We are driving in from another state. We have Total Rewards cards, but only a gold level. Thanks all for the suggestions!

Any suggestions for parking for the NCL port in New Orleans other than the official port parking lot? Pricing seems a bit steep there.....

Thank you, Boschmann, for your reply. We'll stay put for the time being. As first time NCL customers, we are interested to see how NCL's customer service really is. Like you said, it would be considerate of them to at least offer some OBC for the difference.

RSFCruiser, I agree it is a business and NCL needs to make money. I just feel with all the upgrades and extras I see others getting, NCL could offer something to acknowledge our extra payment. They certainly are not REQUIRED to do anything. Something could be said for good customer service.....

Lanameister, lots of luck to you. Hopefully your TA will come thru for you!

We've booked a 9th floor inside cabin on the Norwegian Dawn on March 6th. In checking the current pricing, the category room we've booked is now $300 less. We've contacted NCL to see about an upgrade and the only thing they would offer is a porthole room on deck 4. We are not so sure that would actually be an upgrade. I know technically a porthole cabin is always considered an upgrade over an inside cabin, but I question the location on deck 4. They refused to offer any other type of compensation for the difference is price. Any other thoughts on this? We sailed on other lines having OV and inside cabins and have never really thought the OV was worth the actual $$$ to us. This is our 40th anniversary trip and the first time with NCL. I must say our initial opinion of NCL isn't terribly high at this point.

Thank you for the update on the festivals.

Thanks for offering the information. We will be in Newport on Sept. 5th (Labor Day weekend). Is there any festivals or anything unique about that weekend we should be aware of? We have been to Newport once before and loved it. We're really looking forward to the return visit!
