Your tip about the shareholder benefit is particularly valid right now since the price of the stock is way down due to the travel restrictions from the COVID-19 problem. The high not too long ago was almost $60 a share. Today's closing was $14.03. Another consideration is that SAME 100 shares can be used to claim the benefit EVERY time you cruise on NCL.

As a seasoned traveler, this is mostly solid advice except for reserving of seats. The reason why seats become so scarce is because of the advice you are offering and a selfish practice. Use them and remove your items when done. If you are not ready to participate, leave them for others and this goes for the theater or any other lounge area that is expecting an upcoming event. Common courtesy isn't so common any more.

Norwegian was our 1st cruise. I must admit, it was the best of all our cruises. Their perks are awesome.

I don’t necessarily agree with the advice to always travel on Norwegian’s larger ships. If, like me, you want your vacations to be restful, not chasing around doing things on and off the ship, a smaller, quieter Norwegian ship may be a better choice. I have gone on Norwegian’s Pride of America around the Hawaiian islands 3 times now and this should show you all how much I enjoy traveling on this small ship. The scenery visible off the ship is also spectacular

I leave in less than a week for my 14 day transatlantic cruise with a balcony cabin..
This will be my fifth cruise on Norwegian and I love them.
I did the Epic a couple of years ago and although its a nice ship I look forward to going back to the smaller ship for my upcoming cruise..

I had always heard about the lone red fish that faces backwards but had never spotted one. You got it on video!

Good advice especially about taking the breakaway plus class ships. We have cruised on all four of them and can tell you that the food quality is far superior and the experience is much more enjoyable than any other in their fleet.

Finally a video where the host does not yak me to sleep saying the same thing 10 different ways! You are clear and to the point, you gave unique tips (love the stock idea) and instead of showing yourself for 15 mins, you showed us the ship! I'm subscribing and I 'hope' other hosts will follow your ways. Great stuff! Cruising first time on NCL in June to Hawaii. (Only ship that does this itinerary in the summer when my teens are off.) Any tips for this trip, if you've been on the Pride of America? Again, thank you!!

NCL, for solo cruisers, provides studio cabins.

Sailed on a transatlantic last year on the newly refurbished Jade. Little smaller but very nice. Bought Cruise Next certificates and have not used them yet. You are very correct about the drink package. Norwegian should offer a free AA rehab package if you use the drink package to the max! Another tip, if they offer free or reduced airfare and you do not need it they offer a substitute package like a $50 shore excursion credit per person per excursion. We are close to Miami and Port Canaveral so we are blessed to have this perk. No more time to chat, must go and buy some stock. Happy cruising to all!

Boy, all our travel plans have been cancelled for this year and April of next year. At least, we have youtube now to look at all the cruise lines and virtually visit other parts of the World. I can't imagine how boring it would be without internet and all the technological gadgets which help us not only kill time, but also help us to learn and stay together while being apart. Can't complaint. Just wish everyone to be safe and we can enjoy our social activities again once this pandemic is over and a vaccine will be found. Again, stay safe everyone and take care !!!

Thank you for this video. My husband and I are going on our first cruise ever in February 2020. This has been very informative and incredibly helpful for us!

I just booked a western Caribbean cruise on Norwegian, and the cabin was $50 per person more for free at sea. The drink gratuity was $305 for two. I did the math and free at sea offer was well worth it. $50 credit for one excursion, 150 minutes of wi-fi, two free specialty restaurant dinners, well worth it. There is a specialty restaurant gratuity of $35, but that’s for four meals. The value of the four meals will vary depending on which restaurant you choose.

We just got off a NCL cruise and wish we had these tips, especially the fish face forward one, that would have saved a lot of time.

[Diverhog]

I thought that this was just going to be a normal tips video but to my surprise, you were very informative and helpful with your tips. I did learn a few tips even tho I am a veteran cruiser with NCL. I'm hopefully going to show this to my wife when she gets home if I can find it. I'm new to You Tube so I am still finding my way around.

[jorgerivera]

Liked all the tips, specially the drinking packages tip, the restaurants free food and last but not least the carpet fishies 🐟🐟tip. 👍

[jway]

Ncl my main cruise line, been on 20 cruises with them, and your video definitely explains a lot. Nice work 👍

[jasminegonzalez]

Going on my first ever cruise in two weeks with NCL. Thank you for these tips!

Norwegian is far and away our favorite cruise line! We have 3 more cruises between this coming December and next Summer. No question: NORWEGIAN IS THE BEST!
