In general book as much as you can in advance such as speciality dining and shows but not sure if that applies to the smaller ships such a NCL Pearl. Join latitudes for future perks and offers. Maybe consider buying some future cruise credits at the end of your stay if you enjoy NCL. Dress code is not very formal. Maybe bid for an upgrade nearer your departure date; we've enjoyed some great upgrades for reasonable bids.

Really appealing itinerary. I hope you enjoy it.
