Does ncl have staggered check in times like other cruise lines? Do you get an assigned boarding time to arrive at port depending on when you check in online?

Hi. We are a party of 9 thinking of going on the Norweigan Bliss, Escape, Getaway or Breakaway. I know you can make reservations online for specialty dining up to party of 8.  

I was told from a friend who sailed on the Norweigan Escape that for a party of 9 we will have to eat very early or late due to our party size when making a reservation. They mentioned they were in the Haven and their concierge was able to make reservations and they have priority in dining reservations.

So, for example lets say I am booked in a Haven Suite and I want to make a reservation for La Cucina for a party of 9 on Monday at 5:30 pm thru my concirge. If somebody already made a reservation online for La Cucina for a party of 8 for the same time does their reservation get bumped. Im sure the restaurant only has capacity for a certain amount of people.

Has anybody been in this situation where they made reservation thru a concierge thru the haven or had a reservation get cancelled for a large party for no reason?

Thanks

Hi. I am new to NCL. I am thinking of going on the Escape, Bliss, Getaway or Breakway.

How do the shows  in the Main Theater works? I know you need to make reservations ahead of time and there is general 2 showings a night (7:30 and 10 pm). How many shows  in the main theater are shown generally during a 7 day cruise?  I am under the impression it is 3 main shows in the main theater which repeat on multiple nights. How do they check to see that you have reservations and how much time before the show do you need to show up?

Any info would be appreciated?

Thanks

Does anybody know any info about island tours with no beach since Disney Fantasy docked last Tuesday Aug 28th (Post Hurricane)? I see that Elroy Pleasure tours has a store in Pier Park? Do you have to go to the store to schedule a tour or can you just go to the end of the pier to get a tour? We are hoping to get off the ship super early and get an island tour around 9 am? Is the end of Pier Park the best place to get an island tour? We dont want to wait long to do an island tour as we will have our 5 yr old with us and dont want to do a private tour. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks
