You keep seeing Freestyle Cruising and you don't know exactly what it is, right? That's because Norwegian Cruise Line is the only cruise line that offers anything like it. Let's start with the fact that there are no fixed dining times. And you never have to eat in the same restaurant twice. Really. They won't ask you to sit with strangers like on other cruise lines. And, you only have to dress up if you want to. They've created that kind of freedom throughout the ship with a ton of fun things to do, or not do. It's NCL's Freestyle Cruising. Where you're free to whatever.

With up to 13 restaurants, you'll find what you're in the mood for. Steak, sushi, Teppanyaki, tapas, French, Mediterranean, Asian Fusion, Italian, Tex-Mex, buffets, pizza. Your choices are endless. Restaurants are open for dinner from 5:30pm to midnight with seating until 10:00pm. Do your thing and catch dinner when you're hungry, not when the dinner bell rings. It's totally up to you. If you just can't decide, there's also 24-hour room service.

Not everyone wants to eat dinner with people they don't know. We say you're welcome to enjoy dinner with the people you came on vacation with. Or, if you'd like to meet new people, we'll gladly seat you with other cruisers. The choice is yours.

It's your first anniversary. It's a vacation with your best friends. Or a big family reunion. Well, it's all good because we've created the most flexible staterooms and suites on the high seas. Huge 3-bedroom rooftop Garden Villas. Cozy Inside Staterooms. Expandable Family Suites. And everything in between.

Looking for fun? On board, you can go bowling or to the spa. Try out the bungee trampoline or yoga. Karaoke or kick-boxing. Or go swimming, spinning, shopping or jogging. Off the ship, try our hiking, biking, diving, snorkeling, surfing, golfing, touring and partying Shore Excursions.

One of you wants a little glamour and you-know-who wants to wear khakis. Can this relationship be saved? No problem. Thanks to our policy of, well, no formal policy, you can be elegant one night and casual the next. It's called resort casual and it's a lot more comfortable than wearing a tuxedo.

With traditional cruising, getting off the ship can be a lot of "hurry up and wait." Not with NCL. We thought that maybe sleeping in and having a quiet breakfast or a quick workout might be a better alternative. So we say, relax any way you like, until it's really time to go.

And who said cruises aren't for kids? NCL and NCL America offer what you want, what your kids want…good times all around, for all ages, at all times, just the way you like it. Plus, complimentary activities happen every day—whether your child wants to paint, have a pajama party or put on a show. And just think of the new friends they'll make—you might even have to schedule time just to see them. Cannon balls welcome here. Each ship has its own children's themed wet and wild fun areas— slides, water squirters, and splash areas far away from mom and dad's main pool area. We also have arcades on every ship, but the bigger the ship the bigger the arcade and how much fun can you have in a day!
