Does anyone know what the earliest time you can drop luggage off at terminal 10 for NCL on the day of your cruise? We are driving down and have some family flying into Orlando, then renting a car to get to the hotel the night before. Our van will easily accommodate all of the people going to the port, but not the luggage. Trying to figure out if I can load all the luggage in our van to go to the port at like 8 am while my dad takes the rental car back. I would then pick him up and go back to the hotel to get the entire party. Our goal is to get to the terminal with everyone during our 9-9:30 check in window (I know we can’t board until later, but it’s much easier to wait with a seat than stand). We have two small kids (3 and 7mo) so dropping them off at the port with mom and grandma to wrangle the carry ons associated with kids would be difficult while we take the rental back. Plus my oldest would not let dad and grandpa go somewhere without him. Any info would be appreciated.

We are sailing with our 7mo(will be 8mo at the time of sailing). I went ahead and submitted the special request form to bring water for making formula bottles a while back. Printed our cruise documents this morning and their tagged liquids approved. Does anyone have any experience with this? I don’t want to have to carry the water on if I don’t have to, so hoping it can go in as checked luggage. Last thing I want to do is lug around a case of water until our rooms our ready.

We are good friends with a local larger brewery owner/brew master and he said that CO2 is a huge issue right now for beer. Nitrogen is even worse apparently. Sounds like they’re pushing the CO2 to the largest consumers and with beer/soda being on the lower end, they don’t get the quantities

We found this out shortly after booking and wasn’t the happiest either. We are sailing in March with our two sons , 3yo and 8mo(at the time of sailing), and was hoping for some parents only time. Luckily my parents and their friends who are like aunt/uncle to me and my kids are on the sailing as well, hopefully we will be able to break away for some much needed parent time. We sailed with our oldest while my wife was pregnant back in February this year on Royal. They offered under 3 childcare at a fee during the day, you just had to prebook the 2 hour windows and pay a nominal $6-7 for each window. The timing wasn’t always the best, but gave us a great opportunity to have a date night on the ship and get that feeling of what cruising was like pre-kids. Really wish NCL had something similar.

We are on the escape for the week of the 18th of March. First NCL cruise, but having cruised out of both ports with RCL, we prefer Orlando. Mostly because it’s a more feasible drive from where we are in SC and a whole lot less busy since it houses less ships.

Buffalo trace and Blantons are my usual go to as well, but living in SC you can’t find it. One of my friends passes through once every couple months coming from his girlfriends place outside Atlanta and brings me a stockpile…happy to hear it’ll be an option on the boat

So we booked our first NCL cruise on the escape in March 23. Typically my wife and I have always been loyal to Royal, but after the worst cruise experience ever in February when we took our toddler on his first cruise, we booked a multigenerational cruise with family for next March. That being said, I’m a big bourbon guy but every cruise I seem to resort to a Kracken and Coke Zero for my go to drink or a rum drink by the pool. Looking at the breakdown for the beverage package, I don’t see Kracken listed. Anyone know if it’s available on NCL or am I stuck with horrific college flashbacks to Captain and Coke…yes there’s a sorry and no I’m not telling.
