Just a heads up that she will begin boarding at 9:30am and depart at 1:30 to miss Hermes
From Ncl website
Weather alert
We are also closely monitoring the path of Tropical Storm Hermine. To avoid the storm's path, Norwegian Breakaway will depart early from New York, at 1:30 pm, on Sunday, September 4. In order to expedite embarkation we will begin check-in for embarking guests at 9:30 am. We ask that our guests plan to arrive early for check-in so that the ship is able to depart on this revised schedule to avoid the storm’s path. Please continue to monitor ncl.com for any further updates.

As I put in my title, we bought our Drink and Dinning package a year and a half ago before all the changes.
I know I do not have to pay 18% gratuities on drinks and food.
There was never an ala cart charge restaurant when we signed up except for the sushi place.
We like Cagney's and La Bistro but we can eat there as often as we want no charge?
We know we can order only one main dish, but can we have as many sides or deserts as we want no charge?
Can we stop in to any restaurant and just have appetizers or dessert no charge?
Is there any place I can get free lobster on the OLD UDP?
How about no reservations?
I know I still have to keep my drinks under $15 for them to be FREE.
We got lucky as those packages were the best and never to be repeated.
Am I forgetting anything?
your card will have udp on the right corner not sdp that's the cue for the server that you are on the old dinning package so a la carte will not be a problem
you can make your reservation on the ship
LeBistro as the lobster on the menus

We (me, DH & son) are going to book the Escape. Our 1st NCL cruise is next week, just my DH & I for a few days so I amreally NCL illiterate.
We are booking the free at sea....we want the UBP & ppd service charge. If these are "free", what is the choice promo service charge of $199.08 that is being added to our reservation?
Can anyone help me understand this whole promo thing or should I call NCL?
Thanks!
from the NCL website
this is the current promo
What's the service charge?
Why is there a service charge?
The reason there's a fixed service charge is an important one: Our Crew (as are the crew from other lines) is encouraged to work together as a team. Staff members including complimentary restaurant staff, stateroom stewards and behind-the-scenes support staff are compensated by a combination of salary and incentive programs that your service charge supports. How much is the charge? Onboard Service Charges are additional.
How much are the service charges:
• $13.50 USD per person per day for guests staying in Studio, Inside, Oceanview, Balcony and Mini-Suite categories
• $15.50 USD per person per day for guests staying in Suite and The Haven categories
• Guests sailing to Hawaii will be charged an additional 4.275% Pre Paid Service Charge GET Tax
(This will be automatically added to your onboard account)
Are service charges across the board for all guests?
All guests 3 years or older.
How do I prepay my service charges?
Contact your travel professional and request that it be added to your cruise reservation. If you have not made final payment this will be included in your final payment amount or if final payment has already been made we will require full payment at the time it is added.
At what point in the booking process can the prepaid charges be added?
They can be added at anytime up to 24 hours prior to sailing.
Why would I prepay my service charges?
The convenience of pre-paying the service charges allows you to plan your budget prior to your cruise giving you additional freedom while on board.
If I cancel my cruise are the service charges refundable?
Yes! The service charges are 100% refundable. If there is a service issue can the service charges be adjusted on board? Guest satisfaction is the highest priority at Norwegian Cruise Line. We have structured a guest satisfaction program designed to handle any concerns about service or on-board product quickly and efficiently. However, in the event a service issue should arise during your cruise please let our on-board guest services desk staff know right away, so that we can address these in a timely manner. It is our goal to reach a satisfactory solution to any issue when it happens and make sure our guests can focus on enjoying their cruise. Should your concerns not be met with satisfaction you can adjust the charges.
What about Gratuities?
Unlike most other ships in the cruise industry, there is no required or recommended tipping on our ships for service that is generally rendered to all Guests. While you should not feel obligated to offer a gratuity, all of our staff are encouraged to “go the extra mile,” so they are permitted to accept cash gratuities for exceptional or outstanding service if you care to offer them. Also, certain staff positions (e.g., concierge, butler, youth program staff and beverage service) provide service on an individual basis to only some guests and do not benefit from the overall service charge. We encourage those Guests to acknowledge good service from these staff members with appropriate gratuities. Additionally, there is an 18% gratuity and spa service charge added for all spa and salon services, as well as an 18% gratuity and beverage service charge added for all beverage purchases and an 18% gratuity and specialty service charge added to all specialty restaurant dining and entertainment based dining.
We are booking the free at sea....we want the UBP & ppd service charge. If these are "free", what is the choice promo service charge of $199.08 that is being added to our reservation?this is the 18% gratuities for the ubp promo: $79.per day x 7 days x 18% x 2 = $199.08

We will be taking a cruise on the Breakaway soon and had a question about transportation from Secaucus, New Jersey to Manhattan with luggage. We can take the bus (#320 - I think) which takes you to the Port Authority Bus Terminal or the train which takes you to New York Penn Station. Both are $4.25 a person. Our hotel is conveniently located to both stations. We would be doing this early afternoon (before 3:00) on a Thursday. It would be myself and my teenage kids (13 &15). We have traveled a lot and they are used to riding trains and subways and looking after their luggage. I have read that the train station at Secaucus can be confusing and I am wondering about getting the luggage through the turnstiles.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Just got off the BA last May29-june5 , We stayed at the same hotel in Secaucus we took Uber to port Imperial (tunnel was congested) then took Ferry to Midtown / W. 39th St.,We passed behind the Gem and the Ba took some great picture a short walk from pier and the Ba less than 5 minutes walk

Completely random question -- are there celery sticks served up with chicken wings on the ship?
I LOVE chicken wings (and with the UBP and wing availability - NCL seemed to be a no brainer for us) as well as celery and blue cheese. Do the wings on board come with celery? Or at least carrots I hope.
Epic in November if that changes anything!
Here's your answer

Does anyone have a link to recent menus for the Haven Restaurant ...
Also for dinner are you able to order off the menu i.e. something available from a different restaurant that evening or special order if there are dietary concerns?
Thanks

My wife and I just finished our 7 day cruise onboard Pride of America in Hawaii. Our last night I placed my luggage outside our stateroom with the provided Salmon color tag. Next morning we disembarked as instructed and proceeded to baggage claim. Our luggage was not in the Salmon marked area. We searched every color in the entire terminal with no luck. We eventually filled out a lost baggage claim form and was told we'd be contacted.
Has anyone had this happen to them? Can anyone offer advice on how to proceed or what to expect.
I figure I will need to be persistent. I've already started a list of items in the luggage. So frustrating and not the best way to end a cruise ☹️.
They kept saying someone must have mistaken out luggage for theirs. I believe if this was the case another piece of luggage would have been left. We waited in the terminal a long time and all luggage looked to be claimed.
Will update as things progress.
we were on the breakaway May 29th to June 5 2016, we were in the haven suite 13902, Got off the ship around 9.00 am , we were missing 1 luggage. they kept saying someboby took the luggage by mistake , we waited until all luggage were claimed there was 5 luggages unclaimed , we filed a missinf luggage report and hoped for the best . Approx 1 week later we received a call from a pax . The Pax explained He hire a porter to get the luggage and loaded the luggage in the car . When the arrived home they realized they have our luggage they contacted Ncl and informed them of the mistake , they were told to return to port with the luggage , that's a 2 hours drive . Pax opened the luggage and found our information inside the luggage. Pax called us explained what happened and offered to ship the luggage to our home via courrier, Our Name ,telephone # and adress in Canada was inside the luggage. 1 week later we received our missing luggage.

The OP asked about room service charges, not the daily service charge. The quote you provided above has nothing to do with the question that was asked.
In fact there is a $7.95 room service charge, except for continental breakfast served prior to 10 am. Here's the information that answers the OP's room service question:
https://www.ncl.com/faq#norwegian-cruise-line-now-charging-room-service
Is Norwegian Cruise Line now charging for room service?
Norwegian Cruise Line has introduced an enhanced room service menu. The new menu offers an expanded selection for breakfast, in addition to a wider variety of options available 24 hours. Individual items on the menu remain available on a complimentary basis and a convenience charge of up to $7.95 USD will be added to each order placed (Morning coffee, continental breakfast and orders placed by guests sailing in The Haven will not attract a charge)*. Room service is one of up to 29 dining options offered across the fleet, and guests continue to be able to enjoy a wide array of complimentary choices onboard 24 hours a day.
*Prices subject to change.
Sorry I put the wrong quote, you have the propper quote

I've tried searching and I know the info is out there, but just not finding what I need.
Is the charge for room service still $7.95? What does the price include. For example, if I ordered a sandwich, fries, salad and desert would the room service fee cover all items or would there be additional fees.
Also interested in opinions about the room service........the good, the bad and the ugly! Is it worth it?
And if anyone has a copy of current room service menus I would appreciate having a chance to get a preview.
We are sailing in late October on the Dawn out of Boston.
Thanks!

If you pay the $7.95 delivery charge, do you still tip the server?
That's up to you

1- have read there is a charge for room service so I called NCL to confirm this
info. The reservation person said there is a $7.95 charge after 10am. So,
does that mean every day breakfast room service is free of charge? Also,
if we come back from a day out and want a snack, it looks like room service charges for everything outside of breakfast. Please clarify my thinking...thank you.
From NCL WEBSITE:
What's the service charge?
Why is there a service charge?
The reason there's a fixed service charge is an important one: Our Crew (as are the crew from other lines) is encouraged to work together as a team. Staff members including complimentary restaurant staff, stateroom stewards and behind-the-scenes support staff are compensated by a combination of salary and incentive programs that your service charge supports. How much is the charge? Onboard Service Charges are additional.
How much are the service charges:
• $13.50 USD per person per day for guests staying in Studio, Inside, Oceanview, Balcony and Mini-Suite categories
• $15.50 USD per person per day for guests staying in Suite and The Haven categories
• Guests sailing to Hawaii will be charged an additional 4.275% Pre Paid Service Charge GET Tax
(This will be automatically added to your onboard account)
Are service charges across the board for all guests?
All guests 3 years or older.
How do I prepay my service charges?
Contact your travel professional and request that it be added to your cruise reservation. If you have not made final payment this will be included in your final payment amount or if final payment has already been made we will require full payment at the time it is added.
At what point in the booking process can the prepaid charges be added?
They can be added at anytime up to 24 hours prior to sailing.
Why would I prepay my service charges?
The convenience of pre-paying the service charges allows you to plan your budget prior to your cruise giving you additional freedom while on board.
If I cancel my cruise are the service charges refundable?
Yes! The service charges are 100% refundable. If there is a service issue can the service charges be adjusted on board? Guest satisfaction is the highest priority at Norwegian Cruise Line. We have structured a guest satisfaction program designed to handle any concerns about service or on-board product quickly and efficiently. However, in the event a service issue should arise during your cruise please let our on-board guest services desk staff know right away, so that we can address these in a timely manner. It is our goal to reach a satisfactory solution to any issue when it happens and make sure our guests can focus on enjoying their cruise. Should your concerns not be met with satisfaction you can adjust the charges.
2- Also, I asked if there is a wait for a table in the main dining room at any time.
I was informed 5 to 10 minutes at most. Is this accurate? That's fine with me, but if it is longer, what times are good times to arrive? She also informed me that there is a formal night on the second night and you can dress up, but it is not necessary. Do most people wear formal attire on formal night? I am wondering what to pack.
Waiting time varies on each ship ( the larger the ship longer wait ) 5 to 10 minutes is pretty accurate Best time to go is around 5.00pm to 6.00 pm
Dress up night is totally up to you some pax do some don't it's not compulsary
3- I also wanted to clarify if you can order the water package once you board. The NCL rep said you could order it once onboard. The prices are prohibitive! If any one has experience with this, please confirm as I have read otherwise recently on CC
Please refer to https://www.ncl.com/onboard-packages/bottled-water-packages
In my opinion the water on the ship is fine to drink , I always bring some empty water bottle and go to the buffet an fill up and bring to the room , on our last cruise we ask the steward to empty the mini bar and he always put a pitcher of water in the fridge for us ( PS: don't forget to tip him extra at the end of the cruise)
