Cruise
Style: Mainstream
A cruising
innovator, Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is noted for top quality,
high-energy entertainment, good fitness facilities and programs, and
a variety of activities. Good food and friendly service combined
with value fares make NCL a winner for active cruisers and families.
Newer vessels have a little something for everyone with choices of
many activities and a variety of dining options.
Special
Features
NCL launched a
host of flexible dining choices with the introduction of Freestyle
Cruising. Traditionalists may still select between two dining room
seatings, but Freestyle allows guests to choose open seating in the
main dining rooms or dine in any of a number of a la carte and
specialty restaurants at any time and with whom they please.
Reservations are required for the specialty restaurants and some
carry a cover charge. Resort casual attire is always appropriate;
however, the option of one formal evening is available on all
cruises of seven nights and longer. The
late-night Chocoholic Buffet continues to be a favorite event.
Mandara Spa offers
exotic spa treatments and a wide range of salon services fleetwide on NCL.

Your
Shipmates
NCL’s
mostly-American cruise passengers are active couples ranging from
their mid-30’s to mid-50’s. Many
families enjoy cruising on NCL ships during holidays and summer
months, particularly on Caribbean and Bermuda itineraries, although
Alaska has become a popular family destination. Longer
cruises and more exotic itineraries attract passengers in the
over-55 age group.
Junior
Cruisers
For
children and teens, each NCL vessel offers a program of “Kid’s
Crew” supervised activities for young cruisers ages 3 through 17. Norwegian
Sun and Norwegian Star introduced the fleet's first teen centers. Evening
group and private babysitting services are available for a fee. Children
under age two cruise free with their parents. Drawbacks for families
are the smallish standard cabins that are lacking in adequate
storage and the absence of self-service laundry facilities.
