Our private group dance classes, parties, and hosting will be provided by the super talented and fun professionals from May I Have This Dance, along with some fantastic guest instructors! We’re proposing over 20 dance workshops, private dance parties and dinner dancing most evenings, deck parties, and outings to the ship’s lounges and nightclubs. Although NCL can’t confirm until closer to sailing, we anticipate having a busy and super fun program filled with dance activities.
We will poll our group members several months before sailing to determine the exact line-up of class topics, levels, and dance party playlists, but it will likely be a great mix of West Coast Swing, Ballroom, Salsa, Hustle, Latin, Tango, Jitterbug, and more.

Pricing
Quick Quick Slow Travel has negotiated incredible pricing with NCL. This special pricing, available only to our group, is lower than going directly through NCL or any agency or website. Our pricing for some cabins is more than $2,000 lower than booking direct or through other agencies! QQST does charge an event fee, which covers time and cost in negotiating, coordinating, organizing the trip, compensating our instructors and staff, rental and costs of ship’s facilities and equipment, and covering our admin costs. For full transparency, we have separated and detailed these costs below. To make it simple for you, we have created one booking form with all the options for you and your roommate to complete and send to QQST. We will forward this form to NCL on your behalf once we process the QQST information & payment.
QQST Event Fee
This fee is mandatory to be part of our group and must be paid before, or at the same time as, paying NCL for the cruise. Each person must pay this fee in order to get our special discounted cruise pricing and to get the special amenities, perks, programming, and resources for our group. It is not refundable.
