My family and I will be traveling to Roatan on the Norwegian Escape in July. The NCL excursion to Tabyana Beach is a bit steep. I'm curious to know if there are local taxis that will take you to West Bay Beach and if they are reliable? Or is an excursion through a local tour company a better way to go?

I had the same issue. I called NCL's customer service and they told me I wasn't able to reserve because the online reservations were all booked. They only open 35% of their reservations online and leave the remaining for onboard reservations. I was in a bit of a panic, but the friendly folks here on CC reassured me that I should have no trouble making reservations while onboard. I am planning on boarding early so I can make the reservations as soon as I am on the ship. I am keeping my fingers crossed that all works out!

Thank you everyone for the info. I feel more relieved now hearing that I should not have an issue making reservations while onboard. This is my first time on NCL, so this concept is new to me. I've been on 3 Carnival cruises before and am so excited to try NCL as I have heard that the food is great and the ambiance is so much better for families. Happy cruising everyone :)

You can download the NCL app and even book your reservations from the terminal while waiting to board. You can pick up the ship's wifi when standing close to the ship. I planned my week out for the family then was able to get exactly the times I wanted while waiting in the terminal. Book restaurants and entertainment. Easy peasy!! Enjoy your cruise.

What a relief! thanks for the info!

My family and I are going on the NCL Escape on 7/22. This was a last minute trip, so luckily we were still able to find decent accommodations and take advantage of the free 3 special dining package promotion. However, the online reservations for the special restaurants seem to be all booked. I called customer service and they told me that they release 35% of their reservations online 90-days prior and that they book really quickly, but that I can make the reservations while I'm onboard. This is my first time cruising on NCL and am now having anxiety over the reservations. What has been your experience with making reservations while onboard? Any tips for this first time "free- styler" is much appreciated Thnx!
