Wondering how big the bags are & are they per person or per cabin? We'll be traveling 2 days pre-cruise then the 7 days of the cruise in May to Greece (Jade). Trying to think of making sure we have enough to get us through to the bag deal day. Would rather spend our money on fun stuff than laundry 🙂

I hope I'm not repeating this question - I couldn't find it on the board. We have some reservations for specialty restaurants & want to adjust them due to some changes in our plans/excursions. Can I do that online or do I have to call?

Thank you! I wondered if that would be the case.

We're not new to cruising, but are new to NCL - will be on the Jade in May to Greece. We have the Free at Sea package with 2 specialty dining meals, but wondered how that worked at the a la carte restaurants. My understanding of the a la carte is it's like a traditional restaurant where you pay for what you order or where things are priced individually; whereas the regular specialty dining is just more of a cover/up charge. Is that correct? I've tried finding specifics on the boards but I haven't found anything. On Celebrity, there wasn't a difference so just wanted to know what to expect if there was a difference. Thanks!

Thank you! I had a feeling NCL would not be the same, but as you said, the destination & fare/deals we got really were the deciding factor for us. We likely won't spend a lot of time on the ship given we've never been to Greece & since there are no full sea days, I'm less concerned. And it's still not like a Carnival atmosphere - at least not with that itinerary (hopefully!)

Hi all, We just booked our first NCL cruise on the Jade to the Greek Isles!! We've sailed Celebrity Summit (aquaclass level) 3 times & have always had amazing experiences. We have a Club Suite balcony & know that NCL doesn't have the private dining room like Celebrity (Blue) with our level of room, nor does is have the Thalassotherapy pool (both of which we loved). The ships look very similar in size, but hoping those who have sailed on both can highlight some of the differences - both good and bad. Thanks in advance!

Thank you for these! We just booked this for May 2023. I know it may change a bit but we’ve never cruised NCL so it’s nice to get an idea of how they do their dailies. One question - the specialty restaurants have some that are a’la carte & othered that are just the cover/up charge. We’ve sailed Celebrity & those are just the upcharge, so how does a’la carte charge work with the specialty dining promo? thanks!

We just booked our Greek Isles cruise for 2023 & got the free air option but after going through the details with the agent on the phone, I have concerns given we have NO control over which flights are chosen & we were told upgrades were NOT available at our expense. We won't pay in full until January so we have some time to see what air rates will be & if we should just forego the NCL air/hassle & pay for 2 tickets on our own, even if it costs more. ECHOHEN69 - When you say "take an air credit" what does that mean? Or does that even apply in this case?
