What is the dress code onboard?

The dress code for Cayamo 2012 is much more relaxed than a normal cruise. We want you to be comfortable! The only thing we ask is that you don't wear bathing suits or ripped clothing in the dining room. There is one "formal night” though, and you’re welcome to get a little more dressed up for that – but keep in mind it’s optional and all in good fun.

Don’t forget to leave enough room in your suitcase for the theme nights! Be prepared to get creative and join in on the fun!

What shore excursions are available and how do I book them?

You cannot book shore excursions with NCL until you are issued a reservation number, which will happen about 4-6 weeks before the cruise sets sail. Once you have been issued the booking number, you can book excursions online at NCL’s website.

What dining options are available on board?

There is no shortage of food onboard; enjoy a quick snack out by the pool, hit the buffet or enjoy 24 hour room service all included in your cabin price! Certain specialty restaurants are available with either nominal cover charges or fixed price menus and à la carte pricing in addition to the standard dining program.

Additionally, the formal dining rooms offer a nicer, sit-down meal for the times you’re more interested in being waited on. These meals are also included in your cabin price.
