New NCL Cruiser Question

[mlmalone3]

In the past we have cruised with Carnival, Princess, and RC, and have always had late sitting for dinner, so we've had the same waitstaff each night for dinner in the MDR.

With NCL and Freestyle cruising, we won't have a set time for dinner, correct?

So we'll have different waiters, servers, etc...each night?

I'm thinking ahead, since we always give extra tips to our specific servers. I want to make sure we have enough cash on hand for extra gratuities.

Thanks for confirmation or correction.

Totally up to you. We had a party of 13 so I emailed in advance for reservations. We had the same time each night, same tables, same servers. We were able to tip the servers a little extra, who were wonderful.

In general the answer will be yes especially if there is a small party; I assume you will be using the same MDR most nights. If it is a longer cruise you may well find also that the wait staff will change as they are rotated.

 

We (2 of us) have made an arrangement with the Maître d' to get a table with the same waiter for a short cruise. Not always the same table but basically at the same time each night.
