Norwegian Cruise Line Freestyle Dining is an exclusive feature. Norwegian offers thirteen restaurants on a single ship. Your cuisine choices range from sushi and Italian to pizza and buffets.

And room service is available around the clock.

Freestyle Activities involves unscheduled fun. You can try your hand at yoga or bowling. You can learn kick-boxing or practice your karaoke. Like sports contests? Join a volleyball or basketball tournament. If you decide to go ashore, you can go snorkeling or learn to surf. You can sign up for scuba or kayak lessons. Many passengers enjoy the wine tasting and cooking demonstrations. Looking for something unique? Try your hand at ice carving or vegetable carving. You can also partake in the on board gambling activities or attend a show.

Freestyle Service is a hallmark of Norwegian Cruise Lines. They have superb service and more staff than other cruise lines. There is approximately one crew member for each stateroom. As a result, you are pampered the minute you step on board. With Freestyle Gratuities, service charges are included in your account so you don't have to worry about tipping throughout your trip. The service charge is then shared among the crew. You can tip extra if you want. If you don't, you don't have to worry about it.

Norwegian has an agreement with Mandara Spa. The resort spa offers state-of-the-art spa treatments including lomi-lomi style massage, hot stones, and reflexology. The "Mandara" massage is the spa's signature treatment and involves two therapists massaging you simultaneously.

Norwegian Cruise Lines has special programs for children and teenagers. These programs allow you to enjoy time to yourself while your kids participate in age-appropriate experiences as well. Youth counselors are on board to organize crafts, sports, and games for the kids. They participate in t-shirt painting and cooking classes. So your kids get to have their own cruise experience while you have yours.
