What is

Certain specialty restaurants are available with either nominal

sessions with Hank Hanegraaff.
Items of a personal nature
are not included, such as soft drinks, spa
treatments, certain specialty exercise classes, laundry,
photographs, ship-to-shore phone, e-mail, Internet, fax and
Shore Excursions. Government taxes and fees are also not
included.
Fares do
not
include tips, airfare, hotel or bus transfers.
Tipping
A fixed service charge of $10 per person, per day will be added
to your onboard account. For children ages 3-12, a $5 per person
per day charge will be added to your onboard account; there is
no charge for children under the age of three. The NCL crew is
encouraged to work together as a service team and is compensated
by a combination of salary and incentive programs that the
service charge supports. It is our earnest wish that you enjoy
your Cruise experience and that the entire crew in all areas of
the ship will provide you with the standard of service for which
NCL is known. Therefore, if you have any concerns about the
service you receive during your cruise, please bring them to the
immediate attention of the reception desk staff on board so that
NCL can address any issues in a timely manner before the cruise
is over.
When should I schedule
my flights?
Please plan to arrive in Los Angeles, California the night before
sailing. This is due to the fact that many unforeseen
travel and weather occurrences could hinder your ability to
arrival in a timely manner, preventing you to be able to sail
with us the next day.
When making your return
flight arrangements, make sure that your flight leaves AFTER
1:00pm from the LAX Airport.
Freestyle Dining
Norwegian's Freestyle
Cruising program means you can eat when and where you want, at a
variety of restaurants featuring everything from Asian fusion to
Spanish tapas. Most dining rooms have relaxed dress codes, as
well.
Dress Code
Freestyle Cruising gives NCL
guests the freedom to dress as they please. Resort casual attire
is always appropriate morning, noon and night. However, NCL does
not allow any blue jeans, t-shirts, shorts, cut-offs, tank tops,
bare feet, etc. in any of our fine dining restaurants for
dinner, including all main restaurants, alternative restaurants,
and cover charge venues.
Guests are allowed to wear
blue jeans, shorts and t-shirts, in the evenings at the buffets,
outdoor barbeques, and 24-hour venues, such as the Blue Lagoon,
the Cadillac diner, etc.
What to Pack?
Freestyle Cruising gives you
the freedom to dress as you please. So come as you are. No need
to check for a suggested dress code in the ship's Freestyle
Daily as you would on traditional cruises. Resort casual attire
is always appropriate morning, noon and night. If you like, you
can slip into a pair of khakis and a polo shirt, a skirt and
blouse or a sundress for dinner. We do not allow jeans,
T-shirts, shorts, cut-offs, tank tops, bare feet, etc. in any of
the restaurants at dinner.
For those who do love to
dress to the nines and get that annual formal portrait
photography done, there is one optional formal evening in at
least one of the main restaurants on every cruise; at least two
formal evenings on longer cruises. This means black tie or dark
suit for gentlemen and evening gown or cocktail dress for
ladies. But remember, on formal evenings you can always choose
to dine in one of the other restaurants instead and enjoy some
of the other lounges and leave your dressier clothes at home.
In warm climates, shorts,
slacks, sundresses, jeans and tops - and of course a swimsuit
and cover-up are all appropriate daytime attire. Air
conditioning can feel chilly, so pack a sweater. Because weather
is difficult to predict, in cooler climates dressing in layers
is the best approach. For visits to places of worship, check
your Freestyle Daily for attire guidelines. Be sure to bring a
pair of comfortable walking shoes, too. Other essentials:
sunglasses, a sun hat or visor and sunscreen. Don't forget to
bring prescription medicines in original containers and an extra
pair of glasses or contact lenses. Carry valuables and
medication in a handbag you keep with you at all times.
Important Note: All
suitcases are collected the night before we return to our home
port, so be sure to bring an overnight bag.
