OK, I'm confused. But it is never a good idea to bid a forcing NT with a game forcing hand.

Miles and many others agree with bidding forcing nt with a game force hand and no 5 card suit to bid at the 2 level. That makes all 2/1 bids promise 5+.
I think you make a jump into a new suit on rebid with good support for partner's rebid. Example:
1s=1nt
2c=3d=game force in clubs.

Hi everyone

All of that bidding to go down in 6NT seems strange.

1S-2D was not a possible start?

Bid 1S-2D-3C(high reverse showing extra values)-3NT-4NT-all pass.

You have a spade loser, a diamond loser and a club loser. Aren't two of them 'happening' going to defeat 6NT.

To get 4S and 4D winners, you have to lose 2 tricks.

A misfitting 18HCP opposite 14HCP are not good slam odds.

Regards,
Robert
