  1. Hey everyone,

     

    Suffering some of the consequences of late surprise trip planning...

     

    We're headed on a cruise on the NCL Jewel on October 18 out of the Bayport Cruise Terminal. Little did I realize what an impact sailing from a new-ish port would be. So few affordable transportation options!

     

    Talking directly with Norwegian, their shuttle service is $45pp/one way. That's painful. And of course the hotel they partner with (hotel + shuttle) is already sold out for the night prior.

     

    I looked at one way car rental, but the nearest location that accepts one way is a Hertz or Budget 20+ minutes away! So then you're talking car rental + taxi to the port.

     

    At this point, I'm looking for ideas. I'd prefer avoid the $100 taxi fare, or $90 Norwegian shuttle if I can avoid it.

     

    Any recommendations you have would be appreciated. Thanks!

     

    We are looking at super shuttle which quoted us $75. For 2 of us. Hope that helps

  2. Yeah, you're probably right, that's why you suggested the parachute, right? At least they'd have a chance of landing on the heliport pad ...:D

     

    Sorry, Gizmobabe... the fun has all been taken away........no parachuting for you either...guess you'll just have to call and get it corrected........::sigh:: :D

     

    nooooo I loved the thought of jumping from the plane to the ship. it would have been awesome:D

  3. we have booked our cruise and flights with NCL directly, however we received our flight details today and we land in Houston at 4:15pm but our ship leaves port at 4pm!!!!

     

    phone lines are closed until tomorrow just wondering if anyone else has had a similar issue and what the outcome was. we are flying from the UK
