...

Got it. Sorry.

Nov 2024 or 2025? I don't think 2025 has been released yet.

I know you've switched by now, to which I say good. If I'm at Disney, I want to feel like I'm at Disney. I've stayed at Saratoga a couple of times (it was what was available on my sister's CM rate), and honestly I felt like I could have been at any of the numerous golf resorts we pass around...

Ship-based excursions carry a bit of insurance - the ship will wait as long as they can for them, and if they cannot, then the ship fully funds getting you to the next port. These people opted not to do a ship-based excursion. And they didn't insist on returning to the port when they noticed it...

Absolutely! Ships routinely evacuate passengers for medical emergencies, leaving them in foreign countries. As far as the daughter not being contacted, it's highly possible the daughter was NOT listed as the emergency contact. I know when I cruise the line has only the information I give them -...

BINGO! The ship had already ceased all tender operations. They aren't going to just sit there with a platform down waiting for who knows how long for people who couldn't be responsible enough to tell their guide to return (at least one report, one of the "experienced" cruisers told the guide...

This. NCL did leave the passports with the local port authority. In terms of why they weren't allowed to board... Besides the tender-enabling operations having already been put away, they were in a part of the ocean where they had weapons from local port authorities on board due to potential...

I see it on the dinner menu.

Just what I was going to say (well, not that I'm allergic, but the rest). Service animals (legit or questionable but declared) can stay in ANY room in ANY hotel regardless of "pet-friendly" status. So if allergies are a real problem, you should be requesting a deep clean every time you stay in a...

Awesome! Thank you!

So when you check in, you would just request to sit at "the cooking place"? I'm guessing the earliest reservation would be best to increase chances of that?

If you could do CSR in a Preferred room, that would put you in Casitas which, unless it has changed, is the first stop going to the parks. (Disney Springs is the exception and I believe that one starts at the Tower. Tower is the final stop for Parks.)
