Searched for NCL and scrolled down past the old app. ________________________________ Operational Announcement: As part of our commitment to being the easiest cruise line to work with, we're excited to announce that NCL is introducing a brand-new mobile app called Norwegian Cruise Line, which will be available for download from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store today, August 30, 2024. Guests who are scheduled to sail on Norwegian Sky on August 30, 2024, Norwegian Encore on September 1, 2024, Norwegian Viva on September 10, 2024 and Norwegian Breakaway on September 15, 2024 can be the first to use the new "Norwegian Cruise Line" app. Please note that the new NCL mobile app will roll out on a ship-by-ship basis and is only available for select ships as we complete the transition across our fleet. The legacy mobile app, Cruise Norwegian, will continue to be available until the transition is complete across our fleet.

Asawi Posted August 30 #4 Share Posted August 30 Wow! Thanks for letting us know! I downloaded and installed it and now I will explore! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menocchio Posted August 30 #5 Share Posted August 30 Hmm... Looks like my sailing would be the first on my ship. I think I'll keep the old app installed just in case. Looks like they don't have the spa connected to it yet. I can't book anything and my previous bookings don't appear in my plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asawi Posted August 30 #6 Share Posted August 30 I have now explored a little! I have to admit that I'm not always great with change of user interfaces and similar. It takes time for me! Having said that I have noticed some things I do like when looking at my September cruise: My payments are listed in the app! I like that since I don't get confirmation after each payment for some reason ( I keep good records myself so haven't worried about it, but still like this!) I'm not crazy about the overall look (but that's probably just me not handling change very well), but I do like that the itinerary is well presented on a day by day basis with both arrival and departure time clearly stated. I do hope this will be updated if there are any changes during the cruise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefMateJRK Posted August 30 #7 Share Posted August 30 New and improved software, of many kinds, makes me nervous. Add NCL IT into the mix and it makes me more nervous. I'll be watching the early user reports. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Seas2mountains Posted August 30 #11 Share Posted August 30 (edited) This is really nice! It pulls up the dinner reservations and you can click on the menus. Now here is hoping we can view the lunch and dinner menus for the main dining rooms on the app rather than having to go to the dining room each day. It is also allowing you to make reservations for the main dining room at 5:30pm or 8:30pm even for a ship with a posted rollout date later than our cruise date. I was able to make a reservation for Skyline Restaurant on POA at 5:30pm and it gave me the option of 5:30pm or 8:30pm. Not that reservations are needed but for those who like to have reservations in advance, this may be a helpful feature.

Are you able to switch back and forth between both? Our cruise leaves a week from Sunday on Encore and I'm a little superstitious about switching and losing data.... not sure when you are cruising but thanks for any info.

DwayneG Posted August 30 #13 Share Posted August 30 Surprise!!! The new app PROMISES that if you book tours with them they'll HOLD THE SHIP (direct quote) if you're delayed. Based on what I've read on CC I find that rather unlikely. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menocchio Posted August 30 #18 Share Posted August 30 (edited) It was letting me check in for cruise too early (I didn't finish), but that seems to be fixed now. There's obviously still some bugs and unfinished bits but I already like it better than the old version, and maybe even the web page. One critical bug: I was trying to take the security selfie for the (premature) check-in and the picture was hideous. Devs please fix.

You don't need to switch anything. Thew new app is just that, a new app. It is not an upgrade of an existing app. You can have both installed and use them both just like using any other two apps. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellis1138 Posted August 31 #23 Share Posted August 31 (edited) I can't get the new app to show up in Google Play. Just the legacy one. What's the new one called and how many MB does it take up? Update: Finally found it hidden amidst stuff in Google Play. Edited August 31 by Ellis1138 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
