Pina colada and fruity drinks will be free. You have up to $15 which the plan covers. Restrictions do apply to top shelf liquor, etc. If you don't use the shore excursion credit at each port, you lose it per cabin. Just an incentive for you to book with NCL. Some people think they automatically get this money. If you book an excursion, then the credit will show up on your room account.

We have done this before. Our catamaran pulled us close enough to the beach that you got off in maybe a foot of water. We had someone with a broken arm even able to do this as well. Couldn't tell you how often it wasn't able to pull ashore, but the catamaran is designed perfectly for this. They only need the front part of the boat where you disembark through a hatch onto the beach.

We did this first thing. They explained a few things, scanned our cards and we were off the have lunch in the MDR. Not sure if they still do this but we had to watch the video on our room TV before we could access our account.

I like the specialty dining on Norwegian. I like some over others, but that's just my preferences.

Yikes! Might want a new PCC. Changing the age will create some trouble for you at boarding.

All depends if you're a spa person. You have to make time to use it. They will sell a limited number of passes per cruise around $200 maybe for the week.

I've had goof and bad service. Sometimes if you don't get the answer you're looking for, call back and you'll get someone different. We don't use PCC, just too much hassle for us.

Coupon time! New perks?

Saw on some recent dailies for the Encore. Vip passes to the spa were limited to 200 passes at $316.

The closets always have enough room. My wife and I always overpack and fit everything in. You may need to request more hangers or bring some.

Always go with insurance. Why take the risk.

Muster drill station check-in. Sign up for shows. Mdr for lunch.

Very light offerings. I was very disappointed in this. After seeing photos it looked great, but was a let down.

We head to the MDR. Just a different atmosphere from the buffet. The local isn't a bad option either.

I always pack a few outfits in my carry on for this exact reason. Did you go to the place where bags with illegal items go? How about cruise tags, still attached to the bags and easy to read? I just can't see them not loading a bag that was placed with the other ship bags.
