Review summary

Sailed with the hubby and our boys. We had the beverage, dining, and 50 free pictures (per cabin, we had 2 cabins) packages. When you see these specials try to get them quick it is worth it. Hubby loved getting his beer whenever he felt like having a drink and relaxing. The kids enjoyed getting the virgin piña coladas (it was like a smoothie for them) and ordering all the other non-alcoholic drinks on top of all the soda they can drink. The dining package was for 4 specialty restrauants per person. We ate at Moderno Chuscarria (first time ever to one these kind of restrauants) it was amazing they kept bringing different types of meat till you flip your card to red (they give you a card with one side the color green to keep the meat coming or the other side colored red to stop). And we tried La Cucina it was good they have different types of pasta to choose from and your standard Italian dishes like lasagna. Now the best restrauant on board hands down is Cagney's if you love steak this is a must. Went twice, it was that good. Now the picture deal was great because, we were able to take pictures every time the ship photographers were taking pictures on the ship and at the ports. We came home with close to 80 pictures from the cruise. (Not to mention all the ones I took)

I was not charged the fee for the beverage and dining package but was charged the gratuity? For it which was 18%. And the pictures were free. This was a promotion that they have periodically.  I know they do sell the packages separately which can be found on their website ncl.com. Hope this was helpful.
