We used Cocoa Beach Shuttle last month and I wouldn’t recommend. They were over an hour late to pick us up at MCO and then waited 45 minutes longer for another couple. From the time we landed, until we checked into our PC hotel it was nearly 4 hours.
This is almost the exact reverse of the one we have booked. You will have to post after, and let us know how it went. Especially if there are things you recommend.
Those look good too. I may have to try them on my next cruise. It’s 21days and I’m already concerned about getting my caffeine fix first thing in the morning.
Just did this. We booked an OV for a 21 day Panama Canal voyage and used points to upgrade to a balcony. Only took about 10 minutes on the phone and saved over $2000
I was able to unpack once and travel to a variety of wonderful new places.
The fabulous views of the huge expanse of nothing but ocean. It always makes me realize how much more there is to discover.
I actually only brought my own for my husband’s benefit.
If they only had decaf on our May cruise, he would be swimming to shore each morning. 😂. I’m not a fan of NCL coffee.
I prefer strong coffee, so I brought these with me. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07C6C4QDS?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title
Several on the Getaway in May complained that only decaf pods were available from the stewards
I haven’t found any trip reports either, other than what @YVRteacher posted above. I know we have some different ports, but it’s nice to get an idea.
I found a roll call for the 2024 cruise which is quite active. Hopefully one of them will write a review/trip report.
We booked a balcony cabin. We looked into the Haven also, but couldn’t justify the cost difference. We wanted to be able to spend on the excursions instead.
I plan on buying Vibe passes when they become available, that way we can avoid some of the crowds. Although, also hoping it’s not at 100% occupancy. Do you know if these long cruises are usually full?
We applied in October 2022 and received them in less than 6 weeks. However, my photo was on my husband’s passport and his was on mine. We had to start from the beginning and pay for expedited processing/shipping to receive the correct ones in time. At least we didn’t have to pay the fees again
Our first cruise we do not know to do online checkin prior to the cruise. We had our confirmation number, and our passports. The process took an extra five minutes. Have your credit card ready that you are using to set up your account, also
Have a great time ⚓️
Not really something you need to bring, but..
Hubby and I always cross-pack our luggage, with half of our clothes in each suitcase. This way, if one bag should go missing, we would still have something to wear.
Normally you receive an email from NCL (or your travel agent if booked through one). However, this time I did not receive one. I called NCL, and they resent the email.
I like using a towel band so I can easily find my chair when I return from getting a drink or such. I have a tendency to not pay attention to exactly where I was sitting
