This is the 2nd night in a row i have followed the link on my email to request a cash refund for my May 23 cruise and when i click the link it says "the page took a permanent vacation"?  anyone else experiencing this???

We are cruising out of NYC on NCL Pearl in May with a 2 night stay in Manhattan before.  We have shuttle service with go airlink from airport to hotel but i cant find a shuttle service van from hotel to port, only car or taxi service.  Has anyone done this with advice to get us and our 2 year old to embarkation safely since we wont have a car seat?

On the pearl in May. Got email offer with minimum bid to upgrade starting at 100 bucks from a balcony.   
 

what exactly is the difference between these two rooms other than a couple extra square feet.  Is it worth bidding?

also is it only charged for the first 2 guests or all if There are 3 of us?

thanks for any help!

2 questions as this is our first NCL trip as parents:

Will they provide bed rails for a toddler?

We have the specialty Dining Perk and i thought i remember reading somewhere that a child can order off the regular kids menu for free in the specialty places.  If not can we just share with him off our plates?

Any other advice on travelling with a toddler is appreciated!  Flying into NYC for the Pearl to New England/Canada rountrip with a pre hotel stay in manhattan.

Which of the 3 airports are you flying into and which of the 3 Cruiseports are you sailing from?

Go Airlink is mentioned from time to time.  The main comment seems to be that with a shared van service you might ride around a lot to drop off or pick up folks before you get to your destination.  What would they be charging you per person and how many people?

in and out of laguardia and manhattan cruise terminal.

Have done shared rides before so ok with the delay.

Has anyone ever used this company to get from nyc airports to cruise and back?  Looks legit just looking for any reviews of the service

unless its changed in the last 2 years, yes at the buffet and dining room for lunch and dinner

when can i book online, is it 90 or 120 days out?

My flight info is available!  I've not received email notification like last time, but it was present in my edocs.  The record locator number was incorrect, but since it listed specific flights I was able to search on AA.com and find it.  It was ticketed on Sept 11 which was 32 days out.  They booked my traveling companion and I both in middle seats, even in different rows, so I did an immediately seat change to place us together before it sold out.  

thats very shady and making me reconsider.  There are 3 of us including a 2 year old and i just assumed we would get 3 seats together, silly of me to assume right

My go to’s were blue iguana and Mongolian wok.  Save guys for later as it’s open later and longer than the other 2

Our 1 year old has only traveled with a car seat.  Has anyone done shore excursions that require ground transportation and requested a car seat or do you just carry them on the busses?

We like PB for older families but it would not be my first choice with toddler - busy and loungers too close together for running around, IMO.

 

I would suggest looking at Playa Mia or day pass to Allegro for splashgrounds, Chankanaab, Park Royal day pass - for no transport options from International or Puerta Maya, or we have done Punta Morena for large beach with plenty of room to run, but transport is difficult.

I can't find any info on park royale booking online or pricing. We wanted to go somewhere else but didn't know how to take our then 6 month old in a taxi and be safe...

can't find much info online about park royale, is there a website i am missing or did you just walk up day of and book?

Any thoughts on taking a cab from port to mr Sanchos with an infant. Was about to book but then realized we won't have a car seat with us for our 6 month old. Any options or should we find an AI within walking distance of puerto maya (if thats the case ill take recommendations on those as well if any)

Its been a few years since I've done a carnival. How does this work when it comes to scheduled arrival into port. Looking at doing Sanchos in cozumel but we aren't scheduled to arrive until noon. Will that actually be noon Miami time or noon cozumel time?

Cruise leaves from miami on eastern time.

looks like i can save about 160 but lose 60 in credits, so 100 dollars net.

Did you all call and have them do it or do i have to call and cancel and rebook on my own?

This is for Jade in December

we also received the distinctive port credit for 50 dollar credit at each port. Can we call ahead and book and use the credit.

Also is it limited or can we use the 50 dollars at EVERY port

May have to cancel an upcoming cruise outside of the final payment date. Will NCL only refund to the credit cards used for payment or can i request a different refund method. TIA

We stayed at the Hilton Riverside. Right on the trolley line and a short walk into the French Quarter.

Agree with this recommendation. It wont be the cheapest option, but easy walk to the quarter and walking distance to the port! Get some charbroiled oysters from Dragos located inside the lobby as well!

following!

Thanks for posting!

Anyone have any good, bad or mixed experiences booking tours through them? Looks like we could save a ton of money versus booking through norwegian but would love to hear some opinions

what were his prices

Will be staying at La Concha Renaissance in condado for pre cruise stay. Looking for recommendations for a good place to get drinks and food that won't break the bank. Possibly some local food but nothing fancy so we can visit it shorts.

This is January 2018 so ill take any recommendations between now and then! Thanks in advance

i know this is a longshot, but by any chance do you remember the menu at osheehans. Curious if its changed with the refurb;

1) is there choices for wing sauce (thai chili, jamaican jerk, etc) or is it still just hot/mild.

2) were there fajitas on the menu?

Also who was the cruise director and did they have the "O what a night" show?
