We're planning a trip for next year and we need to fly into the port where the ship will embark from. Can anyone recommend if it's best to book your own travel and arrange for your bags to be taken to the ship (versus we take them to the ship with us) OR, use NCL's airsea program? I realize we would have to assume the risk's involved with booking our own travel, versus using NCL's program whereby if there was an issue with delayed flights they would arrange to get us to the ship no matter what. However I've heard that the issue with the airsea program is that you are at their mercy as far as schedule and you don't have the choice as to what flight they book you on. We'll have a very tight schedule (have to fly in the morning of departure and fly out the day of return), one of us HAS to be at work the next day.

Appreciate your feedback!
