A: book yourself an onboarding slot of your own choosing.
Answered by rjcm on December 28, 2023
A: usually after 10:30am but it will vary due to clearing immigration first, and all passengers are disembarked.
Answered by Krazz on September 22, 2023
A: Not sure the absolute earliest but I checked in at 11am and went straight in board - just bear in mind your room will not be ready though until 1pm-2pm. It really depends how early they get to the port though - if it’s a later arrival then it’s a lat... er turnaround.See More

A: cost $45 a night and yes it's pricey but at least you know your car is by the ship and you don't have to walk or take a cab from another parking place
Answered by enjoyurdaysmile on September 15, 2023
A: I agree. Sometimes it’s not worth it to cheap out in certain situation‘s. The only other parking you’re going to find will be probably $30 a day and then you’re going to have to haul your suitcases over to the port. Not worth it! Pay the money and kn... ow your car safe and you’ll have an easier time getting on and off the ship. So you will begin and end your trip with less stress! Good luck!See More

A: We did a Canada cruise out of NY at the end of last month. We parked at the port, my parents and sister parked at a garage half a mile away. It saved us about 1.5 hours when we got there and probably another hour leaving. Super easy to get right up t... here. They were about $30 cheaper than I was for the week, which to me was not worth it. Doing this cruise and all 3 of us will 100% park at the port. We could see our car from our balcony when we got to our room.See More

A: 711 12th Avenue, also if you’re taking Uber or Lyft, type in the address bar: Manhattan Terminal ~ Also, as an FYI the correct address for the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal is 210 Clinton Wharf. If you are taking a regular yellow cab, just tell them “M... anhattan Cruise Port Terminal” all these options work for GPS purposes. The Piers are 88 & 90 for Manhattan. Pier 12 for Brooklyn. Happy cruising 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️See More

Q: We are leaving on the Getaway on May 11. Our flight gets in at 8:30 so we should be at the port by 10 at the latest. The earliest time to check in is 12:30. How strict are they about the time and what is there to do for two and a half hours if we have to wait?

A: Tip, for someone who has used NCL air in the past, you can request a day or 2 deviation and you do not need too book a hotel thru them to do it. You still at the mercy of NCL's policies, has always been cheaper than booking it yourself.Cruise lines... are getting tighter on arrival times and have made folks wait. So I would take your time at the airport. If you are using NCL transfers, you will wait for other passengers.See More

A: rookie mistake coming in the day of the cruise
Answered by kpm3261 on April 22, 2023
A: At 10 the previous guests should still be disembarking so I’d say you’ll be waiting if you really are able to get from plane to port that quickly.
Answered by WhyStopTripping on April 22, 2023
A: It is not a rookie mistake. The airfare is part of our ticket through ncl so I am not worried about coming in the same day. When we don’t go through ncl we DO come in a day early.
Answered by Gammi6 on April 22, 2023
Q: just read that someone had smoking guest in the cabin above them. is smoking allowed in the balcony rooms? I always thought that was not allowed.

A: Guests are not permitted to smoke cigarettes, cigars, pipe, electronic cigarettes and vapor devices in their staterooms or on their balconies. Smoking inside your stateroom or on your balcony will result in a $250 USD cleaning charge added to your on... board account. If cigarette burns on furniture, linens, towels or carpeting are detected; guests will be advised and charged for the damages. Guests in the Garden Villas may smoke in their private garden and on their private sun decks.See More
Answered by mag19 on February 6, 2023
A: No smoking on any balcony, except for balconies on some forward suites in some of the older/smaller NCL ships.
Answered by jpmato16 on February 6, 2023
A: Every balcony cabin I’ve stayed in has always had the no smoking sign But of course we really don’t know what they are smoking 🚬.

A: The main show is Million Dollar Quartet and it’s about the 70s male (one female) singing stars. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Carl Perkins. Look at the food venues on shipmate to see food
Answered by SmurfMN on January 28, 2023
A: Download the app. The complementary restaurants are excellent, especially the Tropicana room with live music when available. The specialty restaurants are also excellent and worth the package. Cagney( steak), Le Bistro (French) and the seafood restau... rants are my favs. All shows are free except the dinner theater magic show. Go to box office right away and make reservations for shows as they might fill up.See More
