By aa.cruises.com
Freestyle Cruising
Norwegian's Freestyle Cruising offers passengers a more relaxed, resort-style cruise product with complete flexibility and non-intrusive service of the highest standard. Hallmarks of this innovative onboard service concept include open seating and extended hours in the main restaurants, alternative dining facilities, "resort-casual" attire in the evening, increased crew-to-guest staffing, simplified tipping procedures, and a more leisurely disembarkation process.
Great Stirrup Cay
Norwegian was the first cruise line to offer a private tropical island experience exclusively for passengers. Great Stirrup Cay, located east of Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, is the northernmost island in a chain of islands known as the Berry Islands in the Bahamas. The 2.5 by 1.5-mile island boasts white-sand beaches lined with palms. Its pristine waters are home to an abundance of colorful marine life that inhabit the surrounding coral reefs. Paddleboats, sailboats, floats, kayaks, and snorkeling equipment are all available.
Dining
One of the most innovative aspects of NCL's cruising concept is the Freestyle Dining component, allowing guests to eat whenever, wherever, and with whomever they wish.
Ten different themed restaurants offer an array of international and regional cuisine, including French bistro fare, trattoria-style Italian dishes, Asian fusion, sushi, teppanyaki, and Spanish tapas. Vegetarian, low fat, low calorie, and children's menu items are available at all restaurants, and NCL's popular "chocoholic buffet" is offered on all voyages. Guests can also order from a 24-hour room service menu.
All of Norwegian Cruise Line's full-service and specialty restaurant menus incorporate a variety of regional specialties to allow guests to savor culinary creations that are unique to the exotic destinations visited during their cruise.
Entertainment
Norwegian Cruise Line's Casinos at Sea are filled with exciting games of chance including baccarat, blackjack, craps, roulette, Caribbean stud poker, 3-card poker, video poker, mystery jackpots, and 24-hour slot machines ranging from one cent to $100. Guests can take advantage of the casino's membership club and player programs, or participate in the onboard slot and blackjack tournaments.
Norwegian Cruise Line was one of the first cruise lines to feature big-name entertainers and Broadway-caliber productions. Continuing its tradition of entertainment excellence, NCL has teamed with the top theatrical producers in the world to produce a series of award-winning musical productions for its fleet.
In addition to top-notch productions, NCL offers a range of evening entertainment that includes cabaret singers, stand-up comics, and specialty acts such as jugglers, ventriloquists, magicians, and comedy hypnotists.
