We are going on the Ovation visiting Alaska in September. Noticed that I-fly is available to book at a cost. Is there still a free version available when we board? Thanks! Wonder what's the difference with the paid version versus the free version. I think the paid version is still 1 minute, which is the same as free (if it's still available).

Thank you so much @Cruisemom and @CruiseBruce. The ship is scheduled (per itinerary) to arrive at 6 am. I usually cruise in the USA and 12:50 pm flight with walk off usually is fine as long as ship arrives smoothly, right? 🙂 Just wasn't sure how this works in Europe. Plus heard a lot of chaotic stories on line regarding how long one needs to stand in line for security etc. Glad to hear that the process is similar to the USA. Thanks!

We're planning a Princess cruise in March round trip Civitavecchia. This is our first time on a Princess cruise in Europe, so I'm not familiar of their embarkation process. Husband and I plan on doing the walk off (do they have self walk-off?) as soon as possible. We're looking at a 12:50 pm return flight (AA Airline) out of FCO. If we hire the RomeCab as soon as we walk off, do we have enough time to catch our plane? Will we get there at least 3.5 hours before departure? I heard FCO departure for American airlines could be chaotic, plus heavy traffic, and also long lines? If we stay overnight and catch the next day's flight, we'll have to pay $500 more plus an extra night of hotel. Any advice? Thanks in advance!

Yes, also considering between the Express or the Limo. Hoping someone can share experience. Thanks.

I'm considering the same option too. Can you share what transfer do you use from airport to hotel, and then hotel to pier, then pier back to airport? Thanks!

Does the airport Marriot provides shuttle to the NCL terminal? I thought it's pretty far away. Is there a fee? Thanks

Will be on the Prima in March. Wants to take the Free 2nd person Air. Its really economical, plus the deal includes round trip transfer. Flying from Seattle to Galveston cruise the day of! If I do the air deviation arriving a day earlier, the cost of hotel and transfers are quite steep, out of the budget. Just want to hear from folks what's your experience with their air arrangement itinerary? Is it fairly reliable? Thanks so much!

New with NCL. Can I reserve for specialty dining if I have the Free At Sea offer, or do I need to wait until I get on the ship? Also, if I can pre-reserve, can I do it on the NCK app ahead of boarding? Thanks!

May I ask which hotel you're staying? The picture looks great!

So was it false alarm last year? Thx

I'm on the Ovation Sep 8. Noticed on the app and also web site cruise planner that we now have 3 sea days. The Endicott Arm Glacier and Juneau port both disappeared. Although Juneau excursions appear to be available (visually) on the cruise planner, but the "reserve" button is muted and not available to book. From another post, appears that both the Quantum and Ovation Alaska cruises are having this same issue. Anyone has any thoughts? Hoping this is just an IT glitch. The glacier and Juneau are the highlights of an Alaska cruise. RCL needs to do better if this is another IT mishap.

@Lovelife, thanks so much! Go it. Don't realize there's a whole new world of calendars out there 🙂

The app will only show the schedules for my sailing which is 15 days from now. can't see the cruise planner for any other sailings

Just saw the entire Daily Planner shows and activities loaded to the mobile phone RCL cruise app. 15 days to go until cruise time 🙂 While this is fantastic, I noticed that there are no headliner shows nor welcome aboard show loaded. No activities in the Royal Theatre except for the scheduled Grease, Columbus shows. Does any one who's on the earlier HOS cruise saw any of the headliner shows? I'm hoping that these shows will get loaded at a later time, and it's not due to cutback. Hoping someone can confirm that there are headliner shows onboard lately! Thanks.

Is the tenderloin for two served table side? Or how is that different from the single portion? Thanks.

Can I order 2 main dishes at the same time?

what is BC and DL?

Please let us know when you received. Thanks!

Got the RCL refund email 2 days ago, and I've just received notification from my credit card that the $88.99 has been refunded.

I believe this is only if your OBC is refundable, like the type of OBC that travel agency typically gives out. However, the type of OBC that RCL is giving us is non-refundable, I don't think one can cash it out from GS.

@Host CJSKIDS thanks for the great info. I will also stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites mid April pre-cruise. Would love suggestions to something reasonable (not expensive), but just a comfortable clean restaurant for dinner for 2. Thanks in advance! 🙂

No kidding. that's too much. Ugh.

Ha ha.... I like this analogy. It's like someone go buy a lotto ticket for $1, hoping that it will return multimillion. If you win, awesome. But if you don't win, you will get your $1 back + $0.60. Wow, is that a deal or not!! 🙂

WHich email address did you use? Thx!

You only need to book under 1 person. It's a package that covers 2 people.
