Creator's Key Takeaways

number one is one of the really good things on the new designs of the ships that they're building and going forward they have an area called the waterfront

number two is there's a show on some of the ships called the dueling pianos and it's not enough charge entertainment area but I would get there early because it's often completely crowded

Norwegian has what's called freestyle dining where you can eat in any of the restaurants not the specialty restaurants but any of the regular dining facilities between 5:30 and 10:30

number nine celebrates something on board a lot of people think that oh I can only say that I'm having an anniversary if my anniversary falls directly in between the dates of them sailing

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Get to the dueling pianos show early to secure a seat
βœ“Factor in gratuities for the free beverage package
βœ“Use the $50 shore excursion credit per port, as it doesn't carry over
βœ“Tell the crew you're celebrating something to receive a gift in your stateroom
βœ“Try the chef's table for a unique dining experience

Confusion about free at sea perks and cabin categories β€” Keep a watchful eye on perks based on your cabin category, as guaranteed staterooms may not get any
Understanding the $50 shore excursion credit β€” It's $50 per port per cabin, not per person, and it doesn't carry over to other ports
