I just emailed NCL and was told there is a 3% surcharge
to get cash at the casino cage.

Aside from the varied selection of daily specials, each dining room had standard offerings that included rib-eye steak, salmon and several others. The food was well-prepared, beautifully presented and hot when it was supposed to be. The salads were nice and cold, so they've really made an effort here.

There were a gymnastics/acrobatics team (don't remember the names) but both were Olympic athletes in the past, and a very funny magician, Murray, who's appeared on America's Got Talent, and on Pawn Stars. Two excellent shows.
