Free Perks on Bliss

[steveknj]

We are cruising on the Bliss in March and for the first time, we've been given all the free perks (Beverages / Specialty Dining / Internet etc.)  We've done the Beverage package on a past cruise, but how do the others work?  I think the excursions are $50 off, but not sure how the dining or internet works.  I'm assuming the internet just "happens", i.e. it will be availble when we try and use it on the cruise, but what do we do when we book dining?  If we make reservations using the app will we get charged and then reimbursed?  What else do I need to know about these perks?

Click on the promo you are getting on NCL.com.   On the next page scroll way down to "Terms and Conditions".   That will give you vital info on all the perks.

I don't believe any of the specialty restaurants have a surcharge any longer (except on specific items noted on the menu) so just book the places you want and any bill above and beyond what is allotted for on the SDP will be presented at the end of the meal.  If you can book online before the trip, do it.  If you don't see the time desired for your party size, book on the ship ASAP.  The touchscreens by the elevators (one port, one starboard on each deck by the stairs at each elevator lobby) can be used for this and many other things.

 

WiFi just happens, nothing to do there.

 

Shore excursion credit - note that it is $50 PER CABIN.  There's a thread on this forum with all the tips needed on booking those.  Here -

We pass on the free drinks, we are light social drinkers so even the 20% grats is more than we consume.  If you have a CAS card it's free drinks in the casino.

 

Be aware that internet is by the minute and you have to turn it off when done or the timer keeps going.  I used my iPad for 15 min and just shut it off, when I went back all the minutes were used up!

 

Your ship card is marked with the perks you have, the server will take your card and explain SDP then bring back a bill for $0.0 usually.  You only get one entree but can order multiple apps and desserts.
