Do NCL still do small cartons of milk to have with your breakfast in the morning at the buffet. 

Yes. Brands vary by embarkation port, but this is the brand they had out of Florida ports in December

yes, and you can hoard as many as you want in your cabin fridge (great if youre sailing with kids, or want some cereal in  your cabin and not the hassle of the buffet

Great to know, thank you. My husband and I love some milk before bed at night. 😛

yes but they ran out of skim milk 3 days before the end of our cruise.  If it's crucial, store it in your fridge. If you have a child who needs skim milk, you can get more from the milk dispensers in the buffett (one milk dispenser had skim milk on the getaway.  the rest had whole. )   Also, please note they ran out of kids' cereals 2 days before the end of the cruise, so again if something is crucial bring it yourself or store it in your room.

Milk brands may vary not only by embarkation port, but also by ports along the way.  For example, during the 23 days we spent aboard the Gem this winter, we took on incredibly delicious chocolate milk from the Dominican Republic. (Just thinking about it makes me smile.)

And, depending on the source, the cartons can be educational and reveal something of the local culture (in terms of messaging).  In Panama, having run out of skim milk, we took on little cartons of whole milk that had some interesting nutritional advice on them about breast milk ("la leche materna").
