Norwegian Cruise Line Just Dropped 2 MAJOR Changes for 2025-2026
⚠️ UPDATE: NCL has since reversed the Free at Sea beverage restriction at Great Stirrup Cay — FAS packages ARE now permitted on the island. The room service limits covered in this video remain in effect. That's 8 confirmed changes in 3 months, and I'm hearing rumors about #9. 🔍 WHAT CHANGED: ROOM SERVICE (Effective Immediately): • OLD: Order multiple hot items, no restrictions • NEW: One hot item + one cold item per person, per order • Applies to all ships fleet-wide • Unanswered questions: Can you place multiple orders? Suite guest exceptions? 📊 ALL 8 CHANGES (July-October 2025): 1. More At Sea Booking Options 2. $10 Cancellation Fee for Specialty Dining 3. Change to the App to Allow Restaurant Cancellations 4. No More Delivery of Paper Freestyle Daily 5. $5 Fee for a Second Entree 6. Status Match Across All Brands 7. Room service limits - CONFIRMED 8. Great Stirrup Cay drink package ban 💭 MY TAKE: NCL still offers great value, especially for freestyle cruising fans. But the NCL of 2025 is different than 2023. Budget accordingly and read the fine print. If you're booking 2026 cruises, consider refundable rates until we see if more changes are coming. 🎥 WATCH THE SERIES: Part 1: https://youtu.be/OoDcHR6_HHc Part 2: https://youtu.be/MVIzikk5iXc 💬 YOUR TURN: Are you currently on an NCL ship?
