Airline Reservations Through NCL??

[JoeJersey]

Are there any advantages (price, service, etc.) to making air travel arrangements through NCL as opposed to booking ourselves?

We are booked on the Jewel leaving Miami on 12/21/07:) and would be flying from Newark, NJ.

Thanks!

pluses:

 

1. Simpler

3. Sometimes cheaper

 

Minus:

 

1. They choose your routing (unless you pay for premimum air)

2. they choose your airline

3. You cannot do a complex before/after itinaray

4. usually more expensive

I think the last poster covered it pretty well. I like the fact it is so clean, includes transfers and is one package, but all the cons are true except pricing. This depends. I have found it 50/50 when you consider transfers included. Herre is an example: a group are flying from Albuquerque in a few months, the rate is $332 per person round trip: the best rate that has come up so far has been southwest which is a few dollars lower, but doesn't cover transfers. It works out about the same. This has been my experience mostly. The biggest disadvantage is the routing and not getting the fly information until 30 days out.
