Website before you even set foot on the ship. So let's check it out
Hey everyone, it's Ken here from Northern Viking Explorer
And this channel is all about travel exploring and discovery and also cruising

So if you're interested in that make sure you click the subscribe button so you don't miss out on upcoming videos
so today we're gonna head over to the Norwegian Cruise Lines website where I'm going to show you how to pre booked your
Dining your entertainment your shore excursions and your onboard entertainment before you even set foot on the ship
It's really easy to do and it only takes a few minutes
We were on the Norwegian jewel a few years back. We didn't have this option
So this is really convenient to have everything pre-booked before you even head out
So let's head on over to the website and show you how it's done
So, hey everyone, I've got my Starbucks mug many of you don't know we collect Starbucks minds with probably about
75 of them so far. This one's from Mount Rainier National Park in Washington. It's a pretty cool one
I hope to pick any one up in Alaska while we're there. So we'll see if we can find one there
I hear there are some Starbucks up there
So we'll have a look but right here on the Norwegian website, you can see I'm actually already logged in
so once you're logged in
You can actually go over here to the top and there's a few different tabs and one of them says manage
So go ahead and hover over the manage tab
And what we're looking for is the one that says already booked and when you click on the already booked one
It's gonna load up a page that says adventure awaits now this page may change over time to time
But I'm sure Norwegian will have something similar if they do change it now down here at the bottom
You can see there's all sorts of things that you can do and plan so explore and plan. There's shore excursions
There's dining entertainment bars and lounges and the spa Gibson more and onboard activities
So well, we'll select few of these and go through them for you and I'll take you through booking something
And so we'll start out with dining
And when we load that up
It loads up there's a couple of pages here
You can see there's all sorts of stuff that you can pre-book the first one being specialty dining packages
So on a cruise ship you can there's complimentary dining and then there's specialty dining where you would pay for
Dinners to go to they're usually fancy restaurants or they might be specialty burger places that sort of thing
So this one has different packages and they range from ninety four. Eighty to one hundred and sixty six eighty on the norwegian
Joy, and you can buy say you want to do three
Three nights of specialty dining you can book that here for ninety four eighty and there's a few different restaurants that you can choose from
So let's head back here or you can book them individually as well
Click back on the dining
So that's the specialty dining packages three to seven nights
When you go down the list
You can see there's the ocean blue and that one's a la carte so that does mean you pay for that one
The Manhattan Room is complimentary we're gonna go there so a few nights
Room service, you can't actually book reservations for room service
the savor
The taste
Those ones are complimentary. We've got the Garden Cafe, which is the buffet on the Norwegian joy, and you can't make reservations for that
but there's the Haven restaurant and
That one's for people who booked a Haven room. So not anyone not everyone can get in there
Tapan hockey, I'd love to try that sometime. We were on the Norwegian jewel, and we didn't get a chance
So maybe we'll try that out this time. I'm not sure. I have to chat with Andrea about that. There's the American diner
Burgers different things like that fried chicken and that one is Ella carte
Cagney's Steakhouse
There's the steak houses seem to be really popular on these cruise ships. So
Maybe we'll try that one out and then there's food republic on the second page
There's a few more the luck gina the bistro and those ones are a la carte the queue and the local this one complementary
They had on the Norwegian jewel. They had I believe it was called O'Shea hands and it was a pub style
restaurant and it was free other than alcoholic beverages or
specialty drinks and
They had great chicken wings and different things like that. They also had great burgers and chicken potpie all sorts of stuff
So that's a great one
And again, that one's doesn't need reservations as well as typically the the dinner places that you need reservations for
So let's go through the whole ordering process and do the taste restaurant. So we'll select that one. It's a complimentary restaurant and
We're going to do let's say July the second
so you can select that date and there's a party of two and
Probably 7:30 dinner for that date. So we'll select that and then you can just hit Add to Cart
And once that's in there you just hit go to payment and you can see that it's a zero
dollar total and you have to agree to the terms and just add it to your itinerary and
It is that simple they just process it and you email you a list with everything on it
all right, so I'm back on the main page here and
What I want to do is go to
Entertainment. I'm going to have a look at the entertainment
So on the ship there is this one has Footloose as well as elements on there
And those are complementary shows. We've already actually booked them, but I'll go in here and show you
so Footloose for example has
two nights that you can choose from and
There's two showings so 7:00 and 10:00 p.m. So you'd select that and do the same thing
We just did where you add it to the cart and go through the payments. And again, it's free on those ones
we'll go back out and
There's a musical that one you actually have to pay for you can see here it's
24:53 wine lovers the musical the comedy nights for some reason the complimentary comedy night
The page isn't working right now and then the cavern club
Which is having a Beatles performance in there, and that one is not available to booked online
So this one only had a couple that we booked and we have already pre booked those ones
Let's go back and have a quick look at some of the other ones
I'll skip bars and lounges, but we'll have a look at the spa
So you can book all sorts of spas different things seaweed massage that looks pretty interesting a
Bamboo massage, so there's all sorts of stuff that you can pre-book in there
Shore excursions now, this is a cool one. There's all sorts of stuff. So if you're into whale watching you can do that
Go see the Mendenhall Glacier if you're in Juneau, Alaska
the fjords
Totem poles all sorts of stuff go on the scenic Pass
Scenic rail or sorry the White Pass Scenic Railway. Let's have a look at that one. So it's
$149 for that and it's in Skagway, Alaska. So this looks like it could be fun
So it already has the date in there
There's only one day that we're in Skagway and only one time so it leaves at noon and it's 150 dollars
So if you want to purchase that it tells you all about it here
So it's really easy to book your shore excursions in here ahead of time
It takes a lot of the pressure off when you're on the ship
Standing in line and trying to book them there at the shore excursion desk. It's way quicker to do it on line and
You can add your whole trip pre-planned out
So let's go back and look at some of these other ones
Let's have a look on board activities
So the Norwegian joy has a racetrack on it, it's one of the few ships that has go-karts on it. This looks really cool. I'm
Pretty much for sure. I'm gonna book this. It's only 15 bucks and
so
basically
Unlimited packages are available as well. It doesn't look like you can pre-book this one
So but it does tell you all about it here as well. So, you know what some of that amenities are on the ship
There's also latest laser tag
Talks about the different things on the ship minigolf the aquapark kids Center
The fitness center so there's all sorts of things on the ship that it will talk about that. You don't have to pre-booked as well
and
let's go have a look at this other one this last one gifts in more because you can actually
Pre book different things for your room
So for example if maybe it's a special occasion and you want to order flowers for someone's birthday you can do that
There aren't a lot of them in here. But let's see what's on the second page chocolate-covered strawberries
Those look really good or a cheese plate. Mmm and
A bottle of wine so you can order all those ahead of time if you want
and
Let's go have a look here as well
Why don't we just have a quick look at the bars and lounges while we're here
And you can see so this one again, it's just going to show you some of the
Bars that are on the ship and again, you don't have to make reservations to these so you can't book them
they just save you so there is a starbucks on the ship and maybe they will have
Starbucks mugs on the ship. That would be cool
Be sure to pick one of those up. Oh
Yeah, so that's how you do it that's how you pre book all your shore excursions and your
Restaurants it's really easy to do and it saves you a whole bunch of time over when you're doing it on the show
Also, I'd like to mention cruising ducks
And if you don't know what cruising ducks are and you're finding little ducks all over cruise ships all around the world
