LOL - Thanks for this. I live in Dubai and miss my trips to Vegas so in advance of the Wynn opening in RAK, just wondered if i could get a 3 day cruise fix. My concern though was there isnt a lot of sailing so casino time would probably be limited and i was hoping there was more "American" slots rather than typical Euro ones. Yeah any other info you can give, without it costing you too much trouble of course, would be appreciated but i get the idea now anyway. Again, very much appreciated you taking the time to reply.

Thanks WCook. Can you advise if its only open when at sea or if its open when you were in dock in Dubai?? (I presume it wasnt of course but worth checking) Also.....and apologies for asking. Do you know if there are Video Poker machines or a Video Poker Bar. As well as what kind of slots there are. IE - Are there the classic Buffalos, Huff n Puff, All aboard machines. Ive tried to research to see a good walk through video of the machines and cant seem to find any. Thanks in advance.

Just checking if anyone has been on recent cruises around Dubai/Doha/Muscat etc and if you can advise if the casinos were open when at sea. Thanks.

Did anyone on this topic sail around the Emirates like Dubai, Qatar, Oman Abu Dhabi and if so, can you please tell me if the casino was open or closed ? Thanks in advance.

Apologies for going a little off topic but i feel this group can answer my question the quickest. Ive only ever done European cruises and when in Europe they close the on board casinos whilst in port. Is this the same in USA and the Caribbean as im thinking of pulling the trigger and doing one this summer. Also, we really love Bar Top VP when in Vegas and we therefore love the Norwegian set up. Brownie points if you can suggest other ships with the best bar top machines. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, im looking at Spectrum sailing from Singapore to Shanghai but our end destinations is going to be Hong Kong. Are you able to leave a cruise early before reaching Shanghai on Day 5 or 6 or do you need to sail the entire cruise ? Thanks in advance.

Yeah. I'm meaning 2 boxes of 6 bottles. Is that too much?

I have the alcohol package and can see from other topics I can bring Prosecco on board buy my question is by what method.... Ie...I have no room in my 1 case. Would it be OK to rock up with a box of wine and hand that over alongside my case. Or will I need to find room in my case somehow?

Thanks Keith.

Sorry to jump in on this topic but it is related and i thought it best to not start a brand new one. If a solo traveller has 3 speciality dining packages, can they use 1 for another traveller who doesnt have any at a meal for 2 ? Also, as a solo traveller can i book a table for 2 and use my speciality package for 1 person whilst the other person just pays the a la carte prices as thei meal price at La Cucina isnt going to be worth buying another speciality package for ?

Hi there and hope you are enjoying your cruise. Can you confirm if its still open and what the nightly entertainment has been on it ? Thanks in advance.

Wow. That is defo a game changer. That's excellent news for my companion. Thanks for this. Separate question to above, if someone is on the Premium Plus package, are they allowed to get a bottle of prosecco or champagne for a night on the balcony? Or is it just by the glass through room service?

I didn't think you were allowed to take your own alcohol on board. This is potentially a game changer. What's the process for that and is there a charge from NCL?

Morning all. Checking in for a friend who has the "Free at Sea" package and therefore all the standard alcoholic drinks included. I was having a look and couldnt see any prosecco on the package and even checking the Premium Plus package there doesnt seem to be any mention of it on there either. Are there any prosecco/champagne drinkers who can fill us in on the difference on the packages. Also keen to know where Grey Goose sits on the grand scheme of things. Thanks in advance

Yeah, I've had a look around and can't see anything. I wonder if booking it in European site is different from USA site?

We have someone booking on the same trip as ourselves next month and Im trying to see if i can book a cabin close by however whenever im online looking to book, i cant seem to find anywhere the option to pick a deck and cabin. Is there something im missing or has Norwegian changed its policy to always anonymously choose a cabin ? Im also curious to see the current capacity of the ship though i appreciate it may change in 4 weeks. Is there anywhere online to view that also ?

Thanks all for the responses on this one. Very very good information and hadnt thought about the drinks on the balcony being outwith "the rules" as they have the premium drink package bought but everything said makes sense. Will defo run it past the staff and we can see from there. And yeah, no expectations from me so will understand if its a no. TY. x

Hi all, I've booked a Haven Suite for an upcoming cruise and my friend has booked a balcony room. I 100% understand they won't be able to use the Haven facilities but I was wondering if in general there is an issue with them accessing my suite. Ie if we wanted to sit on the balcony and have some room service, is this allowed or is it frowned upon? Thanks in advance.

Cheers Gerry. Casinos are not normally open at port but the cruise I'm looking at is essentially 3 days at Port Rashid so just curious if it will be pretty much closed the entire trip as that's the only reason I would be going on it. Will contact them directly.

Hi Gerry. Which cruise did you do on Toscana and was the casino open during any trips in Dubai/Abu Dhabi if you were there ?

Hi there. I know the norm on ships but looking at the 5 day cruise on Toscana with 3 days at port. Do you know if the casino was open when it was in port on your trip ?
