Alls well! Our ATL to MCO had standbys, over a dozen! We never had to worry though. An NCL rep greeted us warmly at baggage claim (ok I greeted her but she reciprocated!) and we are jauntily barreling down the highway to Port Canaveral in a charter bus, part of our NCL Air package. We bought priority boarding and are in a club balcony mini suite, so I’ll see how long it takes to walk onboard from exiting the bus, but, so far, all has been seamless and simple. Wish us and the rest cruising on the Getaway a happy and safe sail away 🙂 Cagney’s reserved tonight!

Hey all, I realize that many have been curious as to the current state of the NCL Air program given current challenges in the travel industry. Right now, we are hanging out at our local airport waiting to head to ATL, and we leave today from Orlando at 6pm (must be on board by 4pm). We were all just cheerily informed by Delta that the early flight we are on is overbooked ….by five people. They are currently offering $800 a person to bump to another flight, but we think they may start bumping people whether they like it or not. We are vastly interested in whether booking with NCL will have helped secure our timely passage at the moment. So we will let you know how that goes from here to Atlanta to Orlando and to sail away! By the way if Anyone got any questions for Getaway, let me know; we’d be happy to check! And yep as of writing they are starting to call people to try to bump 😕

Hey there, sailing out of Port Canaveral on Aug. 6 on the Getaway. Does the karaoke setup vary between ships/class of ship, are there set lists/list of specific songs, do they ever -update- that list, and can you "B-Y-O-Music"? I know this sounds silly, but my husband and I like to duo and if there are certain songs we have to stick to, we have to do some planning and practice before we "go on stage." I tried to find some pertinent information, but I couldn't dig up anything past 2014. TIA!

That's REALLY got to be frustrating if you brought your children for this vacation, the kids clubs are integral to a lot of families cruise vacations. I'm sorry to hear that; we sail on 8/6 so out of pure selfishness, please keep us updated on any other shenanigans or pleasant surprises on board if you can. Sorry about the long boarding process, too. Seems Getaway is having a few hiccups, but it could be a heck of a lot worse! Still have all yours ports?

I actually ran into this, and still have questions myself, when researching whether or not NCL would have the option of sticking my DH and me on a red-eye or "stupid amount of stops" flight, for my regional airport to MCO, which is an 8 hour drive, but has zilllions of nonstops/commuters. The answer, my friend, is, maybe, probably yes, so you/we can expect all kinds of fun layovers! Air Sea Program | Cruise Line Transfers, Air Ticketing, Charges & Cruise Documentation | Norwegian Cruise Line (ncl.com) "Terms are governed by the individual air carrier ticket contract and NCL's Guest Ticket Contract. NCL reserves the right to choose the air carrier, routing, and city airport from each gateway city. Also, NCL reserves the right to substitute commuter service and/or charter air service for scheduled air carriers without prior notice. All terms and conditions governing NCL's Air Sea Program and the air transportation arranged by NCL will equally apply to such chartered air service. Flight schedules may not, in some cases, be the most direct, and connections, layovers and involuntary overnights in route may be necessary depending on the departure city and final destination . The cost of such overnight arrangements (food, lodging, transfers and items of a personal nature) will be the passengers' responsibility. Actual flight schedules, fare basis and applicable rules cannot be committed until airline tickets are issued. Airline tickets are issued on fares that are capacity controlled and highly restrictive. These airline tickets may not be reissued or exchanged for another carrier or routing. Airfares include all fees, surcharges, and government taxes." AFAIK, you won't receive your flight info til about 30 days out. For example, we sail in 39 days, and are still patiently waiting on the flight info. Yay. 🙂 Still excited though!
