kdmbluerzr Posted October 9, 2019 #42 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This is awesome info! Thanks to tvlworm for starting and maintaining this thread info. I have the free air booked on two upcoming cruises, first being the Getaway out of New Orleans in January. Currently I do not have a deviation to come in the day before, however after reading through these comments, am now wondering if I should rethink that. I live in Idaho and the flight will be out of Boise, no such thing as a direct nonstop flight. Both AA & DL have flights that depart BOI @ 5:30 a.m. and arriving in NO @ 1:15. It's going to be close....… hmmmm. Input & comments welcome. The Bliss cruise in Feb 2021 has a one day early deviation into MIA already so good to go there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be on the safe side for your Getaway cruise, I’d probably do a deviation for the day prior. The DL options probably connect through SLC or MSP, and both could have winter weather impacting flights, as could Boise. AA, if they use those options might be a bit safer as I’m guessing the connection city is DFW, but even the slightest delay on any of those could impact getting to the ship on time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hubs and I discussed and I plan to contact my PCC with NCL in the morning and have him make the deviation change to arrive to NO day before. Thanks.

My opinion is that if the cruise wasn't in the winter months, I might consider no deviation but in January, I would never not have my flights at minimum the day before my cruise. I've done 42 cruises in the last 22 years and most of them in the winter months. I learned not to think about only local forecasts for our airport as airplanes come from all other parts of the country. A delay on the other side of the country due to bad weather might well become a delay for us in Boston. I love to gamble but not when it comes to making it to my ship in the winter!
