New to NCL always RCI Questions

[Shellintampa]

Going on Dawn Nov 17th out of Tampa.

On RCI ships they have the Solarium Pool area that is ADULT ONLY Am I reading correctly I have to buy a spa pass at @149 for the week for Adult only solitude?

Is the spa area's pool covered as that is on RCI Solarium?

 

Room service rooms below a suite No hot food orders? Is this just for Breakfast or every room service meal?

 

So if I wish to not participate in the pay restaurants What are my exact options if I am in just an OV room? Main Dining and Buffet?

 

Does anyone know the opening breakfast hours, and dinner hours in the buffet?

 

I saw where someone was going online to book dining and entertainment shows? Dining i assume is specialty meals- but entertainment shows do you have to reserve seats before the cruise for the shows?

First, let me encourage you to check out the Roll Call forum for this cruise. Here is the link:

There is no "adults only" area on the NCL Dawn.

 

The spa area is very nice and the small pool that is there is inside (not a retractable roof).

 

Here is a link to non-suite room service menus.

Here is a link to the NCL Dinning options..the Dawn is one of the columns.

At no upcharge, there is the buffet, the Blue Lagoon (24x7) and two main dinning rooms (only one for breakfast and lunch). There is also a pool-side buffet and I think that the Bimini bar still is serving hamburgers and the like during the day.

 

This may not be current, but should be pretty typical. Your daily newsletter (the Freestyle Daily) will list the hours each day. Port days may be different than sea days.

Garden Cafe 6:30AM - 10:30 AM (5:30 AM has Continental breakfast items) then 11:30am-3:00pm lunch and 5:00pm-9:30 pm for dinner

 

Main Dinning room: 7:00 am -9:00am; Noon-1:30 5:30-9:30 for dinner (smaller MDR 6:30-10:30)

 

Blue Lagoon (always open...well, almost always..may be closed 3:30-4:30 am)

 

Poolside Grill: 7:00am to whenever

 

I hope that this helps..come join our roll call!!
