I think it goes without saying that this was one of those weeks. Things looked good Monday – but as you are probably well aware they got much worse as the week progressed…
This week – NCL gave us more details about their Studio cabins – most importantly they’re going to be singles and shouldn’t include a single supplement!
NCL also announced a partnership with Nickelodeon to bring Nick themed entertainment to some ships.
The keel of Carnival Magic was laid this past Tuesday, and Royal Caribbean and Rolls Royce have kissed and made up over Celebrity’s Mermaid Pods.
The situation in Haiti also touched the cruise industry and we talk about Royal Caribbean’s aid efforts and their return to Haiti as well as some of the other things going on to help out those in need.
What are your thoughts about Royal Caribbean’s quick return to Labadee? We want to know, and you can leave your thoughts over on the Facebook page…
Norwegian Cruise Line formed a new partnership with Nickelodeon to feature themed family entertainment and programming all year on select ships.
Beginning in April on Norwegian Jewel and this summer on Norwegian Epic, Nickelodeon NCL experiences will include character meet and greets and game shows. The exclusive three-year partnership also entails Nickelodeon-themed cruises featuring Nickelodeon TV stars, show premieres and continuous themed-entertainment on board.
Nickelodeon at Sea will launch on Norwegian Jewel when the ship begins sailing from New York in late April, and on the new Norwegian Epic in July. Each cruise will feature live Nickelodeon-themed interactive shows, including ‘SlimeTime LIVE!’ with Nick’s signature slime, ‘Nick Live!’ poolside entertainment, character breakfasts and meet and greets, Nick-themed dance parties and more.
Nickelodeon-themed elements will also be incorporated into NCL’s Kids’ Crew program.
In addition to the year-round programming on Norwegian Jewel and Norwegian Epic, Nickelodeon theme cruises will be offered annually, the first scheduled for Norwegian Jewel later this year.
Norwegian Epic introduces the innovative Studios, thoughtfully designed for comfort and priced specifically for those of you who like to travel on your own. It’s a completely new concept and it’s only aboard Norwegian Epic. Plus, Studio guests have access to the exclusive, keycard-access-only Studio Lounge. It’s the perfect spot to meet new friends, have a drink and relax.
Some of the features include:
- Priced for single occupancy
- Full-sized bed and contemporary décor
- Unique bathroom layout with separate sink and shower
- Many Studios are connecting, offering both privacy and togetherness with a fellow traveler
- Exclusive keycard access to Studio Lounge
