Kosher meals can be provided on all vessels when requested in advance. Requests must be submitted in writing to Azamara's Special Needs Department no later than:
- 40 days prior to sailing for Caribbean
- 80 days for Europe and South America.
Note: Kosher meals are pre-packaged.
Azamara's soft-drink program has been established for all guests onboard to obtain soda drinks at a daily rate of $5.00 plus 18% gratuity.
The purchase of the package should be for the entire cruise and not on a daily basis. In the event the purchase of the package is not made on the first day of the cruise the guest will be charged for the remaining days of the cruise inclusive of the purchase day.
After the package has been purchased, a soda sticker will be placed on the guest's signature account card.
Guests with the CoCa-Cola stickers can obtain sodas from all bars throughout the ship and with exception of room service or the mini-bars. The sodas will only be served when the guest is present and one drink at a time.
In the event a guest loses their signature account card with the soda sticker, a new folio number has to be issued together with a new card and soda sticker.
No beer or hard liquor may be brought onboard for consumption. Guests wishing to bring personal wine onboard with them at the beginning of the cruise may do so, limited to two (2) bottles per stateroom, but when consumed in any shipboard restaurant, bar or dining venue, each bottle shall be subject to a corkage fee of $25.00. If a guest receives a bottle of wine (in their stateroom) from a family member of friend, and that bottle(s) was purchased from Azamara's Bon Voyage Gift selection, then no corkage fee will apply if they wish to consume the bottle in the dining room or any public area. If a guest receives a bottle from an outside vendor and/or travel agent, and the bottle was not purchased through Azamara's Bon Voyage selection, then a $25.00 corkage fee per bottle will apply if they wish to consume the wine in the dining room or any other public area. The fee will be applied to the guest's onboard account. Alcoholic beverages purchased in ports of call or from onboard shops will be stored by the ship and delivered to guest staterooms on the last day of the sailing.
Dress Code
Appropriate attire onboard Azamara Cruises is always resort casual; there aren't any scheduled formal nights. However, guests should always feel comfortable in wearing formal attire if they so desire. No bare feet, tank tops, ball caps, bathing suits, shorts, or jeans are allowed in the dining room or specialty restaurants. Additionally, due to the recommended attire for Azamara, no tuxedo rentals will be available onboard.

Dining Requests
Dining requests should be made when you book, in advance of sailing. Upon embarkation you will find a confirmation card in your stateroom indicating your seating assignment and table number (if applicable). Upon embarkation you will find a confirmation card in your stateroom or it will noted in your ID guest card. The information will advise you of your seating assignment and table number.
We believe lunch is when you're hungry. Same goes for breakfast and dinner. You'll never have to drag yourself out of bed for a forced breakfast seating at 7:45 am or interrupt whatever you're doing so you can make it to a dinner seating precisely at 5:45 pm. We also think you should eat with whomever you want so we'll never choose your dining partners for you. Want to meet someone new? We can arrange that, too.
More Restaurants Than Days of the Week
Don't be misled by other cruise lines' dining 'options.' They really come down to some fast-food choices or one big dining hall where you often have to eat with strangers. NCL has a wide variety of actual restaurants with great, new signature dishes in every one. And, with up to 13 different restaurants and dining rooms on board, like Le Bistro, NCL's exclusive French bistro, and Cagney's, NCL's scrumptious steakhouse, you'll find something to satisfy your every craving, every night of your cruise.

Steak and a dry martini after a great day of
snorkeling. Sushi to follow lounging by the pool all
day. French or Mediterranean after a long day of
shopping. Tapas or Tex-Mex before you hit the casino.
Pasta and a nice bottle of wine post-sightseeing.
Teppanyaki between swimming and checking out the jazz
singer. Made-to-order specials at the buffet's action
stations when you're finished with your massage. Burgers
and pizza to celebrate your youngest's birthday. Or
perhaps the most romantic meal of all served in the
private seclusion of your balcony. With so many
delicious choices, you can certainly eat whatever you
want.
Save the Tie for the
Boardroom
Freestyle Cruising is not too dressy, not too casual. We
call it 'resort casual.' You'll call it being on
vacation. By day, almost anything goes. Khakis, skirts,
jeans, casual tops, shorts, or whatever are all fine.
Casual is perfect in NCL's restaurants too. Even if you've
just been at the pool and don't feel like changing, no
worries. Swimwear with a cover-up is fine at the buffet
and outdoor restaurant. At night, it's relaxed all over
the ship. When you're ready for dinner, it's collared
shirts and pants or nice jeans for guys. Slacks or
jeans, dresses, skirts and tops are perfect for women.
Kids 12 and under are welcome to wear nice shorts in
NCL's
restaurants whenever. If you want to dress up and add a
little glamour when you dine out, feel free - we've
reserved a restaurant just for that. And remember to
pack a sweater - air conditioning can be chilly.
Best 'Buffet' at Sea
Forget about those
cafeteria lines. Our buffet has a huge salad bar and
'action stations' where you can get made-to-order
specialties. Start your day with freshly squeezed
juices, a Bloody Mary or a refreshing Bellini. Have meat
carved exactly to your liking or choose your favorites
to be thrown on the grill. Enjoy a pasta dish made with
all of your favorite ingredients, then try sweet dessert
crepes with fillings of your choice. You can even whet
your appetite the day you board with a sampling of
dishes from all of NCL's great restaurants, and, when you
need a little boost or just a place to relax, head to
the Java Café for delicious Lavazza coffee drinks and
special desserts.
Lobster Galore
Lobster lovers of the
world will rejoice because NCL has lobster dishes every
single night. And choose one night of your cruise for an
absolute lobster feast.
Don't Go Away Hungry
Breakfast doesn't stop
being the most important meal of the day just because
it's the last day of your trip. So take your time.
Relax. Enjoy a delicious breakfast and start your day
off right. Leave the waking up super early, waiting in a
crowded public area then waiting some more to the other
cruise lines. When it's time to go, we'll let you know.

shorts, jeans, t-shirts or tennis shoes for evening meals in all of the

This charge will be shared amongst those staff who help provide and support your cruise experience, including the wait staff, stateroom stewards, buffet stewards, galley staff, laundry staff and others.

utilize these services.

room wine accounts. This is shared amongst the beverage
staff and their support staff, including cleaners and
utility staff. We know you will find the services
onboard exemplary.

Princess' alternative dining venues. Prices may vary or change
