I received and use that offer on gold card last October, about 1 month before a final payments on one of my reservations. Its a targeted offer, I'm sure you will get it sometime in the future.

We are on the NCL Encore May 19th sailing, Mendenhall Glacier + salmon bake sold out. Will book Mendanhall with Juneau Tours, thanks for posting.

This is the best way to make your flight. Carry your own luggage and jump on a yellow taxi, I think its a flat rate of $40 or $45 from pier 66 to airport

Depending on your Latitude tier, you get a 10-20% off shore excursions. Also if you booked with the FAS package, you get $50 off every excursion booked with NCL, for one person per cabin. The $50 off will be deducted on your onboard account after completing excursion.

Big fan of the show, can't wait!

Also deadliest catch tour is another excursion that sells out fast, I booked direct instead of the cruise line excursion.

Don't know if its the VIP, but the White Pass excursion that goes to Bennett its 7.5 hrs, if that's what you want and is available book it. Im going in a few week, that excursion sold out early December.

If you are interested on the White Pass rail excursion (6+hrs), book early, it sells out and then you are stuck with the basic 2.5 hrs scenic train ride.

If you search the internet for shuttle from Hobby airport to port of Galveston you will find a few companies that offer shared transport. Compare prices and check reviews, you will find a reliable transfer shuttle. We use one last year, about $30 pp, service was good.

I like selecting my flights, I pick the most direct and most convenient time for me. We normally fly in a day before, so definitely don't want be checking in at a hotel at 02:30 in the morning. I may pay a little more, I'll consider that an insurance.

On embarkation day, we found a yellow envelope marked "For Your Eyes Only" with a folder, patch, challenge coin and pin inside, on a separate an invitation to attend gathering. You have to be registered with NCL for Military Appreciation Program.

I was aboard the Viva, March 3rd sailing. The gathering took place in the observation deck, about 30+ attendees. They passed hors d'oeuvres and drinks, a performer for Syd Norman band, sang the National Anthem, then they had all veterans introduce themselves (Name, Branch and years of service) It was about an hour long. 10% discount is great. Thank you NCL for recognizing our veterans.

I do my booking directly on NCL website, have 3 cruises coming and never spoke to a PCC.

Any further updates, is ship departing tonight?

Beer Belly, I'm also on NCL Encore in May. I booked the Mediterranean inn, less than a mile from pier 66. I'm pretty sure there's some craft beers in that area.
