rickcee Posted July 24, 2019 #1 Share Posted July 24, 2019 60 days out today and I recieved my edocs with air record locator (confirmation) number. Problem is air transportation is scheduled for day of cruise. I have payed for the air deviation to leave the day before cruise. Should I be worried about this? Or will NCL correct this mistake before sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snow1 Posted July 24, 2019 #3 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Honestly, I doubt NCL will correct this on their own Call Premium Air 866-625-1163 Just be prepared to wait on line. Good Luck !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbrown84 Posted July 24, 2019 #4 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Did you book your hotel stay thru NCL? If yes, then maybe this transport is to the hotel. If not, then call them to have them remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomk3212 Posted July 25, 2019 #5 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Did you book the cruise yourself or though your TA? If TA contact them IMMEDIATELY. If you booked it yourself call the Premium Air number that @snow1 kindly provided above NOW. NCL has been having issues with their entire reservations infrastructure as they iron out the bugs in their new system so this error MAY correct itself in time but I wouldn't count on it!!

bobsfamily Posted July 25, 2019 #6 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I have heard that between 60 and 40 days out there can be changes in the flights.... just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickcee Posted July 25, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted July 25, 2019 Waited on hold with Premium air about a hour and a half yesterday afternoon before getting cut off at 5:30 closing time. Called 1st thing this morning. After a 20 min wait they did correct my flight to the day before sailing. And yes they did blame the reservation system. Stated that the 2 different systems where not communicating correctly. But anyhow my edocs are now correct and I was able to pick my seats for the flight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is comforting to hear - just booked a cruise for Feb 2021 with free/reduced air, first time we've ever used it - a very good deal for us from Canada also considering it's not a simple return flight (Panama Canal Miami to LA). When during the process did you let them know you wanted your flights for the day before? I would like to do this too, but assume it's way too early, but also don't want to miss out on any window of opportunity for changes etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think if I where you I would do it ASAP. Just plan on having time to be on hold for a least 45 min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just plan on having time to be on hold for a least 45 min. Thanks - appreciate the heads up. Even with the $25 or $50 pp change fee, we are still coming out way ahead. It's quoting me $133 CAD plus transfer of 48.20 CAD, for one way to Miami and one way back home from LA. Would love to get to Miami a day or two earlier to relax and enjoy the beach.

snow1 Posted July 25, 2019 #11 Share Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) It's never too early. I would call them and book it as soon as you know you want to fly in earlier than your cruise date. They will charge you the deviation fee on the spot. Just know that if you cancel your cruise, the deviation fee is non-refundable. And plan to be on hold for awhile.

shady2415 Posted July 25, 2019 #12 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I would contact NCL and get it straightened out before it's too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hubers982 Posted October 26, 2019 #14 Share Posted October 26, 2019 we are thinking of flying in a day early for our cruise. do we have to go through NCL for the hotel in order for us to be able to change our flight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dporter Posted October 27, 2019 #15 Share Posted October 27, 2019 If you have a PCC they can make the air deviation to day before for you and charge your the fee, in my case it was $25.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NO....the hotel is your choice. Also, NCL will automatically charge you for the transfers if you choose their free or reduced airfare. You do not have to take them.....as long as you call and tell them to remove them from your reservation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debandbruce Posted October 27, 2019 #17 Share Posted October 27, 2019 so happy this topic came up. We are also from Canada and flying to Rome for our Nov 1 2020 cruise. We get reduced airfare but also want to fly in 2 days earlier so this has answered a couple of questions we had, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimi330 Posted October 28, 2019 #18 Share Posted October 28, 2019 We booked a cruise to Italy and Greece in September 2020, departing from Montreal and arriving in Rome. We already asked to arrive 2 days earlier, they charged $25 per person and modified our transfers. We now have the transfer from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel to the station and it costs us $28 less. We do not take the hotel by NCL the price is too high and they only have one hotel to offer us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
