there are refrigerators in many rooms on board. Please contact reservations 1-800-327-7030 and ask what the attributes for your specific cabin is.

All staterooms have refrigerators.

There are mini-fridges in the room stocked as a mini-bar for which you pay for what you consume. If you need it for other purposes (i.e., medications) just ask the room steward to remove the contents.

Yes there are.

My correction. Coffee makers used to be available in all staterooms. After the answer from NCL, I did some research and found that they had removed the coffee makers from inside and ocean view staterooms since my last trip.

Coffee Makers are not available in Inside or Oceanview category staterooms

Yes. All staterooms have a small coffee maker. Room service also can get you coffee and cream. You also have the option of going to the 24-hour restaurant and pouring yourself a cup of coffee.

You can wear short jeans on the ship and you can go to the buffets with jeans. However the main dining room and the specialty dining rooms require a "Smart Casual" attire.

Yes, except in the main dining rooms and the specialty restaurants for dinner. Regular jeans that are not faded or torn are acceptable.

The first passengers to disembark the ship upon return are the "walk-off with your luggage" group. So if you're willing to carry all your luggage you will be in the first group to leave the ship. Second option is to pick up disembarkation tags for the first available time slot for disembarkation and pick up your luggage on the pier a day or two before return (info will be listed in the daily activity sheet or flyer left in your room).

Basically yes, you can choose when you would like to disembark by selecting the proper luggage tags at the time of distribution.
You can also carry off your bags and be one of the first ones off of the ship.

On all NCL ships they have what is called "Formal or Not" nights; generally on a 7 days cruise there will be two of these where basically you have the option of dressing formally, or not. Many people do, and you will not be out of place whether you choose to dress formally or not. On these nights, and many others, photographers will be available in the Atrium to take portrait photo's if you wish with no obligation to buy.

NCL does not have formal nights. It is Freestyle, on 7 night cruises they do have "dress up or not night", you are free to dress up or down on any night.

My understanding was that I paid $23 (for 2) x 7 days. I thought it was precalculated in my charges.

In general, you do not have to tip in the restaurants. Tips are added on to your bill at the end of the trip. $12 per passenger per day.
However, you can add additional tips for exceptional service.

Yes. Hair dryers are available in all staterooms.

The amenities the ship's stateroom is just as in any hotel. Fridge, phone, TV, coffee maker (not in inside & ocean view staterooms), ice buckets, beach towels, mini-safe, hair dryers, soaps and shampoo.

All staterooms have hair dryers.

I've heard you can but you need to escort them as access is restricted by room key card to passengers staying in the Haven.

Yes you are allowed to have other guests visit your stateroom. However they may not be allowed in the Haven courtyard.

There are no self service laundry facilities on any NCL ship but they do offer a laundry service for a fee like hotels.

No. There are no self-service laundries. All ships offer laundry, dry clean & pressing services. They have laundry bags in your stateroom that you can give to the cabin stewards. Usually around the middle of the cruise they offer discounts on the services.
However, I wouldn't use it for any delicate or expensive dresses.
