Creator's Key Takeaways

go to lunch in the main dining room and the reason for this is the buffet is long the line was insane absolutely insane

NCL is amazing at this they're so accommodating and what I mean is if you go to the mini dining room and whatever they have on the menu and even if it's not on the menu you can order anything you want

the mustard drill is amazing now we've been on two NCL Crews very recently the one in June and then this one right when you get on the ship they check where your mustard station is they direct you there you check in it takes less than 60 seconds

NCL has the absolute worst coffee at Sea I'm not exaggerating it's terrible

About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description↓

All cruise lines have their different nuances, so in this video I discuss the things that stand out on NCL. ~ Eat in the Main Dining Room on embarkation day ~ Request what you need. They are extremely accommodating. ~ Quick easy muster drill directly after boarding ~ Specialty dining can be booked on the website after check in, on the app once you board, directly with a restaurant reservation specialist, or you can walk up without a reservation. ~ Main Dining Room menus are posted daily ~ The ships often skip Great Stirrup Cay due to wind ~ The unlimited beverage package covers all drinks up to $15. If you purchase a drink more expensive you only pay the difference. ~ NCL has freestyle dining with means you can dine anytime you would like. (Standard included dining, not specialty) ~ NCL has the WORST coffee at sea, but there are options. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND TIPS BELOW! Live YOUR destined journey if you're not already and may God bless you always!
