NCL quoted us $50 per person per direction for the shuttle (not round trip, one way) but they did say the toddler under three was free so it would have cost us $150 as a family each direction.

 

I'm sorry for steering you wrong on transfer prices but I just can't understand why NCL would charge TWICE what Princess charges ! What is so special about NCL ? I'm doing a solo on the Getaway but I think I will go back to Princess. Apparently everything is more expensive on NCL, even transfers.

I'm not expecting a ton from the tour but about anything beats the inside of an airport for hours on end. Can I ask about what time the tour started and when it was done?

 

Can't remember the exact times, but there was a dedicated disembarkation time and baggage tag. We met in the theater and once everybody was there, they took us off the boat as a group and halted the disembarkation process for others. It was definitely scheduled after self-disembarkation and maybe one or two groups. So still time to have breakfast!

 

We were at IAH between 1 and 1:30, which is probably why they say your flight has to leave after 3:30.

 

There were two stops, one at the San Jacinto monument and one at the art museum (bathroom break / food court) but lots of driving through downtown, the Texas Medical Centre and the arts district. I agree that the main benefit is not having to wait at the airport, especially since the price ends up being almost the same.
