Newbie Question - Cruise Lingo, ships etc...
Hi all,
I want to take my wife for a Boston to Bermuda 7 night on NCL Majesty this May for our Anniversary. I dinna know much about cruises, having only been once about 15 years ago. Having read the group for a couple of days, I see the word "Guarantee" and "Upgrade" in alot of the threads. Can anyone explain these? I thought you "Guarantee" when you send the money? Are they linked to upgrades somehow? I was just a kid when I went on the last cruise, so I never got to do any of the "fun" stuff, so I am feeling excited about this one. Also, seems like there are only a few dozen cabins on each deck for my selected dates. Does that mean we came late and will get a lousy cabin... Not that it is really important, but I'd like to get as good as I can... Thanks & regards! Freddie BTW: Congrats for being one of the more civilized(sp?) newsgroups on usenet. |

A "guarantee" is a reservation without a specific cabin number. You are
guaranteed to get a specific category or better. If you get a better category you've been "upgraded." On some cruise lines you'll know your cabin a couple of weeks before the cruise. On others you'll learn your cabin number when you get to the pier. My best advice is to find a good travel agent, sit down with him or her, and ask every question you can think of. -- Alan Rosenbaum Independent Cruise Specialist CruiseOne www.cruiseone.com/arosenbaum "Fred Fowler" wrote in message ...

this May for our Anniversary. I dinna know much about cruises, having only been once about 15 years ago. There are many here with much more cruising experience than me. I'll let them answer your questions. I just want to say that you've made a great choice and you are both going to love it! No matter what ship/cabin/itinerary you choose you will have a wonderful time. Be sure to tell us all about it when you return. ~ Patty |

One more time, Malevolent Michelle, your Google crap is getting lame.
Let me 'splain to you how this newsgroup works. If someone asks a question and you know the answer, you reply with the answer, but if someone asks a question and you don't know the answer, which in your case seems to be every post, how about you don't post anything at all. -- DG in Cherry Hill, NJ ABB "Cruising Chrissy" wrote in message ...

No, Patty. He was talking to the resident troll. It can get confusing around
here! Thank you for clearing that up I must have the troll kill filed. ~ Patty |
