It's on the front page of the Freestyle daily, typically in the bottom left side corner. Look at any of the dailies posted on this board and you will see it.

Go to the Ports of Call forum on this board and review all the information available for Italy. You will find many hotel recommendations and modes of transport to the port from Rome. There are also many YouTube videos for transportation and tour options for Rome. Enjoy your cruise.

That outlet has been there since the beginning. I was on the original TA from Southampton and was told they are to make life easier for CPap users. Viva has them also.

You can book speciality restaurants 120 days out, either on the website, via chat or on the app. It is not necessary to book complimentary restaurants unless you have a large party and I would not bother for this type of cruise, as you will have very busy days. You might want to grab something quick in the buffet, or if you get back earlier try the MDR. Wear what you want but trust me, on these types of cruises, I am lucky if I get a chance to freshen up before eating and going to bed. I love food tours and trying to local cuisine off the ship so that by the time I get on, food is the last thing on my mind. Enjoy your cruise.

I don't think I have been on an NCL cruise where the Cruise Next desk wasn't open at embarkation, as they are there to make Behind the Scenes and Dinner with the Officer reservations, as well as answer other questions, such as your own. I don't find the tendering process difficult or a mystery but every ship is a little different. There should be information in the Dailies also. Enjoy your cruise.

I would check with the Cruise Next desk once you board the ship, They will be able to give you the correct information for your particular cruise on that ship.

Yes, it is two specialty dinners for 2, one with a bottle of wine. And you get this for every cruise, not just once. Enjoy your cruise!

Good catch! I didn't even look to see where the ship was sailing from...just assumed if someone was doing a B2B, it would be from the same port.

It sounds like there is a one day "non-rev" cruise in between your two sailings. I think you not only will have to pack up your cabin but will have to find a place to stay on land during that one night. This is during Aqua's first US sailings and it's not unusual to have cruises for media and travel agents that don't actually sail but have people on board to learn about the ship, You might want to call NCL and look into this further.

You can use the app. You will earn the 'stars' for your purchases but cannot use the 'stars' to buy drinks on the ship. The balance on your card won't update until you get to shore and use data but they will give you a receipt that shows your balance after every purhcase, it you ask.

There are so many great places to eat in NYC, I don't know where to begin. In Midtown, we like to go to John's Pizzeria of Times Square on 44th Street. It gets busy before the theatre so if we are seeing a show, we get there around 5:30 to avoid the crowds. Also great for lunch (opens at 11:30). Best fish and chips we have had are at A Salt and Battery in the West Village. A tiny hole in the wall owned by 2 Brits. Walk the High Line and stop into Chelsea Market for a bite or two but, unless things have changed, not a lot of seating. Two thumbs up for Katz Deli and Economy Candy. Los Tacos #1 is in midtown and has good (and cheap) tacos. Always a long line but it moves fast. I recommend taking the subway to the first Brooklyn stop and walking back over the bridge towards Manhattan...early Sunday morning is very peaceful with a wonderful view...night time is spectacular also. As many times as I have been to NYC, I have never heard of Mama Jo's. You can bet that I will be there in June the morning of my Joy cruise. Thanks for that suggestion. Have a wonderful cruise. I may have to put this on my bucket list.

No washclothes is a European thing. I always pack my own, sometimes an older one, which I leave behind.

Thank you for the ferry schedule. I am on the June 16th sailing too and have never been to Bermuda so this is very helpful. Enjoy your time on the island!

So you get a 'free' upgrade from an inside to a balcony after final payment (which I have never seen in many NCL cruises) and you are still complaining about nickel and diming? Before you took the upgrade you could have asked the representative about the additional FAS dinner...if he/she had told you it wasn't included, would you have declined the cabin upgrade??
