Creator's Key Takeaways
The biggest impact is going to be the specialty dining. The drink package is the drink package. So, the drink package isn't changing.
It is nice that we're moving back to free at sea. They admitted that Morcy did not resonate and didn't really work with what they were trying to do.
I think it's a terrible precedent and I think somebody should move away from it because it'll give them bonus points to be different.
Creator's Tips & Advice
✓If you booked NCL before November 5th and haven't hit final payment, you can cancel and rebook to get the new Free at Sea privileges if the price is similar.
✓If you are traveling solo and booked for two to get specialty dining, just inform the staff on board that it is just you; they can adjust the reservation.
✓Check your passport expiration dates well in advance, especially during government shutdowns.
