Benji84 Posted July 31, 2013 #1 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ok this will be my second cruise with NCL, but my first time on the Breakaway (04/13/14). I already know that things like alcohol, soda, and specialty restaurants, spa, bingo, ect..... have an additional fee, I also know most entertainment on the cruises is free, but I am reading that there are some bars and clubs that charge admission. Also are all the shows free, Even the broadway ones? If any one knows, can they breakdown the prices of the extras that no one really talks about? Thanks so much in advance!

computerworks Posted July 31, 2013 #2 Share Posted July 31, 2013 (edited) The only pay entertainment venue on the Breakaway is the Cirque show, since it is a dinner-theater and considered a specialty restaurant. All other shows are free...but the main theater shows do require (or recommend) reservations... at no charge.

Benji84 Posted July 31, 2013 Author #3 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Do you know the price of the dinner and show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VickiD59 Posted July 31, 2013 #5 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Liquor, soda, specialty restaurants, dinner show, bingo, casino, gratuities, photos, port excursions - of course none of these are mandatory in anyway with the exception of gratuities. You can have a perfectly wonderful cruise and never indulge in any of these "extras" if you don't want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anniesails Posted July 31, 2013 #6 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Also, they will automatically add a daily service charge to your statement. I believe it is $12 pp/day, that is the pool of tips which the staff splits:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terpsince74 Posted July 31, 2013 #7 Share Posted July 31, 2013 The only bar that you have to pay for is the Ice Bar which I believe is $20. The other area you should consider is buying a Vibe pass. On my cruise July 7th this area was not too crowded when it came to finding a lounger. The $79 was the best investment I made all week plus no kids running around. It was very crowded on the rest of the ship. This may not be as big of an issue during your cruise however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You stated most of them except for the Ice Bar was extra to get into. and if you want to see the Cirque de solei show in the Speigel tent it is an extra charge but minimum and well worth it. The four of us had a good meal with plenty of large shrimp and steak. Show was excellent. Everything in Carlos Bakery you have to pay for and let's not forget bottled water as an extra. This is all no different than any other ship or cruise line.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanBlue123 Posted August 1, 2013 #10 Share Posted August 1, 2013 They have removed the free movie channels from the TV's and now charge $10 per pay-per-view movie. Ordering Pizza any time from room services is an extra $5. Ordering any room service from Midnight to 5am is an extra $4. All the gym work-out classes cost extra money. Carlos Bakery, Specialty Coffees, and Gelato are all extra dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this not the case? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loupana Posted November 5, 2013 #12 Share Posted November 5, 2013 My wife attended Zumba when we were on board in June and it is free...She is looking forward to attending them again on our Dec. 8th sailing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H20 is just as good.....and no charge. IMO, of course! Harriet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcpelletier Posted November 5, 2013 #16 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I believe someone told me that the $20 cover charge for the Ice Bar includes 2 drinks. Am I correct? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
