Review summary

We just returned from Alaska - very nice cruise. Been on NCL before - very standard fare for cruise. They are known for great dining options and chose Ultimate Dining package which allowed for specialty restaurants every night.

Once on ship we were told that the package was only good for 3 nights. Went back to looked at the NCL and websites and no mention of this change was noted. Beware if you are looking for full dining package. Otherwise cruise went smoothly.

It says very clearly in black and white when you choose the dining package that it's for 3 nights. It used to be 4 that's what we got for our upcoming cruise on the jewel. There's only so many specialty restaurants though so you don't really need all 7 nights. I want to experience the main dining room once as well. Also sometimes you're tired and just want to go to the buffet or order room service.

It doesn't say it anywhere I read, but I noticed on our confirmation that it says speciality for two people x3... It is disappointing though. Were you able to use them in any of the restaurants without any up charge??

Cabin with balcony, starboard, mid ship was ideal to an easy, quiet, scenic view of a glorious part of North America and the Tongas.
