Norwegian Cruise Line created Freestyle Dining -- a flexible approach to dining in the restaurant of your choice, at the time that is convenient for you. Rather than go to dinner at a fixed time in an "early" or "late" dinner seating, there's no schedule to follow with Freestyle Dining. You even have the option of making dining reservations for each night of your NCL cruise so you can dine at a specific time of your choosing -- this ensures you will almost never have to wait for a table.

Freestyle Dining lets you show up at restaurants where you do not have a reservation and they will seat you as availability permits.

As always, the schedule for the events will be released closer to the sail date as we have to coordinate with the ship for our event spaces. The Schedule will be automatically added to your phone app itinerary. Make sure you have it downloaded to your phone.

You will receive an email (invoice) stating your payment was successfully processed by the vendor. A copy of the updated invoice will also appear in your phone app. Payments are processed during our normal business hours in the order they are received.

Please email us at travel@thecoolpanda.com with your booking number and your medical needs.

• As the health and well-being of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance, Norwegian Cruise Line will institute changes to its smoking policy for all sailings on or after November 1, 2014. The specific changes prohibit smoking on stateroom balconies and limit smoking in the casino to players. On Norwegian Getaway and Norwegian Breakaway, smoking on The Waterfront will be permitted on the starboard side, except by the outdoor dining areas.

• Guests in the Garden Villas may smoke in their private garden and on their private sun decks.

• Public areas throughout all our ships are smoke-free. If you smoke regular or electronic cigarettes, you can do so in designated areas only. If you prefer pipes or cigars, you can smoke in the Cigar Bar or designated smoking lounge. Smoking cigarettes, electronic cigarettes, cigars and pipes is permitted in outdoor public guest spaces and open decks where designated by the ship's management based on the ship's specific characteristics and arrangement. Smoking, including electronic cigarettes, is prohibited in or near venues serving food, the jogging track, outdoor sporting venues, The Haven outdoor areas and children's pool areas. On ships with The Waterfront, smoking is permitted on the starboard side excluding any food service areas. Active Casino players may smoke cigarettes in the Casino during gaming hours. Cigarette smoking is not permitted in any other indoor venue or location.

• Guests are not permitted to smoke cigarettes, e-cigarettes, cigars or pipes in their staterooms or on their balconies. Cigar and pipe smoking in staterooms and on balconies is prohibited. Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 USD cleaning charge added to your onboard account. If cigarette burns on furniture, linens, towels or carpeting are detected; guests will be advised and charged for the damages.

• Electronic cigarettes cannot be used in public areas where there is a No Smoking policy in force; simply because these cigarettes look so realistic and therefore other guests' perception is that we are not enforcing the No Smoking rule.
