I would say that its cancelled if its removed from the port's schedule. Which ship is it? NCL has been moving ships around for the last couple of months.
Your best bet would be in The Local. They have tvs on both the bar side and restaurant side. The issues is going to be if they are able to get it though. Cruise lines that get ESPN will normally have the international feed which shows mostly soccer.
I know on the Getaway, the escape room was held in the Illusionarium but it was a bunch of teams and they give each team a bunch of puzzles to complete at their table. I would guess the ones held in the Q are similar.
For the drink package, you paid the 20% when you booked your cruise if you accepted the package. Same with the dining package. The only extra gratuity on drinks will be if you go over the $15 limit. You will pay 20% on the difference. Say you order a $17 drink, you will pay the $2 overage and .40 gratuity(20% of the $2).
Almost all supplement items are on dishes that include lobster. I would bet the decision is being made based on the margins on lobster items being lower.
I ended up upgrading to FAS+. Was already planning to upgrade my internet and probably another just so I don't come home to a $600 phone bill again. Already had three specialty dining booked and planned on buying a couple of excursions that were priced the same with NCL as private. This all made the price to upgrade the drink package workable.
I agree. The wine included with the unlimited package are not great so we usually find a couple we like on the premium plus list and pay the difference. We usually only drink wine as a before dinner drink and then another glass at dinner.
Yes. Currently at Cagney's, the Surf & Turf is $25 extra and if you want to add a lobster tail to end entree for $25. At Le Bistro, the filet w/ foie gras($10) and Lobster Thermidor($25) are extra. You can ignore all the other prices on the menu as long as you stay within the allowable included items.
If this frustrates you then you should probably consider no longer cruising. It’s standard practice with all the big cruise lines. They all have sales right now with countdowns and once the countdown ends, either the sale gets extended or it changes but the pricing stays the same.
The main reason to upgrade to the Premium is if you are a whiskey/scotch drinker. The higher end whiskey are $35+ so a couple of those and you are already ahead.
NCL only releases a limited amount of online reservations at 125/120 days. They leave space available for on board which you can do at the reservation desk after you get on board.
