I have a question: When going to the restaurants, is tipping expected- even though gratuities are prepaid? If so, do you tip after each meal or the last day of the cruise? Thank you
Christina and Stuart, you two are a hoot, and I've enjoyed your videos. The only negative I would put forth is the sound quality on all of your videos. The volume is quite inconsistent and sometimes sounds muffled. I've tried watching your videos on both my television and computer and it's the same on both whereas I don't experience this from other TH-cam videos. Can I suggest you upgrade your sound equipment to give the viewer a better experience? Otherwise, keep up the good work!
Thanks Ann! 😂 We have vastly improved since those terrible sound days 😂😂 If you watch one of our recent offerings I think you will be more impressed! Thanks for watching ❤️🤗
I am a little hard of hearing... do you think you could put the microphones closer? I hear Christine a bit better than Stuart. Both have very pleasant & soft voices. I just can't quite catch all that is being said.... Thank you fir consideration😊
Thanks for your comments. Things have improved greatly where sound is concerned as this video was created a while ago! We are being careful now with microphones 🤗
Thank you Stuart and Cristina, this is one of the best videos I have seen, very informative, I am checking reviews and making comparison between cruises. Based on your video we have taken the decision to take this cruise. Thanks again.
Thanks for the great comments. The cruise was very informal from a dressing up point of view, and it was quite lively (we were on in the school holidays!) but the outside dining options were fantastic and we loved them! Sitting outside on a warm summer evening was magical. ❤️ Have a great cruise 🥂
hi brilliant -thanks-did you get charged 20% tip on your speciality dinning -we are thinking of booking extra ones (we have 2 booked) but getting told we dont pay the tip if you book before you go ?
Thanks for the great comments. They gave us a price of £69 for 2 dining in advance and that was the total price. Onboard they charged $99 and they did charge the 20% on top. Best to book in advance 👍
You did not accurately give the pricing of the meal packages. The amount of meal packages one is permitted to purchase before sailing is limited by the cabin one rents. You should have knowledge BEFORE broadcasting misinformation. If you cannot get this right your credibility is in the toilet. Thumbs down for this vid.
It's amazing how you both remember all this information as if you were just in the restaurants.
The great thing about the Tropicana is that for dinner before 8pm there is music entertainment and the dance floor is open for those who enjoy it.
Yes, I was wondering this too:
Will you be going on Norwegian Spirit ship or Princess Ruby Princess?
I'll be on the Getaway in February 2025 in a Studio cabin. Out of New Orleans.
More at sea pkg now gives specialty dinners per the length of the cruise unless in a Studio cabin.
Will you both be on other NCL ships?
Thank you, I like the way you presented this. Intellectually, not video of you eating with commentary.
I have a question:
When going to the restaurants, is tipping expected- even though gratuities are prepaid?
If so, do you tip after each meal or the last day of the cruise?
Thank you
Not expected but we did pay our waitress on the last day of the cruise as we always sat in the same place 🥂

Certainly informative; just WRONG information. So much for credibility.
Great review - Thank you!
Thank you so much for a well presented tour. I’m genuinely surprised at the quality of food and restaurants. 👍.
We really enjoyed the speciality restaurants 🥂
With the introduction of the More At Sea there are no Specialty Dining pkgs as of 01OCT24.
American Diner is now Complimentary!
The Haven restaurant is the best onboard
Shanghai is only available for dinner so I go about 30 minutes early.

Did you ever go to Savor or Taste for Breakfast?
No we didn’t we always went to the buffet and grabbed some fruit there..
I wish the Teppanyaki restaurant didn’t take away the lobster.
Very few videos or pics of the food, and no video of the menus--so this vlog is unhelpful

Enjoy your blogs but the main restaurants are NOT complimentary. Complimentary means free but you have paid for these restaurants in your cruise fare.
