Norweigan Air

Hi everybody Just thought I would post regarding Norweigan Air We have just booked with these for our Jan/Feb B2B on Jewel of the Seas out of San Juan. We would normally have to fly to the eastern seaboard and then get a flight the next day to San Juan but Norweigan have a twice weekly service to SJU. They also fly from Fort Lauderdale and New York so if your on a TA they do one way fares back home at incredibly cheap prices using the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Well worth a look.

Regards.

We flew Norwegian to San Juan to go on our cruise in January. Some comments to help the flight be that little bit better.

It's certainly a lot more convenient than flying in the day before and staying overnight in a hotel then having to transfer or having to change planes. By the time we got to the ship it was early evening and we pretty much walked straight on.

The plane was comfortable and quiet compared to some of the older planes, the service is okay but very slow.

We had meals booked on the flight but it took more then two hours to get fed and until that was done there was no drink or snack service available. Fortunately we had picked up a meal deal from Boots at Gatwick Airport so had drinks, sandwiches and fruit to stem the cravings. The food served was okay, reasonably tasty and hot

Once the painfully slow meal service was finished they opened the refreshments service to those that wanted to order and pay by card ( no cash accepted on board) via the screen in front of you, each customer being served from the galley - not efficient.

On board duty free range is very limited if you're the sort that likes to shop at altitude.

We flew out of San Juan on the evening flight, unfortunately we were dropped off quite early in the day and we ended up hanging around the airport for the afternoon - be warned, there aren't a lot of places to sit or seats to sit upon. We have hard suitcases which we made into a bench seat / sofa after we found a quiet corner to read and people watch....

Would we do it again? Yep, probably doing it again next January, sure beats being at home in the cold.
