Slight correction. The shore excursion credit is $50.00 per cabin, per port. Not per person. The racing Kart has also increased in price to $15 for 8 minutes 😊

We first began cruising with Norwegian, and with one exception (and one upcoming exception), we've cruised nine times on NCL. My favorite part is the freestyle dining, which they were the first to implement, and still (I think, and I've heard) the best at doing it. So I think that's a somewhat unique aspect of NCL that is done better and that someone would want to know before cruising NCL!

Keep in mind the $50.00 per port shore excursion credit being offerd is per cabin and not per person :)

This is super helpful!! Thank you, we are finally going on our first cruise

[teambradley]

The number of nights of specialty dining in the package depends on the length of cruise as well.

Hi Guys love the reviews keep them coming we have just done a 11 nights on the Pearl which we really enjoyed
One thing we didn’t realise there’s no washing facility laundry unless you get them to do it which very expensive our cabin steward told us to wait a couple of days until they had special deal 20 US dollars for a bag the one on the hanger in the cupboard so we filled that up got us out of trouble for rest of the cruise

[wendykoek]

Love you guys you both do awesome videos on cruises and always great tips too keep up the great work ❤️

[ychaps]

[BLilley]

Cruising solo in June and got all the promos free. Great deal, can’t wait

[TheSilvercue]

Never been on a cruise and will be travelling solo so started to look at Norwegian as they come all new to me at the moment!"

[yaldon]

NCL is my favourite line ... o can’t wait for mi next trip from Athens to Rome in the fall 2021 an in summer 2022 a great trip to island and Greenland

If you take the drink package you will be charged a gratuity on the value of the package - hundreds of dollars. If you take the optional dinners you will also be charged the gratuity and if you there are three in you group the third pays full price. I have always turned down the optional dinners since the included dinners are excellent

“Yeah and if you’re not a drinker I really recommend that YOU START.”

There, fixed it for ya!

Gr8 Video guys, I know one thing about NCL, they have Solo cabins and offers very reasonable price cruises as compared to others, that said their itinaries are not always up to snuff as compared to Princess, especially if your cruising through the Panama Canal coast to coast, in my humble opinion its worth paying the little bit extra for some longer shore time and stops in Panama as well, just my take. 👌🏼

[rickthibodeau]

Great information! Celebrity has some similar perks, however Celebrity is now charging $14/day if you take the drinks package perk. Not sure if other cruise lines will follow.

[blondieaa]

From one blonde to another, I love, love, LOVE the new blonde on you, Ben!! Love your channel too, guys!! Thanks!

[olso]

I am brand new to cruising! I love these videos! I am wondering how to find out what the themed night are? I am going on the Norwegian Getaway in November.

[marshacordry]

Hey Guys... I think you said the shore excursion package was $ 50.00 per person per port... but it is $ 50.00 per cabin per port. Just wanted to bring that to your attention. By the way I love your videos.

please do a Norwegian EPIC Cruise tour & review

[stephendunderdale]

I have just returned from a Med cruise on the Epic. Im a little confused about the comments regarding gratuities on the free drinks package. I was not charged gratuities on the drinks package. I was only charged the daily gratuities.(I think it was $15 a day). Also I booked my own tours online. Saved at least 50% on NCL prices for similar tours.
