Am going on a cruise in the first week of September with my 8 month old. What queries do you have?

Can we carry bottled water to MSC Seascape for infant formula?

Placed a hold at my local library

So there are food counters in the OL, but no bar? What would be the closest bar to OB?

Is insurance mandatory? If I am going to use my credit card insurance, what do I show?

Drink package is $109 per day PER PERSON + Gratuities (20%) = $109 + 21.80 (20% of $109) PER PERSON. For 10 days it is $1090 + $218 (gratuities). As part of FAS, you only pay the gratuities.

I have looked at the menus. Actually, we got the packages as part of FAS for 1 room (just paying gratuities seemed worth). The other room we got was on a fare which did not allow FAS. Also, we are going just for the experience and to try something new, since we have a 15 night cruise, and might get bored of MDR. We are vegetarians, and 90% of the menu would be out of bounds. Hence thinking to order just a couple of items in ala carte, for the people who are not on package, if it is allowed.

Do NCL specialty dining package go down in price at any point? Currently am seeing the 2 meal package at 118 per person. Also, is it possible for 4 people to go for specialty dining, when 2 of them are on package, and the other 2 are doing ala carte?

Do FAS prices drop? Aren't we only paying gratuities in FAS package? How does it change then?

Are all bars included in the FAS drinks package? What about the drinks you order at specialty restaurants? Also, when the ship is in port, and you drink with your FAS package, do you have to pay taxes? Any difference in US ports or Foreign ports in this regard?

Hey, how was your experience? Which restaurants and vegetarian food did you try? Any recommendations? Also, how was your experience with the special diets coordinator? Did it make a difference?

Can you cancel or change the specialty dining reservations you book well in advance? Are infants allowed in specialty dining restaurants?

Can we get shareholder OBC if the second person on the booking is the shareholder? Also, does it matter if the first and second person are citizens and residents of different countries? Also, do you get shareholder OBC if you book through a TA? Who do you submit your holding statement to - TA or NCL directly?

If a TA is giving you OBC, would it be refundable or non-refundable? How do you get refundable OBC?

Do the taxi's fare by meter or you have to haggle?
