We are really excited about our first cruise on board the Explorer 2. Perhaps you more seasoned cruisers could help us. We are on this cruise in a few months and we have heard about the "Dress to Impress" nights which could occur twice on our cruise. Would anyone be able to inform us if this takes place in the speciality restaurants like The Dining Club, Kora La or Surf and Turf or does it apply to all the restaurants?

We are also on this cruise,  Dress to impress is entirely up to you.  I don’t know if my husband will be taking his dinnersuit cos we’ve only 20kg luggage.   See you onboard. 

We are also booked on this cruise to Jamaica,   We are on the very early morning from Manchester.  Roll on November 

Hi,   Do NCL have tables in MDR And buffet restaurant for people in Wheelchairs and disabled .thanks

This is nothing to do with the free at sea gratuities.

 

This is the service charge which is added to your bill every day during the cruise (unless you prepay it).

Hi,   I’m from U.K. and was told that our free at sea package included the gratuity.

Service charge is on top of the "free" package.

If you’re from the U.K. it’s already included in the price.

Hi, I’m also hoping to board early,   We land in Buenos Aires at 8-30 am and we are both disabled.   

Hi,  if you’ve booked an inside cabin and you want to bid on a balcony suite  the bidding is £0.  —-  £495.   What would you bid.  Thanks

Bailey’s included in premium plus. In the duty free shop on the Bliss last week it was $26 for a liter. Amazing. 

£10 litre in U.K. supermarkets 

I was. Surprised to find A crew wages.  It’s a  list of what each crew member gets paid, from kitchen porter to head chef.      I better not post it cos it would cause problems.  But believe me I’m taking the gratuities off and I’ll tip myself. 

Wands aren’t allowed either. 

Hi,   We are going on NCL star  next  year and wondering if you still have to walk through the scanner when boarding the ship. My husband is bringing allowed through them . He does have a card saying he has a defib.

We’ve found a lot of ports aren’t that scooter/wheelchair friendly.     But at least you could put the scooter in the boot of a taxi and go site seeing.

I rented a scooter for the first time on the Apex this past January and it was a a game-changer!

 

Apart from almost killing a couple people (eek!), I got used to it and it saved me a lot of discomfort, so much so that we just bought one.

 

We'll be flying Atlanta to L.A. this coming January to board the Sostice, headed for the Mexican Riviera and, apart from one tendered port (Cabo), the rest are docked, so I should be able to take it ashore with me.

We bought a lightweight folding mobility scooter about 5 years ago.  It’s the best thing we every bought.   We take it on cruises and land holidays.   We are lucky we don’t have to pay for it on the flights.   

Premium drinks,   Has anyone a list of included drinks please.   I clicked on previous link but it didn’t work. 

Thanks everyone,   It’s a South American itinerary. 

Hi,  We’ve just booked a  2 week cruise and got the Free at sea.    It’s been a while since we’ve been with NCL so I’m not sure how this works.   
Are the drinks free only when at sea or all the time,   I know we can have the gratuities  added to the bill. But will there be other taxes and anything. Thanks

Hi,  We’ve just returned last night off Discovery and last week there was a meeting on deck 5 near reception and Lynn who’s an officer onboard actually said the £250 is not compensation but a goodwill gesture. 

We went on Discovery 2 in January and hubby was in a wheelchair,  I’m pretty fit but I found it hard work pushing the wheelchair, We’ve just booked on it again but he’s taking a mobility scooter this time. 

Hi. We have just book this cruise today. Flying from Manchester 

Hi,  If your between 50 and 74 and female join the WI because there’s an insurance company that covers you without medical screening.  My husband has heart failure and had heart attack.  Annual worldwide is £315 a year and includes cruises and upto 65 days away at a time.  

Ummm, no it can't. 100% cannot.

Hi, I just thought I'd tell you that my son set an alarm off in a plane with using an ECig in the loo. He got told off and had to do the walk of shame to his seat.

I can't see any problem using them in the cabin, Azamara allows them cos my husband used his in the cabin in December.

Hi, we have an accessible cabin booked next month, Are there accessible areas in the theatre, When we was on P&O we had to show our cabin key to show we was in a accessible cabin. Apparently people who weren't disabled were sitting in the seats.

Hi, This is our first Rcci cruise, We are used to cruising on uk P&O. Do many people take dinnersuits and long dresses. How formal are Rcci. It's a fly cruise and the weather will be hot. Thanks in advance

Hi, we've just got all our paperwork for our cruise next month and it doesn't mention the select drink package we got free. But we was told it will be added when we board the ship.
