Thank you both! -
NCL It’s Been a While-General Questions
Momof3gurlz replied to Momof3gurlz's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It’s just something I read on a cruise blog, knowing you can’t trust much of what you read on those. Hence, my asking here. “While wifi is available on all NCL ships, some offer a limited range of connectivity. For example, the following ships offer In-Stateroom wifi access: Norwegian Bliss, Breakaway, Dawn, Epic, Gem, Getaway, Jade, Jewel, Pearl, Sky, Spirit, Star, Sun, Pride of America, and Prima.“ Thank you for clarifying that the above is incorrect. **I meant to quote @debenson0723 -
We have a cruise coming up at the end of the month on the Encore, our 5th with NCL (we sail mostly with RC). It’s been 5 years since we were on an NCL ship so I’m a little rusty. We’re also traveling with friends who are first time cruisers so I want to be sure to share accurate information with them. As of now, these are my questions (mostly about internet) although I may come back with more. Thanks in advance for any help! -We have Free At Sea which I believe includes 150 minutes. If one wants to upgrade to unlimited internet, is anything credited towards that? Or should we wait until the 150 minutes are used up, then add for only the remaining days? -I think I read there’s an activation fee for both the internet and to use the chat feature in the app. Does anyone know how much these fees are? -I also read (when I say ‘read’, I mean Google so I’m not sure how old the information is) that only a few ships have “in-room” WiFi (Encore being one that does not have it). Is this correct? -I know the process on RC for using internet, etc. just want to confirm it’s the same on NCL. We put our phones (iPhones) in Airplane mode, connect or sign-in to ship internet and we can then access apps, websites, email, iMessage family with iPhones and use WiFi calling. -Are dining rooms still open for lunch on embarkation day? -Royal has My Time Dining but they still recommend you reserve a time in advance. Is it the same on NCL? We’ve made specialty dining reservations already, I just can’t recall for main dining.

We’ve had a week of absolutely dismal weather. Rainy, drizzly and foggy. At least the temperatures haven’t been too bad so I guess I shouldn’t complain (even though I am). It did allow me to get all the inside Christmas decorations taken down and put away. I also started taking out some clothes for our cruise at the end of this month. At this point it’s just what I “might” bring. I can’t really narrow it down until I have a better idea of the weather, especially for the two days prior in Miami. Plus we’re flying this trip so I have to be a little more disciplined with packing. So far, so good with dry January. Tonight I’m trying a mocktail. Pomegranate juice, fresh lime juice and Pelegríno water. I’m going to put it in a martini glass and pretend it’s a Cosmo.
