You can email special events and they will set up reservations for you in the main dining room, taste, savor and specialty if needed. We leave on 12/29 and I did this at 120 days for our group of 13, super easy and low stress!

There are special events that can book for a large group. I was able to make dinner reservations for our party of 13 through special events for our trip (in 21 days!). You email them specialevents (add the ship name IE Bliss, Escape, Sky, etc) at NCL.com the dates, restaurant, time requested and number in the party.  Take the shows into account when making your request too. 

Good luck!

Great review! We leave on 12/29!  Your review is making me more excited!  😀

This is awesome!  Thank you.

Skee ball wasn't included anyway, so you aren't missing out.

 

Edit: Can confirm. I had the arcade pass on the Escape 10/14 sailing and skee ball was not included.

JamieLogical were the games in The Local (pool and darts) included?  I purchased for my girls prior to the price increase, now I feel like we got a great deal!

Noelly,

Did you do this online or with a person, and are you in the same room as your kids?

I'm on NCL.com right now, and it will only let me add per room.  I can't just let the kids get it.

 

I was able to add it for just my girls, we are all in the same cabin. I used the NCL app at 60 days out. I just checked our edocs and it shows it for them. 

When I clicked on the arcade package it showed all four of our names. I selected to add it to each kid and submit. My credit card was charged $52 in 2 separate transactions. It was similar to adding the soda package for my younger daughter. 

I just purchased the arcade package (today is our 60 days out!!!😀) for two people. It gave me the option to add and I selected the kids.  Charge was $112 ($56x2).

Was there an age limit at Howl at the Moon?  My kids are 14 and 15

We took our girls, 12 and 14 to the early show. I think there might be for the later show. 

We brought our own last year and had a great time.  We were not charged additional fees. 

If you contact special events (all on word including ship name at NCL dot com) with the date, location, preferred time and number of people special events will make the reservations on behalf of your group. It took approximately theee weeks for special events to coordinate our dinner reservations for a party of thirteen.  I did specialty, MDR, Taste and Savor in my request. I did list multiple locations and two times on my email to ease the booking. 

You will need to buy the soda package for your daughter.

We cruised the Escape last December and witnessed a crew member remove items. He placed a sticker on the corner of the chair and then came back about an hour, did something to the sticker. Came back in less than 30 minutes and removed the items. The people retuned about 2 hours after that and looked shocked that other people were in their chairs. They accused the folks of taking their chairs, I spoke up and told them a crew member removed the towels after 2 hours of non use nearly 3 hours ago. They huffed off, my new neighbors thanked me for the defense!

It’s available 60 days out. I tried to book it for our Dec 29 trip and the phone agent told me no. He was new so I might call back again. He also told me everyone in the room has to book it.

With a severe allergy like this, I would definitely contact the access desk. NCL takes allergies very seriously and they will work to get you food that is guaranteed safe for you.

Yes, NCL is very serious about allergies. My teenage DD is allergic to eggs and dairy. She can consume small quantities when it is baked at a high temperature (friend chicken finger, pancakes, cake, etc) but not cheese or cream based. We told the dining staff in savor of her allergy and it took them an extra 30 minutes to find something for her lunch. She was furious (Hangry teen is terrifying!🤬) she ended up with a piece of meat on a plate- nothing else. I was touched, her sister, MIL and DH totally entertained. She went and ate a burger at the buffet.

Yes, they take food allergies very serious and have sorbet. However, be very cautious at the bar with the cross contamination, the blenders and shakers are rinsed but not washed.

I have been told weekly Racetrack passes are sold. Were they available on your cruise?

I was told yesterday by a reservation clerk via phone that you can purchase a weekly unlimited pass for $99.95 and a daily unlimited pass for $29.95 per person. However, if you can’t reservations is it worth it?

The unlimited arcade pass isn’t available to purchase over the phone until 60 days out. I had read some people being able to purchase before the cruise for $8 and only the kids. The guy I spoke with said it must be purchased for all members of the cabin.

Does the unlimited package include skee ball (specifically on the Bliss). Thank you!

The crepes in the buffet at night! They are tucked away from all the food and are amazing. My daughters are only crepes on night for dinner, it’s vacation!

The ropes course is very fun, my daughter was able to time it right and did it back to back times because there was no wait. We waited until the last day and waited in line for almost 2 hours- do it early!

Make a trip to Howel at the Moon, the piano bar, was so fun! Bring some fives to wrap the song requests in. They did a Taylor Swift montage for my daughter that was hysterical.

Have fun! We did Escape last year the week before Christmas, this year we are doing the Bliss for the New Year!
