Norwegian cruises - A guide - written by Jez Rourke

Norwegian Cruise Line (NCL) is the newcomer to cruising. The cruise liners are extremely up to date and top of the mark! Norwegian cruises sail to more than one hundred and fifty ports of call. Norwegian Cruise Lines sail to The Caribbean, Florida, Alaska, Canada, Europe, South America and the Pacific Coast.

This cruise line company doesn't believe in pomp and ceremony, as Norwegians Freestyle cruising means you are free to wear what you want, eat what you want and do what you want at all times. Freestyle accommodation means that your room is just the way you want it to be, with room service, fully stocked mini-bar, customised fruit basket, fresh baked cookies and even breakfast in bed or dinner sitting out on your balcony.

The choice of accommodation is vast with large suites as well as interconnecting staterooms and suites to suit even the largest of families. NCL has lavish and comfortable garden or courtyard villas with en-suites in all the three bedrooms and a spacious five thousand square feet of privacy. Whatever you choose you are guaranteed to have an amazing view and usually a balcony.

Freestyle is a set up on Norwegian cruises, where you can eat breakfast, lunch and dinner when ever you feel hungry. If you want to lie in, take a dip or go to the gym before breakfast, then you are free to do so. It also applies to getting off the ship, as you will not have to leave your room in the early hours of the morning. Every thing is about you and in your time. if you want to get off the ship you are allowed to disembark straight away.

Ships have no less than thirteen restaurants and buffets. However, you can have breakfast in bed or eat your dinner on your balcony and be waited on by your personal waiter. Unlike some other cruise lines, you will not have to eat with a stranger, but if you would like a companion at your table, this can be arranged.

The nightlife is tremendous with dance clubs, numerous bars, casinos, and private karaoke and in the day you can enjoy Freestyle family fun, golf, sports and fitness. Norwegian Cruise also offers cruise rewards, bon voyage gifts and there are always promotions and specials.

Norwegian cruises are totally unique. Also providing a Nintendo Wii on a massive two level screen and a bowling alley?

They have left no stone unturned when it comes to providing something for everyone on all their ships - Norwegian Epic, Dawn, Jewel, Gem, Jade, Pearl, MAjesty, Spirit, Sun, Star, Sky and Pride of America.

You need to remember to book your shore excursions no later than 4 days before you travel.
