Review summary

Warning-Do not use NCL Travel-VERY VERY VERY hard to deal with. Booked to travel with Handicap sister paid extra to travel together BUT NCL TRAVEL would not put us on same flights. Spook at least five times to change flights but all I heard was a NO. As a result my sister Missed the ship in England and spent TOUSANDS of dollars on flights meals and hotels chasing the ship up to Scotland, the staff at London Airport told her NCL TRAVEL should have not booked her on the flight she came in on-she FINALLY caught the ship THREE days into the cruise-The real issue is NCL TRAVEL NEVER contacted her AFTER several ATTEMPED PHONE CALLS on NCL's EMERGENCY NUMBER provided by them.

All staff were polite and helpful when we needed their assistance. Our Concierge Amit Chauhan took care of us with booking shore excursions to dinner reservation to escorting us on and off the ship plus assisting with handicap sister who was traveling with us. Great Concierge and a great asset to NCL
