Norwegian extends room service charge fleetwide

Norwegian Cruise Line said it is extending its $7.95 charge for room service orders fleet wide and making it permanent as of May 1.

The line had been testing reception to the charge on Norwegian Breakaway and Getaway since April.

Individual food items on the room service do not carry a price, but there is a per-order convenience charge.

There are some exceptions to the new charge. Morning coffee and continental breakfast delivered to the room will continue to be complimentary. Also, room service orders placed by guests sailing in suites and The Haven luxury enclave will not incur a charge.

The introduction of charges is accompanied by an expanded room service menu for breakfast, in addition to a wider variety of options available 24 hours, Norwegian said.
