These specialty dining price increases, both on the menu prices and the package prices are absolutely ridiculous. I'm a loyal NCL customer (latitudes platinum) and I have a major problem with this change. It makes the specialty dining price completely unreasonable. Pay $70 for Teppanyaki? I did a quick search and found an overpriced Hibachi restaurant in Times Square and if I ordered the most expensive app, entree (twin lobster tails), side, and dessert, I came up with a $77 bill. Isn't specialty dining supposed to take into account the fact you aren't eating in the MDR for that meal (and that cost would be "deducted")? So basically, they are saying that Teppanyaki has a value of about $95 per person. No way!!! This is a deal breaker for me. It will very likely mean a drastic change in the way people eat on NCL ships, and will overload the MDRs. So it will be a very bad thing for NCL. This has to change or my current NCL reservation (Prima next June) will likely be my last NCL cruise.

Well said. Perfect, in fact. If it is offered, if I were in a Haven room, of course I would use it and wouldn't (shouldn't) feel bad about doing so. However, if offering early seating to Haven guests means that the rest of the ship gets the shaft, then no, of course it should NOT be a perk for Haven guests.

My description of YC benefits says "Premium Internet package (Browse -2 devices)." So I believe they have clarified what "Premium" means, and it is just "browse" not "browse and stream". I'll manage...

Does anyone have any knowledge of the "All Inclusive Digital" Photo Package. I see that it is listed for sale online @ $119 "per package". I would think that I only need to pay this once for all guests in my cabin (just my wife and I). However, when clicking on the button to purchase I have to select the guest, and I can select BOTH my wife and I and pay it twice. Do I need to, or would my wife and I both be automatically included if I purchase it for just one of us? I've always thought, sailing on other ships, that I'd love to see a relatively inexpensive digital package like this. If it is only $119 total for the room, I think I'd get it, but if it is $119 for each of us, it's still too pricey. Any feedback from people that have sailed on MSC and gotten this package would be appreciated!

Does anyone know if "The Pour House" on deck 8 of the Escape is the same as "Syd Norman's Pour House" on the Breakaway? I loved this on my last cruise and would love to hear that it is on the Escape now! Kind of doubt it is the same thing though. Of course, this assumes that the Escape actually sails on April 2!!!
