Creator's Key Takeaways
Norwegian Cruise Line has implemented a new $10 per person fee for guests who miss specialty dining reservations without cancelling or modifying them at least 2 hours in advance.
I think it's a great thing. I think if you've ever had the experience of trying to book specialty dining while you're on the ship, it's extremely difficult.
We really love Norwegian. We tend to focus on that.
Specialty dining is just a considerable elevated step. The plating is better. The food is slightly better. It is better. The service is hands down better.
