TBMVette Posted January 16 #1 Share Posted January 16 Hi all! New to NCL. Was looking to purchase a cruise with the Free at Sea amenities. One question. On a 7 day cruise it shows two free meals with the Specialty Dining. Is this per person or per stateroom? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare KeithJenner Posted January 17 #2 Share Posted January 17 The free at sea meals are individual credits. So both people in your room will get two meals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We reserved our two Specialty dining using the NCL app (for Cagney's and Le Bistro). What "arrangements" need to be made if we already reserved in the specialty restaurants?

Just go along to the restaurant and they will use your dining credit to cover the meal. They will probably confirm with you at the start that this is how you are paying, but the assumption will be that you are unless you tell them otherwise. The dining credit is on the system so they will be aware of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok that's good to know because we will probably eat a little bit at Food Republic and didn't want to apply our specialty dining credit for that.

stinkyharriet Posted January 18 #7 Share Posted January 18 I just got off the Getaway, 5 day cruise in a solo studio cabin. I got one free specialty meal with my fare. Prior to the cruise I had booked La Cucina for the second night. But, on the first night after the solo meeting a group of us decided to go to Ocean Blue instead (one person had already made a reservation for 4). So 4 of us solos went, we all said we were using our FAS dining credit, we were all told we owed nothing. Later that night I stopped by La Cucina and told them I'd need to cancel my reservation for the next day. No problem. Then a credit for $104/La Cucina appeared on my account in the app. I assumed they'd figure it out. Nope, the last night of the cruise it was still there. I went to the duty free shop and bought some bottles of booze to take home. I'm not sure how that happened but I wasn't going to bring it to NCL's attention. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Reservations are highly recommended for all specialty dining. When you show up to the restaurant, the hostess will inquire how you are going pay: Free at Sea specialty dining credit, purchased specialty dining credit, Latitudes voucher, other voucher or just a room charge. So, for one or two dishes at FR, you just order and pay (room charge) at your table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
