NCL Free at Sea Dining Just Changed for Families
NCL just quietly changed Free at Sea dining — and if you're sailing with family, especially teenagers, this is big news. I confirmed directly with NCL: the specialty dining perk used to be just guests 1 & 2. Now everyone 13 and older in the cabin gets it — and it's all-or-nothing. Kids under 13 do not have to take it. They can eat off the kids menu for free or order off the adult menu for $20 in the specialty restaurant. Booking quirk: When you enter your number of guests, the site adds the meal plan for everyone first, then it corrects itself once you enter passenger info and ages. Don't panic if you see it on every guest at checkout. For a family of four, that's four specialty meals instead of two.
