Norwegian Cruise Line modifies the Free at Sea program. Firstly, now all 5 offers are now being included in all stateroom booking categories. Due to the increase in guests that will be getting the offer,  the dining perk has been modified to account for the number of guests who will be making dining reservations. If you are on a sailing of 3-5 nights you will receive one complimentary dinner. If your sailing is 6-8 nights you will receive 2 dinners instead of the three prior to this change. 9-10 nights will receive 3 meals, 11-14 will receive 4 vs 5. And 15 nights or more will receive 5 free dinners at specialty restaurants.
