alwalaska Posted November 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted November 23, 2015 It has been a year since my last NCL cruise. Plus, life has been crazy and I haven't been actively planning a cruise, so I haven't been on CC. Will you all please be so kind as to put together a quick list of changes, notes, etc that can help me prepare for my newly booked Western Caribbean Feb 20, 2016 cruise on the Spirit. For example: Changes in fees Changes in entertainment Dining changes Platinum reward changes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orleanscruiser Posted November 23, 2015 #3 Share Posted November 23, 2015 (edited) there is more Guests sailing aboard Norwegian Sky in 2016 and beyond will enjoy free dining, entertainment and now unlimited beer, wine and premium spirits throughout their cruise The sports charity The Kings Foundation will provide kids programming across Norwegian Cruise Line's fleet. The U.K.-based charity, which focuses primarily on sports, also runs kids programming for the children of U.S. military worldwide. It will replace Norwegian's long-standing partnership with Nickelodeon Blue Man Group has been replaced by musical "Priscilla Queen of the Desert," "Burn the Floor," and the Beatles-inspired Cavern Club onboard Norwegian Epic.

alwalaska Posted November 24, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thanks all. I must say that none of these sound like positive changes to us. We rarely used room service, but the fee is still disappointing. I guarantee with unlimited booze on fairly inexpensive short cruises, I will NEVER be sailing the Sky again, especially when colleges and universities are not in session.
