Non-Public Area Tours

[DrJJ]

Does NCL ever allow passengers to tour ships' non-public areas (bridge, engineering, kitchen, etc.)?

Unfortunately due to security post-9/11, NCL no longer offers tours of these areas. On some ships, though, the captain gives a talk the first night about all these areas with a slide show that is really interesting. Check it out if this kind of stuff interests you! :)

On our 10/06 Norwegian Majesty cruise we were invited to attend a VIP tour of the bridge. Very interesting. They also had a tour for the first 25 who signed on one of the days we were in port.

Dream did this also. There were only about 6 of us since it wasn't widely advertised. We just happened to be walking by the gathering point and they asked us if we wanted to go.

Do you remember if this was posted in the dailies? If not, where did you hear about the offer for the first 25 people signed up?

For the most part tours of the non public area do not exist anymore.

 

There are exceptions for a select few.

 

Galley and Bridge tours used to be a Latitudes perk pre 9/11

 

On the Dawn the CD Jimmy shot a series of tapes that play during the week on TV. They are great. Detailed tours of the bridge, galley, engine rooms, crew areas.

It was posted in the Free Style Daily.

When we were on the Majesty in June, the bridge tours were offered two separate days, w/ two tours on each day (I THINK it was Wednesday and Thursday). All was posted in the Freestyle Daily.
