New to NCL

We are considering a Panama Canal cruise next May on the Bliss. Please offer suggestions about dining

reservations if appropriate and bring me up to speed on anything that is unique to Norwegian.

Thanks in advance

If you are thinking of the 15- 25 May Bliss Panama Crossing, there is a very active thread for the cruise.

Since this is a brand new ship in Her first sailings, there is not a lot of very specific information about the ship.

I have had 34 Norwegian cruises in the last several years, all have been wonderful and unique experiences. Can not wait to baord for this adventure.

Except for the complimentary continental breakfast, unless you are in a suite there is a $7.95 delivery charge for cabin service.

Bottled water is not included in the Universal Beverage Program.

You may not bring any bottled water --or sodas -- aboard.

Unlike some other cruise lines that allow one bottle of wine to be brought free onboard there is a $15 fee per 750 ml wine for all wine brought onboard even if you are going to drink it in your stateroom.

But you can bring on as many bottles of wine as you wish.

There are no formal nights.
