We are using Port Valet for luggage so we won't have big bags with us. Will need to make sure the vehicle can fit 4 adults though. Here is the website I used to book our day pass hotel. It entitles us to use the hotel's pool, hot tub, lounges etc as a way to pass the hours until our redeye flight back east. https://www.resortpass.com/

We are a party of 4 disembarking from NCL at Pier 66. We are looking for a ride to our Day Resort hotel downtown and then a ride to the airport later in the evening. The reviews I've seen online are not good, mostly from fall of 2023. Wondering if anyone has used them in 2024 and what your experience has been. Their pre-order website & rates seem good, but don't want to use them if they're unreliable. Thank you!

We will be cruising on the Encore next month. My father gifted us on-board credit. He forwarded me the Amenities Confirmation email and the credit is showing in my NCL cruise summary. My questions: Can this on-board credit be used in the Casino? Is this considered refundable or non-refundable on-board credit? I can't find this info anywhere on the NCL website.... Thank you!

Hi, thanks for your response! I am not the military member but my Dad and Son are. They are not cruising with me this time, but I love to attend any kind of recognition of our military onboard!

Thanks for that info! I am not the military member, but my Dad is a Koren War veteran and my son is currently active duty AF. They are not cruising with me this time. But I like to attend the Vet meetings and any acknowledgment of our military.

THANKS Two Wheels, for sharing all of your knowledge and responding! So hopefully I'll be pleasantly surprised when I board in May and find my bed by the balcony! You have so much insight into the cabin layout and ship configuration.....is your knowledge gleaned from cruising often?? If so, lucky you!

Right.....(it was a typo) But wouldn't the bed placement be the same in cabin # 788, just one deck up? Or am I wrong to assume that?

I will be on the Encore to Alaska in May 2024. Does NCL do any sort of a military tribute? Other cruise lines do short, planned tributes of various types during the course of the week. I searched some posted Latitude Dailys but did not see anything listed. I would hate to miss it if there is one.

Well, now I'm annoyed. When booking my Alaska cruise on this ship several months ago, I expressed my wish to have a cabin with the bed by the balcony. I was assured that #13790 was set up this way. But now seeing this video of #13788, I'm realizing that the bed is going to be by the closet. Arrrrgh, so much for using a travel agent who spoke directly to NCL about this when booking. I realize this is a 1st world problem, but I have only ever had a bed by the closet on 5 previous cruises and wanted the opposite. Not to mention that the closet seems easier to access without the bed right next to it. I wish bed position info was available somewhere on line, but I searched all the cruise deck sites, including NCL's, and could never find it. 😞

Our party of 4 will be ending our Alaska cruise on NCL Encore on May 12, 2024. Upon debarking, we will be going to the Embassy Suites Pioneer Square hotel on a daypass as our East Coast flight does not leave until 11pm. We are using Port Valet so we will not have much baggage with us. My question is, how easy is it to meet up with your Uber/Lyft driver on Pier 66? Is there a designated rideshare lot or area?
