Rare horseymike Posted April 9, 2016 #1 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Has anyone done the pre cruise night at the Marriott Waikiki ? Also would like to know about the NCL bus to the pier on day of embarkation. Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated. Mahalo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwayneG Posted April 10, 2016 #2 Share Posted April 10, 2016 We spent a couple nights at Marriott through NCL and found it to be a good idea. We checked into NCL desk on arrival, had a flower lei greeting (included). Took care of most of our paperwork there, then day of trip the bus took us to pier. Left our tagged luggage in our rooms, next saw it in our cabins. Checkin at pier was a breeze. These benefits are only available if you book through NCL, otherwise you get no special treatment. We didn't think the price was out of line considering the convenience it afforded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be there pre-cruise for one night through the special package offer NCL was running, but we booked through a travel agent. Not sure that will qualify us for the benefits you mentioned. The travel agent did say that NCL will provide for our transportation to the pier. I didn't know NCL had their own desk there. That's nice too! Does their bus leave at various times for the pier or is there one set time they will take everyone? We're thinking of trying to board around noon if possible.

DwayneG Posted April 11, 2016 #4 Share Posted April 11, 2016 NCL told us when to get on the bus. I know there were several buses, but they didn't ask if we had a preference. Buses did leave rather early...around 10, if I recall...because they also needed us out of the rooms to pickup luggage and turn rooms around.
