I have a cruise on the NCL Jade which includes two Free at Sea offers. I chose the drink package and am considering the specialty dining. For those that have used the specialty dining, is it worth it? Are the meals noticeably better than the formal dining room?
With NCL "nothing" is truly Free at Sea. You get hit with a gratuity on the "retail" value of the Perk which for my drink package was $336.00 per person. The Specialty Dining will be about $75.00 per person. NCL valuing their drink package at $99.00 per person is ridiculous. You are limited to drinks of $15.00 or less which means you would have to drink 7 drinks of $15.00 per day to break even. It is so cheap it doesn't even included bottled water.
