Spa Sports and Workouts - Make this your Fitness Cruise

Like to catch your morning jog – go to a fitness center – spend time at the spa? 
 
Imagine using walking/jogging tracks 10 stories above the ocean.  Play a pickup game of basketball or volleyball.  Practice your golf driving. Swim in the lap pool. Work out on treadmills and ellipticals, or with free weights. Play some tennis or go bowling.
 
Part of the joy of cruising is the chance to pamper yourself, so indulge in a spa treatment and let your body and mind relax.
 
The NCL Mandara Spas are run by a division of Steiner Leisure. Steiner has spas on over 100 cruise ships and in many resorts around the world. Their staff is well trained and knows their business. Let them help you choose among styles of massage, facial treatments and body wraps. They will soothe your muscles and revitalize your skin.

NCL Dawn Menus

Norwegian Cruise Line is unique in the quantity and quality of her restaurants and eateries. NCL Dawn menus range from steakhouse, French Bistro, Japanese, Thai, Chinese, Mexican and Italian cuisines. This is in addition to the standard cruise dining rooms, buffet and a fast food joint.  At the Oasis Pool on Deck 14 is the Bimini Bar & Grill.
 
Freestyle cruise dining is the option to eat where and when you want. There’s no set time for dinner seating and the dress code is sophisticated casual. Although meals are included in our fare, alcoholic drinks and soft drinks are not.  Some of the specialty restaurants add an additional cover charge or a set charge for a given entrée. 
 
Cagney’s steakhouse serves certified Premium Angus beef. The finely textured marbling in this meat gives mouth watering juiciness and flavor. Ah – what a taste treat. 
 
Le Bistro’s menu has some typical French items like escargot, frog legs and foie gras. The food is anything but typical! Start with a salad with truffles and champagne vinaigrette. Absolutely go for the goat cheese tart with carmelized onions or the wild mushroom soup. The entrée choices can take you in many directions, including turbot, braised short ribs and grilled beef tenderloin, surf and turf, and lobster. So much of it is heavenly. Dessert – oh, wow!   Their chocolate fondue dessert – chunks of fresh fruit for dipping in melted chocolate – a treat for a chocolate lover. 
 
Make your reservation early for these or the other specialty restaurants – they just might fill up fast!
