Cruise Ship Details

I asked our cruise consultant this exact question. Neither the app nor gift cards can be used. However, she said onboard credit can be used.

None! NCL has a 'Freestyle' philosophy. Dress up if you feel like it, don't if you don't. Any night you'll see people in suits and gowns as well as people in casual wear. You won't feel out of place whichever you choose. Additionally, there are photographers in the lobby taking portraits every evening, and many people dress up just for that.

The Behind the Scenes tour is free if you are a Platinum Latitude or higher member. If you are not there is a free. Check Entertainment under Explore and Plan for your sailing for pricing.

Standard issue has shampoo and body wash in the shower, liquid hand soap at the sink. In the haven and suites there are more options like conditioner and lotion, of higher-end products.

There is no self-service laundry. Items sent to the ship's laundry are charged similarly to any dry cleaner. There is usually a special offered mid-cruise. Check with your cabin attendant.

All staterooms have refrigerators.

Near the Atrium lounge. You can count on pretty much "main menu" kind of drinks like lattes, macchiatos etc. Please don't order some ridiculously complicated tik tok drink - they most likely won't know how to make it and people behind you in line will riot if you try to walk them through it. Just don't.

If you're asking if you can bring drinks onboard, the answer is no. However, you can bring drinks from the bar and snacks from the buffet, etc. into your room. You cannot, however, have alcoholic drinks delivered to your stateroom (at least last time I checked). Unfortunately, they will not deliver or allow you to bring canned sodas to your room for the kiddos to open later, though sometimes you get a crew member who'll allow you this anyway, which is nice. In short, you can't bring any kind of beverages onboard, but you can get a drink at the bar and bring it back to your room. Same goes for snacks. If you're staying in The Haven you can have your butler deliver just about anything to your room.

Yes there are four on the main pool deck, and two on deck 18 Spice H2O.

No, there are no forward-facing lounges on Breakaway. There is the sun deck on deck 17. The only indoor option is the Spa Thermal Suite (at additional cost) on deck 15. There are lounges facing forward there. Check out the deck plans at the link above.

There are quite a few on decks 11-13. The deck plans show them as double-headed arrows between the two cabins. Access between them is through internal door. From what I understand, the panels between the balconies outside are no longer opened, as it's seen as a safety hazard.

You can bring extension cords and power strips as needed.

The coffee makers in the standard rooms use little "packets" of coffee, not loose grounds with a filter so bringing your own coffee wouldn't really work. If you're staying in The Haven they use Nespresso machines and you have to use Nespresso pods. If you find the in-room coffee not to your liking you can have coffee delivered at a predetermined time, try the restaurant coffee, or (my favorite option) find one of the automatic machines that fresh grinds the beans and makes a cup fresh for you. It's the best coffee on the ship.

we got the same thing but were not able to place any bids...we were locked out.

Robes are only available if you're staying in The Haven section of the ship, a spa room, or a Club Balcony. Also, you can't take them home with you unless you're willing to buy them.

Yes, hair dryers are provided in all staterooms. They're usually found just outside the bathroom.

The fitness center is on Deck 15, and there's a jogging track on Deck 16 - check out the deck plans on the tab above. They offer a wide range of classes throughout the cruise - sign up in the fitness center.

You'll have a TV, clock, telephone.

It depends on the length of the cruise, some are daily and some are for entire cruise. You can book it in advance on your NCL trip page or call the NCL agents or wait until onboard, but the passes go fast.

Corkage Fee is not applicable to guest with beverage package. https://www.ncl.com/cruise-faq/can-i-bring-alcohol-board Wine & Champagne Policy Guests may bring bottles of wine and champagne on board. When bottles are brought on board and served or consumed in any restaurant, public room area or in their stateroom, a corkage fee will be charged according to bottle sizes noted below. 750 ml Bottle: $15.00 USD 1,500 ml Magnum: $30.00 USD Wine or champagne sent directly to the ship by travel agents, friends, family, etc. or from another retail source, are subject to the same fees. Box wines are not allowed on board. Corkage Fee is not applicable to guest with beverage package.

There's no exact time. First, all debarking passengers have to be off. It's usually around noon before boarding can begin. Bear in mind that it's not exactly a first-come-first served process. Haven passengers will board first, with any VIP-types. Latitudes come next, then general boarding, which will be in arrival order. You'll be assigned a boarding group number at check in.

Nope. And thank God for that. People can't be trusted to discern what is an acceptable music level that won't bother their neighbors, and just because you like a certain genre of music doesn't mean your neighbors like it too. Headphones or ear buds make for good neighbors.

Contact the accommodations office - see https://www.ncl.com/about/accessible-cruising. If necessary, your cabin attendant can take care of you/

No. The vendors on Harvest Caye are citizens of Belize with their own businesses so you have to pay for your drinks and snacks.

No, but it has two hot tubs.

Just ask your cabin steward to separate them. It's not a problem.

Deck plan will tell you if your cabin "holds 4" which means there are four sleeping spots. We always cruise two to a balcony cabin and I can't imagine having 4 in it, but that's just me. If you are cruising with kids it should be fine. Upgrades are often offered several weeks before sailing. You bid on a particular cabin class. The Haven has a two bedroom cabin that would be great for four but you'd have to be lucky to score the upgrade. I have never been offered a "free" upgrade. As with any cruise, keep an eye on the prices, they may drop closer to departure and you can rebook (as long as you haven't already made your final payment) and possibly move up a cabin class.

The address is 711 12th Ave, New York, NY 10019. The car entrance is at 55th St, drop off on the second level, parking on the third.. You can check out their website at https://nycruise.com/manhattan-terminal.
