ncc1701d Posted May 24, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Hi Is there one on board with novels to borrow? Trying to pack as light as possible to fit into carry on only. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted May 24, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 24, 2018 There was a library in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bUU Posted May 24, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Libraries in hotels and cruise ships and such have been drastically affected by the popularity of e-readers. Even with the sight recovery of paper books in the last year, it may not have much impact on travel reading, especially in light of the airlines' continuing efforts to make bringing more stuff with you more expensive and less convenient. Consequently, you can expect a very much pared down library on the cruise ship, with more of the space devoted to EXC and AFAR materials and media.

sue1898 Posted May 24, 2018 #4 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I was on the NA earlier this month and the "library" is now only travel books that you can read in that area but not check out. I did find a random paperback among them and was delighted until I realized it was in German LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly reference books. I did see an atlas if you need a better map than the coloring book model they have on the screens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare nw gardener Posted May 25, 2018 #8 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Just took a quick look. Few novels. Heavy on the reference books, especially AK of course. Sent from my LG-M430 using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelnap Posted May 25, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I was on the NA back in November. At that time the selection was not the best. I did find some books in the Swap a book section, but without those paperbacks it would have been a pretty limited selection. I usually bring 6 to 8 books along and leave them all in the swap a book section of the library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
