Rare KeithJenner Posted April 25, 2022 #1 Share Posted April 25, 2022 I've just scanned and uploaded the freestyle dailies from last weeks 7 day Greek Island cruise. This is not the itinerary which heads out to Israel, but I think that this one is boing done a few times during the Summer. Hope it helps.

kochleffel Posted April 25, 2022 #2 Share Posted April 25, 2022 (edited) Thank you. It appears that on day 1 (embarkation) there was no MDR open for lunch. Was that correct? Edited April 25, 2022 by kochleffel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect so as we were on the week before and it was also not open for lunch on our embarkation day, its our normal location for lunch on day 1.

Rare YVRteacher Posted April 26, 2022 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2022 This looks like a really fun trip. Lots of onboard offerings and entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was that correct? I can’t say for sure, as we just tend to head to o’Sheehans on embarkation day. I didn’t even look to see what else was available. But given that they didn’t the week before it doesn’t surprise me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casofilia Posted April 26, 2022 #7 Share Posted April 26, 2022 @KeithJenner Thank you for today's rib-tickling laugh. I was looking at your Day 7 Freestyle Daily. I loved the information about the "Donkey walk"; but the English was atrocious. Then I looked further and found this:- I see that NCL still refuses to use a proof reader for their Freestyle Daily. JEPARODY in the heading and Jeopardy in the description. Reminded me of the person we came across, "ANOYNMOUS", on one cruise. They did correct it later in the cruise to "ANONYMOUS". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willetstravel Posted April 26, 2022 #8 Share Posted April 26, 2022 Thank you for these Keith! Enjoyed traveling along with you and followed you on IG. I was checking out the Sunday Daily and it lists Bar Services (hours) for the first day. Was it mentioned anywhere that they can't serve until well after disembarkation or people just found out when they got on board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pugrads Posted June 27, 2022 #10 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Thank you for these! We just booked this for May 2023. I know it may change a bit but we’ve never cruised NCL so it’s nice to get an idea of how they do their dailies. One question - the specialty restaurants have some that are a’la carte & othered that are just the cover/up charge. We’ve sailed Celebrity & those are just the upcharge, so how does a’la carte charge work with the specialty dining promo? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically your meal is covered in the a la carte restaurants although you are restricted to one entree. There are a small number of menu items with an upcharge mentioned on the menu. We very rarely have any charge when using the dining package, although as an example I did have crab cakes in Cagneys on this trip which is an upcharge item ($5 extra I think). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No announcements but you’d see them subtly remove the stand-up signage from the bars once it was “time” 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My TA had learned from NCL that this is indeed a “thing” so we were ready for it. I posted an actual picture of the signage at the bars on another post.

CruisinMaterial Posted June 28, 2022 #15 Share Posted June 28, 2022 These are great. The itinerary for later in the year is a bit different but some of the ports are the same. I wish we were staying in Mykonos as late as you did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, so we could get anything that was included on our package but no option to “pay extra” for say, the chocolate martini which is over 15$. We also couldn’t buy anything at Java Cafe in port as the regular beverage package doesn’t cover those coffees. Otherwise, we could order drinks and show our card on beverage package and they weren’t even running it through computer, providing a receipt.

I thought that you were saying they were back to the no bar service thing. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
