Q: What time will I be allowed to board the ship? Also is the priority boarding package also included disembarkation?

A: You can call or use the chat to hear directly from NCL, but from what I was told yes you get special tags for disembarkation. You get in a shorter line to get on but not positive if it allows for boarding early or anytime you want. You also get free... breakfast room service each day. If you can carry your own bags off and don’t want room service the $180 may not really pay for itself though…See More

A: Yes , it started the January 1, 2023. They are super to put a case of water in room if you have drink package. That’s what I understand.

Answered by treavis1 on January 4, 2023
A: Starting January 2023 the drink package now includes boxed water.
Answered by BLMARYANOVSKY on January 4, 2023
A: I don’t think that bottles are available, but you do get 4 cartons of water to keep in your cabin. Fact check me on it, but I believe I read that. Not sure if it applies to the ultimate package or not.

Q: I have cruise ncl in past and just cruise with celebrity, and celebrity app allows you to text each other on ship, does ncl have something like that.
Thumbs Up
0
A: We found using their app wasn’t worth it and there was no way to get notifications when you received a message. However if you have iPhones and are on airplane mode, most of the time iMessage worked. Not always, but often. That’s what we used.
Answered by Renee6870 on January 17, 2023
A: i mean free, like to be able to text your family and friends on the ship
Answered by Paris87541 on December 18, 2022
A: I just came back from cruising on the Escape in the Caribbean, and sometimes I was able to text but not consistently. I just use my regular texting, not the app. Weirdly it seem to work better using my Apple Watch versus my iPhone.
Answered by Finnabair on December 20, 2022
A: per ncl website it is 9.95 per device.

Q: Where do you make reservations for specialty restaurants and shows once you are on board?
Thumbs Up
0
A: there are tv screens at the top of the staircase on each floor. You can book there using your key card. You can also book entertainment at the box office, which is usually at the entrance to the theater, and book restaurants at the restaurant. Enjoy!
Answered by caribbeanxl0ve on December 17, 2022
A: If you go into the app and go to the dining section, you can actually book the specialty restaurants before you even leave on the cruise. I’ve already booked my specialty dining for my upcoming cruise on Epic. Otherwise, you can do it on board at the... restaurant, at the kiosks, in the app, or in the TV in your state room.See More
Answered by Finnabair on December 20, 2022
A: There are kiosks on the walls throughout the ship.
Answered by BLMARYANOVSKY on December 17, 2022
A: through the app if you have it. pretty sure you can book from the tv in your room as well.

Q: How much does a cup of Starbucks coffee cost? Is it worth getting the unlimited package for a cup or two per day?
Thumbs Up
1
A: It cost about the same as a Starbucks drink at any US Starbucks store. (about $5.50-6.50/drink.)There are recent menus online.It's not worth the Starbucks package with only drinking one SB a day.
Answered by Sunshinegal2022 on December 9, 2022
A: Unlimited drink package doesn’t include Starbucks.
Answered by mckey70hotmailcom on December 5, 2022
A: I meant the unlimited Starbucks package.
Answered by tltcajun on December 5, 2022
A: No. It’s not a true Starbucks. They just sell their coffee.

A: The Choir Of Man was absolutely the best show I’ve seen on a cruise!! Got pics with the cast, so much fun we loved it
Answered by bmastin67 on November 6, 2022
A: It is now Choir of Man, and it is fantastic…
Answered by mckey70hotmailcom on November 6, 2022
A: Didn’t see it on the ship 5 months ago, and haven’t heard about it on any forum.
Answered by jpmato16 on November 6, 2022
A: Yes, there is a walking/jogging path on upper level, 17 maybe? I walk the lower deck, 8 I think. 4 laps for a mile I was told.
Answered by Hurster97 on October 21, 2022
A: The jogging track is near a smoking area, so that’s really a poor design by Norwegian
Answered by Finnabair on December 20, 2022
A: The waterfront on deck 8 is a great place to walk. Awesome views of the water and sunsets. There are plenty of loungers to rest on and bars! It's more relaxing to walk there compared to the jogging track. Enjoy ⚓

Q: Has anyone received a price adjustment after already booking? My price alert is showing a price drop however my TA won't honor it. Has anyone experienced that?

A: I just got a reduction on my next cruise on the Escape! This is just one of the many reasons I never use a TA. NCL gave me the credit no questions asked!
Answered by crusin4gramma on August 25, 2022
A: If it is after the time that it has to be paid in full NCL does not honor it.
Answered by donald1lane on August 25, 2022
A: If you are paid in full, you should receive an on board credit. I too am an agent and we can’t honor the reduction if it is after full payment, but we can get the reduction in an on board credit.
Answered by kvance4802 on August 25, 2022
A: Are you paid in full? I have had this happen in the past, both when I was & wasn't paid in full. When I was, my T/A gave me additional on board credit. When I wasn't, she adjusted accordingly.
Answered by annrock13 on August 24, 2022
A: All cabins with exceptions if the solo ones

A: Just know that you will be situated right over the waterfront where there may be outdoor smoking. There are bars and restaurants with outdoor seating on deck 8. You might want to check deck plans for deck 8 to see if you might be bothered by what is... below you. Enjoy your cruise!See More

A: I think I pretty much narrowed it down after a lot of searching. So excited about all the new things we are going to experience!

Q: Does anyone know if they accept the Walgreens Covid test for the 10 days Greece cruise?
Thumbs Up
1
A: As long as it’s a supervised PCR or antigen test taken within 3 days of your cruise date from a non-US port, and you’re provided with a digital or printed copy of all the info and results, it should be ok, according to their sail safe page. If you tu... rn up without this they were testing at the pier but charging for it. Some countries/ports have their own requirements that supersede the 3 days and needed a test within the last 24 hours, NCL were administering this additional test free of charge at the pier. Athens was definitely requiring this a few weeks ago, Spain and Italy were the standard 3 days. Keep checking the cruise travel requirements by country on their website for any changes though.See More
Answered by Dumfy75 on May 5, 2022
A: There is no reason they wouldn’t, but the testing timeframe for some countries prior to boarding is 24 hours. I don’t know if there are Walgreens in Europe.
Answered by jpmato16 on May 5, 2022
A: Some items are/or used to be complementary, but hot items or specialty items there is a $9.95 charge each time.
Answered by lucindancarl on April 29, 2022
A: Yes there is a room service charge with any cabin booked. ? Maybe not if you’re in a huge suite
