Q: I'm looking to book post cruise hotels how many days before can you book. it's very frustrating when I call ncl. I do not get a constant answer

A: Book on your own, you can do whatever you want. No need to go through the cruise line.
Answered by Jerrec on April 11, 2023
A: I really don't see any value in booking flights through any cruise company. Reading the fine print; they book the latest possible flights. Nothing is direct fly; expect layovers, worse seats on the aircraft. In the future, do yourself a favour, fly i... n one/two days before hand, booking on your own of course, and also book your own hotel. As for flights back home; we book our flights for mid afternoon which gives us plenty of time to get off the ship and get to the airport.See More
Answered by ASYoung on April 12, 2023
A: just because you have NCL air, you do not need to book hotel with them. Supposedly their rates will include transportation to hotel and pier. I have done NCL air 3 times and never booked hotel with them
Answered by DACruiser57 on April 12, 2023
A: Why do you need to book through the cruise line? Book whatever you want.
Answered by jpmato16 on April 12, 2023
Q: where do you book the entertainment, it's been a while since I been on ncl, is it guest service or directly at the venue?

A: I have seen the correct answers so far posted….I wanted to add just a little more as I was a first time cruiser as of January. Once you get on the boat, their are touch screens near the stairs all over the boat. You won’t be getting into your room ri... ght away, so this is your quickest location to start booking. Book as much as you can, it will show up on your APP for scheduled events. I also showed up to several events as a walk up and was never turned away. One more thing, there is another option for communicating on the boat, it’s a $10 fee for the whole cruise. You can message people in the boat and even call those people that are using the service. Each person is $10….you won’t have to blow through your 150 mins of “free” Wi-FiSee More
Answered by JimandTay on March 23, 2023
A: You can make reservations from your cabin TV, or from touchscreens located in most of the elevator lobbies. They also have a box office at the theater, but the other options are best as shows can fill up quickly.
Answered by Jerrec on March 22, 2023
A: I just got off the Encore and it seems they are moving to having folks book entertainment in the box office on the first day. The kiosk was full so we went to box office and got all shows we wanted. This way, they stop folks from signing up for... the same show twiceSee More
Answered by nclcruzr on March 24, 2023
A: Some shows are almost full, so it's better to book in advance before sailing. You can do it on the app or the website under explore and plan entertainment. Website gives you more choices than the app. You can also book it on the touchscreen located n... ear the elevators close to guest services and a few decks above. Same with specialty dining.See More
Answered by Wanderer4life on March 24, 2023
A: It’s on NCL app under manage booking then entertainment.
Answered by woody20 on March 22, 2023
A: There are menus you can review and pick what you want….but nothing was really over $15 AND you can get two drinks each time you walk up to the bar. Try two different drink….be specific about your liquor brand as others have said, quality matters when... you have a few by the poolSee More
Answered by JimandTay on March 23, 2023
A: Yes. As long as they are less than $15 for the basic package.
Answered by Jerrec on March 18, 2023
A: I agree with Jerrec as long as the drink is $15 or under, it is included in the free at sea.
Answered by MandyLC on March 18, 2023
A: As they said they are included but the caveat is depending what type of alcohol you ask for. If you do buy the package remember to request the type of alcohol you want otherwise they’ll give you the “well” option.

A: You can actually fill out a special needs form on the NCL website and they will give you distilled water for the CPAP. At least I did this in December 2022
Answered by Soon2bfitmomto6 on March 6, 2023
A: Go on ncl.com fill out the special needs form. It’s a pdf. send it in 2 weeks before your departure date. They will provide distilled water at no charge.
Answered by NCLARRY on March 6, 2023
A: I’ve heard you may need to use their cups to then fill your water bottle. Also if you’re a coffee drinker don’t forget to bring a thermos because I’ve heard their cups are smaller and the buffet lines to get coffee/water can be long
Answered by LoFu on March 3, 2023
A: Yes. We just took our bottle to the buffet line and filled it with ice and water there.
Answered by Gammi6 on March 3, 2023
A: The NCL app has a great “chat” that works well and you get answers straight from NCL. They told me unfortunately they don’t have the cost and you won’t know until you get on the ship to book. Hopefully you get a ballpark of what others have paid rece... ntly…See More
