Norwegian Cruise Line has released its next version of the Cruise Norwegian mobile app. Get directions to the port and access mobile online check-in functions for a quick and paperless e-doc boarding experience.  Onboard the ship (with paid internet access), you can stay abreast of all daily activities. You can preview and reserve shore excursions, place dining and entertainment reservations and buy dining, beverage and special occasion packages.  One of the only things that costs extra is the onboard calling and messaging function—which permits you to give fellow guests unlimited shouts via voice or text—for a flat $9.95 for the length of the cruise. Group messaging even allows for planning meet-ups and sharing photos. Otherwise, outbound shoreside calling through the app is priced at $0.79 per minute to most countries.  You can also review shipboard charges and Immigration and Easy Walk-off disembarkation details.  The new generation of app is ready to use on Norwegian Sky and will be available on the line’s new Norwegian Bliss during summer 2018.  It will roll out to the rest of the fleet by the end of 2018.
