Answer Question
Q: Does anyone know the rules for bringing vitamins and protein powder? Does any of it have to be in original packaging and/or the powder in an unsealed package? Can special needs be requested with the ship, if necessary?

A: I didn’t see it on the prohibited items list but google search suggested to bring documentation for vitamins and protein powder needed to be sealed in original packaging. I’d prefer not to bring that big of a container.
Answered by morebigbucks on October 17, 2024
A: You can bring whatever vitamins and nutritional powders you want, as long as they’re not illegal. You just can’t bring liquid protein drinks.
Answered by jpmato16 on October 17, 2024
A: Special needs can be requested by filling out a dedicated form which can be found under accessibility assistance on the website.No problem with vitamins or protein, I would say. Not mentioned on the list of prohibited items.

Q: We have never cruised before. I read that someone was lucky enough to get passes for the adult Vibe Pool. Is that still a thing?

A: You need to reserve the vibe and I think it's expensive
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on September 22, 2024
A: The Vibe Beach Club is an adults only area on some Norwegian ships. It has loungers, a bar and a hot tub but does not have a pool. I believe they used to sell day passes but on the last few cruises I’ve been on they only sold the week long passes.
Answered by RC2cruises on September 22, 2024
A: They have it, but not sure how much and you need to reserve

A: I used to carry a universal remote with me (NCL) uses Samsung most of the time. But NCL has an input option on the screen of television menu . Note it took me two days of trying to get my HDMI in the plug i had to take a picture of it then try blind... ly to get it in. You can't conect roku to the wifi but you can connect other devicesSee More
Answered by picalo on April 21, 2024
A: The inputs are usually disabled. Some people have been able to connect on the newer NCL ships and change the input with a universal remote they brought onboard. Not easily done.
Answered by jpmato16 on April 21, 2024
A: it is possible to connect via HDMI. The TV input source is tricky. Not all remotes have input buttons. Before sailing, download remote for TV in the cabin to a smartphone phone. Good luck!

A: Norwegian has two optional gala nights on a seven night cruise but you are free to dine anywhere without dressing up although Le Bistro and Ocean Blue do require long pants and collared shirt for men and appropriate attire for women.
Answered by RogueWaveRider on March 16, 2024
A: The only restaurants across the Norwegian fleet that enforce a dress code are Le Bistro and Ocean Blue that require men to wear long pants and a collared shirt and women to dress in nice pants or dress along with an appropriate blouse or top. Otherwi... se ALL the other restaurants allow casual wear.See More
Answered by RogueWaveRider on March 16, 2024
A: Edit: there are no formals on Norwegian Cruise line. It's called dress up or not. not stressed up. I use my voice so it came out funny. there are certain restaurants that you do have to dress up a little nicer on the getaway and it was Tropicana.
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on March 16, 2024
A: there are no formals on Norwegian Cruise line. it's stress ed up or not, but there's always one restaurant that you have to dress a little bit dressier. on the breakaway it was the Manhattan on the getaway it was a tropicana.

Q: Will be on The Getaway on a transatlantic cruise next month. One of the stops is in Le Harve (Paris) but my understanding is that it’s a 2.5 hour ride to the city from the port. Is it worth it to take a tour of Paris? Or is it better to just explore the immediate area of Normandy? Thanks in advance!!

A: 2 1/2 hours there is 2 1/2 hours back. Paris, a great walk around city, is worth an add on or a come back. Our favorite city. Besides the tourist attractions, a MUST is Berthillon ice cream on Isle St Louie. The island behind Notra Dame
Answered by susanleslie on March 11, 2024
A: it is worth it if you want to see Eifel Tower and Paris Piramid. Also, you might have time to see Luvre, which a must to see when in Paris. Good Luck!
Answered by maectpo58 on March 11, 2024
A: We are doing Paris next time. Highly recommend Mont St Michel. What an amazing place. Bus ride was long but not 2.5 hours
Answered by carolsmith169 on March 11, 2024
A: Given the distance, don’t risk it. Only do excursions offered by the ship.

A: Taste, savor and the Tropicana are the primary dining rooms. They have the garden buffet where you can eat inside or outside. They also have o’sheehans that is open 24 hours. They also have the American diner but it’s mostly breakfast.
Answered by Gammi6 on March 2, 2024
A: The main dining room and buffet is paid through your cruise fare. look online on NCL and see what you pay for extra. it's just so much easier to do that.
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on March 2, 2024
A: look up on NCL and see what you pay for through your cruise fare and what is not paid for through your cruise fare. buffet and MDR are paid through your cruise fare.

Answered by kellygiff23 on February 12, 2024
A: Welcome to the World of Cruising! Per the NCL site, it states Bag Allowances: Each guest is allowed two pieces of checked luggage with a 50-pound maximum each, same as airlines. The luggage should be clearly labeled with your name, address and cont... act number. Bring an Additional Small Bag: It may take a few hours after embarkation for your luggage to be delivered to your stateroom.See More

A: they will let you know what's included but when we were on the Getaway in 2022 we got soup or salad, main meal and dessert that was included.
Answered by barb1967 on January 28, 2024
A: It varies by restaurant, but you usually get an app, soup/salad, main and dessert. If you are looking at the online menus, you will see notes on items that may have additional charges.
Answered by jlynlevis on January 28, 2024
A: Some restaurants are a fixed price, while others are a la carte. For the a la Carter restaurants, you get a starter, main, and dessert. There are no restrictions except where noted on the menu. If you look at the menus online, you will see that... some may say something like $25.00 supplement for the dining package. These would be the only items that are not fully covered.See More

Q: I have the drink package on our cruise is it true I have to pay taxes while at dock and if so when does that end? Also I am still interested in any info or pictures of stateroom 8778

A: Yes you have to pay while in dock but only USA docks. So if you board I. Miami you will pay taxes until you leave port. I can’t remember if we paid in any other ports
Answered by Gammi6 on January 22, 2024
A: While in US waters, tax is charged. However it is very minor. I paid a total of less than10.00 on my last cruise that left out of New Orleans. It takes 8 hours to sail down the Mississippi River coming and going.
Answered by jlynlevis on January 28, 2024
A: Yes, you'll pay taxes until you reach international waters (when the slot machines and gift shops open). You'll also be responsible upon return if you plan on getting up early enough to make purchases before debarkation.
Answered by abarrett7 on January 24, 2024
A: If you are FaceBook there is a page called Norwegian Getaway Jan. 12 225. They have organized an 80 theme pub Crawl on first day at Sea. Open to anyone. Information is on that site.

Answer QuestionA: Pics, no I don’t have but I know that ship well enough to express concern with 8th floor. Great ship no doubt but many venues are on 8 or maybe above or below. Never have a cabin on above or below ship attractions (pools, bars, dining, etc). Again, g... reat ship.See More
Answered by Gravel6 on January 9, 2024
A: Very close to the main public areas on deck 8 but I'd say too close. I was one deck up (on 9) which was very convenient but also quiet as there are no public areas on that deck.
