NORWEGIAN GEM TO FEATURE
NICKELODEON FAMILY PROGRAMMING

We are expanding our exclusive partnership with Nickelodeon, extending the entertainment and programming to Norwegian Gem, beginning in February 2012. Nickelodeon-themed family events, shows and activities were first introduced in April 2010 on Norwegian Jewel and in July 2010 on Norwegian Epic.

Each Norwegian Gem cruise will feature a live Nickelodeon-themed interactive show in the main theater; Nick Live Poolside!, where your clients can take part in interactive games and activities by the pool; Breakfast with the Characters, where kids - and adults - can eat, sing and play with SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer, Patrick, Diego and more; Dora's Dance Party, where kids can join Dora and the Nickelodeon cast to dance and sing along; meet and greets with popular Nickelodeon characters, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Dora the Explorer and many more. In addition, there are also other family activities offered, including Nick Jr. Story Time, family trivia and special arts and crafts sessions.

Norwegian Gem will begin offering Nickelodeon programming year-round beginning with her February 19, 2012 cruise, sailing from New York City to the Bahamas & Florida.

All guests are advised to arrive at the pier between 10 am and noon. Once the ship is underway, there may be a change to the scheduled Bahamas & Florida itinerary.

The ship will arrive in New York at 8 am on Monday, August 29. All guests for the August 28 cruise are asked to arrive at the pier on Monday, August 29 beginning at noon. The ship is scheduled to depart New York at 4 pm on Monday en route to Bermuda.

Norwegian Cruise Line will introduce a new rule next January prohibiting smoking in cabins. Passengers will still be allowed to smoke cigarettes on their balconies, but not cigars or pipes. Also, they'll still be able to light up (cigarettes, pipes, and cigars) on open decks or in outdoor public spaces, based on signage in those areas.

Norwegian Cruise Line will introduce a $3.95 room service fee for orders placed between 12 midnight and 5 a.m. The 24-hour diners on the ships (Blue Lagoon or O'Sheehan's) will remain free of surcharges. In other news, NCL is expanding its popular around-the-clock pizza delivery service from the "Norwegian Epic" to all of its ships ($5 per 16-inch pizza). These new policies take effect this month on NCL's eight ships sailing from U.S. ports and next month on NCL's two ships in Europe ("Norwegian Jade" and "Norwegian Sun").

Norwegian Cruise Line canceled the upcoming winter season for the "Norwegian Jade" in the eastern Mediterranean. The ship will go into drydock in November before moving to Barcelona to operate nine-night Canary Island voyages. Fifteen sailings on the ship will be canceled this fall as a result of this decision, which NCL attributes to concerns from cruisers about port calls such as Egypt (the site of recent uprisings). NCL says the ship will return to the Holy Land next year.
