Zbayette Posted July 23, 2015 #1 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Hi, my husband and I are booked on NCL, Norwegian Star in January. Can someone please tell me what toiletries, etc are in each cabin....shampoo? conditioner? What do I need to pack? Also do the balcony cabins have mini refrigerators? Thanks!

Rare mizLORInj Posted July 23, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 23, 2015 (edited) There will be shampoo and body wash in dispensers in the shower. No conditioner or lotion, etc. unless you're in a suite. Yes, balcony cabins have mini-fridges. Edited July 23, 2015 by mizlorinj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zbayette Posted July 23, 2015 Author #3 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Thanks, that's very helpful, though I'm disappointed that I have to pack my own conditioner and lotion. :( I guess I'm not going to be able to pack everything into carry-on and avoid baggage fees. :mad: Some cruise lines give you a free canvas bag to use (and keep). Is there anything like that on NCL? I haven't traveled with them since 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barb Nahoumi Posted July 23, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 23, 2015 nope! no welcome aboard sparkling wine anymore either. :mad: Unless you're platinum. Then you'll find a bottle of champaign in your cabin. Heck, I don't even like the stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barb Nahoumi Posted July 23, 2015 #6 Share Posted July 23, 2015 I bring my own shampoo, but use their shower gel. If you're in a balcony or above you are entitled to bathrobes. If none are hanging in your closet, ask your steward. Suites are provided with all sorts of lotions, and the heavy terry robes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissLe Posted July 23, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Unless you're platinum. Then you'll find a bottle of champaign in your cabin. Heck, I don't even like the stuff. 'Sparkling Wine' for Platinum members, explaining the taste of it! I'll stick to the prosecco by the glass on UBP instead thanks! The shampoo in standard cabins doesn't even satisfy my needs for soft shiny hair, heck I don't think I'd even use it on my car. I'd always bring my own unless I'm in a suite and then it's splash on the Elemis! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mizLORInj Posted July 23, 2015 #8 Share Posted July 23, 2015 The Welcome Aboard drink (I took the sparkling wine) used to be handed to you as you walked onboard the ship. I really liked that about NCL--back then. It was a very nice touch I thought. And I agree the bottle of sparkling wine we get as platinum is just "eh".

Zbayette Posted July 23, 2015 Author #9 Share Posted July 23, 2015 Wow, I've been sailing Holland America recently and we always get a welcome aboard drink, and lotion and conditioner in the cabins! :) What time are we allowed to board for a 5 PM sail? Do we get lunch onboard on sail day? How soon after boarding can we utilize the "free beverage package"????:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celebrity did too--hand a glass to you (but that was 2 years ago and who knows how it is now). Boarding usually begins by noon and yes you can get lunch at a few places on the ship.

We are in a balcony cabin on the Dawn. We usually sail Celebrity which does supply robes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they start around 11:30. The buffet will be open. One of the main dining rooms will open around noon for seated meals. Cabins normally ready about 1:30. Your beverage package is printed on your cruise card (or a sticker) and you can start drinking as fast as you can find a bar. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drinking info is correct, except, while you're in port the taxes will not be covered by UBP, you pay those. Usually under a dollar a drink.
