Meet & Greet + Upgrades

It's Official :   Our Meet & Greet will be Sunday September 11 @ 11:30 am in the Le Bistro Restaurant. Each of you are invited to have some finger food, glass of wine and meet the ship's staff. There will be about 40 attending and you can compare notes and ideas about the ports and maybe buddy up on an excursion if you choose.

You can see a bit of the restaurant from the "LETS EAT" page, but this will give you a chance to see the whole space and decide if you want to do a dinner there.

Speaking of dinner - - - when you board, you may find some of the staff Welcome Team just inside the ship with 2 for one offers for the specialty restaurants.  These are often a very good deal and you might want to think about if you would take advantage of this kind of an offer if you are extended the opportunity.

Also speaking of Opportunities:   It is not un-common for the cruise line to phone you a few days before the cruise and ask you if you would like to upgrade your cabin.  Usually this offer is for a single step up at a much reduced price.  It does not happen on every cruise and may not on this one.  However, if you were to get such a call, you generally have to have decided to take it or not within a hour or less.  So it is worthwhile to think / discuss if you were to receive an upgrade call - would you spend another $500-600 for a better cabin...?   I have been seeing on the Cruise Critic Boards NCL offering upgrades with an increasing frequency being reported by members - more so than in the past.  So maybe you will have a better than 50 - 50 chance of receiving a call.
