Is NCL’s Free at Sea a GOOD VALUE??

Norwegian Cruise Line was the first to come up with a more ‘all inclusive’ cruise experience with their Free at Sea. But if you have never had items included in your cruise it might take some explaining…

Free at Sea includes:
*Unlimited Beverage Package for all adults in the cabin (alcoholic beverages and soda)
*Specialty Dining Package for guests 1 & 2 (number of meals depends on length of sailing and cabin category chosen)
*$50 per port shore excursion credit
*150 minutes wifi for guests 1 & 2
*3 & 4th guests sail free or $99 (only pay port taxes, fees and gratuities) - applies to select sailings
*BOGO Air - Second guest flies free

NOTE: for the drinks and specialty dining, you are only charged for the gratuities for the crew members associated with these packages

So, does this sound like a good value to you???

Well, you convinced me! I was seriously considering an NCL studio. (I'm a solo girl). The studios really appealed to me. On my next cruise on Carnival, I turn Gold. I promised myself that after turning Gold on Carnival, I would try another cruise line. You have convinced me! NCL, studio and free at sea, here I come!

Love free at sea! We don't drink a lot, but love that we don't have to worry about another expense.

I watched 5 videos, before yours, to find out about Free at Sea and none of them made it as clear as you did….THANK YOU! Great content

[marvao]

Thanks for thoroughly explaining the Free at Sea program!

Have cruised with Norwegian since 2020. The free at sea constantly brings us back, unparalleled value. We’ve found that buying one excursion on the ship and the other at port can also result in similar savings. Love your videos

We just did the NCL Mediterranean Cruise and got the unlimited drink package...what a great deal because we used it, probably drank too much but it was so fun haha! Thanks for your video. And we also enjoyed the two specialty dinners...Teppanyaki and Cagney's...fantastic! We would cruise with Norwegian again in a heartbeat...clean cozy cabins, great service, food, entertainment, trip of a lifetime for us.

Thank you so much for this video. I booked the cruise last week and it’s my first time traveling with NCL and it’s my second cruise ever. We got the free at sea deal and I’m going with my friends in November, but since we booked it by ourselves, I didn’t know much about what was included in extra information so thank you for this video

[connieovercash]

You are very good at explaining everything in great detail. I have my first cruise on NCL booked or actually on hold. I’m still pondering on the open bar. Thank you again.

We just booked our first cruise ever to celebrate our 20th anniversary. We will be on Encore in January! So excited! Thank you for this video, it was so helpful!

I love Irish Coffee on the balcony in Glacier Bay!

[cathynavin]

Love NCL, they have a great relaxed atmosphere for families. We have always done the liquor package and dining. My first NCL cruise dining was the whole cruise, and my last one, the dining, was only for 3 or the 7 day cruise. I think next time I would look into wifi, especially travelling with a teenager.

[rkenzie]

I was also so excited when I realized the excursion credit was valid for each port! Great for traveling solo because I didn’t have to worry about the costs for addition guests.

We agree with you on Le Bistro. Best meal you can get on any ship. Also when you do the flight promo, you must book the flight deviations to arrive a day or two early or stay an extra day or two more than 75 days out. Once they issue the flights they won't make changes, I just don't think you mentioned the 75 day restriction and it might be helpful to someone.

Such great information. After sailing on the Breakaway from the vloggers cruise, both myself and Mark love NCL and the free at sea. I love my Sambuca on the rocks! We love Tapaneka and the Brazilian restaurant.

We’re leaving for an Alaskan cruise Saturday and tried the free airfare for the first time. We got terrible flights on Southwest but we instantly canceled them for southwest credit and booked direct flights on Alaska Air for less money so it worked out great for us.
Had we gotten a different airline we may not have been able to cancel for free so it’s definitely a risk.
Great video!

I love the Free at Sea, and now the Free at Sea Plus (since I have spent more than the $15 on drinks for wine, icewine and champagne, and I also always get unlimited internet)

As for Air, my parents and my sister and her husband have used it. They had perfect flights from Montreal to Los Angeles with Air Canada, one stop in Denver on the way there, direct on the way back. I personally don't bother cause I travel solo and like to use my lounge membership rather than rushing, so I book longer connections to be safe and enjoy a drink or two at the airport.

Thank you this was very informative. I love Free at Sea. Had it on my first cruise with the kids. I had the 3rd and 4th guest free and the unlimited soda package for the kids. The free at sea unlimited soda package was a steal with two teenagers and a tween! They drank their hearts away. lol. Their friends they made on the ship were jealous as my kids were constantly refilling their glasses. This was back in 2016. Excited I was able to get the free at sea package again for my next cruise. Your video was super helpful. Thank you!

[QBMoroccanT]

Super helpful video, thank you. My husband and I are going on our first cruise ever, good information to know ahead of time.

[danacasey]

I only cruise NCL! In two weeks, we are cruising on the Bliss to Alaska! My 36 year old son is in my cabin (a much-needed break from raising his 3 kids on his own!), and my daughter and son in law are 2 doors down in their own cabin. We got the free airfare for 2nd guest for both cabins. We all got on the same flight into Seattle, and chose seats together. However, our return flights are on different airlines at different times. Not a big deal. At least we will all get on the ship at the same time! So excited and love NCL!

[LadyValkorye]

Great job on all the info. I’m planning my cruise for NCL - POA in Hawaii for 2024. You helped me so much. I’m getting all the free at sea and the 2nd person airfare free. Can’t wait to board!! I heard a few of the restaurants were closed in 2022, but I guess they are all open again now in 2023.
